This Golden State Warriors player may hit free agency It was recently reported by Tim Kawakami of The Athletic during an episode of theWarriors Plus Minus podcast that the Golden State Warriors are likely to release veteran center Kevon Looney.

If the Warriors do release Looney, the three-time NBA champion will likely have a lot of potential suitors in free…

However, the landscape has shifted dramatically since those days. Ham moved on to become the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, a tenure that…

Quinn Ewers of the Texas Longhorns, a returning starter, is among the best quarterbacks in college football. As an analyst going into the 2024 regular season, former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy actually has Ewers ranked among his top two. Sports Illustrated said that McElroy observed a significant increase in decisiveness throughout the previous year. “When things were open downfield last year, he anticipated them and took them straight. He didn’t waste any time. He took advantage of the opening beneath the ball, hit it, and moved the chains further without waiting for the huge play to present itself downfield. Only…

He continued by saying that the weight gain was a result of the regulation modifications. “This might be really surprising to a lot of you guys and a lot of my teammates because I don’t hang out in the weight room too…
During the last nine months or so, the Dallas Cowboys have made an effort to persuade their supporters, players, and even themselves that Trevor Lance, the quarterback from the 49ers that they acquired through a trade at the conclusion of last summer’s training camp, was a possible replacement for star starter Dak Prescott. It hasn’t taken the Cowboys long to demonstrate that. At least not yet. The rubber is already hitting the road, though, as clubs start getting ready for 2024’s training camp and mandated workouts get began. The Cowboys’ only chance to gain leverage in this circumstance is to…
