Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets received their 2023 NBA Finals rings during a ceremony ahead of their season-opening clash against the Lakers on Tuesday night. 
Jokić, the MVP of the five-game Finals series against the Heat, was the last to take to the court to receive his ring. He was introduced as Denver’s “Man in the Middle” and greeted NBA commissioner Adam Silver with a hug before being presented with his ring. 
Denver’s rings were spectacular, and the team’s social media accounts shared an epic video which showcased them in greater detail.

Probably not. But, you clicked! Hooray! Just kidding, sort of. Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager/ president of operations/football czar Jerry Jones made an interesting comment during his weekly media session on Tuesday. He praised Vikings QB Kirk Cousins and seemed to denigrate his own QB, Dak Prescott.
The San Francisco 49ers lambasted the Cowboys in Week 5, 42-10. That win moved the 49ers to 5-0 on the season. Before that result, Jones called San Francisco “the most likely team to go win the Super Bowl.” After it, he surely felt stronger about that opinion.

Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons shocked NFL fans when he picked the Eagles as the best team in the NFL on his podcast The Edge on Tuesday.
The Eagles, who co-own the NFL’s best record (6-1) with the Chiefs, are fresh off a dominant win over Miami.
“No. 1 would have to be the Philadelphia Eagles,” said Parsons.
The two-time Pro Bowl standout highlighted the unstoppable “Tush Push” as well as star offensive talent as the reasons why Philadelphia lands as his top-ranked team.
“Nobody has stopped the tush push yet. DeVonta Smith could be, while A.J. Brown is a No.

If you’re not a Chris “Mad Dog” Russo fan, then you’re an Arizona Diamondbacks fan. Because D-backs manager Torey Lovullo is planning to send the longtime sports radio host to an early retirement.
On Monday — prior to Game 6 of the NLCS — Russo said he would retire “on the spot” from his XM Radio show if the Diamondbacks advanced to the World Series.
“To make a long story short, I’ve been wrong on Arizona from Day 1,” Russo said on his show.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick just likes messing with everyone’s head, right? How else does one explain signing Malik Cunningham off the practice squad to a three-year contract just to cut him less than two weeks later?
Well, that’s what happened on Tuesday.

The #Patriots waived QB/WR Malik Cunningham.

Just 10 days ago, I wrote about the oddity of signing a practice-squad quarterback to a three-year deal.
