The Portland Trail Blazers entered this season willing to sacrifice winning in favor of development of young talent while also allowing a new mix of veterans to develop chemistry. Injuries, unfortunately, have somewhat derailed those goals for much of the season. Whenever the roster becomes reasonably healthy, inevitably several players land on the injury list making it difficult to accelerate growth both individually and as a team. It’s almost impossible to do it as a group,” Blazers coach Chauncey Billupssaid. “There’s certain pockets of when this guy is in for a while and he’s picking things up, learning this part,…

The record that lived for 30 years was finally broken, twice, during Super Bowl LVIII. On any of the 57 prior Super Sundays, no player had made a longer field goal than the 54-yarder that Steve Christie nailed during the first quarter of Super Bowl XXVIII in Atlanta.
