The sharpshooting wing is ending the year superbly to cap off an impressive second season.
Corey Kispert began the 2022-23 NBA season glued to the bench. As the Washington Wizards meandered out to a 4-4 start, Kispert didn’t record a single minute. He finally saw the court in a 42-point loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 4 and missed all 6 of his shots. Two days later, Kispert earned a starting nod. He’s played every game since and only logged fewer than 15 minutes twice.
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles is thrilled about his opportunity to work with Baker Mayfield as Tampa Bay revamps its roster and prepares for a 2023 NFL season that will not include seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady under center.
When Mayfield signed his one-year deal with the franchise in March, it marked a new start for the former 2017 Heisman Trophy winner. However, it was not his first interaction with Bowles, who spoke with Mayfield at Oklahoma ahead of the ’18 NFL draft.
Most men’s college basketball observers, asked to compile a list of the sport’s blue bloods, would include Kentucky. They might even start the list with the eight-time national champion Wildcats.
Most. But not all.
Count ESPN analyst and former Duke guard Jay Williams, the 2002 Wooden Award winner, among those low on Kentucky as Connecticut’s national championship has sparked a discussion of which programs qualify for the most exclusive club in college hoops.
Fred Riley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters, could throw a lifeline to LIV Golf … or not … with a simple tweak of its qualification criteria.
Three weeks until the draft. Let’s see what you guys had for me …
From OneKumar NFL (@OneKumar_NFL): LJ to the Patriots with Max Jones on the rocks?
From Rizzy (@ImK1utch): What is going on with the Mac Jones situation with Belichick, and what are trade packages for him like?
Mac Jones, you mean, Kumar? Yeah, I still tend to doubt it. But that has more to do with Lamar Jackson’s price than any sort of feeling that Mac is affirmed as the Patriots’ future.
The Green Bay Packers are apparently doing some due diligence on former Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker.
For the first time since the start of the 2008 season, the Packers don’t have a locked in QB1 during the offseason.
Aaron Rodgers wants to be traded to the Jets and the belief is Jordan Love will be QB1 when next season starts. However, none of that is guaranteed. As of this moment, Aaron Rodgers is still very much on Green Bay’s roster.
However, if he does get shipped to the Jets, Love becomes the team’s immediate QB1. However, Green Bay might also have sights set on a former SEC star.

Why aren’t the Falcons trading for Lamar Jackson?
From the moment the Ravens signed QB Lamar Jackson to a non-exclusive franchise tag, many in the public seemed to think that Atlanta was the next destination for the former MVP. Ample receiving targets, a whole lot of cap space, and most importantly, a need at QB.
James Madison has had an up-and-down start to the 2023 college baseball season, but won its 17th game of the year behind a huge day from Jaylon Lee. The graduate transfer went yard not once, but twice, and they were both moonshots.
While the sheer power behind the dingers was one thing, the announcer’s calls stole the spotlight. The first was electric, the second was demoralizingly dull.
Lee’s first home run of the afternoon went way deep on a 1-2 pitch in the top of the third inning. He got every last inch and sent it sailing over the left centerfield wall.
For anyone who thinks that “wrestling is fake,” Finn Balor would like to have a word with you.
The former WWE Universal Champion was involved in a “Hell in a Cell,” match this past weekend at WrestleMania 39 and let’s just say, as the name suggests – it wasn’t exactly pleasant.
