DeAndre Hopkins knows a lot about being an NFL wide receiver. He’s had seven 1,000-plus yard seasons in 11 years as a pro, including in his Tennessee Titans debut last fall. The five-time All-Pro currently ranks 21st in NFL history with more than 900 career receptions. He’ll have the opportunity to bolster his Hall of Fame case in 2024 alongside new Titan Calvin Ridley and former first round pick Treylon Burks.

The USC Trojans are not viewed as a top-20 college football team by any of the major national outlets or publications. There is profound and prevailing skepticism about this team’s ability to handle what will be a rough Big Ten and national schedule. If you’re looking for a small bread crumb of national recognition, you have to search for it. ESPN isn’t exactly pouring on lavish praise, but at least it has included USC in its post-spring top-25 rankings … at No. 25 on the list.

After defeating the Nuggets in a wild Game 7, the Timberwolves will officially head to the Western Conference Finals. Following the improbable comeback win over Denver, Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards appeared on TNT’s postgame coverage of the game. During this exchange with Barkley, the Inside the NBA host said that he had not been to Minnesota in approximately twenty years (which may not be true).

Anthony Edwards had the best response when Charles Barkley asked what to eat in Minnesota

After a hysterical comment from Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards, former NBA great-turned-broadcaster Charles Barkley actually made the trip to Minnesota.
Barkley was spotted in Minneapolis by a Twitter (X) user, as Edwards told him to “bring ya ass” to the state after Barkley claimed he’d not been there in 20 years (which was not accurate).
A comedian turned Edwards’ very funny quote into a URL that redirected to the Explore Minnesota tourism site, and Barkley has indirectly listened to Edwards to explore what Minnesota has to offer.
We say “indirectly” because Barkley will most likely be on-site with TNT for the first game...

Auburn, AL

Auburn baseball experienced a disappointing season in 2024 by finishing with a 27-26 record and missing this week’s SEC Tournament with an 8-22 mark in conference play. Pitching played a major role in Auburn’s struggles this season as the team finished near the bottom in several categories within the SEC including ERA (5.94), opposing average (.286), strikeouts (466), and hits allowed (517). Head coach Butch Thompson, who is known for his success as a pitching coach, understands that his team needs enhancements to perform at a higher level, and will do whatever it takes to make it happen.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

After showing interest in four-star recruit Malachi Moreno for months, the UNC basketball program is taking the next steps in his recruitment.

Moreno is one of two players to earn an offer from the Tar Heels on Monday, joining shooting guard Braylon Mullins. Both offers came just a few days after the Tar Heels were on the recruiting trail watching prospects during the open period.

Michigan football isn’t exactly bereft of talent, but it certainly isn’t in the same stratosphere as some other programs. When you look at Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, LSU, and others, they have as many five-stars on their rosters as schools like Michigan has four-stars. Yet, it was the Wolverines who hoisted the national championship trophy last season, while the others sat at home and watched the game on TV.

The 2024 college football season will be fascinating for a lot of reasons. Conference realignment will be a huge story. So will the 12-team College Football Playoff. USC will be in the Big Ten. Oklahoma will be in the SEC alongside Texas. The Big 12 will look very different. Another huge new component of the 2024 college football year will be the use of direct coach-to-player communication via helmet. One player on each team can receive helmet communication on the field.
