The most recent claims of cheating only add to a series of negative headlines centered on Bidwill and his Cardinals. He’s approaching Dan Snyder territory in the world of bad team owners.
No, that’s not Dan Snyder. It’s Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill, the subject of a slew of accusations involving cheating, misdeeds and tyrannical workplace behavior.
A pair of sneakers famously worn by Michael Jordan has reset the market for athletic shoes at auction.
The NBA legend’s “Air Jordan XIII Breds” that he wore during Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals sold Tuesday through Sotheby’s auction house for $2,238,000, the highest price ever paid for a pair of sneakers at auction. The previous highest amount—$1.472 million at Sotheby’s in ’21—was spent on a pair of Nike Air Ships that are the oldest-known pair worn by Jordan during a regular-season game.
Five-star running back Justice Haynes was the No. 1 player at his position in the Class of 2023 and the No. 27 recruit overall. The Georgia-native surprisingly committed to Alabama in July and signed with the Crimson Tide during the early signing period in December.

Welcome to the third installment of a weekly mailbag that I will be writing every Tuesday about the world of sports media (and anything else you want to chime in on). Please email me any questions you have to Jimmy.Traina@si.com or send them via Twitter.
We start with an email question.
Hey, Jimmy. We all know that Inside The NBA is the best studio show, and one of the best shows period, ever. Who do you think is second to them? Even though it’s a relatively new show, I think NBA Today on ESPN is showing some real potential.
Perhaps this, at last, will be Manchester City’s year. It was seriously tested by Bayern and put under unfamiliar pressure at the back, but was able to handle it. Bayern was not. There wasn’t much in it, there were chances at both ends, but City stood firm and managed to force Bayern into mistakes and the result is that it won the first leg of its Champions League quarterfinal, 3–0.
Manchester City has looked on course for European glory before, never more so than last season when it capitulated late in the semifinal against Real Madrid.
By trading Jeff Okudah to the Falcons, the Lions shipped out a top-five draft pick just three years after selecting him. Since 2011, when the NFL instituted its rookie wage scale, teams have seldom traded first-round draft picks during their initial four-year rookie contract or fifth-year option.
When such a trade does take place, it often happens three years into a player’s career, around the time a team must decide whether to pick up the fifth-year option.
