It appeared Stephon Gilmore and the Panthers were close to reuniting after the draft. Six weeks later, the cornerback remains a free agent. “Being patient right now,” Gilmore said during the red carpet of Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony, via Nick O’Malley of masslive.com. “I feel good. Year 13, been playing a long time. So, I’m just being patient and waiting for the right opportunity.”

Chiefs’ latest ring might have a typo

Matt Araiza, the strong-legged punter whose career was derailed by a sexual assault accusation, appears poised to win the Chiefs’ punting job for the 2024 season. The Chiefs cut punter Ryan Rehkow, which leaves Araiza as the only punter on their roster. It’s still possible that the Chiefs could bring in another punter to compete with Araiza, but it looks like Araiza is going to be the Chiefs’ punter when the regular season starts.

Under the NFL’s new kickoff rule, returners will have a better chance to make big plays, and touchbacks will go to the 30-yard line. Which means some teams will simply decide to boot the ball through the end zone, rather than risk giving up a long return. As the...

Dallas, TX

Dallas just reminded everyone why they are in the NBA Finals. The Mavericks are a very good team and came out and played with a desperation the Celtics did not come close to matching. Luka Doncic led the way with a dominant performance — 29 points, five rebounds and five assists, and those numbers would have been a lot higher if he had not been pulled with 1:29 left in the third quarter because the game was over. Kyrie Irving added 21 points and six assists.
