Everyone knows that Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos has some stellar hands.
However, we usually say that after he pulls off a deke or blisters a shot from the faceoff dot on the power play during an NHL game. Not after he catches a pass at an NFL practice.
The man they call Stammer and some of his Lightning teammates were at a recent Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice, and he got to haul in a few passes.
To put it accurately, he caught more than a few passes and did it while holding an armful of pigskin.

The Atlanta Braves have the best record in Major League Baseball and they also have one of the best pitchers in the game in Spencer Strider. 
The right-hander leads the league in strikeouts with 245 and picked up his 16th win (with just four losses) Thursday night in a showdown with the National League’s second best team – the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Chiefs enter the 2023 season without their best defensive player, as Chris Jones remains away from the team while seeking a contract extension. At first, Jones’s holdout seemed like a typical training camp issue, but with Week 1 on the horizon, the defensive lineman’s teammates are getting worried.

“Chris, can you please come back? You’re really scaring me, man. I don’t get it,” Kelce said.

Shanahan addressed Garoppolo calling things “weird” by saying he agreed. Then he immediately backtracked, saying it wasn’t weird but was “unusual,” which is a synonym for weird.

When the Steelers were founded in 1933, mankind had not yet been to outer space, and wouldn’t get there for another 28 years.
Who could have predicted, then, that Pittsburgh would one day become the Milky Way’s team?
On Thursday night—10 days before the Steelers’ season opener against the 49ers—NASA engineer and astronaut Warren “Woody” Hoburg tweeted a tribute to his favorite team from the International Space Station.
“If you’re wondering whether this yinzer brought a Terrible Towel to space, the answer is yes,” Hoburg tweeted to his 16,000 followers.

It’s hard to stay focused when you’re deep into fantasy football drafts. Jorge Martin reveals his favorite late-round targets.

Three Cavaliers players were shot and killed by a then-UVA student last year. Their former teammates return to the field for the first time since the tragedy Saturday, when they take on No. 12 Tennessee (noon ET on ABC).

Amid the news of Cal, Stanford and SMU joining the ACC effective in 2024, American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco said Friday that his league is no longer considering westward expansion.
That statement, of course, eliminates Washington State and Oregon State from consideration for the conference, at least for now.
So what are the options for Cougars and the Beavers as the Pac-12 disintegrates before their eyes?
