James Harden bluntly ripped 76ers president Daryl Morey on Monday when asked about a recent ESPN report that the team has stopped looking to trade him after failing to find an acceptable deal.
“Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be part of an organization that he’s a part of,” Harden said while in Beijing. “Let me say that again. Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of in the NBA.

The Big Ten reportedly is interested in playing its conference title football games in Las Vegas.
USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington all join the conference starting in 2023, and the B1G will have a huge West Coast presence by this time next year.
That means major changes are coming. One of them might be moving the conference title game from Indianapolis to Sin City.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported early talks are underway between city officials and the Big Ten about possibly bringing the title game out west.

Of the most encouraging performances of the weekend, Derek Carr’s had to be near the top of the list. This is not a rebuilding job in New Orleans. Carr, on Sunday, entered a huddle loaded with accomplished vets. The defense in New Orleans has a chance to be really good, too. And all that is indicative of where the brass there has felt they’ve been the past few years—consistent quarterback play shy of being a very real contender, with the clock ticking on a core that’s been together for more than a half decade now.

Some new rules will be in effect this college football season
The 2023 college football season is just weeks away.
The year ahead could be transformative for the sport, with conference movement, the transfer portal, and NIL deals changing the nature of college football. But those are not the only changes coming to the game. When “Week 0” kicks off at the end of August, some new rules will be in effect for the college game.
So before things get going, we thought it made sense to run through the major new rules, to get ready for the season.
There’s no need to overanalyze it—Damar Hamlin’s return to the game field Saturday was the best story of the weekend. It’s been a little more than eight months since the scariest moment most of us have seen on a football field played out in front of the nation. So that Hamlin was out there, on the field, in any capacity, is incredible.
For the record, he finished with 22 snaps played on defense, another four on special teams, and was in on three tackles, including one to stone the Colts offense on a fourth-and-1 in the first quarter.
The 49ers had just wrapped up a walkthrough at the team facility the day before their 2022 preseason opener against the Packers. Brock Purdy, at that point, was a seventh-round, third-string rookie. He wasn’t even backing up Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo yet, with Garoppolo exiled to a side field as the team worked to trade him. It was actually Lance and Nate Sudfeld he was behind. As such, shots to show what he had came few and far between.
Yet, Purdy managed to figure out he was making an impression.
Enes Kanter Freedom recently floated possibly as identifying as a woman to dominate the WNBA in order to prove a point.
Men identifying as women and destroying women’s sports has become a major topic in America over the past few years.
It appeared Lia Thomas, a biological man, destroying women in the pool pushed things to a breaking point, and it’s been off to the races ever since.
Now, the former Celtics center thinks putting on a wig and destroying the WNBA might finally bring enough outrage to end the nonsense.

Tempers flared during the Texans’ latest training camp session, with a small fight reportedly breaking out along the sideline.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans was asked by reporters about the scuffle at camp, and he weighed in with a fiery response, indicating he was pleased to see that level of intensity from his players.
“To see scuffling in training camp, I would say: finally,” Ryans said to reporters, via NBC Sports. “We actually see some guys—that’s what training camp is about.
Calls for robot umpires grew a bit louder on Sunday after a controversial strikeout call on Alec Bohm during the Phillies’ clash against the Twins.
Bohm came to the plate facing a full count with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, a crucial spot for Philadelphia, who trailed 2–0 at the time.
The payoff pitch from lefty Caleb Thielbar appeared to be well inside, and Bohm began to trot towards first base before realizing home plate umpire Alex Mackay had rung him up on strikes.
