It’s been a long time coming, but better late than never.From 1935 to 1995, Philadelphia Eagles uniforms were always Kelly green. Team owner Jeffrey Lurie, more specifically his wife, preferred the darker midnight green shade and made the switch in 1996.Philly fans never fully embraced the Seahawks-esque color and have been waiting for a return to Kelly green...

Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles delivered a strong message to critics of quarterback Russell Wilson. "He's a great dude, he's the same guy every single day, he works his butt off,'' Bolles said about Wilson on Thursday, per Jeff Legwold of ESPN. "And I'm ready for that stuff to go away and when it goes, everyone's going to eat crow."Wilson joined Denver from the Seattle Seahawks last offseason and then experienced a campaign he and just about everybody associated with the team would prefer to forget. According to ESPN stats, the 34-year-old finished the 2022 regular season ranked 31st among...

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.

Most of the team will be going on summer break this weekend; here are some quick observations from the past three days.The Lions' offense is currently in the process of coming together.

Rookie Christian Braun was so good in Game 3, Jeff Van Gundy learned to say his name correctly.Braun — pronounced like "Brown" — had 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting off the bench. 11 of those points came in the second half, when Braun went 5-of-6 from the field. He also had an assist, two tough rebounds and a steal he took in for a monster dunk.

The Boston Red Sox benched outfielder Alex Verdugo for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Guardians after he failed to hustle on the bases Wednesday night. With Boston trailing, 5-2, Verdugo failed to run hard from first base on a slow chopper hit by teammate Masataka Yoshida and was easily thrown out at second base.He was removed from the game prior to the eighth inning, with manager Alex Cora confirming before Thursday's game that he was benching Verdugo for another game for that play. Here is a look at the play in question.

Everyone knows that it’s not easy to get a job if you’ve been convicted of a crime. Of course, not all crimes are equal either, so it’s unfair to lump all criminals in to the same bucket. Thankfully, in Tulsa, there are quite a lot of employees who will not judge felons based on their history and will truly give people a second chance at finding work.

The Denver Nuggets are one win away from winning the franchise's first Larry O'Brien Trophy. On a night when star Nikola Jokic and point guard Jamal Murray combined for 38 points, two improbable heroes picked the Nuggets up. Aaron Gordon and Bruce Brown steadied the ship, helping lead the Nuggets to a 108-95 Game 4 win and a commanding 3-1 series lead in the NBA Finals. Gordon finished with a team-high 27 points, shooting 11-of-15 from the field with three three-pointers. Meanwhile, Brown came off the bench and tallied 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting, nailing three triples of his own. The Heat held...

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...

There was a bizarre moment during Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night when MMA fighter Conor McGregor was brought out to promote a pain relief spray that had him punch Burnie, the Heat mascot. After McGregor delivered his first punch as part of the skit he delivered another one to Burnie on the ground and then sprayed him with his pain relief spray as Burnie was dragged away.The only problem is that McGregor's initial punch actually injured the person inside of the Burnie costume, and according to The Athletic's Sam Amick resulted in them being taken to the...

The NBA hasn't seen a player like Nikola Jokic before. The Finals have never seen a stat line like he put up in Game 3.
Nikola Jokic has the first 30-20-10 game in NBA Finals history, per @ESPNStatsInfo. (Blocks weren’t an official stat in the Russell/Wilt days.)— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) June 8, 2023
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.

San Diego, CA

It has been nine years since San Diego Padres infielder Manny Machado won a Gold Glove, but plays like the one he made Saturday afternoon are a big reason why he is a two-time winner of the award. With the Padres protecting a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning against the Colorado Rockies, pinch-hitter Mike Moustakas hit a pop-up foul ball down the left field line. Machado not only showed incredible range to run it down, but also managed to make a juggling catch after the bobbling the ball two times and falling to the ground. Have a look.

With former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore out and head coach Mike McCarthy in as offensive play-caller, many have wondered what a new-look Dallas Cowboys offense will look like.If you ask quarterback Dak Prescott, McCarthy is keeping many of the same formations and schemes Dallas ran last season under Moore. However, he’s adding a West Coast flare, which changes, in Prescott’s estimation, roughly 30 to 35 percent of the offensive scheme."This is the 'Texas Coast,'" Prescott told reporters on Wednesday. "We just renamed that, the quarterbacks. It's got definitely some West Coast principles but has a little bit of what we've...

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is known as a bit of a prankster.So when President Joe Biden stepped away from the White House podium during the Chiefs’ visit to Washington, D.C., earlier this week, Kelce seized his moment with an empty podium and a live microphone. Fortunately, quarterback Patrick Mahomes intervened before Kelce did anything disconcerting.But during the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast that Kelce hosts with his brother Jason, the All-Pro tight end admitted what he really wanted to say to the crowd before Mahomes ushered him away.“Obviously, the President at the podium, it’s iconic,”...

Nikola Jokic picked up his fourth and fifth fouls within 17 seconds of each other. Miami couldn't make Denver pay.Jokic was whistled for an offensive foul with 9:41 to go in the fourth quarter and then almost immediately picked up No. 5 while jostling with Bam Adebayo.

Adebayo clearly exaggerated the contact, but he got the call and Jokic went to the bench. Nuggets coach Michael Malone could have challenged, but instead, he trusted his reserves.Aaron Gordon came in for Jokic and 36-year-old Jeff Green stayed in the game. He rewarded Malone's faith by hitting...

Deion Sanders has made himself the focal point of the Colorado football program, and not everybody likes it. Sanders, meanwhile, has no time for that criticism, and pushed back at Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi for calling out his strategy for reshaping the Buffaloes roster. Narduzzi said in May that Sanders' approach with Colorado — that has seen dozens of scholarship players transfer and leave the program — was a bad look for college football and that he was not sure that it was going to work out, while the reflection was all on one guy (Sanders).In an interview with 247Sports, Sanders was...
