The Dolphins could open the 2024 NFL season in Brazil, according to a report from ESPN’s John Sutcliffe.
The trip to Brazil would be the second overseas game that Miami has played in as many seasons. The Dolphins lost to the Chiefs 21–14 in a regular-season contest in Frankfurt, Germany earlier this season.
Sutcliffe said that the NFL is “analyzing” the possibility of playing a regular season game next season at Neo Quimica Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want to hear the Zach Wilson slander.
The four-time NFL MVP stood up for his embattled teammate Tuesday during an appearance on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show and blasted anonymous sources cited in a Monday report by Dianna Russini of The Athletic.
Those sources told Russini that Zach Wilson is “reluctant” to return to the field for the Jets, and Rodgers strongly suggested there is no place in a “winning culture” for such leaks to the media and questioned the motivation to harm a teammate’s reputation.
Jordan Love’s first season as the Packers starting quarterback has had its ups and downs.
Although Green Bay started 3–6, Love has led the Packers to a three-game winning streak, including the most recent win over the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs on Sunday night.
Former Packers starter Aaron Rodgers is not at all surprised by Love’s recent strong performances. Speaking with The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, Rodgers urged fans and the NFL world to be patient with the young quarterback.
“No, no I’m not [surprised],” Rodgers said.
The in-season tournament, which will make its way to Las Vegas on Thursday, was made for a team like the Pacers—a franchise desperate for any success after nine straight seasons ending without a playoff appearance or an exit in the first round. Think the IST isn’t meaningful? Watch the second half of the Pacers’ quarterfinals win over the Celtics on Monday, when an energized Indiana team erased a seven-point halftime deficit to score a double-digit win, 122–112, over a team that, weeks earlier, beat them by 51 points.

The NCAA’s plan to let the richest schools govern themselves would create a football “super league”
On Tuesday, NCAA President Charlie Baker proposed a radical change to college sports, a new direction that would fundamentally alter the structure of amateur athletics permanently.
Baker’s progressive proposal would finally allow colleges to pay student-athletes directly, rather than through shady back channels and second-hand Name-Image-Likeness deals.
Warriors forward Draymond Green is one of the most passionate and unapologetic players in today’s NBA.
Green’s on-court stunts have cost him money, missed games and a laundry list of ejections. However, in a recent episode of the Gils Arena podcast with former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, former Pistons player Rasheed Wallace revealed he feels somewhat responsible for Green’s behavior.
The Celtics could be looking to add to their roster sooner than later.
Still sitting alone atop the Eastern Conference standings at 15-5, Boston was denied a trip to Las Vegas for the in-season tournament semifinals in a 122-112 loss to the Pacers on Monday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The loss poked a few holes in the Celtics’ rotation, and one NBA insider believes the team will be looking to bulk up their depth in the coming months.

Tyrese Haliburton is melding the past and present of point guard play to emerge as a new kind of NBA superstar.
The fabled idea of the ‘true point guard’ has been under attack in today’s NBA. The traditional floor general as epitomized by the lineage of Isiah Thomas to John Stockton to Steve Nash to Chris Paul met its maker in the throes of the league’s three-point revolution, when an emphasis on oversized primary creators and switchable defenders rendered the “pure point” as more of a modern anomaly than an industry standard.
The Tampa Bay Lightning made short work of the Dallas Stars on Monday night, with a 4-0 win in a rematch of the 2020 Stanley Cup Final. Nothing about the game stank, especially not netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy and his 25-save shutout.
Still, during the goalie’s post-game chat with reporters, someone probably should have cracked a window or got a fan going…
The two teams played each other again on Saturday, and in that one, the Stars wound up on top by a score of 8-1. Vasilevskiy faced 25 shots that game as well, only he gave up 6 goals and was pulled.
Confession time: As I watched Trevor Lawrence hobble off the field Monday, after going through the various stages of grief for the player and the position, after performing remote, restorative witchcraft rituals of healing so as to avoid a playoff matchup between C.J. Beathard (no offense) and Mitch Trubisky, there was a section of my brain that turned to the great quarterback savior.
