The former New England standout has a bold proposal for the team.
Most NFL teams can use a talent like DeAndre Hopkins on the outside. With the Cardinals standout reportedly available on the trade block, former Patriots star Rob Gronkowski believes his old team is the perfect spot for the five-time All-Pro.
The Patriots’ offense sputtered in 2022, with Jakobi Meyers leading the way for the club in receiving yards (804) and touchdowns (six).

With a loss to Rutgers in Big Ten action, the Wolverines have tumbled out of contention for the NCAA tournament and will likely miss it for the first time in eight years.
Michigan entered the Big Ten tournament likely needing two wins to make a last-second push into the NCAA tournament. It exited without even getting one.
The Wolverines dropped what amounted to a must-win game against Rutgers on Thursday, getting outworked by the Big Ten’s most blue-collar program and in the process sealing their fate as an NIT team.

Thursday’s college basketball slate is stacked, as many major men’s conference tournaments begin.

UConn Huskies’ Andre Jackson Jr. flew to the rim over and dunked on the Providence Friars to extend the first half lead.

Cal has parted ways with men’s basketball coach Mark Fox following the team’s loss to Washington State in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament.

New England is expected to continue building around third-year quarterback Mac Jones.
Add the Patriots to the list of teams who will reportedly pass on a pursuit of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
According to Mark Daniels of Mass Live, the Patriots “aren’t expected to pursue” Jackson during free agency. 
This signals that New England is comfortable continuing to build around third-year quarterback Mac Jones with new offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien.

Pouncey signed a one-day contract on Thursday to retire a Dolphin, and looked a bit different than he did in his playing days.
During his time USC’s interim head coach in 2013, Ed Orgeron once remarked on the psyche of his offensive linemen as it relates to the team’s snack offerings: “Feed a lineman a cookie, he’s happy.” It appears that former Pro Bowl lineman Mike Pouncey embodied that sentiment.

It has served as the home venue for the Orioles since 1992.
The Orioles have been taking the naming rights to Camden Yards to market this year, according to a report from Terry Lefton of Sports Business Journal.
The nameplate for Camden Yards will reportedly apply to the field only, not Camden Yards in its entirety. Lefton notes in the report that this has been done frequently in the NFL, with Empower Field at Mile High in Denver and GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City being the two notable examples.

John Ruiz wants to be very clear that he is not a booster by NCAA definition. That notion will be very important should he choose to take legal action against the college sports governing body, as he is threatening to do.
Ruiz, an NIL sponsor for the University of Miami, bankrolls a large number of athletes on multiple teams through his companies LifeWallet and Cigarette Racing. The billionaire businessman set aside more than $10 million in funds for NIL deals alone and focuses most of his attention on the Hurricanes.
Among the athletes that are on his payroll are Haley and Hanna Cavinder.
