The Connecticut Sun head coach addressed reporters for the first time since her team’s elimination, and revealed she was going through a difficult family matter.
Every now and then, basketball has a way of reminding us that it’s really not that important. Connecticut Sun coach Stephanie White’s end-of-season press conference was one such instance. White, who been the subject of rumors that she could be leaving the organization after two years at the helm, fought back tears as she addressed the media on Thursday morning.

Early voting is opening up around the country, and the early returns on Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer are all over the place.
He checked off boxes that give the constituents faith, like the Georgia win and domination of Wisconsin. However, the South Carolina and USF games failed to get the “undecided vote,” and the loss at Vanderbilt was comparable to Joe Biden at a presidential debate.

Depending on how you see it, former Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams is either having the best birthday of all time, or the worst.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Titans had decided to release Adams — on his birthday, no less — and while you’d think that that’d be a horrible thing to have happen when you blow out the candles, that doesn’t appear to be the case for Adams.
Adams signed with the Titans over the offseason after being released by the Seattle Seahawks and his time in Nashville did not go smoothly. He played just 20 snaps.

Haas driver Nico Hülkenberg talked upgrades and more ahead of the United States Grand Prix
AUSTIN — 2023 was a difficult season for Haas.
The American-based Formula 1 team found themselves at the back of the grid, finishing last in the F1 Constructors’ Championship. That led to some massive changes during the offseason, including the departure of Guenther Steiner as Team Principal, with Ayao Komatsu stepping into that role.

Lonzo Ball is back, and basketball is better is for it.
Lonzo Ball couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs. The Chicago Bulls point guard had already been out eight months for an injury that was originally supposed to keep him out eight weeks. “Left knee soreness” was the first injury diagnosis by the team. A week later, it was announced Ball would have arthroscopic knee surgery. From there, Ball was diagnosed with a bone bruise under his knee, had to have his meniscus fully replaced, and eventually had to get a rare cartilage transplant.

Coach Sean Payton and New Orleans had 15 magical seasons together, but Denver might have gotten the coach AND the best player from that unusual deal.

The QB was candid about what’s gone right (and wrong) since taking over.
We’ve become conditioned to accept that athletes will be dripping with bravado when it comes to their role on a team, but Justin Fields was brutally honest when asked about whether he should keep starting for the Steelers over Russell Wilson.

Justin Fields very candid today: “I don’t think I played good enough if I’m being real with you.
“If I’m being real with myself, if I did play well enough, I don’t think there would be any sort of (question) who should be playing who should not.

With bye weeks here and injuries running rampant, fantasy football managers have to make some tough lineup calls. Tera Roberts outlines the scenarios for some key options.

Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield are two first-round busts that have played their way back into the mix on new teams years later.
Few designations are worse in sports than being pegged as a quarterback bust in the NFL. It’s a stench that is very hard to get rid of completely, and one that very few ever fully shed.

Parents always love capturing special moments on video. Always have. Now they don’t have to lug around a giant camera like they’re about to shoot something for the six o’clock news; you just grab your phone and start shooting.
First words, first steps, graduations, even crappy elementary school chorus programs they didn’t want to go to; parents will record all of it.
Not too many parents can brag that they captured their son’s first NHL fight on camera, but Colorado Avalanche rookie Matt Stienburg’s dad can.
