2016 NBA re-draft has Sixers taking Brandon Ingram over Ben Simmons

Back in 2016, the Philadelphia 76ers held the No. 1 pick in a pretty deep draft. The Sixers were going to land one of the top talents and continue to grow their team for the future.

He made an All-Star game three times, he won Rookie of the Year, he made it… Source link

NASCAR driver at the center of ‘Let’s go Brandon’ may have to skip races in 2022 thanks to a lack of sponsorship

Brandon Brown’s embrace of the right-wing slogan that involves his first name hasn’t reaped any financial rewards in 2022. Brown is stepping out of his No. 68 car for Saturday’s Xfinity Series race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course and may not compete in many more races the rest of the season. Brown’s team is looking to field drivers who have sponsorship money after a deal with a now-defunct political cryptocurrency didn’t flourish. And that lack of sponsorship is why… Source link

Nick Kyrgios admits he tanked 4th set vs. Brandon Nakashima, but ‘it worked’

For better or worse, no personality has burned brighter at this year’s Wimbledon than Nick Kyrgios. That included his tactics in the fourth round on Monday. Facing unseeded American Brandon Nakashima, Kyrgios found himself grinding more than he previously had in the tournament, in which he has already notched arguably the biggest win of his career against No. 4 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. Kyrgios was dropped the first set, won the next two, then fell behind a break in the fourth. Down 5-3 and… Source link

Brandon Brown embraces ‘Let’s go Brandon’ slogan

Brandon Brown is now choosing to embrace a right-wing slogan that took off after he won at Talladega in October. Less than two weeks ago, the Xfinity Series driver lamented to The New York Times that he was unable to get sponsorship because of the “Let’s go Brandon” meme that had become an inside joke in conservative circles. Thursday, Brown announced a sponsorship for his car from LGBCoin, a cryptocurrency with “no intrinsic value” that’s attempting to profit off of the slogan.  Brown’s… Source link

Chargers coach Brandon Staley doesn’t regret decisions

Six football seasons ago, Brandon Staley was the defensive coordinator at John Carroll University, a small, non-scholarship, Division III program in Ohio. That was 2016.

The 39-year-old is on a meteoric rise (he coached linebackers in Chicago for two seasons, then Denver for one, then became the defensive coordinator in L.A. for the Rams before… Source link

Brandon Staley’s Joey Bosa decision for Chargers is good

  In a perfect world, Brandon Staley will be the coach the Chargers franchise has been searching for for nearly its entire existence. He’ll finally get the team back to the Super Bowl, and even win it. It may not happen this year, especially since it’s been over 30 years since a rookie head coach won the Super Bowl, and George Seifert’s 49ers still had Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. It may not happen next year. But if Staley has success, it will hopefully lead to the NFL — a league that has a… Source link
