Paul Pierce was infamously fired by ESPN in April 2021 after videos of the then-NBA analyst partying went viral on social media. Fast forward nearly two years later, and the Hall of Famer still sounds in disbelief over the sports media giant’s decision to let him go.
Pierce pleaded his case while recalling the notorious story during a recent appearance on the I Am Athlete podcast.
As UCF football gears up for its spring game on Friday night, the Knights are throwing it back. The offense is, at least.
This is not the first time that Central Florida has released new uniforms for their spring scrimmage. Back in 2021, the Knights replaced the last names on the back of their jerseys with social media handles. Last year, they traded jersey numbers for QR codes in an effort to help boost their players’ NIL opportunities and grow their brands.

Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers aren’t in this draft, but there’s still a lot of talent entering the WNBA. The Indiana Fever have the top pick.
Deion Sanders is already transforming the Colorado football program. Among the new talent the Buffaloes’ coach brought to the school is his son, Shedeur, who also played for his father at Jackson State.
He spoke to reporters on Sunday and opened up about being on his father’s roster, revealing that he tends to avoid the 55-year-old on game days.
“I mean, from my experience with him, I stay away from him on game day,” Shedeur said of his father. “I don’t ask him nothing, I don’t hang around, I don’t play with him. I just keep my distance from him.
It is well-documented that Tiger Woods has not been the same since his near-fatal car crash Feb. 23, 2021. The Big Cat underwent emergency surgery that was able to save his leg, but took a significant toll on his mobility and functionality.
Tiger Woods is hurting.
Woods admitted before The Masters that while his endurance and caliber of play was up, as was his discomfort. His leg ached more than it had before, and his caddie offered a discouraging update on how the 47-year-old felt.
