I spoke to OJ Simpson's former Buffalo Bills teammate - Hall of Fame offensive guard Joe DeLamielleure - about Simpson's death at age 76 from cancer.
Turns out that Joe D and OJ had spoken by phone not long ago.

The #Panthers running back group has carried over to a clean slate with a new offensive coaching staff.

Asked Luka about playing against Grant for the first time since the trade and what they're getting from PJ.

'I think you see what PJ brings. But Grant is a great guy. We have a good relationship. Outside, some people say we don’t. But we have (one).'

Asked Steve Clifford about being honored tonight:

Luka ends his night with a 39-12-10 triple-double in Charlotte; Mavs are gonna win this one by about 20. Final home game for lame-duck Hornets coach Steve Clifford doesn't go well.

Seth Curry found this Hornets jacket in his Dad's closet this week and asked if he could wear it to the last Hornets home game of the season.

Per Dell Curry on Bally Sports: Hornets

In 9 minutes (!) so far in Charlotte, Luka Doncic has had what many NBA players would consider a fine game:
21 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. He's absolutely toying with the Hornets.

And for good reason. Men’s game was kinda boring - I watched it, on and off, for about a half. UConn just too dominant. No real suspense.
Was glued to every dribble in women’s game.

At the Hornets' home finale, where Luka Doncic is making Brandon Miller look like a rookie so far. With Miller primarily the one guarding him, Luka has 16 points in the game's first 8 minutes. Dallas leads Charlotte, 26-13.

So well-deserved. Bill Plaschke is one of the greats - and a great guy to boot.

All right, please allow me one Dad brag.

The verb “announced “ is acceptable when referring to an announcement.
Generally avoid wording such as “claimed,“ “admitted,“ “conceded,“ etc., which can sound loaded or judgmental.

They called her “Title IX” because she was that important to the game…

While wide receiver is the popular need for the #Panthers , it isn’t the only major hole to fill on the roster heading into the draft.
