There is currently no interest from teams in signing Ben Simmons, who is now representing himself after his agent left this offseason. It appears very likely Simmons will open the 2025-26 NBA season without a team. Retirement could become a real possibility for the 29-year-old.

Liberty, Aces, Fever, Valkyries are money printers for minimum of 22 night per year in their respective city.
The Las Vegas Aces were bought by Raiders owner Mark Davis for $2M in 2021. Four years, three WNBA Finals titles, a $40M practice facility, and four A'ja Wilson MVPs later, the Aces are worth over $300M. The Aces are big business.

If Giants can win 6 out of 11 remaining games it would be a big deal. Exciting times in tristate area. Where are all those ppl that thought the Colorado QB is better than the Ole Miss QB? The NCAA film don't lie.

To have the SID, AD, Graphic person do this after 9pm to stop the burning building is a headache. It's going to get louder and louder as season advance to the finish line. Remember he was NOT the AD's pick.

This is true.
Mick Cronin was really praising Steven Jamerson; joked about Izzo not having this guy walk on at Michigan State. Had no idea about his backstory. Was at MSU as regular student. Wasn't given opportunity to try out as a walk-on. Didn't even get picked as student manager.

🇬🇷 Contrary to what I had learned in recent days, a Greek team could obtain a multi-year licence in the NBA Europe project. 🏴As is well known, there will be 12 multi-year licences, with the entry of England (Manchester? London?). ⏰ Next Wednesday, there could be interesting

The Belichick disaster seemed so inevitable. Old grumpy NFL coach who lost his touch in the league. Going to college for the first time with almost no connections to the sport. Portal + NIL era has been difficult for even established coaches. Roster bad. Couldn’t connect with the

Bill Belichick screwed a lot of people after taking this job especially the kids and families. Wasted 1 year off of their NCAA clock. It's also the students and parents fault for getting delusional to think this guy is a winner.
From one UNC defensive assistant: "What we've done to these kids is fucked up."
