Can you imagine the NFL without Bill Belichick? Without him taking away the other team’s best weapon and keeping opposing quarterbacks awake at night? Without him growling complaints at officials and grunting answers at reporters?
Belichick has worked in the NFL every season since 1975 when he got his start as a 23-year-old special assistant for the Colts. His job back then was getting coffee and running mimeographed copies of game plans to assistant coaches.
Mimeographed copies for the Batlimore Colts.

Here are your starters for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.
It feels like the NBA gets deeper with talent every year. With only 12 spots in each conference up for grabs in the NBA All-Star game, some players and fanbases are bound to have hurt feelings. The starters for the 2024 NBA All-Star have now been announced, and the lineup features both no-brainer picks and a couple controversial decisions.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James were the leaders in the fan vote for their respective conferences once again.
LeBron James has passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for another record. This time, it’s ASG appearances. See who joins the Lakers’ star as starters in the Feb. 18 event.
Since Angel Reese missed four games in November, No. 9 LSU hasn’t deviated from its goal of running it back. But the Tigers remain a work in progress.
Jake Fischer and Dan Devine discuss the NBA coaching changes in Milwaukee and DC, discuss Team USA, reveal Dan’s All-Star selections and more.
For those who were not inside the Atlanta Falcons’ facility lobbying for Raheem Morris to get the job this week (and apparently there were plenty), the news that he is now the team’s head coach may have registered as a surprise.
Of course, Morris, the one-time young wunderkind Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach who climbed the long road back to coaching’s highest position, has deserved another crack at this job for a long time. In our 2024 coaching carousel primer this year, I asked one highly regarded offensive coach who the league’s defensive equivalent of the “hot play-caller.
Ben Simmons is nearing a return to the Brooklyn Nets amid a lengthy injury absence, and the 27-year-old could potentially be back in the lineup as early as Monday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Simmons has been dealing with a lower back nerve impingement that has kept him sidelined since Nov. 6. He’s featured in just six games for the Nets this season, but could be back on the court for Brooklyn’s tilt against the Utah Jazz on Monday, Jan. 29.
Former golfer Anthony Kim, who hasn’t played professionally in over a decade, is in discussions to return to the game for either the PGA Tour or LIV, Golf.com’s Dylan Dethier reports.
Kim first turned professional in 2006 and won three times on the PGA Tour, twice in 2008 as a 22-year-old and once in 2010. He last played in a tournament in 2012, when he withdrew from the Wells Fargo Championship due to injury.
After that, Kim disappeared from the game at the age of 26, and hasn’t appeared to show interest in returning until now at 38 years-old.
Charles Barkley is rooting for the Detroit Lions this NFL postseason mostly because of his admiration of the team’s coach, Dan Campbell.
During Barkley’s show with Gayle King on CNN titled King Charles, the NBA legend expressed his love for the Lions and Campbell to Lions fan and Michigan native, comedian Keegan-Michael Key.
“I have fell in love with the Detroit Lions,” Barkley said. “I have a man crush on Dan Campbell. I know nothing about Dan Campbell, but I’m like ‘I want to play for Dan Campbell.
Los Angeles Rams defense coordinator Raheem Morris is poised to be the next head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. The move also leaves one less option for a return to NFL coaching for the GOAT, Bill Belichick.
Atlanta finished third in the NFC South this season with a 7-10 record.
Announced Thursday, per multiple reports, Atlanta and general manager Terry Fontenot are expected to bring on Morris, formerly a head coach for the Bucs, as their next HC, succeeding Arthur Smith.
