just now (364+ words) Even when individuals go their separate ways in the NBA, it isn't always a foregone conclusion that there's no longer a healthy relationship in play. Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas last season, but based on his three-word message to his former coach JJ Redick following his revenge game vs. the 17-time NBA champions, there's no bad blood between the two. "That's my guy," Davis said before going into detail about his relationship with the second-year head coach. "We haven't had a chance to have a conversation yet. But we talked about it in Vegas when we played them (the Lakers), that we should. "Last year, first-time head coach. It was trying to figure each other out." "Trying to figure out what he likes to do. What's his game plan " while…...

3+ min ago (401+ words) Newcastle United appear ready to take the final decision on William Osula, and the situation now carries a sense of clarity after months of uncertainty. Journalist Pete O'Rourke reported that the club, having previously ruled out any sale, now looks set to accept an offer from Germany. That shift shows a hard realisation inside the hierarchy. They recognise that keeping him on the fringes serves neither the player nor the long-term planning of the squad. He is 22 and needs consistent football to grow, and that opportunity has not arrived on Tyneside. Although Osula has shown some of his talent in short cameos, including a goal against Liverpool earlier in the season, he has remained a peripheral figure. Newcastle United have invested in established strikers, creating a closed pathway for the Dane. Therefore, he faces a decision with an impact on…...

It was expected that the Rams would tack on another win this week, and they might, but the Panthers have showed up to play, while the Rams started with some mistakes early to put the Panthers where they wanted to be. Despite the errors, the Rams have kept themselves from bottoming out and so far, this has been a competitive game for both teams, but the Rams (believe it or not) have looked better overall despite the errors. The Rams took a quick 7-0 lead after Matthew Stafford found Davantae Adams for a passing score, but the Panthers responded on their next drive with a throwing score by Bryce Young. On L.A.s next drive, the Rams were in the redzone quickly again, but…...

In the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, Stafford found Davante Adams in the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown pass. The score gave the Los Angeles Rams a 7-0 lead. And it put Stafford in the NFL history book. The touchdown was Stafford's 28th straight this season in a span in which he did not throw an interception. That's the most touchdowns without an interception in NFL history. He was previously tied with Tom Brady at 27. Stafford entered Sunday having thrown 30 touchdowns and just two interceptions while leading the Rams to an NFC-best 9-2 record.

From 1993 to 2007, the Hall of Fame defensive end recorded 141.5 sacks, the tenth most in league history, including a single-season record 22.5 sacks in 2001. He capped his career with a Super Bowl win before retiring. Shortly after his playing career, Strahan stayed close to football, joining Fox Sports for its weekly pregame show, "Fox NFL Sunday," alongside Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long.

Golding assumes control after Lane Kiffin"s departure for LSU, pausing his Rebels exit plan amid disagreement with school officials over postseason availability. After hours-long meetings Saturday in Oxford involving athletic director Keith Carter and chancellor Glenn Boyce, Ole Miss informed Kiffin he would not be allowed to coach the team through the playoff if he accepted another job. Golding will now finish the 2025 postseason run. Golding joined Kiffin"s staff at Ole Miss in 2023 as defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach.

16+ min ago (196+ words) In what has been an impressive rookie season, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan has cemented himself as the team's No. 1 option in the passing game. Entering Week 13, McMillan has tallied 783 receiving yards and five touchdowns and is well on his way to a 1,000-yard season. I'm not sure the Panthers could've hoped for much better than what the rookie has shown. However, McMillan is not producing early on in the Week 13 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Here's a closer look at what's going on. Yes, McMillan is active and healthy, and he does have one target with two minutes left in the second quarter but he wasn't able to reel it in. Bryce Young has only thrown nine passes and completed six, so there haven't been a ton of chances for the rookie to get going. Hopefully McMillan…...
