Los Angeles Sparks guard Rae Burrell has been a standout in the new 3-on-3 basketball league’s preseason games.
Unrivaled — the new professional women’s 3-on-3 basketball leagues — is set to tip off on Friday, and the basketball community is eager to tune in to watch 36 of the world’s best WNBA players compete, a list that includes Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Sabrina Ionescu, Angel Reese, and Brittney Griner.

What would the first weekend of the NFL playoffs be without a controversial call by referees? The Green Bay Packers fumbled the opening kickoff against the Philadelphia Eagles and refs ruled that the Eagles recovered the fumble. 
However, replay appeared to show that Packers’ returner Keisan Nixon, who fumbled the ball, recovered it before Eagles players wrestled the ball away from him. 
Despite that, referee Brad Allen ruled that, after replay review, the call on the field of the Philadelphia recovery stood.

Mark Pope played for the University of Kentucky and was a team captain for the Wildcats during their national championship-winning season in 1996. In other words, Pope understands what it means to play for Kentucky, but playing for the Wildcats and coaching the Wildcats are two very different assignments.
Some members of Big Blue Nation were a bit skeptical about Pope being hired as head coach, to put it mildly after John Calipari bolted for the Arkansas gig.

The Bills leaned on a balanced offensive attack in a 31-7 win over the Broncos in a wild-card playoff game Sunday.

You know it’s a good day for your team when officials blow an obvious call and come over to your bench and seemingly apologize for their error. That’s what happened to the Buffalo Bills in their Wild Card playoff game Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
In the third quarter, the back judge was looking away when Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid was obviously held in the end zone. 
The non-call cost the Bills a first down just outside the goal line. It also affected the Bills in that Josh Allen was unable to throw an easy TD pass to Kincaid.

The Houston Texans obliterated the Los Angeles Chargers in Saturday’s NFL Wild Card playoff game and a big reason was LA quarterback Justin Herbert. 
Herbert, who threw only three interceptions throughout the regular season, inexplicably tossed four picks – including one returned for a touchdown – against Houston, helping to end the Chargers’ season. 
Naturally, Herbert is under fire for the terrible performance. Not enough for Robert Griffin III’s liking, though. 
RGIII thinks Herbert won’t get enough criticism because, you guessed it, Herbert is white.

Nicole Auerbach and Joshua Perry agree Ryan Day

ESPN’s Rex Ryan thought the Houston Texans would get rocked in the first round of the playoffs. When they didn’t, they let Ryan hear it.
Before the Texans faced off against the Los Angeles Chargers in a Wild Card Round matchup on Saturday, Ryan went live on air to suggest that this would be an easy matchup for the Chargers. On Monday’s episode of “Get Up!,” he insinuated that the Texans would barely put up a fight.
“(They have to play the) Chargers, basically, I never realized, they get a bye. Oh, wait, they gotta play the Texans.

The Bills had a very close call on a key touchdown.

A certain fanbase in the Lone Star State would be beside itself if Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty had his wish come true in April at the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Boise State running back, who declared for the NFL Draft last week, was recently asked which of the 32 teams in the NFL he’d love to play for. Without hesitation, Jeanty’s mind went to the Dallas Cowboys, describing playing for the franchise as a “dream” scenario if it were to come to fruition.
“I would love to play for the Cowboys,” Jeanty said. “It’d be like a dream come true.

Unsurprisingly, Notre Dame’s run to the National Championship thrust head coach Marcus Freeman into the spotlight once again. According to the NFL Network, the Chicago Bears have an interest in luring the college football coach to the professional level. 
The Bears are desperate for stability at head coach since they let Lovie Smith go following the 2012 NFL season. Since then, the Bears have had five different head coaches and zero playoff victories. 
In fact, the Bears haven’t won a playoff game in 15 seasons.

The Bills scored points on each of their opening possessions.

The Wings extended reserved qualifying offers to Sevgi Uzun and Jaelyn Brown. But, the departures of Satou Sabally and Natasha Howard loom large.
The Dallas Wings are slated to lose two of their best players to free agency this winter — Natasha Howard and Satou Sabally — and are entering an offseason of uncertainty.
But, on Saturday, the organization got free agency started with the first transactions of free agency, extending qualifying offers to incoming second-year players Sevgi Uzun and Jaelyn Brown.

The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for one of the more unusual playoff games in recent memory because despite winning the NFC West and snagging home-field advantage in their Wild Card Round game against the Minnesota Vikings, the devastating wildfires in Southern California had other plans.
Because of the tragic — and still ongoing — natural disaster in their home city, the Rams’ “home” game has been moved to Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium.

The former Oregon teammates hooked up for a 43-yard touchdown on the Broncos’ first drive to give Denver an early lead.

Tedy Bruschi is excited that the New England Patriots have elected to hire Mike Vrabel as the franchise’s next head coach. Bruschi’s excitement doesn’t solely come from his belief in Vrabel’s ability and track record or because the two shared the field in Foxborough together for years, however.
The Patriots have posted back-to-back 4-13 seasons, which is a far cry from their dominant run when Vrabel and Bruschi helped lead the franchise to multiple Super Bowls.

So you want to play QB in the NFL? Be ready to do what Bo Nix did on his first NFL playoff drive
If Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos are going pull off a big upset of the Buffalo Bills on the road, they are going to need to create some explosive plays in the passing game.
Given that, their first possession in Sunday’s Wild Card game was exactly what the doctor ordered.
With the Broncos facing 2nd and 4 just inside Buffalo territory, Sean Payton dialed up a vertical concept for his rookie quarterback.

The Las Vegas Aces cored the three-time All-Star on Saturday.
Kelsey Plum has been cored by the Las Vegas Aces, meaning that she’ll be offered a one-year supermax contract worth $249,244. The core designation also takes away her ability to sign with other WNBA teams.
If Plum wants out of Las Vegas, the fact that she’s been cored ensures that the Aces will at least get something in return for her.
