Davonte Pack, a close friend of Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, has been arrested in connection with a July 26, 2022, incident at Morant’s house that has been the subject of civil litigation involving the two-time All-Star.
Pack, 24, was booked into Shelby County Jail on Wednesday on charges of misdemeanor assault.
Joshua Holloway, now 18, filed a lawsuit against Morant when he was 17, describing the NBA player and Pack of having struck him during a pickup game in Eads, an unincorporated Memphis suburb.

Has Georgia taken over Alabama’s mantle as the best program in college football? For the first time in a while, that’s a real question.

NASHVILLE — Billy Napier is 1-0 against the University of Utah as the head football coach at the University of Florida. The Gators hosted the Utes in Gainesville last season and mounted an impressive comeback to begin his first year with a win.

Florida Shocks Utah In ‘The Swamp’ As The Billy Napier Era Starts With A Bang

Now, in year two, Napier and Florida are tasked with repeating their performance from a season prior. And they will have to do so on the road.
First and foremost, playing Utah is no easy task.

Sanders said the surgery was to address a clot in his right leg after a June procedure removed clots in his left leg.

This is a big season for Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. There are high expectations on the team and on him. The biggest factor on whether or not the team competes this season is if Tagovailoa can stay healthy.
Since taking over as the team’s starting QB midway through his rookie season, Tagovailoa has missed nine games due to injury. He suffered injuries in the first half of two games, missing the second half. That’s, essentially, ten missed games in 44 opportunities. Not ideal.
All of that must take its toll on Tagovailoa, who obviously wants to play and play well.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution did not fully retract a recent, critical story about the University of Georgia football program’s handling of sexual abuse allegations against its players.
But it fired experienced, two-time Pulitzer Prize nominated investigative reporter Alan Judd, who wrote it, the AJC said Wednesday.
The newspaper’s editors and attorneys reviewed the story of June 27 after a nine-page letter by Georgia chief counsel Michael M. Raeber on July 11 demanded the article be fully retracted.

The 10th-ranked heavyweight began his UFC career 4-5, but has won seven of his last eight. The difference, he says, is experience and understanding what it takes to win at the highest level.

Running backs and running the ball are still a tremendously important part of football and that isn’t going to change.

The Open at Royal Liverpool will be Wyndham Clark’s first major championship since he became a major winner four weeks ago after finding the winner’s circle at the U.S. Open. While his resume, life, and bank account have certainly changed between then and now, he’s determined to not let it change him as a person.
He’s so set on staying true to his pre-major-champion self, in fact, that he jokingly opened the door for someone to punch him in the face if he changes.
“If it does, I hope someone punches me in the face and says, get back to who you were,” Clark said.

Nick Saban says he likes carrot cake, which proves that every man has flaws. He revealed this vital information in discussing the need to “let the cake bake” with his Alabama quarterbacks, waiting for someone to assert himself as the starter at that position during preseason camp.
The larger baking question is whether Saban’s personal cake is overdone. This season will be a crucial oven check in Tuscaloosa: Is the era of dominance over for the greatest coach in college football history?
Nothing lasts forever, not even Nick Saban.
