It’s been well over a decade since Reggie Bush forfeited his 2005 Heisman Trophy, but the former USC running back is re-igniting the fight to get it back as he’s set to file a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA.
According to a statement from Bush’s lawyers, the suit is based on the NCAA “maliciously attacking his character.”
“The lawsuit is based on the NCAA maliciously attacking his character through a completely false and highly offensive statement that was widely reported in the media and substantially and irreparably damaged his reputation,” the statement read.

As a reporter, you come to dislike clichés. But I caught myself saying one after staring at the lake next to the Seahawks’ training camp site.
I told myself that life was good after realizing I’m in Renton, Wash., many miles away from home, waiting for an interview with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll during my first NFL training camp tour. Nine teams, five states—and thousands of stories to get to this point.
Sometimes you gotta stop and smell the roses. O.K., enough with the clichés.
I learned plenty about the nine teams I visited this summer and had a blast doing it.

Over the course of his major league career, former pitcher Dan Haren played for eight different teams over 13 years. But it’s his three-year stint with the Angels that’s given him an association with two generational talents in Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout.
It also allowed Haren the opportunity to reach out to the pair for some much-desired autographs. Unfortunately for the three-time All-Star, his attempts to snag some signed jerseys have not quite panned out.

The 23rd team on my personal camp trail is the NFC Champion Eagles. I saw them Tuesday at a joint practice with the Colts. And they didn’t disappoint …

The No. 9 overall pick’s combination of strength and quickness is rare, to be sure. But it’s not like that was a secret before the draft—everyone knew how good he was.

The Chicago White Sox may not have spent as much money as the New York teams or the San Diego Padres. But they’ve been nearly as disappointing.
On the field, the White Sox have been one of baseball’s worst teams. They were effectively eliminated from playoff contention within a few weeks, stumbling to a 49-76 record in late August.
Unsurprisingly, the team sold their few valuable players at the trading deadline, with Lance Lynn sent to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Lucas Giolito traded to Anaheim, and Keynan Middleton to the Yankees.

Two-time league MVP A’ja Wilson has had no shortage of memorable nights during her professional career. But she’s never had a performance like the one she turned in on Tuesday against the Dream.
Wilson poured in 53 points to tie the league’s single-game scoring record, leading the Aces to a 112–100 victory. Her scoring outburst tied the mark set by Liz Cambage in 2018.
Wilson was a master of efficiency on Tuesday, hitting on 16 of 23 shot attempts while going a blistering 20-for-21 on free throw attempts.
