The good news for fans in local markets of the two teams playing the game is that those markets will have the game on a traditional network, likely NBC.

Colorado and new coach Deion Sanders are starting from the bottom in 2023. The Buffaloes overhauled virtually their entire roster after going 1–11, a record that tied their worst winning percentage in school history.
In the wake of last season’s disaster, however, Colorado’s 2023 season opener will offer nothing resembling a respite.
The Buffaloes are scheduled to begin the ’23 season with TCU in Fort Worth, Texas—a year after the Horned Frogs made the College Football Playoff, won the Fiesta Bowl and played for the national championship.
Royals pitcher Zack Greinke reached MLB royalty on Saturday when he struck out his 1,000th different batter.
Now imagine that, not merely recording 1,000 strikeouts but retiring 1,000 different MLB pros ready to send his pitches into the stratosphere … truly a feat baseball fans aren’t treated to any given day.
(NOTE: Greinke has 2,914 total career strikeouts … holy smokes.
A trip to the Western Conference finals is on the line.
Someone’s been hanging out with Aaron Rodgers too much and having his third eye open.
Pro Bowl Packer O-lineman David Bakhtiari isn’t mincing words over President Biden’s script responses.
Bakhtiari Pushes Back On Robotic U.S. President
Days after Bakhtiari and Rodgers called out California representative Dianne Feinstein, the newly “based” Bakhtiari is zeroing in on Biden amid his disastrous three-year run as president, which has been largely defined not by the strings he’s pulling as the Leader of the Free World, but for who is pulling his strings.
In his lone season at USC, six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan guided the Trojans to the program’s only conference tournament championship as a one-and-done freshman. Now, he has high hopes for the latest top-flight recruit heading to his alma mater: Bronny James.
Speaking as a guest on Clippers star Paul George’s podcast, DeRozan talked about Bronny’s commitment to the Trojans and what type of boost Bronny will bring to a program that’s long lived in the shadow of inter-city rival UCLA.

The NBA’s draft combine week got underway over the weekend with the G League Elite Camp, where NBA personnel evaluated 45 prospects on the fringes of the NBA radar hoping to work their way into draft pick consideration. In 2022, two Elite Camp participants went on to get drafted, though most players at the event are angling for two-way contract consideration (particularly given the NBA is adding a third two-way contract slot for the 2023–24 season).
After two days of athletic testing, drills and five-on-five action, here are some notes on what stood out most from the event.
