The Utah Jazz make their home in the Delta Center, the arena that was built in 1991 and the place that the Jazz have called home for over 30 years. One day, probably sooner than we’d like, the arena will be a memory as the Jazz look to have a new place of their own sooner rather than later. But until then, the arena still plays home for not only the Jazz but major events that come to Salt Lake City. With the Jazz on hiatus for about a week, as the league enters its All-Star Break, the denizens of…
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen was eliminated in the first round of the Starry Three-Point Contest after scoring 25 points. The Finnish sharpshooter needed 26 points to advance but came up one ball short of the final round at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. After a slow start, Markkanen caught fire on his last two racks, knocking down nine straight threes to threaten the leaders. “I think I shot pretty well,” Markkanen said. “I liked my strategy where my money ball was at.” Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks, Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers, Trae Young of the Houston…
Sergio Perez believes that the upcoming 24-race calendar is “too many races” and the sport should be focusing on quality, not quantity. The 2024 F1 calendar is scheduled to run with 24 Grands Prix dotted around the world over the next nine and a half months, a repeat of 2023’s record-breaking 24-race calendar (which ended up being 22 races due to the cancellation of Imola and China). With energy levels dropping at the end of the 2023 season as team members, mechanics, and drivers all began to struggle with illness and exhaustion, the prospect of an additional two races coming…

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has been around the Formula One paddock for nearly two decades. Horner was appointed chief of Red Bull racing in 2005 after the Austrian energy drink company purchased Jaguar F1. In that time, he has become one of motorsport’s most familiar faces thanks to his team’s success in winning six Constructors’ Championships and seven World Drivers’ Championships. Alongside his famed role in hit Netflix series ‘Drive To Survive’, Horner earns huge money from being the highest-paid team principal on the F1 grid on £8million-per-year. And that has earned the Warwickshire-born team boss stunning riches…
He is also a Super Bowl champion, and the team believed his history of winning could help out the organization. However, his first two seasons with the team haven’t yielded the results either party was hoping for, which has started a frenzy of rumors about Wilson, with many believing the team could move on from him in the offseason. Tim Hasselbeck took this a step further in a recent segment of ‘Get Up,’ where he indicated that Wilson might be out of the league next year. “I think there’s a chance Russell Wilson is out of football,” Hasselbeck said.
One of the Texas Rangers’ postseason stars still is available. Free agency has moved at a weird pace and Jordan Montgomery still is available along with a few other stars. The Boston Red Sox still are looking to upgrade the rotation and Montgomery has popped up as a possible on multiple occasions. Boston still needs some help and Montgomery would be the perfect option. Montgomery’s asking price could fall as the days pass and he’s still available. That certainly could help Boston, but it sounds like the club will have some competition if it wants Montgomery.
Rumors continue to swirl that the Philadelphia Phillies are searching for a splash addition in the free agency market before the new season begins.

One lesser-profile player the front office reportedly had interest in was Whit Merrifield. Philadelphia has been rumored to be looking for a fourth outfielder this offseason, but has found it difficult to court anyone on the market because they can’t guarantee playing Besides Nick Castellanos, Brandon Marsh and Johan…
Now that all the signed pitchers and catchers have reported to their spring training homes, we are starting to see the transaction freeze thaw in the warm Florida or Arizona sun. The Giants signed a much needed power bat and many veterans signed small minor league deals, in the hopes of extending their career. However, with all the joy there was sadness as a multitude of injuries was announced by teams. Let’s dig in, shall we? Giants power up with Jorge Soler Earlier this week, the San Francisco Giants and Jorge Soler agreed on a three-year, $42 million contract. The…
Dan Campbell made quite the impression in 2023 with his all-out coaching style that included going for it on nearly every crucial fourth-down situation the Detroit Lions faced. That philosophy was far more than a strategic move based on the Lions position in any game. It was all about creating a dominating mentality that would show the team that there was no reason to be satisfied or even feel good by getting three points on a possession instead of 7. That philosophy paid off for the Lions for the large majority of the season. The team won the NFC North…
