It’s no secret the Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow have been working on a contract extension. The quarterback on Tuesday confirmed that’s happening and added there’s a part of the negotiation that isn’t all about him.
“I’m pretty clear on what I want in the contract and what I think is best for myself and the team and we’re on the road to making that happen,” Joe Burrow told reporters.
“I’m involved,” Burrow admitted. “And that’s in the works. That’s not really something I’d like to play out in the media.

On the court, LeBron James is seen as one of the most dominant figures and biggest personalities in basketball. But as a dad, he appears to be hands off.
James’s son, Bronny, has committed to USC as a four-star prospect and fans may naturally assume the celebrity dad would be incredibly involved in the process. After all, the four-time MVP has repeatedly stated he wants to play with Bronny in the NBA. But according to Trojans coach Andy Enfield, LeBron and his wife Savannah are not helicopter parents by any means.
A year after his retirement, one of college basketball’s giants will be enshrined in its Hall of Fame.
Longtime Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski leads the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2023, the Kansas City-based museum announced Tuesday morning. Krzyzewski, 76, is the winningest coach in the history of Division I men’s college basketball.
He will be joined in the Hall by former North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough, former Blue Devils guard Johnny Dawkins, legendary scout Tom Konchalski and Division II coaching great Herb Magee.
He also sounds like every oldhead ever.
We all know that older guy at the barbershop, or at every family function, who says “(insert sport here) isn’t as good as it used to be because the players don’t care as much.” Usually it’s met with an eye roll and an “ok man,” but sometimes it has some validity.
Especially when it comes from an NBA player such as DeMar DeRozan.
While appearing on an episode of Podcast P with Paul George, DeRozan had a few things to say about today’s NBA.

Former Olympic cyclist Inga Thompson offered a scathing rebuke of trans athletes competing against biological women during an appearance on OutKick’s Don’t @ Me With Dan Dakich.
Thompson competed at the 1984, 1988, and 1992 Summer Olympics. More recently, she has spoken out against Union Cycliste Internationale’s (UCI) transgender participation policy.
Dan Dakich asked the three-time Olympian what it is that makes people so scared to speak out against biological men competing against women.
Nick Kyrgios will miss his second Grand Slam tournament of the season as he decided to pull out of the 2023 French Open less than a week before the event gets underway.
Kyrgios didn’t play in his home country’s Australian Open in January after he suffered a knee injury, which later resulted in him undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. He was originally expected to only miss around three-to-four weeks, but he still hasn’t returned to action nearly four months after the procedure.
It’s unknown when the 28-year-old expects to return to the court.
The WNBA announced on Tuesday that Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon will be suspended two games without pay for violating league and team ‘Respect in the Workplace’ policies in regard to Dearica Hamby. In addition, the Aces will lose their first round pick in 2025.
Hamby, a two-time WNBA All-Star, was traded from Vegas to Los Angeles at the end of January. Not long thereafter, she took to Instagram with claims of mistreatment surrounding her second pregnancy.
When Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, committed to USC, the expectation was that he’d play a key role in the backcourt for his new coach Andy Enfield.
With the Trojans returning minimal depth at guard, there will certainly be an opportunity for James to play early in his career at Southern Cal.
As far as what James’s role will be with the Trojans, Enfield won’t limit what his freshman star will or won’t be able to do, he told ESPN.
“All our guards have a great opportunity to play for us because we don’t have a ton of guards,” Enfield said.
Stephen A. Smith jumped into the drama between Ben Simmons and the 76ers after Philadelphia’s Game 7 debacle over the weekend.
Simmons stirred the pot Sunday by posting a picture on his Instagram story with a glass of red wine and the Sixers’ blowout loss on the television in the background, which many took as a shot at Philadelphia.
Smith was having none of it on his podcast this week, tearing into the current Nets forward for criticizing “the team you quit on.
Iowa football fans who enjoy crushing beers can now drink and help the Hawkeyes.
NIL collectives are the name of the game these days in college sports. Players have more freedom of movement than ever before, and chasing a bag of money is the new normal.
That means programs and collectives have to figure out how to raise serious money to land and keep star players.
Well, Iowa’s NIL collective – The Swarm Collective – has teamed up with a beer brand to launch a custom drink.
