Hulu’s hit show The Bear released its second season last week and the drama is nothing short of a cultural moment.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst inadvertently created quite the stir earlier this week when he called into local Cleveland sports talk radio and said that there was some “outlandish” stuff that the Cavaliers were looking into this offseason to improve their roster.
Naturally, the internet took it and ran with it. It somehow got twisted into rumors that Cleveland was looking into trading either of its star guards, Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell.
Windhorst called back into ESPN Cleveland to clarify his remarks from earlier this week.
Professional athletes, including NFL players, smoke weed and use cannabis. That’s just a fact, and nothing about said fact is surprising. What may be a bit of a shock is just how many players around the league indulge in the devil’s lettuce, which Travis Kelce estimates up to 80% of them take part.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end hit a bit of a speed bump involving cannabis during his college days at Cincinnati when he was suspended for using the drug. Now, entering his 10th year in the NFL, he’s seen some things, including how players who do use cannabis consistently pass drug tests.

The women’s Money in the Bank ladder match has a history of the winner cashing in that very same night. Liv Morgan (2022), Bayley (’19) and Alexa Bliss (’18) all cashed in on the night of the victory, while Nikki A.S.H.
Jamil Muhammad has had one of the more unique journeys in college football. The 6-foot-1, 217-pound Alabama-native was a three-star quarterback recruit in the Class of 2019.
Now, five years later, he is playing defensive end/linebacker in Los Angeles.

A handful of NFL players, including the Colts’ Isaiah Rodgers, are expected to receive season-long suspensions this week for violating the NFL’s policy on gambling, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Domonique Foxworth is one of many ESPN commentators who likes to play the race card. Almost all of his “hot takes” revolve around the theme that white people are bad. But on Wednesday, while discussing HBO’s “Hard Knocks” he actually delivered a strong — and correct — opinion.

Scottie Scheffler is playing so well that he is on a different level right now that only Tiger Woods could understand.
