While it was almost a certainty that Washington owner Daniel Snyder had finally given in, and a sale of his beloved franchise was inevitable, all of the speculation and reporting on that front has hit a lull.
Initial reports hinted that a deal to sell would be reached by March. But NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell didn’t break any news regarding the outside investigation into the Washington Commanders or the potential sale of the embattled franchise at Wednesday’s Super Bowl news conference.

Tyree Appleby has played a big role in leading Wake Forest to the seventh-best record in the ACC. The Demon Deacons’ leading scorer is averaging 18.7 points per game in a team-high 36.2 minutes, leads the conference in assists, and recently dropped 35 points in a win over UNC.
In addition to his on-court success, Appleby’s last name positioned him well for a no-brainer NIL partnership with Applebee’s. It finally came to fruition this week.
Through his NIL deal with the ‘Neighborhood Grill + Bar,’ Appleby is set out to change the spelling of the restaurant.

This might be a good time to be an umbrella salesperson in Kansas City.
The forecast calls for rain mid-next week. That will not keep the masses of Chiefs Kingdom from descending downtown. The Chiefs are going to host their second Super Bowl parade in three years after they beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

There are storylines galore heading into Super Bowl 57. Here are our staff predictions for Eagles vs. Chiefs.

In a four-team trade, the defending champs parted ways with their former No. 2 pick to bolster their bench.
Amidst a flurry of trade-deadline deals on Thursday, one high-profile former top pick changed area codes: Golden State reportedly dealt James Wiseman, the No. 2 pick in the 2020 draft, to Detroit in a four-team deal that also sent Pistons forwards Saddiq Bey to Atlanta and Kevin Knox to the Blazers. The deal also reportedly sent five second-round picks from Atlanta to Golden State, which were rerouted to Portland to bring former Warriors guard Gary Payton II back to the Bay Area.

A total of 21 moves were made during the NBA’s trade season — here’s a recap of every one of them.

The NBA trade deadline brought about a flurry of activity—and a bevy of savings for the defending champs.
In a multi-team trade, the Warriors dealt former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman to the Pistons and received guard Gary Payton II in return from the Trail Blazers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

LeBron James and the Lakers got D’Angelo Russell and sent Russell Westbrook packing, but did the trade improve their title odds?

Kevin Durant to the Suns happened overnight, and things took off from there in a wild NBA trade deadline. And Yahoo Sports tracked it all.

Three other players are on the move as a result of the trade, which also included the Grizzlies.
Former No. 1 pick John Wall is headed back to the Rockets as the focal point of a three-team swap less than an hour before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Clippers are sending the veteran point guard back to his previous team. Wall played the 2020–21 season for Houston and sat out the following season while under contract to the Rockets as the team sought to trade him.
