Mickey Loomis doesn't get it.The longtime Saints general manager spoke on WWL radio in New Orleans on Wednesday and expressed disappointment by the sea of silver and blue in the lower bowl of the Caesars Superdome during Sunday's 33-28 Lions win."That's disappointing...But I understand the economics of it...season tickets are expensive and you can't go to every game...But I was a little caught off guard," said Loomis, seemingly unaware that fans aren't bothered by paying for season tickets but are instead fed up supporting one of the most disappointing teams in the league.

Iowa star Caitlin Clark is making a case for being one of the best college basketball players, male or female, ever. In No. 4 Iowa's matchup against rival Iowa State on Wednesday, Clark became only the 15th player in NCAA history to surpass 3,000 career points. Meanwhile, the milestone helped Clarke accomplish an impressive first. According to ESPN, Clark is the only Division I player, male or female, to record 3,000 points, 750 rebounds and 750 assists. Fittingly, Clark crossed the 3,000-point threshold on a three-pointer.

It's not often that the North Carolina State Wolfpack find themselves in the news for a recruiting win. That's not to say NC State doesn't have good players, but rather, top recruits in the region tend to go elsewhere if they're wanting to play big-time ACC football — such as to Clemson or even North Carolina.With that said, head coach Dave Doeren is coming off a 9-3 regular season that saw the Wolfpack win five in a row, including wins over Clemson and North Carolina. NC State is hot, and as such, Doeren's program just received a big-time win on...

The Chicago Bears have an excellent chance to get the No. 1 overall pick for the second year in a row. In his latest 2024 NFL Mock Draft, CBS Sports Ryan Wilson has the Bears trading that pick for the second year in a row. The Bears are positioned to get the No. 1 pick in 2024 as a result of their trade of the top pick a year ago when they sent it to the Panthers for a package of picks (and wide receiver D.J. Moore) that included the Carolina's 2024 first-round pick. The Panthers made the trade to select quarterback...

As baseball's winter meetings are in full swing, the question on everybody's mind is which team free-agent two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani will sign with. Up to this point, there has mostly just been speculation about Ohtani's free agency. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported earlier in the offseason if visits between Ohtani and a team are made public, "it will be held against the team." However, on Tuesday during his media availability at the winter meetings, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was surprisingly candid about his team's pursuit of the secretive star."I like to be honest," Roberts said. "Yeah, we met with Shohei, we...

No offense to the winter meetings, but there has to be some very — and we mean very — big news looming for baseball to be getting as much attention in December as football or basketball.

Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky said Monday that Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is bussing migrants into Aurora and buying them hotel rooms. Jurinsky made the revelation toward the end of the meeting during council report period. “I have a report that I would like to bring to the people of Aurora,” Jurinsky said. She went on to explain how Denver, a so-called sanctuary city, is bussing migrants out of its boundaries and into Aurora. She said one of her employees who was living at the Quality Inn at Mississippi and Abilene was tossed onto the street because of the incoming migrants. Jurinsky alleged the contract with the hotel doesn’t even have Denver City Council approval yet. She said the mayor must have thought this would fly under the radar. “Little did they ever think there would be an employee of a sitting council member” displaced. She called her employees “hard-working American citizens.” She said her employee and his husband lived at the hotel with their service animal for about a year.

Denver bussing migrants to Aurora, council member Jurinsky alleges

The Denver City Council will consider again Monday extending the mayor’s emergency declaration over homelessness. In reality, Denver is facing two emergencies – the matter of the unhoused population that’s already here, and the issue of migrants from south of the border that have come flowing into the city. From December 2022 to August 2023, the Denver mayor declared an emergency around the migrant influx. The situation with the migrants is even more urgent now. Migrants who have timed out of the city’s shelter system are living on the streets in tents. Many are families with young children and pregnant mothers.
