- Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker Charles Snowden has been suspended for the first three games of the 2026 season. The reason for the suspension was not stated, but Snowden reached a plea agreement in January to resolve a DUI arrest from 2024 when he played for the Las Vegas Raiders.
- “When West Covina edged Bonita in the Southeast championship game I recall seeing both teams in the LA Times top ten. D2 or D3 at least. That game was the best high school game I ever saw. Standing room only crowd and teams that played their hearts out. Maggiore vs Podley-Medrano”. – MVS Commenter “The Old Pro.”
- “You’ve got to realize that in any competition there is always a winner and loser. When it turns out that you’re the loser on a given day, you can be a graceful loser, but it doesn’t mean that you’re a loser in the sense that you’re willing to accept losses readily.” – Nolan Ryan.

It is a fact that the Lakers did not make an offer to LeBron to continue with the team, which means he was made aware that Los Angeles was moving on. His Royal Highness understood as much the day Luca Doncic was signed. Byron Scott, speaking on a popular podcast, has also revealed that 10 years ago, teams were calling Rich Paul about getting James, but now it is Paul making the enquiries.
It’s sad that this former star thinks he can make demands of teams, when he has deteriorated into a backup player, useful off the bench, but definitely not loved for all the demands and commotion he makes. Put into context, if this guy does win another title in whatever time he has left, he will be remembered most for his hubris, not for his record.
