The Saints are in need of help in the backfield and apparently are looking at former Pro Bowl selection Kareem Hunt to possibly fill that void.
Hunt is making a free-agent visit to New Orleans while the team continues to shop for tailbacks, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. 
Alvin Kamara will be out to start the year while serving a three-game suspension, and Eno Benjamin will miss the year after suffering a torn Achilles tendon last week, making the Saints serious buyers at the position.

This is actually pretty terrifying.
The triathlon is a grueling event. Over 30 miles of combined swimming, biking and running in an event only the most elite athletes are able to contend in. It’s difficult in the best of conditions, but when you have explosive diarrhea — well, for lack of a better term, it gets messy.
Organizers of the World Triathlon Championships as well as the city of Sunderland in the UK are coming under fire after 57 athletes became sick with e-coli after the race last weekend.

Chargers coach Brandon Staley had a pretty cool experience in the spring. And it affirmed something he was feeling with his team at the time.
Over the past two years, Staley, like any new head coach, looked to instill a culture and philosophy into his locker room, something that’s easier to say than it is to do. He felt like what it would take, over time, was the Chargers’ best players, first and foremost, buying into what he and his staff were selling, and then for those players to also be the best people and workers in the organization.

Austin Reaves might not love the “Hillbilly Kobe” nickname, but he’s certainly giving Lakers and NBA fans alike a flashback to one of Kobe Bryant’s memorable career moments. And while it’s unfair to compare anyone to the incomparable Bryant, Reaves did manage to evoke the late legend with a jaw-dropping shot Sunday in Las Vegas.
While practicing with Team USA ahead of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, Reaves channeled his inner Kobe by taking a pass in the left corner and draining a left-handed three-pointer over Mikal Bridges.

Biles is dominating again, but she’s not ready to talk Olympics yet.
There’s no rust on Simone Biles despite being away from competitive gymnastics for two years, taking home gold in the all-around at the U.S. Classic, in what could be a prelude for a return to the Olympic games at Paris 2024.
Biles didn’t just win, she dominated — ending five points ahead of Leanne Wong, who finished second in the event.

The guy with the third pick in your fantasy draft has carefully built his team: Christian McCaffrey in the first round, Tony Pollard in the second, Tee Higgins in the third, Joe Burrow in the fourth and Diontae Johnson in the fifth. Ideally, he plans on securing wide receiver depth in the sixth and seventh rounds but – as his pick approaches – a wide receiver run occurs and the players he wants are gone.
Receiver-happy drafters on Underdog snag Jordan Addison, Gabe Davis, Jahan Dotson and George Pickens ahead of their average draft positions (ADP). The 1.

Dak Prescott’s 15 interceptions in 2022 have been a storyline that has withstood the offseason. Much has been made of his decision-making and accuracy, but the Cowboys appear to be hinting at much greener pastures this upcoming season. 
New offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is confident that any questions about Prescott’s turnovers will be put to rest and told Yahoo Sports it’s “a storyline that I expect is not going to be a storyline this year.

The men’s road race at the Cycling World Championships in Scotland was stopped on Sunday after activists, including one transgender protester, glued themselves to a portion of the road the race was being held on.
The trans protester, Rebecca Kerr, said that they were on site to protest the recent ruling that transgender females could not race against biological women. A total of five people were arrested after stopping the race for around 50 minutes, according to The Telegraph.
Kerr ultimately decided to help stop the race in the name of “hypocrisy.

The Lakers aren’t bidding against themselves when it comes to free agent Christian Wood, but it does appear they’re in wait-and-see mode in regard to the forward. Although Los Angeles only can offer the veteran minimum salary to Wood currently, he apparently remains the team’s top target as it looks to complete its roster.
But according to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, the belief is that the team would “prefer to get something done sooner than later” on its final roster spot. And Wood? He reportedly remains the team’s top choice.
