Matt Campbell doesn’t remember the truck’s year, but its real-life value as a hand-me-down from his grandfather (“the greatest gift”) transcended the Blue Book value ($3,000). Driving home from a week of workouts following an underwhelming freshman season on the football team at the University of Pittsburgh, Campbell’s truck pulled up to an intersection in Alliance, Ohio. There on State Street, he came… Source link

Russell Wilson got some much-needed help in the kitchen. Letting Russ cook this season was the right move by the Seattle Seahawks, but the last couple weeks, he looked like a player who was putting everything on his shoulders. He had good reason. Due to injuries, Seattle had no reliable run game, and the Seahawks defense has been bad all year.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, NBA teams also can’t attend college practices this year giving a slight… Source link

That person would be Chris Bosh, who discussed the circumstances of his former teammate’s departure for the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency during an appearance on Thursday’s episode of the “All the Smoke” podcast. When asked by host Matt Barnes how James told him of the decision, Bosh… Source link
