Several NFL reporters say the New York Jets have hired Nathaniel Hackett to be their new offensive coordinator, replacing Mike LaFleur.
Hackett served as the Denver Broncos head coach for just 15 games before being fired by the team. Prior to Denver, Hackett served as the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers from 2019-21.
When the Broncos hired Hackett, many believed the goal was to have him bring Aaron Rodgers with him.
Nathaniel Hackett and Aaron Rodgers worked together for three seasons with the Green Bay Packers.

Examining the play of a few notable members of the 2022 NBA draft class.
Here we are at midseason, and it’s time to take a glance at how some of the notable rookies have played. Here are some retrospective thoughts on the current class of NBA newcomers, their respective adjustments to the league and how it all adds up with my predraft assessments. This is very much not comprehensive—apologies if your favorite rookie didn’t get mentioned—but here’s what’s been on my mind so far this season.

The USFL’s Michigan Panthers and Philadelphia Stars will play their Season 2 home games at Ford Field, home of the NFL’s Detroit Lions.

Breanna Stewart is one of the players with the most marketability, money opportunities and, therefore, power. How she uses it will shift the trajectory of the WNBA.

As they’ve cycled through quarterbacks, the 49ers’ top-ranked defense has remained a constant. It has everything to do with the man in charge of it and his younger self.
At the Texans’ football headquarters, only the brave called the middle linebacker by his actual birth name. This destroyer of running backs and setter of standards wasn’t “DeMeco Ryans” at the office. Nor was he “Meco,” the nickname his many of his friends still use. Instead, everyone in Houston, from owner to custodian, called him “Cap.

The NIL era has led to a lot of unique partnerships between athletes and organizations. None, though, stand out like a recent deal in Indiana.
A group of five Notre Dame athletes agreed to the first-known agreement with a house of God. The event will be held on Super Bowl Sunday. Rather, ‘Souper’ Bowl Sunday.
County Line Church of God in Auburn, Indiana, is located one hour and 47 minutes from South Bend. It announced earlier this week that it will host “5 Division I college athletes” for autograph sessions after each service on Feb.

Former Detroit Lions player Jessie Lemonier has died.
The Lions announced Thursday morning that the 25-year-old defensive end passed away. A cause of death wasn’t announced.
“We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of former Detroit Lion Jessie Lemonier. Jessie was a model teammate and wonderful young man who is gone far too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time,” the team announced to fans.

KD didn’t like Joel Embiid’s crotch chops against the Nets.
The NBA knew exactly what they were doing when they scheduled the Brooklyn Nets at the Philadelphia 76ers during “Rivalry Week.” This was all about Ben Simmons returning to Philly after his infamous struggles in the 2021 NBA Playoffs led to a trade request, a decision to sit out games, and eventually a move to Brooklyn that returned James Harden to the Sixers.

These trademark programs are struggling mightily this season.
