O’Neal explained that he saw David Robinson and Hakeem Olajuwon as his rivals in the 1990s. And he eventually came to realize that he wasn’t on their level.

In order for Watt to play next week, he must be cleared by both the team and an independent neurologist. Because the Steelers have 10 days in between games, Watt will have more time to recover than he normally would in this scenario.

After the Phoenix Suns beat the Golden State Warriors in the desert a couple weeks ago, Steve Kerr used a question about defensive communication to complain about the loud techno music constantly played throughout Phoenix’s home arena.
“In this building, you can’t hear anything because it’s like a club,” Kerr said at his post-game press conference. “It’s like a South Beach club out there. What are we doing? I’m being dead serious. I couldn’t hear anything. It’s thumping techno club music.
It was a shame to see Major League Baseball fans salivating on social media Friday afternoon thinking Shohei Ohtani was on a flight for Toronto. It’s okay MLB fans, we’ll give you a pass on this one, but if you wanted the job done, all you had to do was ask college football fans.

If you want to find out who a college athletic director is potentially interviewing for a head coaching position, follow that school’s fanbase on social media.
ESPN tennis analyst Chris Evert announced she is stepping away from her work at the network due to a recurrence of ovarian cancer. She first was diagnosed with cancer in December 2021.
“While this is a diagnosis I never wanted to hear, I once again feel fortunate that it was caught early,” Evert said in a statement through ESPN. “Based on a PET CT scan, I underwent another robotic surgery this past week. Doctors found cancer cells in the same pelvic region. All cells were removed, and I have begun another round of chemotherapy.
MLB Network reporter Jon Morosi issued an apology late Friday night for reporting inaccurate information regarding Shohei Ohtani’s free agency.
“Today, I posted reporting that included inaccurate information that Shohei Ohtani was traveling to Toronto,” Morosi wrote on social media. “I regret the mistake and apologize to baseball fans everywhere. I am deeply sorry for letting you down.”
Morosi reported Friday morning that Ohtani was close to making a decision on where he will sign and that his signing later that day was a distinct possibility.
Don’t look now, but the San Antonio Spurs led by their head coach Gregg Popovich have lost SIXTEEN games in a row and honestly I’ve never rooted so hard for a team to keep coming up short.
At just 3-18, the Spurs now have their worst start through 21 games ever in the history of the franchise, while the 16-game losing streak has tied a Spurs record as well.
Normally I wouldn’t really care about the Spurs or ever wish a team to lose, but these aren’t normal times as Gregg Popovich has proven to us time and time again.
