The Utah Utes enter Big 12 basketball this coming season and will be looking to regain some of that basketball success they’ve had off and on throughout the years.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Bulls big man Andre Drummond is “looking for a new team” this summer. What remains to be seen, however, is what direction do the Bulls go? Do they prepare for DeMar DeRozan possibly leaving in free agency or if he does return — the more likely scenario — draft his heir apparent at the small forward position? Do they grab a big to replace the expected vacancy with Andre Drummond looking for a new team, as well as some youth to push starter Nikola Vucevic?

As former All-Star Jeff McNeil struggles to break out of his season-long slump at second base, the New York Mets may be looking to add a promising star to help or maybe even replace McNeil. This situation is difficult for New York, but making a move would give the Mets a chance to play a future talent continuously. Whether that addition comes internally or externally is another matter.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

The off-season is undefeated. Despite recruiting wins, massive transfers, and over a dozen NFL-ready players returning, there is a loud sect of Buckeye fans who are ready to chuck Ryan Day into the Olentangy. After losing three straight to Michigan, watching the Wolverines win the National Title, and then have an embarrassing showing in the Cotton Bowl, frustrations are running high. To get the people riled up, some have suggested Deion Sanders to be the next Ohio State head coach.

Kelsie Maureen Clutter didn’t have to die. “​​Just one phone call could have saved her life,” said her friend, Danika Stone. Clutter started getting sick a lot around age 18 after graduating high school, Stone said. At the time, she thought of it as a recurring cold, but in retrospect, it was more likely withdrawal from opioids.

According to Bleacher Report, the Detroit Pistons could target Los Angeles Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell in free agency. With ample cap space and a desire for veteran leadership, the Pistons are poised to make significant moves. Despite a tough start to the 2023-24 season, Russell rebounded strongly, silencing trade calls from Lakers fans. He finished the season with impressive averages of 18.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 6.3 assists on shooting splits of 46/42/83. His potential acquisition could bring the experienced leadership the Pistons need to guide their young roster.

The Toronto Blue Jays announced that they designated DH Daniel Vogelbach for assignment on Friday. It brings an end to his short tenure with Toronto, which didn’t last half a season. In 31 games this year, Vogelbach had a .186 average with one homer, eight RBI, and a .578 OPS. For someone added to the roster for his pop, those numbers were nowhere near satisfactory for Toronto. In a corresponding move with Daniel Vogelbach’s DFA, the Blue Jays recalled the young shortstop Addison Barger from Triple-A Buffalo.
