Derrick Brooks “shocked” Warren Sapp not on NFL’s all-time team

https://ift.tt/2OB0OvO For the second consecutive week, the unveiling of players on the NFL's all-time team has led to criticism about leaving more recent players out. This week, when linebackers and defensive linemen were unveiled, one of the players who made the list is unhappy about a player who didn't make it. Former Buccaneers linebacker Derrick Brooks, who was selected to the all-time team, said he was in no mood to celebrate after seeing former defensive tackle Warren Sapp left off. from Yahoo!

2018 Draft proposal rumored on Suns’ table: Draft Luka Doncic, go after free agent Clint Capela

https://ift.tt/2st1U41 When the Phoenix Suns hired Igor Kokoskov as head coach back in May 2018 — the first European born head coach of an NBA team — there was an assumption in many corners of the league this meant Phoenix wanted to draft Luka Doncic (Kokoskov was Doncic's national team coach). When the lottery ping-pong balls gifted Phoenix the No. 1 pick, they could then land whoever they wanted. Reportedly at the urging of owner Robert Sarver (who wanted the Arizona guy), the Suns drafted Deandre Ayton first overall. from Yahoo!

Watch Stephen Curry, Chris Mullin battle each other in Pop-A-Shot

https://ift.tt/2Y0SKaR Who ya got for all-time Golden State Warrior Pop-A-Shot king: Stephen Curry or Chris Mullin? Curry — still out with a fractured hand — was on the Warriors pregame show Friday and took on Mullin in the ultimate test of any pure shooter, Pop-A-Shot. Curry had to go one handed (his right, shooting hand) because there is still a cast on his left hand, so Mullin did the same. from Yahoo!

Luka Doncic’s 42 points gives him 30-point triple-double average for November; Mavs win

https://ift.tt/2qPAkxJ PHOENIX  — Luka Doncic was in total control, getting into the lane when he wanted, getting the shots he wanted and getting the ball to teammates in places where they could do some damage. Because of that, the Dallas Mavericks got the result they wanted with a 120-113 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night. Doncic tied a career high with 42 points. from Yahoo!

Bulls' Jim Boylen defends coaching style in rambling, movie-quoting exchange with media

https://ift.tt/2L79cRw If Jim Boylen sounds like a man grasping for anything to inspire confidence in his job performance, well, there might be a reason for that. The Chicago Bulls head coach is 23-55 since taking over for Fred Hoiberg in 2018, and his young, potential-laden roster has yet to show much — if any — improvement. Which is how you end up in the position where Boylen was after Friday's 107-103 home loss to a reeling Portland Trail Blazers team, quoting a movie about baseball ghosts to explain his reluctance to adapt his game plan with basketball players who are very much alive. from Yahoo!

MLB rumors: Yankees interested in trade for A's reliever Blake Treinen

https://ift.tt/2rGlFok On Tuesday, it was reported by The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal the A's are looking to trade three veterans: Jurickson Profar, Josh Phegley and Blake Treinen. It turns out the Yankees reportedly are interested in Treinen, Rosenthal reported Friday: It goes without saying the Yankees could afford the 31-year-old reliever, who has a projected arbitration value of $7.8 million. The A's probably wouldn't pay that price, especially given Treinen is coming off a difficult season. from Yahoo! Sports - News, Scores, Standings, Rumors, Fantasy Games https://ift.tt/2Ow5dQB

This is where Sean McVay can show true genius as Rams are stuck in wilderness of their own creation

https://ift.tt/2Dzf4Pr As Robert Griffin III trotted onto the field with over 12 minutes left in the Baltimore Ravens' blowout road win over the Los Angeles Rams last Monday night, you could feel the air change. The first three quarters of the affair had all centered on the NFL landscape's earned love affair with Lamar Jackson. With the Ravens passer out of sight on the sideline, the conversation slowly turned from magic to misery as our collective gaze went from the 40-plus points he piled on the Rams to the mere six their once revered offense mustered. from Yahoo!

"Keep the energy up," he said as Poole walked into his 20th appearance of the season.

Late in the second period, Marchand had an awkward collision with Rangers defenceman Jacob Trouba, but did not get pulled immediately.

Week 13 Best Bets
