As the NBA world remains on Damian Lillard trade watch, the star point guard responded to a Twitter “mishap” in which he liked a tweet suggesting that Trail Blazers governor Jody Allen should sell the team.
The tweet, which came from Portland fan Daniel Redelk said “[Trail Blazers] please sell to Phil Knight he’ll talk [Damian Lillard] into staing and doesn’t care about goin into the luxury tax. Please sell to him,,,he’ll (sic) [Seahawks] are already there please don’t let Portland suffer we’d like to see [Lillard] win a title here in Portland.
Hawks guard Trae Young will forever be tied to, and compared to, Mavericks star Luka Dončić thanks to a 2018 draft night trade between Atlanta and Dallas.
Often, when picks are exchanged in the top five for players who have yet to set foot on the hardwood, there’s a tendency for one team to get a generational player and for another team to miss out.
In this case, the draft night deal between the Hawks and the Mavericks actually worked out for both sides. Atlanta selected Dončić No. 3 overall, and traded him to Dallas for Young, who was the No. 5 pick.
Curt Schilling: 1Alex Rodriguez: 0
This past week on The Curt Schilling Baseball Show, the Cy-Young award winning, World Series Champion pitcher told a hilarious story about when he stared down Alex Rodriguez and became the victor during the 2002 All-Star Game.
At the time, the 35-year-old Schilling was pitching for the Arizona Diamondbacks while a 26-year-old A-Rod was with the Texas Rangers.
To his credit, this is when Alex Rodriguez was prime Alex Rodriguez.
Former Notre Dame and NFL free agent tight end Kyle Rudolph will call Big Ten games for NBC this fall, he told The Athletic earlier this week.
Rudolph, who spent his college career playing nationally televised home games on NBC with the Irish, will now step into a role calling games as part of the new Big Ten television package with NBC. Rudolph hasn’t officially retired from the NFL, but the step into broadcasting is a good indication that his playing days may be behind him.
Rudolph called Notre Dame’s spring football game in his first official warm-up for his new role.
Vondrousova could become the first unseeded women’s Wimbledon champion in history, or Jabeur could become the first African woman in the Open era to win the title. Our experts make predictions.
The Mother Ship, more commonly referred to as ESPN, has been a mother at releasing talented cargo in droves of late.
On June 30, Disney-owned ESPN let go of such on-air talent such as Suzy Kolber, Todd McShay, Steve Young and Keyshawn Johnson with NFL coverage, Jeff Van Gundy and Jalen Rose with NBA coverage, and David Pollack and Gene Wojciechowski with College Football’s GameDay.
Latest ESPN Layoffs Claimed Big Names From Big Shows
There were 20 layoffs in all that followed a previous round of layoffs totaling about 100 last April.
In what is becoming an unfortunately consistent trend, Shohei Ohtani left Friday night’s game after re-injuring one of the fingers on his throwing hand. It’s the second straight time that the phenom has had to leave a game early while on the mound due to a lingering blister caused by a fingernail.
Shohei Ohtani is getting looked at by the trainer again. He’s coming out of the game.
Presumably this is the fingernail again. Nevin said before the game it wouldn’t be an issue anymore. But it seems to be bothering him.
An apparent boneheaded play by the Mavs in NBA Summer League was actually the refs’ mistake.
The strangest sequence of 2023 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas played out during the fourth quarter of a blowout between the Dallas Mavericks and Indiana Pacers. With Dallas on its way to a rout late in the game, big man Marcus Bingham Jr. grabbed a pass from his teammate and sprinted down the court the apparent wrong way for what appeared to be a dunk on the incorrect basket.
If the Angels continue to fall further out of playoff contention, the questions about Shohei Ohtani’s future will only escalate.
