Dan Campbell has high praise for quarterback Jared Goff — even comparing him to a future Hall of Famer, Drew Brees.
Campbell spent five years on the New Orleans Saints’ coaching staff when Brees was there. Now, as the head coach of the Detroit Lions, Campbell sees similarities in Goff.

The Seahawks are trading linebacker Jerome Baker and a fourth-round pick to the Titans for linebacker Ernest Jones IV, a source told ESPN.

The NHL‘s inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off is a few months away, and now we’re getting our first taste of what players will wear when they hit the ice in the NHL’s first international best-on-best tournament since the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
The 4 Nations Face-Off will pit teams of NHLers representing the US, Canada, Sweden, and Finland (sorry, reigning IIHF World Champions Czechia; there had to be a cut–off somewhere) and it’ll replace the All-Star game this season.
The NHLPA tweeted an image to promote tickets to the event — which will take place Feb.

Dallas allows fans to rub elbows with players in a way not common among the 31 other NFL teams. Some players believe tours get in the way of championship-building.

The world has changed quite a bit since AJ McCarron led Alabama football to a national championship in 2012. Nick Saban is no longer the head coach of the Crimson Tide, players are being paid (over the table), and social media absolutely dominates the lives of today’s generation of college athletes. 
It’s no secret that things are different now, which is exactly what McCarron was explaining during a recent episode of ‘McCready and Siskey,’ only he went a bit more scorched-earth with his explanation of how today’s era is different, and not in a good way.

Derrick White’s emergence into one of the league’s best role players helped push the Celtics to a championship last year.

There’s been some public squabbling between current New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo and former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. And Devin McCourty is asking the age old question: Can’t we all just get along?
“I hate to see the way that when Mayo speaks, it kind of… gets turned into, ‘Well he’s kind of taking a shot at Bill.’ Bill speaks, he’s kind of taking a shot at Mayo,” McCourty told Pro Football Talk. “These two — we used to call Jerod, ‘Jerod Belichick.

There is only one explanation for the embarrassing beatdown the Boston Celtics handed the New York Knicks on Tuesday night: performance-enhancing drugs.
At least that’s what Knicks guard Josh Hart is going with.
While plenty in the NBA world predicted the Celtics to come out of the gates a bit sluggish to begin the new season fresh off of winning the title, Boston came out of the gates on fire against a new-look New York team.
