A’ja Wilson and Aliyah Boston, who had legendary careers at South Carolina, will start the WNBA All-Star Game together with pride in where they came from.

Former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers had a prolific 17-year career on the gridiron, and now, he’ll have yet another child with a shot to follow in his footsteps.
Rivers announced on Thursday that he and his wife Tiffany are expecting their 10th child together, via AL.com.
The Rivers family currently consists of nine kids (seven daughters and two sons) ranging from four years old to 21. The newest addition to the ever-growing progeny of the eight-time Pro Bowler will be a boy, Rodgers said.
“We are all fired up,” Rivers said, via AL.com. “Everyone was pulling for a boy.

Aaron Rodgers has rarely been shy when placed in front of the TV cameras.
On Thursday, while participating in the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe, the Jets quarterback was approached by KPIX’s Dennis O’Donnell about the recent news of his new team being selected to appear on HBO’s Hard Knocks.
The four-time league MVP said understood the rationale behind the decision to select Gang Green to follow for the popular documentary series.

The Heat continue to come up as the top landing spot for a Damian Lillard trade this offseason as both sides seem to want a trade to work out.
Even though most people have thought Miami makes the most sense for Lillard, former NBA star Paul Pierce has different thoughts.
On this week’s episode of What’s Burnin’ with Rachel Nichols on Showtime Basketball, former NBA star Tracy McGrady offered his opinion as to why Lillard joining Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo seems like a good fit. Pierce quickly jumped in and offered his shocking take.

Petrillo — born Fabrizio Petrillo — ran in a category reserved for visually impaired competitors. The handicapped competitors were assisted on the track at Chartley Stadium by male assistants.
