Lincoln, NE

Nebraska fans had high hopes for the Scott Frost era after the former championship-winning quarterback came to Lincoln fresh off a perfect season with UCF. But following a horrific 16-31 run in fewer than five seasons -- the program's worst stretch in 60 years -- the Cornhuskers are starting from scratch once again.

Tom Brady is looking to be a champion in pro basketball. On Thursday, Mark Davis, the owner of the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA, announced that the seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback has acquired an ownership interest in the franchise. He was first introduced to the Aces when he attended a game on May ...

The Comeback 

The Denver Broncos received terrible news on the status of one of their budding wide receivers. KJ Hamler recently sustained a partially-torn pectoral muscle. Hamler, a prospective fourth-year wide receiver out of Penn State, will miss significant time this off-season after he underwent a surgical procedure. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported the news on Thursday morning. Read more...

Kevin Garnett has never been known as the forgiving type. He still has not allowed his jersey to be retired by the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a longstanding feud with the franchise's outgoing owner, Glen Taylor. And that isn't even Garnett's most famous beef. That honor belongs to former teammate Ray Allen.

Arizona State

Nashville, TN

Daley agreed to terms with the Cardinals on a two-year deal Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Daley started 15 games for the Titans last season while Taylor Lewan was out with a knee injury, and the 26-year-old will now head out west to sign with Arizona. The 2019 sixth-round pick can play both tackle and guard and should provide solid offensive line depth for the Cardinals next season.

Cardinals' Dennis Daley: Headed to Arizona

Powell agreed Wednesday with Minnesota on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Powell appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Rams in 2022, totaling 24 receptions on 32 targets for 156 yards while rushing 17 times for 80 yards. He also complied 605 kick-return yards and 177 punt-return yards. With Adam Thielen off to Carolina, the No. 3 wideout spot behind Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn appears to be open for competition. Powell could have a chance to carve out a solid offensive role, though he may be valued mostly for his ability to contribute on special teams, both as a return man and in kick coverage. Powell is unlikely to unseat Kene Nwangwu -- who has three career return touchdowns -- as the primary kick returner, but he should have a good chance to win the punt-returning gig over Jalen Reagor.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kelvin Sampson is not one for hyperbole. He is erudite, thoughtful, one hell of a basketball coach. Certainly not a purveyor of hot takes. Rewind Houston basketball nine years ago to 2014. That was Sampson's first year with the Cougars when, by the coach's own assessment, the program was "so Conference USA-ish."

Minnesota transferred Ryan to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday. Ryan made one appearance during his latest NBA stint, totaling just one rebound in three minutes. He figures to see extended playing time while with Iowa.

The 2023 Masters convene at Augusta National Golf Club just like the 86 others that preceded it ... except this one will be a bit different. One of the most famous golf holes in the world -- the par-5 13th, "Azalea" -- has received a massive makeover. Azalea has been lengthened from 510 yards to 545 yards for the 87th Masters and beyond.

San Antonio, TX

Collins (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Ty Jager of Fansided's Air Alamo reports. Collins took a seat for the first half of San Antonio's back-to-back set for rest purposes, but he'll be back in action Wednesday. The versatile center has appeared in seven of the Spurs' first 10 March contests, averaging 19.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 29.6 minutes.

Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told reporters after Tuesday's game that Suarez has a chance to make the Opening Day roster after a strong showing in spring training, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Suarez threw 1.1 innings of scoreless baseball during Tuesday's Grapefruit League appearance, and he hasn't given up a...

Hudson was optioned to Triple-A Memphis by the Cardinals on Tuesday. Hudson had allowed six earned runs on 17 hits and four walks through 8.2 innings this spring in Grapefruit League play, which works out to a 6.23 ERA and 2.42 WHIP. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a 3.14 ERA across his first 249.2 major-league innings between 2018-2021, but the underlying metrics have always been poor and his stock continues to drastically tumble. He'll presumably work out of the rotation with Memphis.

Lynch was removed from Kansas City's Cactus League game against San Diego on Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. Lynch seemed to know something was wrong immediately after throwing a pitch, pointing at his shoulder and motioning for a trainer to come onto the field. The team will look at his shoulder and provide further updates, but early signs are not reassuring for the 26-year-old lefty.

Liberatore was optioned to Triple-A Memphis by the Cardinals on Tuesday. St. Louis has enjoyed a fairly healthy spring, which means that Liberatore will head back to the minors to work on his craft. Adam Wainwright, Miles Mikolas, Jordan Montgomery, Jack Flaherty and Steven Matz will make up the season-opening starting rotation for the reigning NL Central champs.

Atlanta, GA

Rosario appears locked into the starting role in left field for Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. The 31-year-old outfielder underwent laser eye surgery last year and struggled to pick up the ball after his return, but he's appeared to be something close to his old self at the plate this spring, rapping out his first extra-base hit Monday in Grapefruit League play (a double off the Rays' Zach Eflin) after going 3-for-17 with two homers and a double for Puerto Rico during the WBC. Rosario was a big part of Atlanta's postseason run in 2021, winning the NLCS MVP after slashing .271/.330/.573 over 33 regular-season games, but his career .270/.305/.462 line is a more realistic goal over a full campaign if he returns to form.

Washington, DC

Carlson (fractured skull) is expected to return to action Thursday versus Chicago. Carlson suffered the gruesome injury three months ago. He was practicing with a red jersey Thursday, indicating he will quarterback the first power play. Carlson has eight goals and 21 points in 30 games this season. Look for Rasmus Sandin to quarterback the second power play, when Carlson returns.

Capitals' John Carlson: Expected to play Thursday

Seattle, WA

Sherwood netted a goal in Nashville's 2-1 shootout win over Seattle on Thursday. Sherwood has four goals and nine points in 20 appearances this season. Three of those markers -- along with two assists -- have come over his last seven contests. Sherwood averaged just 10:04 of ice time over his first six games in 2022-23, but that jumped to 13:17 over 13 outings from Feb. 26-March 21. The 27-year-old logged a season-high 16:01 versus Seattle.

Austin, TX

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Dylan Disu sat sprawled out in a hallway outside the Texas locker room Saturday night. Braced against a wall, he checked his phone for the incoming love. The No. 2 seed Longhorns had just advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time in 15 years. In their 71-66 victory vs. No. 10 seed Penn State, Disu scored a season-high 28 points and a lot of folks were thinking the same thing. It took a nearby reporter to ask it.

Texas is tougher under interim coach Rodney Terry and making him the permanent coach should be an easy choice
