Jason Kelce on the impact of more creative offensive schemes: "The scheme can be great, but it's going to be really hard to win a Super Bowl with the coach out-scheming. At the end of the day most of the Super Bowls are won with quarterbacks and players on the field."

Brooks Koepka has spent the last 2 Signature Events waiting at the course as the first alternate for a potential spot in the field, but it didn’t come. He explained his motivation to do that ahead of the Myrtle Beach Classic: “So, listen, the way I look at it is I'm itching to get in, but I'm accepting of where I'm at, and I understand that there's prices to pay for coming back, and I'm willing to accept those and whatever I have to do. “I knew this year was going to be challenging to even get in them. I kind of thought maybe by around U.S. Open, but to know that I'm kind of knocking on the door already is a good thing. Just the answer to everything is play better, and you're in.” Then he followed up by talking about the opportunity this week in the opposite field event: “Yeah, no, it's a great opportunity. I think the stretch that I've got, I've got three in a row here. Hopefully I can improve on my position, my standing and see where it's at. Like I said, good golf takes care of everything else, and hopefully will be in them soon enough.” Brooks starts the first leg a of triple header with the PGA Championship next week and then the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. He’ll be looking for a good run to help qualify for the remaining Signature Events of the season and the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Brooks Koepka PGA Tour

As President & Co-Founder of Liberty City Optimist, this one is special… Salute to Lavonte David on an incredible career. I remember him as a young kid in our program at just 4 years old — and I remember his family even more. His father, Mr. Ed, never missed a practice when I came back to coach at the park. That kind of love, discipline, and consistency built the man we see today. Lavonte, you are everything our program stands for — class, character, work ethic, and leadership on and off the field. From Liberty City to JUCO to Nebraska to becoming one of the best to ever do it… that journey is what greatness looks like. My brother, you didn’t just make it — you made us proud. You represent the very best of Liberty City Optimist Warriors. Whatever comes next, we already know it’s going to be great. And your parents are proud of you, son. Never forget, you will ALWAYS have a home with us. We love you. Nothing but respect. Nothing but class. 🏆💪

Mike Dunleavy Jr. says the Warriors are looking for more scoring, better offensive punch, and to bring back some unrestricted free agents: “To be honest, getting Yaxel is a guy that we feel like can plug in and just fill a lot of gaps for us in our lineup. If you look at the players we have on our roster, here’s a guy that can play multiple positions, fit right in there at one of the toughest positions to guard in the league, and that’s not very readily available in the trade market or in free agency. So, not having to overly address that is key. We’ll go into free agency, and we’ll look for some scoring, some better offensive punch, and then look to bring back some of the guys that are unrestricted free agents for us. Obviously we got Steph coming back. He’ll still be great. Jimmy’s going to miss some time, but yeah, we have to find a way to get more guys to get the domino to fall and break down the defense. I think we’ve got really good players once that happens that can play off that, cut, move, pass, and Yaxel, he’ll fit right in that regard. And I think he’ll be able to provide some offense for us too, but that would be a heavy load as a rookie in the NBA to expect too much there. But I think he’ll do all the other things.” (via NBC Sports Bay Area & CA with Bonta Hill and Monte Poole)

"OG, there's more to life than basketball!" –– OG Anunoby's 8th grade teacher Suzanne Luther On Monday as the Ogugua "OG" Anunoby Court was unveiled at his alma mater Jefferson City High School, Luther formally apologized to the NBA champion for uttering this blasphemy 15 years ago 😂 "It haunts me to this day," Luther said OG accepted her apology "I moved to Jefferson City when I was 4," OG said in his speech. "I'm blessed to have grown up around so many amazing people" "I played college basketball at Indiana…made the NBA and won 2 championships with the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks." "But it all started with the people who believed in me in Jefferson City, supporting me from day one.” "OG thought he was a baseball player," one of his coaches Jordan Chapman said. "Actually I'm pretty sure OG still thinks he's a baseball player." "When they see OG on the screen and what they hear about him…it's true, it's who he really is," Chapman said. "The person is a million times better than the basketball player," another coach Ray Hughes said. "His character, who he is and what he stands for. That's what I'm so honored to be a part of." OG was also presented with his old violin, which he signed and will now be put on display in the orchestra room. The court is where OG played and returns each summer to host a free basketball camp for boys and girls

I VEHEMENTLY disagree with Paul Finebaum’s criticism of Coach Deion Sanders, Sheduer Sanders and Colorado. He called them irrelevant and that they don’t matter to College Football. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Colorado is very relevant and broke TV viewership records last year even after their 3-0 start that saw them finish the year 4-8. They out drew some of the biggest brands in all of College Football last year. Their blowout loss to Oregon had 10.03 million viewers, which topped the Notre Dame-Ohio State game. Shedeur Sanders stated that Colorado is everyone’s Super Bowl game when they play them. HE IS CORRECT, if you take the time to understand what he meant. Every team that played Colorado last year played their hardest against them because they knew everyone was watching and it was their opportunity to shine in front of the masses. It wasn’t JUST ABOUT winning, they wanted to humiliate them and kill their confidence. It pains many that Coach Prime, his sons, Travis Hunter, his coaches and all his players are still walking in their purpose and have never wavered for a second. They know the mission they are on and won’t back down in the face of adversity. Colorado wasn’t an “Easy win” last year for anyone except Oregon and Washington State. 5 of their 8 losses were by one score or less. Colorado making the College Football Playoff AT SOME POINT in Deion Sanders’ tenure would be a great thing for College Football. Not just for the increased viewership, but because taking a program that last won a Conference Championship when Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter weren’t even born yet would be an incredible accomplishment and rebuild. Colorado doesn’t have to go to the College Football Playoff this year and will still be relevant. Teams will be jumping out of their skin to get after them a little extra because they think they are too confident. Coaches will up the passion because they believe they deserve the attention and eyeballs that Coach Prime and Colorado demand. Like Coach Prime said, he is analyzed different and his wins are measured differently. One thing is for sure though. Coach Prime is building something at Colorado and as an analyst, I don’t think we should be trying kick him and his team down because they are confident and believe in themselves. They are great for College Football because they are different. Different might make people uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Here is our full First Take segment together where Paul Finebaum speaks his mind and I speak mine too.

Chicago Bears: The Deep Ball Façade As a Chicago Bears truther, I gotta keep it 💯 There are many Bears fans posting “Amazing” out of the pocket deep ball highlights of Caleb Williams Obviously, we don’t see those kinds of throws everyday. It’s insane!! But deep ball playmaking isn’t new to Chicago. Nor is it the focal point of Ben Johnson’s offense. If the Bears are going to be great, we have to become more efficient from the pocket. Pass percentage must go up, time in pocket must come down. Living outside the pocket will hinder our ability to be efficient and to win a Super Bowl #1 Deep Ball was always there Justin Fields in 2023 had one of the most efficient deep balls in the league. Not only that, the majority of his deep balls came from the pocket which is what you want from your QB. As good as the Bears were as a whole last year, the deep ball was far more efficient in 2023. But living on the deep ball and living out the pocket comes with limitations. We have to focus on the fundamentals #2 Ben Johnson is the catalyst Similar to 2023, Bears offense in 2024 had explosive plays followed by inconsistent offense and inept situational football by the head coach Poor offensive line, poor offensive scheme, and inept head coach were the core issues. Ryan Poles thought QB was the main issue and then 2024 happened. We learned quick that it takes more than a talented QB to win football games. Ben Johnson has alleviated all of those concerns. He has made Bears offensive line the focal point! His scheme has been top of the league since he became OC in Detroit. And his situational football awareness far superior than Eberflus. Bears fans must recognize that Ben Johnson is the catalyst of the Bears offensive turnaround, and team success. Now give him what he needs! He wants 3 tight ends? Give it to him He wants more Luther Burden? Give it to him He wants more efficiency out of his QB? Let’s make that the focal point.. #3 Ben Johnson needs a point guard at QB Efficiency in the pocket, time to throw, and passing EPA are far more important to Ben Johnson’s offense than out of pocket deep balls. We need Caleb to be that killer still, but it’s the fundamentals that will allow Bears to take the next step. This offense doesn’t need a Michael Jordan at QB. Ben Johnson would much rather have an Isiah Thomas at QB because this offense has enough Bad Boys to get the job done. Feed the WRs! Get the ball out of your hands quicker! Allow deep ball to be the counter punch of the offense. #4 It’s all there.. The pre-snap awareness, post snap awareness, efficiency from pocket, and pass velocity all scream franchise QB. When you look at Caleb Williams in the pocket on short to intermediate passes, it looks effortless. The ball leaves his hand lightning quick, it’s placed where it’s supposed to be, and WR is able to make a play after the catch. We have to see more of this and it starts now. CW has to trust Ben Johnson’s offense and his WRs more. Conclusion: If we wanted a QB to scramble and throw deep balls, Justin Fields would still be a Chicago Bear What makes Caleb unique, is that he can be a hunter down the field but also has the upside to be a Drew Brees type of QB in the pocket. I rather see more clips of Caleb playing in rhythm and in the pocket , than deep bombs out the pocket. There will be struggles, but that’s ok. I much rather see our QB struggle making the right throws in OTAs than masking it with his gift as an out the pocket thrower.
