Lakers superstar LeBron James and Bucks counterpart Giannis Antetokounmpo will captain the NBA All-Star Game for the second time in four years.

The San Francisco running back discussed his status for Sunday’s big game.
While Christian McCaffrey did not participate in practice with the 49ers on Thursday, the San Francisco running back still remains on schedule to play in Sunday’s NFC Championship game against the Eagles.
McCaffrey suffered a right calf contusion in the 49ers’ 19-12 win against the Cowboys on Sunday. However, when asked if there was a chance he would not play in Sunday’s game with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, his answer was simple.
“Zero,” McCaffrey told reporters.

Here are the 2023 NBA All-Star Game starters.
The starters for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game have been announced. The starters were determined by three different voting bodies: the fan vote made up 50 percent, a media vote determined 25 percent, and a coaches vote took up 25 percent. Now we know who is starting the All-Star Game on Sun, Feb 19 at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The NBA did away with the East vs. West format of the All-Star Game years ago.

The move comes amid ongoing controversy between the Reyna family and USMNT manager Gregg Berhalter.
Leadership changes have been happening rapidly around U.S. Soccer in recent weeks, and a central figure to the USMNT’s post-World Cup controversy will have a job change of his own.
Claudio Reyna, father of USMNT star Gio, is stepping down from his post as sporting director of MLS club Austin FC, the club announced Thursday. He will remain with Austin as a “technical advisor.

Nick Wright, Kevin Wildes, and Chris Broussard discuss Cincinnati Bengals fans calling GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium ‘Burrowhead’. Nick explains this trash talk from the Bengals will give Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs extra motivation in the AFC Championship Game.

With vacancies in three key leadership positions, the United States Soccer Federation has entered yet another rebuilding period.

Deion Sanders has been the head football coach at the University of Colorado Boulder for less than two months but he is already making a massive impact on the program. Not only are headlines following Coach Prime wherever he goes, the talent pool has increased by a significant margin.
While the Buffaloes have some history of success, and won a national championship in 1990, they have not replicated the winning ways in recent years. Colorado has won eight or more games in a season just four times since the turn of the millennium and went 1-11 last season.

Earnie Stewart, U.S. Soccer’s sporting director, is leaving his position for the same title at Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.
Stewart took over the role in 2019, after the U.S. Men’s National Team failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
He had previously served as general manager, and was heavily involved in the coaching search that led to Gregg Berhalter taking the job.
His first mandate as sporting director was to return U.S. Soccer to the World Cup. But the job went much further than that.

It turns out the Cowboys owner has big plans for Dallas’s future, and McCarthy apparently is a major part of it.
After the Cowboys suffered an ugly 19–12 loss in the NFC divisional playoff round last Sunday against the 49ers, many observers questioned the job security of coach Mike McCarthy.
Would McCarthy return to the team next season? Would there be significant staff shake-ups if McCarthy did return?
It turns out the Cowboys front office, beginning with owner and general manager Jerry Jones, had staff changes in mind, but it did not include a change to McCarthy’s job status.

Bill Belichick and the Patriots played the entire 2022 season without an official offensive or defensive coordinator. It did not go well for them.
New England went 8-9, finished third in the AFC East and missed out on the playoffs. It finished with the No. 17-ranked offense and No. 10-ranked defense in terms of points per game.
While the defensive side of the ball may not have been as big of an issue issue, the offensive side of the ball was a mess. The Patriots offense, on multiple occasions, failed its defense. Plain and simple.
