David Adelman is getting the interim part of his job title removed and will become the full time Nuggets HC

The one player per country is REALLY gonna piss people off because Justin Jefferson is already the US rep (I guess technically Jefferson could decide not to play but that would be really really awkward if he didn't)

Re: Stan Verrett
He confirmed the news on Twitter basically saying that his life is in LA now and with the closing of Sportscenter LA he wasn't gonna relocated

I’m so glad I gave up on the Knicks 20 years ago so the Pacers can’t hurt me anymore

That's bizarre as hell. The Bills and Eagles over the last three years have combined to run the tush push more often than the other thirty teams in the NFL combined. They are far and away the two teams that use it the most, and the best.
Yeah in the story about tempers flaring at the meeting it was mentioned that Bills owner Terry Pegula acknowledged that his team was good at the play but he still wanted it banned (there was no follow-up explanation as why though)
But yeah - apparently Jeffrey Lurie pissed everyone off by talking too long and for the language he used
And side note - again for reasons not explained, Jason Kelce was brought in to discuss the tush push in more details for a players perspective which lead to owners being all HOLY SHIT! MAYBE WE SHOULD TALK TO PLAYERS MORE!
QuoteMultiple sources noted to Pryor that it was refreshing to hear about a rule and its impact from a player's perspective, and it could lead to more players weighing in on significant potential rule changes.

And the NFC East will be the focus of the in season Hard Knocks
-
In an outstanding troll - the Eagles immediately posted a 26 minute video to YouTube that was nothing but tush pushes

Ran a security update this morning - it obviously broke more things than it fixed
I think I was able to fix things but if you had to log-in when accessing the board - that was probably the reason why

A gaming CEO said "If you are a real fan, you will find a way to pay $80 for a video game"
Why of course that CEO was Randy Pitchford... did you even have to ask?

The Athletic today has a story that confirms that Jordan Hudson was the reason the UNC Hard Knocks was killed (amongst other issues)
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/sports/bill-belichick-age-girlfriend-jordon-hudson.html
QuoteThis winter, producers at N.F.L. Films decided that a new season of its sports docuseries, “Hard Knocks,” would focus on Mr. Belichick’s efforts to build the U.N.C. football program ahead of the 2025 season. HBO agreed to air it.
But days before they were set to announce the series, Ms. Hudson demanded she be granted content approval and partial ownership of the show, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized by producers to speak to a reporter.N.F.L. Films pulled the plug.
The producers later learned that Ms. Hudson was also in negotiations with another production company, EverWonder, to make a similar series, according to the person familiar with the situation. Ian Orefice, the chief executive of EverWonder, declined to comment.
By the spring, Ms. Hudson was focused on applying for a slew of trademarks for phrases associated with Mr. Belichick’s leadership of the Patriots, including “No Days Off,” and “Do Your Job” — presumably to parlay them into content and merchandising opportunities
Trouble is, the Patriots have held the trademarks on these phrases for years. So Ms. Hudson took a page from Ms. Swift, who rerecorded some of her albums as “(Taylor’s Version)” after her original recordings were sold without her involvement or financial participation.
Ms. Hudson applied for trademarks on “No Days Off (Bill’s Version),” and “Do Your Job (Bill’s Version),” among several others.
Ms. Hudson’s role in Mr. Belichick’s affairs truly exploded into public view last month, when CBS News aired its interview with Mr. Belichick. “We’re not talking about this,” she interjected sternly when the reporter Tony Dokoupil asked him how the romance began.

Kolton Wong retired over the weekend saving me from the yearly dance of considering adding him to my fantasy team when it inevitably gets ravaged by injuries

Per Adam Schefter - NFL owners are expected to approve today the ability for NFL players to play flag football in the 2028 Summer Olympics
Gonna be real interesting to see the loop holes nations use to fill out their rosters with nothing but NFL players

Nah - most Bungie folks started bailing earlier this week when it came out that most of Marathon's art style was stolen from an independent artist
Which led to the most awkward developer live stream in a long long time on Friday

I will put this here for lack of a better place
Charter Communications and Cox Communications are merging
It is a merger of the 2nd and 3rd largest US Cable companies (and technically its Charter acquiring Cox)
They will use the Cox Communications name for the company however will use the Spectrum as the brand name for the service folks get (basically anyone currently with Cox will switch to Spectrum and its pricing structure)

Notably, the Colts tried to do this same gimmick, but had to delete their video. It's assumed to be because the Miami game featured a Dolphin wearing a #10 jersey was being arrested by police.
Not assuming - the Colts released a statement saying that was why and apologizing to Microsoft and Tyreek
(Because as you can imagine - Microsoft wasn't thrilled with being associated with that)
-
Obviously this is only possible now because interleague play is common but - the Red Sox will become the first team in history to face the two reigning Cy Young winners on back to back nights
Tarik Skubal tonight and Chris Sale tomorrow

Kings have hired Ken Holland as GM

The full Giants schedule has leaked (honestly I am assuming you can find every team's schedule at this point)
Their bye isn't until Week 14. Looking at said schedule I figure they will be 2-11 going into the bye - it is that fucking brutal

The Canucks are hiring Adam Foote

Per reports - the Flyers are going with Rick Tocchet
