We’re back with another freshly baked batch of OutKick’s NHL Weekly Awards!
I hope this one taste’s alright. I burned the last bath and had to start over…
We’ve got a doozy of an NHL (and college) hockey highlight harvest this week. Some fisticuffs, a freakout, and a bit of over-acting that would make modern-day Pacino say, “Jeez, real it in guy.”
We also have an old NHL Weekly Award favorite to reclaim an award that bears his name.
I’m excited, you’re excited, and your wife/girlfriend is indifferent at best: let’s hand out some awards.
A report surfaced in January that Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant had been sued after allegedly hitting a teenager in the face during a pickup basketball game outside of his home in July 2022. Now, new police reports accuse the 23-year-old of threatening the teenager with a gun after the altercation.
According to police documents, the 17-year-old teenager threw a basketball at Morant and “accidentally” hit him in the face.
Alabama linebacker Will Anderson Jr. is projected to hear his name called within the first five picks of the 2023 NFL Draft in April. The 6-foot-4, 243-pounder was a two-time consensus All-American and won the Bronko Nagurski Award, given to the best defensive player in college football, twice.
Needless to say, Anderson is a beast. He had 204 total tackles in three years, 115 of them solo, with 34.5 sacks against a gauntlet SEC schedule.
Opposing offenses had to key on Anderson even more in 2022 after his career year in 2021.
For those who think Bill Belichick is only a hard-ass coach at the NFL level, they would be very wrong. Several NFL Draft prospects discussed Belichick’s demeanor and attitude at the Shrine Bowl, and it was exactly what you’d expect.
The East-West Shrine Bowl is one of several post season bowl games designed for NFL Draft-eligible senior players. They get a chance to practice and play in front of NFL coaches and scouts.
Troy Brown, a wide receivers coach for the New England Patriots, was selected to be the head coach of the West squad.
Daniel Snyder. Jim Brown. Karl Malone. Alabama basketball. All in the news cycle lately, all for the wrong reasons, and none appear capable of feeling shame.

Texas A&M baseball began its 2023 campaign with three-straight wins over Seattle University at home, but turned around and lost three-straight. Head coach Jim Schlossnagle was not pleased with how his team played in the three losses, and also took issue with the Aggies fanbase.
A&M dropped a mid-week game to Lamar on Feb. 21, and then hosted Portland for a three-game series in College Station. The Pilots won on Friday and Saturday to take the series, and nearly pulled out the sweep before getting walked off 5-4 on Sunday.
The Philadelphia Eagles have submitted a proposal to the NFL to let players pick the number 0 for their uniforms.
NFL uniform regulations have generally been fairly strict on what numbers players are allowed to wear.
Typically, numbers are broken down by position. The league just recently allowed non-quarterbacks, kickers or punters to choose single digit numbers.
But according to a new report from The Athletic, the Eagles specifically asked to allow players to choose number 0.
College players have been able to wear 0 for several years, with a number of players choosing the new number.

What does Aaron Rodgers do next?
Aaron Rodgers emerged from the darkness and saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of bullshit. The Packers quarterback has promised not to drag out his decision for 2023, but didn’t offer any kind of indication on when, or how that would come.
Rodgers did what he tends to do in these situations: Appear on a podcast, and wants people who don’t like how his handling this to just “tune it out.”
“There’s a finality to the decision. I don’t make it lightly. I don’t want to drag anybody around.
