Rutgers basketball is firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble. The Scarlet Knights finished the regular season at 18-13, but would have finished 19-12 if not for a controversial loss that shouldn’t have counted.
Back on Dec. 8, Rutgers traveled to Columbus for a Big Ten Conference matchup against then-No. 25 Ohio State. The visitors led the home team by two with five seconds left and fifth-year senior Caleb McConnell was at the free throw line to make it three, but he missed.
The Buckeyes secured the rebound and got the ball to star freshman Bruce Thorton, who brought the ball up the court.

The Dolphins have reportedly informed cornerback Byron Jones that he will be released at the start of the new NFL year.

If there was ever any question whether New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is all in on his football people’s chase of Aaron Rodgers, then we have our answer.
Johnson gave a contingent of the club’s coaches and front office people use of his private jet Tuesday afternoon to fly to California to meet with Rodgers in person. And Johnson joined the group, per a source.
The meeting is expected to begin sometime this afternoon (California time) and follows what was termed by one league source as a productive phone conversation Monday between Rodgers and team officials.

LeBron, the recently crowned NBA all-time leading scorer, took to Twitter on Monday night to throw some shots about the lack of hustle by players in the league today.
Fair point, of course.
NBA fans have been vocal with their criticism of the lack of consistent play from top stars like James himself, who opt out of games because of “load management.

The quarterback posted various career bests in the 2022 season.
Geno Smith agreed to a three-year, $105 million deal with the Seahawks on Monday after one season as their starting quarterback.
Smith tweeted a few times on Tuesday expressing gratitude for the multi-year contract he signed the day prior, with most responses featuring only the praying hands emoji.
During the afternoon however, Smith tweeted a simple but hopeful message to fans on Tuesday while quote tweeting a video of his 2022 season highlights from the NFL.
“I’ll be much better!” Smith wrote. “Can’t wait.

The QB carousel continues, as Geno Smith did write back this time. He agreed to a three-year, $105M extension with the Seattle Seahawks. He may be QB1 but this adds more NFL Draft rumors in Seattle. Colin Cowherd predicts why the Seahawks will still draft a QB despite re-signing Geno.

The Yankees don’t necessarily need another historic campaign from Aaron Judge, but there will still be pressure from the Blue Jays and Rays within the division.

The Aaron Rodgers-Green Bay Packers era may come to an end. The New York Jets are reportedly in talks with the Packers on a Rodgers trade. The QB was granted to speak with the Jets.
