Plus, a post-practice interview with Princeton WR Andrei Iosivas.
Princeton wide receiver Andrei Iosivas (pronounced Yoshi-vas) is no stranger to change— going 4,961 miles away from your home will definitely force you to change some things about your life. However, Iosivas was ready for that moment then, and is ready for the moment he has this week as he practices at the 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl.
“It was always Stanford or the Ivy League,” Iosivas told reporters after Day One of Senior Bowl practice in Mobile, AL.

LeBron James and the Lakers (including their fans) hopped on a soapbox after Saturday night’s loss against the Boston Celtics to complain about lopsided officiating going against the LA team.
Well, once you dig into the controversial play, there’s more to it than LA’s opinion.
With the score tied 105-105, LeBron drove to the basket for a layup only to get hit on the arm by Celtics star Jayson Tatum. No foul was called by the official and the game went into overtime, where the Lakers had another shot at winning the game but fumbled the opportunity, losing 125-121.

Wow.

Jalen Hurts will join the top-10 list when he starts for the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
When Jalen Hurts takes his first snap for the Eagles during Super Bowl LVII, he will become the seventh-youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl. At just over 24 years and six months old, Hurts will join a small group of signal-callers to play in the Big Game this early in their careers.
Dan Marino remains the youngest quarterback to start in a Super Bowl at 23 years and 127 days, while Ben Roethlisberger is the only other QB to start the game at age 23, doing so 28 days short of his 24th birthday.

Everybody’s looking forward to watching Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts square off—well, almost everybody.
With the stage set for Super Bowl LVII, the football-watching world is left to look ahead at all the intriguing aspects of this year’s matchups. Chief among them is the quarterback pairing, with this season’s top two MVP candidates—the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts—set to square off in what should be a must-watch showdown.
At least, that’s how most people view things.

A 6-year-old ordered himself a GrubHub smorgasbord, and it was all on his pops’ dime.
It happened in Chesterfield, Mich., and according to MLive, 6-year-old Mason was at home with his dad, Keith Stonehouse, while his mom was catching a movie with friends.
Stonehouse thought he’d keep Mason occupied by giving him his phone to play a game.
However, young Mason must have found himself hankering for some grub, so he grabbed his old man’s phone and ordered up some GrubHub. Honestly, that’s pretty smart for a kid that young.

Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson discuss Chad’s tenure with the New England Patriots. When Shannon asked about his experience, Chad said: “It’s a whole different ballgame. In New England there is no big dog, everyone is expendable and you feel it the moment you walk into the room.” Chad also goes onto to talk about how Bill Belichick checked Chad when he joined the team.

The Houston Texans hired former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans on Tuesday as their next head coach. In doing so, Ryans becomes the sixth head coach in franchise history.
The last three head coaches in Houston have been black men, meaning that half the coaches in the franchise history are black. And, if you count Romeo Crennel’s stint as interim coach in 2020 following the firing of Bill O’Brien, then Ryans becomes the fourth consecutive black man to be head coach of the Texans.
