This is diabolical': Cam Ward's sister forced to issue statement on harassment and threats to Titans QB originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . Now through 20 career games, Cam Ward has flashed plenty of talent for the Titans , though Tennessee's rebuild remains a clear work in progress. With the Titans still winless after a loss to the Giants in Week 3, there remain close eyes on Ward's development as the 2025 No. 1 pick.

Brian Windhorst skeptical OKC ownership will pay to keep Thunder together

-
Image
In his 90-minute 2026-27 preseason press conference, Sam Presti addressed the impending cloud that will hang over the Oklahoma City Thunder . As several core pieces embark on their second NBA contract, will Clay Bennett and the rest of the ownership group fork over the money to field a title contender? Remains to be seen. Presti is optimistic, but he left himself some wiggle room in case the Thunder don't. Thanks to some savvy cap-space trickery by moving on from three longtime role players, OKC was able to kick the can down the road on a dreadful second-apron year. Right now, the Thunder are $6.9 million below the second apron. All it cost was moving on from Lu Dort, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins — a quarter of OKC's rotation minutes, as Presti pointed out multiple times. Now, with a roster spot to spare, they'll enter the 2026-27 season as co-title favorites. Zooming out, though, what about beyond that? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams are about to...

Sam Presti has interesting theory on polarizing 3-2-1 NBA draft lottery odds

-
Image
One of the more radical changes in recent NBA history will be implemented in the upcoming 2026-27 regular season. To fight off the self-proclaimed tanking epidemic, Adam Silver and the Board of Governors have completely shaken up the usual NBA draft lottery odds formula. Now, there's really zero incentive to bottom out. In fact, it's the opposite. The draft lottery will expand from 14 to 16 teams. The seven best teams that do not qualify for the postseason will receive three lottery balls. The bottom three teams in the standings will only get two lottery balls. The No. 9-10 play-in tournament teams will get two lottery balls apiece. And the No. 7 vs. No. 8 seed play-in tournament game losers will get three lottery balls apiece. Got all that? It can be a bit confusing to properly understand, but the gist of it is the worse your record is, the fewer lottery balls you'll receive. And teams will now have even more incentive to advance in the play-in tournament. Either they clin...

News May Change Everything for Red Wings

-
Image
IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect A couple of Friday news reports have the potential to alter what the Detroit Red Wings lineup may look like next Friday on opening night. First, hockey insider Elliotte Friedman reported that Dylan Larkin has expanded his list of acceptable trade destinations to eight teams and Tampa Bay, Washington, Colorado and Dallas are presumed to be on the list. Florida, Vegas and Minnesota were the three original teams. Friedman also said on his podcast that there are no Canadian teams on Larkin’s new list. If only Larkin’s original list was in place, there appeared to be no real opportunity to get anything done in the near future. The new list creates the possibility of getting a deal done quickly. Larkin is the team’s only productive offensive center and the Red Wings have made it clear they must receive players who can help the team immediately to fullfil Larkin’s trade request. Meanwhile, coach Todd McLellan confirmed that Larkin won’t play the team’s final p...

Case Keenum moves closer to start vs. Eagles as Bears QBs miss practice

-
The Philadelphia Eagles are another day closer to preparing for Case Keenum as Chicago’s starting quarterback on Monday night. Caleb Williams, dealing with a hamstring injury, and backup Tyson Bagent, who is in concussion protocol, were both listed as not practicing Friday on the Bears’ injury report . Neither participated Thursday, either, although Chicago’s Thursday designations were estimates because the team did not practice that day. The Bears have not ruled out either quarterback. Coach Ben Johnson previously described Williams’ injury as week-to-week, and Bagent must clear concussion protocol before he can play. If neither is available against Philadelphia, Keenum would be next in line. The 14-year veteran has made 66 NFL starts, but has not appeared in a regular-season game since 2023. #Bears Injury Report pic.twitter.com/9YzmYdYkK2 — Bears Communications (@BearsPR) September 25, 2026 A quarterback change would affect how the Eagles prepare, particularly against a Chicago o...

Packers Coach Makes Head-Scratching OL Comments Before Falcons Game

-

Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich. Getty The Green Bay Packers have decisions to make about their starting offensive line before kicking off Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons, but their logic isn’t any easier to follow after their offensive coordinator’s latest comments. The Packers have been forced to adapt at left guard over the first two weeks of the season with veteran starter Aaron Banks on the mend with knee and toe injuries, but the real-scratcher has been them starting Donovan Jennings over rookie Jager Burton. Jennings took snaps with the first-team offense toward the end of training camp, but Burton — a 2026 fifth-round pick — had rotated in with the starters throughout the summer, raising questions when Jennings started over him in the season opener. Those questions only grew louder when Jennings struggled in the opener and finally reached fever pitch in Week 2 when Jennings went out with an injury and Burton replaced him at left guard,...
