Former Clemson wide receiver Martavis Bryant will look for a new opportunity in professional football.
According to multiple reports, Bryant has been cut by the Cowboys, ending his time in Dallas. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero did note that team’s are interested in Bryant, meaning he has a strong chance of returning to the NFL with another team.
After completing 44 games with the Steelers and Raiders from 2014 to 2018, Bryant, a seasoned veteran, took time away from football for almost five seasons following a suspension. His return to the field came through a tryout with the Cowboys, with the organization liking what they saw from the wide receiver. Bryant recorded 145 catches for 2,183 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns while playing for the Steelers and later the Raiders.

We love monitoring any former Ohio State football players even if they departed via the transfer portal and Kory Curtis is the newest former walk-on to finally get a shot in the NFL. The former preferred walk-on was a Buckeye for two seasons in 2017 and 2018, where he saw no game action.

SANTA ANA, Calif. – A 33-year-old Phoenix man has been convicted of murdering four men in a failed attempt to take over the drug business that left three of the men shot to death, their bodies set on fire inside of a burning car left abandoned in a residential neighborhood in Orange in the middle of the day in 2015.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Just when everyone thought Tom Izzo may just get Frankie Fidler and be done in the transfer portal, it appears that the Spartans are making a move for a center in the transfer portal. According to reports, Michigan State may be in the lead for a center transfer from Longwood.
Szymon Zapala, a native of Zaborze, Poland, is a 7-foot tall, 240 pound center. After spending three seasons at Utah State, he spent this past season with Longwood, averaging 9.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in only 16.8 minutes per game.
Aside from Michigan State, it is known that Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Rhode Island, VCU and Wichita State were all involved with the big man.

Hearing Szymon Zapala appears headed for Michigan State… URI and Wichita St. were right there, coming down to P5 NIL advantages. Rams remain in mix for other bigs and swing types.

When Ohio State football landed a transfer commitment from Syracuse safety, Ja’Had Carter, many believed the former Freshman superstar would have a big impact in Columbus. Unfortunately for both parties that never transpired, and Carter once again entered the transfer portal following the conclusion of spring practice. It’s clear that he wanted to make it work out with the Buckeyes, but the transfer addition of Caleb Downs and with Lathan Ransom returning, playing time was going to be hard to come by. Injuries had an impact on Carter seeing the field with the Buckeyes as well.

It's not unusual for old Florida buildings like Kmart and Golden Coral to be demolished to be repurposed for other things. And now, a Florida Burger King has been torn down for a somewhat surprising downsizing reason.
