UNLV coach Barry Odom is going to extreme lengths to ingratiate himself within the Las Vegas community ahead of the 2024 season, and he’s doing so with style.
The 47-year-old decided it would be a good idea to attend a rodeo Saturday night and ride a bull “Widowmaker” to get fans hyped up for the upcoming Rebels season. It went pretty much how you’d expect it would. 
Odom lasted about three seconds before hitting the dirt and appeared a bit dazed when getting up from the fall. He then was quickly examined by staff when he was trying to get out of the arena.

The Rangers agreed to terms Sunday on a one-year contract extension with veteran goaltender Jonathan Quick that’s worth $1.275 million.

FC Cincinnati is set to acquire Inter Miami defender DeAndre Yedlin for $172,000 in General Allocation Money, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Nationals outfielder Daylen Lile has a lower back contusion and is out of the hospital after undergoing CT scans following a scary fall Saturday.

USC freshman Bronny James is expected to weigh his entry into the 2024 NBA draft based on specific team interest, not draft position, Rich Paul told ESPN.

Phil Foden kept Man City’s Premier League title challenge on track with a superb brace as his side clinched a 3-1 victory over Man United on Sunday.

Xavier Worthy may have stolen much of the spotlight at this year’s NFL scouting combine—and rightfully so—for his record-setting run in the 40-yard dash, but he wasn’t the only wide receiver who drew attention on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. 
Washington wideout Rome Odunze, who reportedly has impressed teams in interviews, did something rarely seen at the combine—and it happened after the stadium had mostly emptied.
Odunze stayed on the field and wouldn’t leave until he had completed all of the combine’s events, the last of which was the three-cone drill.

The Chicago Bears currently hold the #1 pick in the NFL Draft. Most experts expect them to keep that pick and make the first selection. However, even if they ultimately trade the pick, sportsbooks are clear: the team that selects number one is taking USC quarterback Caleb Williams. 
As someone who covers the NFL Draft, I can honestly say that Williams is a very tough evaluation. He has all the physical gifts that teams covet in a potential franchise quarterback. However, there are some issues with his personality and leadership abilities. Plus, there are some holes in his college tape, too.

The Intuit Dome — the $2-billion future home of the Los Angeles Clippers — is still under construction. And it looks like they’re saving the security system for last.
Two teenagers broke into the Inglewood, Calif., arena in the middle of the night and proceeded to wreak havoc. How do we know? Because they posted the whole thing on TikTok.
They managed to make their way in by climbing an orange ladder outside the construction grounds, before strolling through empty hallways and entering the incomplete bleachers.

Former Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt was a menace on the football field. But he could have been equally formidable as a hockey player.
The future Hall-of-Famer has a lot more free time on his hands now that he’s not bulldozing o-lineman and demolishing quarterbacks. Most retired football guys hunt or fish in their spare time, or pick up old hobbies that they couldn’t focus on during their careers.
Watt did the latter, and in the process showed he’s a natural at a far different sport than football.
