Pistons center Isaiah Stewart punched Suns reserve Drew Eubanks in the face during an altercation in the back tunnels of Footprint Center and was later arrested for assault. The two were reportedly chest-to-chest when Stewart took a swing that connected with Eubanks’ mouth. Police reportedly had to get involved… Source link

This is not a rebuild I repeat: This is not a rebuild. That’s effectively what New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis has said for the past two offseasons despite losing Drew Brees to retirement after the 2020 season and then losing head coach Sean Payton after the 2021 season. “I think our team feels confident in our ability, but there’s so many variables that go into a season,” Loomis said at the start of training camp this year. “But we’re not a rebuild. This isn’t a rebuild,… Source link

Pete Carroll has finally named the Seattle Seahawks‘ starting quarterback, and it’s Geno Smith. “Geno’s gonna start,” Carroll said Friday night after Seattle’s 27-26 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in which Drew Lock threw three interceptions. “He’s gonna start the opener, and he’s earned it, he’s won the job. With the time frames that got messed up for Drew, he just ran out of time.” After Lock missed the Seahawks’ second preseason game due to COVID-19, Carroll wanted to give Lock a shot to unseat… Source link

Pickleball has exploded in popularity among all age groups — including a who’s-who of celebrities such as Bill Gates, Leonardo diCaprio, George Clooney, and legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees. Brees, who has long played the game and is now a part-owner of the Mad Drops Club of Major League Pickleball, described the sport as “a combination between tennis and ping-pong. It’s a fast-paced game.” “It’s really more of a game about patience than it is about power,” Brees said on Yahoo Finance… Source link

LeBron James is still LeBron James, even in the offseason. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar made a much-anticipated appearance at the Drew League in Los Angeles on Saturday, his first in 11 years, and was exactly as advertised, dropping 42 points, 16 rebounds and four steals in a 104-102 win. James’ team, the Cheaters (yes, really), led for most of the first half before finding themselves in a hole in the third quarter. James helped lead a comeback, while delivering highlight after… Source link

NBC Sports has picked former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett to replace Drew Brees as an analyst on “Football Night in America,” the network announced Tuesday. Brees departed NBC after one season of working as a Sunday night analyst and color commentator for Notre Dame games. His exit was reported last month and confirmed earlier this week by NBC Sports chairman Pete Bevacqua, who said Brees wanted to spend more time with his family in retirement. Garrett has been working for NBC as an… Source link

Drew Brees is out at NBC. The former New Orleans Saints quarterback is done at the network after a single season working as a studio and game analyst for its NFL broadcasts, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reports. Per the report, the decision was mutual. Brees preferred calling games over studio work while NBC “soured” on Brees as a color commentator after holding out hope that he could develop as the heir apparent to Cris Collinsworth on “Sunday Night Football” broadcasts, according to… Source link

Down to their last quarterback, the New Orleans Saints almost pulled off a Christmas miracle. Earlier this week, the team found itself down to its last quarterback, fourth-round rookie Ian Book, after Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian hit the reserve/COVID-19 list while Jameis Winston remains out with a torn ACL. With a Monday night game against the Miami Dolphins coming up, the team signed Blake Bortles to back up Book, but they called some more interesting names before the former Jacksonville… Source link

It was an odd, unanswerable question. Still, it was on the mind of at least one Google user in India. What is the country’s “ugliest” language? For anyone who typed the question into the platform’s search bar recently, its algorithm produced a fact box confident of the answer: a tongue called Kannada, spoken by tens of millions of people in India’s south. Informed of that result, many of them weren’t happy. Several politicians in the state of Karnataka, where most Kannada speakers… Source link
