According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Bulls big man Andre Drummond is “looking for a new team” this summer. What remains to be seen, however, is what direction do the Bulls go? Do they prepare for DeMar DeRozan possibly leaving in free agency or if he does return — the more likely scenario — draft his heir apparent at the small forward position? Do they grab a big to replace the expected vacancy with Andre Drummond looking for a new team, as well as some youth to push starter Nikola Vucevic?

There was a lot of hype surrounding Mario Hezonja after he was selected fifth overall in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic. The Croatian was unable to reach expectations, and many believe he flamed out of the league after just five seasons. Now 29 years old, Hezonja last...

The Orlando Magic were arguably the biggest surprise in the Eastern Conference this past season. Due to their youth, the Magic were considered to be one year away from being contenders in the East. However, the Magic produced their best season in over a decade, finishing fifth in the conference at 47-35, though they fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs.

According to Bleacher Report, the Detroit Pistons could target Los Angeles Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell in free agency. With ample cap space and a desire for veteran leadership, the Pistons are poised to make significant moves. Despite a tough start to the 2023-24 season, Russell rebounded strongly, silencing trade calls from Lakers fans. He finished the season with impressive averages of 18.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 6.3 assists on shooting splits of 46/42/83. His potential acquisition could bring the experienced leadership the Pistons need to guide their young roster.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips is no longer in Missouri but it still has two free-standing locations in Ohio. It once was a large chain across the country. I still recall the one off of 71 Highway in Kansas City, Missouri that used to be behind the once-popular Truman Corners Shopping Center. It was my mother's go-to spot for fish & chips. That was a long time ago.

The off-season is undefeated. Despite recruiting wins, massive transfers, and over a dozen NFL-ready players returning, there is a loud sect of Buckeye fans who are ready to chuck Ryan Day into the Olentangy. After losing three straight to Michigan, watching the Wolverines win the National Title, and then have an embarrassing showing in the Cotton Bowl, frustrations are running high. To get the people riled up, some have suggested Deion Sanders to be the next Ohio State head coach.

As former All-Star Jeff McNeil struggles to break out of his season-long slump at second base, the New York Mets may be looking to add a promising star to help or maybe even replace McNeil. This situation is difficult for New York, but making a move would give the Mets a chance to play a future talent continuously. Whether that addition comes internally or externally is another matter.

After wrapping up Spring practices, the Florida Gators are entering a pivotal year three under Billy Napier. With back-to-back losing seasons, fans are growing anxious, and Napier’s seat is beginning to heat up. The good news is that the Gators brought back a slew of young talent from last season. Playing out an inspiring Spring Game (the Orange and Blue Game) led many fans to be optimistic. Returning starting quarterback Graham Mertz should keep the offense humming despite the loss of receiver Ricky Pearsall. This is a team with plenty of young talent, who simply lacked experience in the SEC. After an impressive Spring, fans have now grown even more excited thanks to some stellar transfer portal additions. Adding three players with the potential to start from day one, things are looking up for this Gators team. Week one will be an early indication of the direction of this season.

The Pistons have made a change to their coaching staff. No, it’s not the change you’re thinking about. On Friday, the Pistons strategically hired Fred Vinson, a seasoned Pelicans assistant coach, to join Monty Williams’s staff. Vinson brings a wealth of experience, having spent the past 14 seasons with the Pelicans, including five seasons as an assistant under Williams (2010-2015). Vinson’s close connection to Pistons’ President Trajan Langdon enhances his potential influence on the team. This move also suggests that Williams will get at least one more season to prove he’s worth the $78.5 million contract he signed in the summer of 2023. So, who is Fred Vinson, and what can he bring to this Pistons team?

In order to keep their goaltending core together, the St. Louis Blues need to extend Joel Hofer. Doing it now can save them money.

Mike Leach was an innovator. He transformed the way football is played. Leach was an outlier, unconventional. We all know he had a complex history. Leach said what was on his mind and didn’t care or was concerned if you were offended. Last week, National Football Foundation president and CEO Steve Hatchell questioned Leach’s Hall of Fame status. In a recent interview with CBS Sports, Hathcell stated that Leach would need a waiver to enter the College Football Hall of Fame.
