We’re on Day 73 in our countdown to the New Orleans Saints‘ 2025 regular season opener, and our pick for the Saints Play of the Day is this 73-yard run from Craig Heyward. “Iron Head” was known for his hard running and gutsy first down conversions, but not so much for the big plays. So this stands out as one of the brighter highlights of his storied NFL career.
The Saints had scored first against the Los Angeles Raiders with a 51-yard Morten Andersen field goal, but the Raiders retook the lead with an 85-yard touchdown pass of their own.

Its Thursday, June 26 and the Blue Jays (42-37) are in Cleveland to take on the Guardians (40-38) this afternoon.
Kevin Gausman is slated to take the mound for Toronto against Tanner Bibee for Cleveland.
These teams have split the first two games of the series with Cleveland winning last night, 5-4 in ten innings. Nic Enright pitched a scoreless tenth for the Guardians and Jose Ramirez drove in the winning run for Cleveland’s 40th win of the season.
Lets dive into the series finale and find a sweat or two.
Some seasons see it all go right, and some seasons see it all go wrong. The ball can bounce your way all the time, but it can be unforgiving in just as many ways. The truth likely lies somewhere in the middle.
But what if it did all go right? Or all wrong? What would that look like for the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2025? CBS Sports looked into the Big Ten and analyzed what each team’s floor and ceiling could be this upcoming fall.
For the Hawkeyes, they have one of the widest variances in the Big Ten conference of just how good the best case could be and just how bad the worst case could be.
Buffalo Bills fandom has spread rapidly around the country in recent years, and especially in the Josh Allen era. The “Bills Mafia” have created backers bars in most corners of the country and they have even gone international.
The team’s fans travel better than most if not all other teams, and because of this they were voted as the best fanbase in the NFL in 2020. Some have even considered the Bills to be America’s team.
The red, white, and blue colors of the Bills can be spotted anywhere at anytime. Restaurants, airports, shopping malls, you name it.
On this day in Boston Celtics history, the Boston Celtics selected two players of note in the 2014 NBA draft, held in Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The first was 6-foot-3 guard Marcus Smart out of Oklahoma State University, taken with the sixth overall pick of the draft. A native of Flower Mound, Texas, Smart fit in well and would make the 2014-15 All-Rookie Second Team in his inaugural season with the Celtics.
Smart’s brand of intense, all-out attack frequently saw the former Cowboy banged up with a litany of minor injuries.
Max Aarons has joined Rangers on loan from Bournemouth [PA Media]
In 2020, Max Aarons’ manager at Norwich City, Daniel Farke, said he wouldn’t sell him – even for £100m.
Not so long ago, Russell Martin’s first signing as Rangers boss was one of English football’s hot prospects. There was even talk of Barcelona interest in the Englishman.
Three years later, the full-back was sold to Bournemouth for £7m.
Now he’s out on loan from the English Premier League side for a second time, having spent the latter part of last season at Valencia.
The Detroit Red Wings are preparing for the 2025 NHL Draft, with general manager Steve Yzerman looking to build out the franchise’s future after a disappointing 2024-25 season.
The Red Wings have the No. 13 overall pick in the first round of the draft, which will take place on Friday, June 27, at 7 p.m. ET.
One factor Yzerman will have to consider while planning out his team’s draft strategy is who the Red Wings drafted in 2024 and how their futures have projected over the past year.
There are 73 day separating today and the 2025 regular season opener for the New Orleans Saints. The Saints and new head coach Kellen Moore will host the Arizona Cardinals to kick off their 59th NFL campaign after a 5-12 finish last year. Currently wearing No. 73 for New Orleans is Easton Kilty, an undrafted rookie offensive lineman. Kilty is attempting to become the 12th player in Saints history to wear No. 73 during the regular season, a list highlighted by standouts like Jahri Evans and Frank Warren.

How do you start a professional football team from nothing?
For at least some of the answers to that question, try contacting former Norwich, Luton and Swansea midfielder Adrian Forbes at his base in Texas.
It was just over a year ago that the 46-year-old left a coaching job at Luton’s academy to become sporting director of a start-up club in the USA with no players.
Around 1,000 fans were on hand when England played one of the very first matches of the inaugural Women’s European Championship in 1984.
How things have changed.
More than half a million tickets have already been sold for the 31 matches of this year’s edition of the tournament, which kicks off next week in Switzerland.
Organizers expect to break the attendance record of 575,000 set at the previous women’s euros in England in 2022 when 87,000 people packed into Wembley Stadium for the final.
