ESPN reported that federal prosecutors alleged in a court filing that Terry Rozier and a co-defendant planned a betting scheme centered on “unders” for another Hornets player's performance. The co-defendant allegedly told an outside gambler about the plan. The filing is part of an ongoing NBA betting investigation, and the claim is an allegation rather than an adjudicated finding.
The case matters because it suggests investigators are looking at player-performance manipulation, not just bets placed by outsiders. “Unders” bets on player props are a known red flag because a player can influence them by underperforming or leaving a game.
The viral Kenneth Walker image was AI-generated, not a photo of an actual statue. The Kansas City Star reported it was an AI image of Walker breaking tackles that set off a social-media debate over AI photos; there was no real statue controversy. This is a reaction/hypothetical about Isaiah Thomas mentoring Darius Acuff Jr. after a reported Gabe Vincent-Kings meeting. It's framed as a question, not a checkable factual claim.
Early in the 2026-27 NBA season, Dylan Harper was shooting 76.9% at the rim, the best mark among guards with at least five rim attempts per game.
On Nov. 11, 1990, Chiefs Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas set the NFL record with seven sacks of Seattle QB Dave Krieg. On the final play, Krieg avoided a potential eighth sack and hit Paul Skansi for the winning touchdown in Seattle's 17-16 victory. This is BetMGM promotional betting data, not a news claim requiring a fact-check for the show. This is a subjective quarterback power-ranking column, not a factual claim.
ESPN reported via sources that first baseman Jake Bauers agreed to a four-year, $58 million contract with the Boston Red Sox after a career season with Milwaukee. It was not yet official.
Tennessee running back Daune Morris sustained non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg, in a car accident Friday morning, according to the school and ESPN.
MThe NBA posted on X that the Spurs have won ten straight after an oh-and-two start.
LOnly the second team ever to do that, or something like that?
MCorrect. Top five on both ends, second in the West. This is not a cute streak.
LWembanyama has gone from fun to flat-out terrifying.
MI still need to see them against a real contender.
LThey play Golden State tonight. That's a real test.
MThe Warriors are older and banged up. I want OKC or Denver.
LOh come on, you can't dismiss ten straight after an oh-and-two start. That's history.
MI'm not dismissing it. I'm just not crowning them in November.
LFair. Tonight's Cup game is huge though. Nine-thirty Eastern on Prime.
MIf they get eleven, then we talk.
LAnd can we talk about Wemby's defense? Top five both ends starts with him.
MNo doubt. But the offense still runs dry late in games.
LThey're top five in offense too. You keep ignoring that.
MI'm not ignoring it. I'm saying the playoffs expose half-court offense.
LThey're not a half-court team. They run, they move, they punish.
MAgainst who? The bad teams in the West?
LTen straight in the West is not nothing.
MFine. Beat the Warriors tonight, and I'll tip my cap.
LI'll hold you to that.
LMeanwhile, Adam Schefter posted on X a photo of a Kenneth Walker statue... except there is no statue.
MHe got got by AI.
LThe Kansas City Star tracked it down. It was an AI-generated image of Walker breaking tackles. Not bronze, not real.
MAnd the replies are treating it like Monument Park.
LOne fan says 'this is monumental.' Monumentally fake.
MThat's the problem now. AI photos fool even the biggest insider in football.
LIf Schefter can get fooled, we all can.
MLesson: don't tweet the statue before you check the plaque.
MJohn Frascella posted QB power rankings on X, and this list is a crime against Patrick Mahomes.
LHere we go.
MJosh Allen one, Burrow two, Jordan Love three. Mahomes is FOURTH.
LI don't hate Love over Mahomes right now.
MJordan Love over Patrick Mahomes? Be serious.
LPower rankings aren't career rankings. Right now, Love has been more consistent.
MMore consistent than the guy winning every week?
LKansas City wins ugly. Half the time it's the defense carrying them.
MNo no wait— Mahomes makes that offense go. They don't win without him.
LI'm not saying he's bad. I'm saying fourth behind Allen, Burrow, and Love isn't crazy.
MIt's engagement bait. Mahomes has the track record; Love has one big season.
LTrack record doesn't win this week's game.
MSo you'd take Love in a playoff game over Mahomes tomorrow?
LToday? Maybe. That's what power rankings mean.
MThen your power rankings are broken.
LAt least we agree Allen's number one.
MAllen one, yes. Mahomes fourth? No chance.
LYou're too loyal to the past.
MAnd you're a prisoner of the moment.
LMaybe. But the moment is all that matters in sports.
MNot when you're ranking quarterbacks. History has to count.
LFine. Put Mahomes three, not four. Happy?
MBetter. But Burrow at two? That's a whole other fight.
LWe don't have time for that fight.
MWe always have time for that fight.
