Although disappointed in the allegations of domestic violence made against Von Miller, Bills general manager Brandon Beane stressed Wednesday that he wants the legal process to play out and not rush to making any judgments.
New owner Josh Harris could be close to calling time on Ron Rivera in Washington. Here’s why the 2023 season failed to launch, and what the implications are for the organization.
Good variety of questions in this week’s mailbag. Let’s jump into those …
From Tom Marshall (@aredzonauk): Could Matt LaFleur have a shot at coach of the year?
Tom, maybe I’m the wrong person to ask—I thought LaFleur deserved consideration in 2021, too, simply for his ability to manage the Aaron Rodgers situation. If it weren’t for his people skills, and how he bridged the sizable gap between the front office and Rodgers, I believe that things would’ve devolved quickly between the quarterback and team.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has been diagnosed with acute appendicitis and is scheduled to have surgery Wednesday afternoon, the team announced. McCarthy was experiencing abdominal pain earlier in the day that warranted further evaluation.
He is expected to be released from the hospital Wednesday and is anticipated to return before Week 14’s Sunday night game against the Eagles. Dallas’s coordinators will run practice until McCarthy returns.
The sequel is never quite as good as the original, and Marshall found that out the hard way this year.
In 2022, the Thundering Herd went 9–4 in coach Charles Huff’s first season. They also beat Notre Dame, won a bowl game and spent parts of the season within shouting distance of the AP Top 25.
In 2023, Marshall slumped to 6–6 and will back into a Frisco Bowl matchup against UTSA, the loser of six of its last eight games.
On Wednesday, the ennui of Huff’s sophomore slump was ratcheted up by one of the bluntest quotes of the 2023 season.

Adrian Meronk’s name arose to the surface of numerous LIV Golf rumors, but the Polish star put those canards to bed.
Adrian Meronk had a career season in 2023.
He recorded three wins, qualified for all four major championships for the first time, and earned his PGA Tour card by finishing fourth in the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai standings. The top 10 players in those rankings—not otherwise exempt—earned playing rights on the PGA Tour for the 2024 season.
There was no shortage of controversy late in the NBA in-season tournament matchup between the Suns and Lakers. With a trip to Las Vegas and a spot in the semifinals on the line, both teams played playoff-caliber basketball on both ends.
But with under 20 seconds remaining, things got off the rails, and Phoenix guard Devin Booker posted the best photo of the bunch thus far to ignite the team’s fan base even more.
After Booker scored to cut the Lakers’ lead to one, Austin Reaves hit a clutch three-pointer with 15.1 seconds remaining to make it a 105-101 game.
Florida State wide receiver Johnny Wilson is expected to enter the 2024 NFL draft, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Wilson, who came to FSU in 2022 after two seasons at Arizona State, quickly became one of quarterback Jordan Travis’s favorite targets. This season, Wilson finished second on the team in receptions (41), yards (617) and touchdowns (2) behind wide receiver Keon Coleman.
In the ’22 campaign, Wilson caught 43 passes for 897 yards and five touchdowns. Thamel reported that Wilson will participate in the Senior Bowl.
The USGA and R&A, two of golf’s governing bodies, officially announced on Wednesday that a game-wide golf ball rollback is coming. Starting in 2028, golf balls used by players on the PGA Tour will travel a shorter distance while the same golf balls will be implemented and enforced at the amateur level in 2030.
With these newly nerfed golf balls, long hitters who have ball speeds of 183 mph or higher will lose 13 to 15 yards with their driver.
