Just a few years ago, it seemed that NASCAR's fad of "road course ringers" — drivers from other racing disciplines who would cross over to race the tracks with both left- and right-hand turns — was dead. The days of Boris Said, Ron Fellows and Scott Pruett mixing it up with Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart were over, and no one was here to replace them.Ever since the series added an influx of road courses to the schedule in 2021, however, the ringer trend has seen a full revival. That has continued this year, with two major names from overseas...

Jokic did it all for the Nuggets in Game 3, finishing with 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists in Denver's 109-94 win. Denver stole back home court advantage behind the Joker's monster effort, which included 12-of-21 shooting, two blocks and some feather-soft precision passes for easy baskets.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love isn't going to be perfect, especially compared to his predecessor, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was known for his uncanny ability to rarely throw interceptions — sometimes to the detriment of the offense's production.Love was drafted by the Packers and tabbed to be Rodgers' successor because of his athleticism as well as his "gunslinger" mentality. The Packers are hoping he'll be more Patrick Mahomes and less Brett Favre in that regard, but that doesn't mean Love won't throw picks and make errors.Love, unfortunately, made such a mistake in a recent OTA, though.
