Tennessee Titans right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere is suspended six games in 2023 for violating the league’s gambling policy. The 23-year-old was included in the recent wave of suspensions that came as result of the NFL’s crackdown on gambling.

Petit-Frere acknowledged his wrongdoing, but said that he did not place bets on his own sport and only violated the policy because he didn’t know the rules. He took responsibility, but placed blame on a lack of understanding.

Damian Lillard has preached loyalty to the Trail Blazers throughout the franchise’s repeated woes over the last few years. When other superstars fled their teams in free agency or via trade requests, he stayed put. But it’s been 11 years since Portland drafted him and it appears he’s reached his limit.
Lillard has requested a trade from the franchise and fans have criticized him for wanting out after so much talk of wanting to stay put. On Sunday, he addressed the criticism and is looking for answers.
“It’s in my blood to take the high road,” he wrote on Twitter.
Days after hundreds of pages documents were made public by a Florida court, Tiger Woods has spoken out regarding one of the filings.
Sleeve it to Luke Voit to flex some skin on the plate and hit a dinger.
Voit, a former HR leader in MLB, set off social media Saturday playing for the Triple-A affiliate Syracuse Mets when he rocked a short-sleeve look that admittedly upped his swagger on the plate.
He sent the pitch flying in the bottom of the eighth inning, right into the scoreboard, against the Scranton-Wilkes Barre RailRiders. The score was a bit overdue considering the 7-1 deficit, but Voit still made the at-bat memorable with his makeshift V-neck uniform.
With trade rumors continuing to swirl this offseason, Tyler Herro appeared to signal change could be on the horizon based on the Heat guard’s recent social media activity.
Herro’s name has been mentioned as part of conversations concerning possible deals Miami could make to upgrade its roster fresh off the club’s second NBA Finals run in four years. The chatter reached a fever pitch on Saturday after the Heat’s rumored top trade target Damian Lillard requested a trade from the Trail Blazers.
Biff Poggi was named the head football coach at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in November. Although the 64-year-old’s tenure with the 49ers has been short, it has not been uneventful.
Poggi, whose legal name is ‘Francis Xavier,’ ruffled some feathers at the end of last week. He took aim at a rival coach, and his own fanbase within a 24-hour span.
To say that Poggi marches to the beat of his own drum would be an understatement. Few people in college football can approach the sport from his perspective.
Bridges will start the season serving 10 games of a 30-game suspension.

During Thursday’s TNT broadcast of The Match, Charles Barkley lobbed a not-so-subtle jab at Fox Sports 1 host Skip Bayless. The insult came as Barkley was discussing where Travis Kelce ranked among the NFL’s greatest tight ends of all time, mentioning the Chiefs star alongside Rob Gronkowski and Shannon Sharpe.
Sharpe, of course, recently left his position as co-host with Bayless on the program Undisputed. After Barkley listed Sharpe, he quipped that he wished he could have a job like Sharpe’s where he could get a contract buyout for working with an “idiot.
I woke up on Sunday morning looking forward to a full day of watching the final round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Rickie Fowler, one of my favorite professional golfers, entered the day with the lead. I recommended people bet him on OutKick’s golf betting podcast. Collin Morikawa, another PGA Tour star, sat just a few shots back of Fowler.
But imagine my surprise when I got up and saw an alert in the PGA Tour app. The round was already underway.
Not only that, it wasn’t on TV. Anywhere.
