From a mall parking lot altercation to a fight with a teenager during a pickup game, these are the allegations Ja Morant is facing.
Ja Morant has the Memphis Grizzlies positioned as an NBA championship contender this season, but allegations of violence and aggression off the court are starting to put his success under a harsher light. A new story in the Washington Post detailed multiple incidents where police investigated Morant for threatening behavior but ultimately declined to charge him.

Jon Jones is imperfect. His dominance as a fighter does not excuse his shortcomings as a citizen. But he is growing, and at 35, could have more fights left in him.

We’re back with another freshly baked batch of OutKick’s NHL Weekly Awards!
I hope this one taste’s alright. I burned the last bath and had to start over…
We’ve got a doozy of an NHL (and college) hockey highlight harvest this week. Some fisticuffs, a freakout, and a bit of over-acting that would make modern-day Pacino say, “Jeez, real it in guy.”
We also have an old NHL Weekly Award favorite to reclaim an award that bears his name.
I’m excited, you’re excited, and your wife/girlfriend is indifferent at best: let’s hand out some awards.

A report surfaced in January that Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant had been sued after allegedly hitting a teenager in the face during a pickup basketball game outside of his home in July 2022. Now, new police reports accuse the 23-year-old of threatening the teenager with a gun after the altercation.
According to police documents, the 17-year-old teenager threw a basketball at Morant and “accidentally” hit him in the face.

Alabama linebacker Will Anderson Jr. is projected to hear his name called within the first five picks of the 2023 NFL Draft in April. The 6-foot-4, 243-pounder was a two-time consensus All-American and won the Bronko Nagurski Award, given to the best defensive player in college football, twice.
Needless to say, Anderson is a beast. He had 204 total tackles in three years, 115 of them solo, with 34.5 sacks against a gauntlet SEC schedule.
Opposing offenses had to key on Anderson even more in 2022 after his career year in 2021.

For those who think Bill Belichick is only a hard-ass coach at the NFL level, they would be very wrong. Several NFL Draft prospects discussed Belichick’s demeanor and attitude at the Shrine Bowl, and it was exactly what you’d expect.
The East-West Shrine Bowl is one of several post season bowl games designed for NFL Draft-eligible senior players. They get a chance to practice and play in front of NFL coaches and scouts.
Troy Brown, a wide receivers coach for the New England Patriots, was selected to be the head coach of the West squad.
