Tua Tagovailoa clapped back to some recent ESPN criticism, and instead of feeding into it, Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins used it as platform to big up their QB.

The second-year big man showcased an intriguing set of skills as a rookie to build upon moving forward.
Clarifying the future of the Charlotte Hornets stalled throughout much of last season as LaMelo Ball battled repeated ankle injuries and missed 46 games. But on 24 separate occasions, visions of a prosperous world flashed across the screen. That’s the number of times Ball connected with rookie center Mark Williams for a bucket. Hopes of a dynamic pick-and-roll tandem bubbled.
Months after ending his tenure on FS1’s Undisputed opposite Skip Bayless, Shannon Sharpe is joining that show’s chief rival.
On Thursday morning, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith confirmed longstanding reports that Sharpe will join his show, First Take. Sharpe will join the rotating cast of characters who debate Smith on a wide range of sports topics, starting on Sept. 4.
“Official this morning, Mr. Shannon Sharpe will be joining the crew,” Smith said. “He will debut Monday, September 4. He will on here every Monday and Tuesday with yours truly.”
In true Stephen A.
If U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson is taking input from players already on the squad about whether or not Brooks Koepka should be a captain’s pick, he’s already gotten votes of approval from both Scottie Scheffler and Brian Harman.
Koepka fell from the No. 5 spot to No. 7 following last week’s BMW Championship leaving his fate for Rome in the hands of Johnson and a captain’s pick.
Earlier this week, I shared what I considered to be the ultimate fantasy draft for a team playing in a 10-team league. More and more fantasy enthusiasts are playing in 10-team leagues. Of course, 12-team leagues are still quite popular and common, so it’s worth trying this exercise in a 12-team format.
Regardless the format, the perfect draft.is what we strive for in the world of fantasy football. Imagine a draft so impeccable that you barely need to make any roster moves all season, outside of injuries and bye weeks. It’s fantasy nirvana. And it’s within reach. (No really, it is).
Trey Lance could be on the move after the 49ers reportedly sided with Sam Darnold to be the backup quarterback for Brock Purdy this season.
The 49ers traded multiple first-round picks to the Dolphins to select Lance at No. 3 in the 2021 draft. Now San Francisco might be looking to recoup some draft capital with Lance possibly no longer in its long-term plans after the emergence of Purdy, who guided the 49ers to the NFC title game last season.
Prior to capturing the 2010 Heisman Trophy at Auburn, Cam Newton was a backup quarterback at Florida as the school returned to prominence under coach Urban Meyer.
As such, Newton is well-qualified to speak on the widely criticized Netflix documentary Swamp Kings, which chronicles Florida’s program during Meyer’s tenure from 2005 through ’10, which included two national championships.
Among the issues Newton had with the documentary was how Netflix portrayed former Gators QB Chris Leak, who was the starter on Meyer’s first national championship team in 2006.
Each year, one of my favorite fantasy football experiences is a big draft I do in my community with friends and neighbors. I share a team and, thus, share responsibility for the final drafted product. After evaluating our roster last year, my good friend had this succinct (and accurate) takeaway: We had a lot of busts. The question was: Why?
The answer? Obsessions are momentary but feel like certainty. Last year, I would have told you that the outside-zone scheme was finally going to topple and destroy the NFL. I bet big on Travis Etienne, Javonte Williams and AJ Dillon.
We all know that Texas and Oklahoma will be the biggest attraction for opposing teams this season in the Big 12. While both teams prepare for a final season in the conference, Commissioner Brett Yormark is having fun at their expense.
The final season for the Longhorns in the Big 12 will lead to teams looking to knockoff Texas as a parting gift on their way to the SEC. So, it really shouldn’t be surpassing that Brett Yormark is having a little fun at the expense of the nearly departed.
