Last weekend, Los Angeles and New Orleans agreed to a blockbuster trade that will send Anthony Davis from the Pelicans to the Lakers in exchange for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three first-round picks — including the rights to this year’s No. 4 overall pick. New Orleans then traded the No. 4 pick to Atlanta just minutes before the start of the draft. Sounds simple enough, if not for the NBA’s “colorful” collective bargaining agreement that delays potential trades and signings during this portion of the offseason and creates some awkward pictures of draft picks in hats of teams they’ll never play for....

After months of widespread speculation and lengthy negotiations a deal has been struck and Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling has finalized his transfer to the Etihad Stadium. The 20-year-old, who has been at the centre of this summer’s biggest transfer furore, has been bought by Manchester City for a record-breaking fee of £49 million. Sterling has now controversially become the most expensive English player of all time which begs the question, why are English footballers so expensive?...

In recent times, the allure of playing on the grandest stage in football has led to some footballers suddenly declaring their allegiance to another country and it seems to have become more common. One of the highest profile examples in the past few years was Diego Costa, who swapped Brazil for Spain, but he is by no means alone. Some other examples include Nabil Bentaleb, who declared for Algeria after playing for France at youth level and Nacer Chadli, who now plays for Belgium despite featuring for Morocco....

The National Football League recently released updated protocols for teams to follow as training camp approaches for the new season.

“D’Angelo Russell doesn’t fit there whatsoever. They just wanted to make sure they did not see Kevin Durant, arguably the best player in the league when healthy, walk out the door for nothing. They got a 23-year-old All-Star, and they will trade him. It’s just a matter of when,” New York Times reporter Marc Stein said Monday on “The Dan Patrick Show.” MORE: Tracking every 2019 NBA free agency move...

Hunt has been with the Browns since 2019 and has been a key part of the team’s running game. He has served as a high-quality No. 2 runner behind Nick Chubb and plays a key role for the team as a pass-catcher out of the backfield. Hunt becomes the third notable Browns player to request a trade over the last calendar year. Odell Beckham Jr. was released by Cleveland in November after the team was unable to find a suitor for him before the 2021 NFL trade deadline....

The Panthers announced on Wednesday that they were releasing Patterson from their 45-man roster and practice squad. The team also parted ways with safety Orion Stewart, as it announced on Twitter. Patterson appeared in five of the Panthers’ six games and started all but one of them. As such, some might be surprised that the team moved on from him.

Given the colossal failure that was Chicago’s season, it always seemed likely that heads were going to roll.

These characters are often more manipulative, charming, and can often lead normal lives. This general understanding does apply fairly well, especially for those characters that have reached popularity. RELATED: Netflix’s YOU: 10 Things That Don’t Make Sense About Season 3...
