They are returning Reggie Bush's Heisman...time to put the #FabFive back into the history books, too. @JalenRose Chris Webber, @JuwanHoward Jimmy King and Ray Jackson changed college hoops forever.

"Personally, I’m thrilled to reunite with my fellow Heisman winners and be a part of the storied legacy of the Heisman Trophy, and I’m honored to return to the Heisman family,” 14 years later, Reggie Bush will finally be getting his Heisman Trophy back. bit.ly/49RdDby

If you're an NBA fan, last night was one of the greatest nights we've seen in playoffs history. The Knicks scored 8 points in 27 seconds to beat the Sixers. The Nuggets came back from being down 20 to win on Jamal Murray's last second shot. The NBA- it's faaantastic! IYKYK. 🏀

Kyle Lowry is a master flopper who, in his mind, has also never committed a foul. 🙄

So the Broncos scapegoated Russell Wilson, cut him, and ultimately paid him roughly $38 million to play for the Steelers. And Denver's plan was to trade for....Zach Wilson?

Since @23XIRacing made its NASCAR debut in 2021, the team has had 5 victories. Unfortunately, owner Michael Jordan hasn't experienced a win in person. But on Sunday, his Airness was at Talladega & was able to celebrate win number 6 with his team. Story: bit.ly/4a38OMN

In 2021, Tennessee St. started talking about starting an ice hockey team. In 2022, the Tigers announced they were launching a team, the first in HBCU history. Late last week, the Tigers hired Duanté Abercrombie as the first hockey coach in HBCU history. bit.ly/4b6NXZA

Caitlin Clark is a WNBA rookie who just signed a signature sneaker deal. A'Ja Wilson is a 2x WNBA MVP and 2x WNBA Champion, but she has yet to get a signature shoe. In her latest @letisha122 discusses the Black women marketability issue in sports. bit.ly/3W5dY7y

Jalen Hurts has continued to give back to the city of Philadelphia since being drafted by the Eagles. This week, he donated $200k to provide air conditioners to schools in the city. bit.ly/3xKPh68

The wildest thing about Keith Jackson's career was that he never had more than 20 catches in a season at Oklahoma (they ran the wishbone). But after the Eagles selected him with the 13th pick in 1988, he had 81 receptions as a rookie and became a 5x Pro Bowler (3x All-Pro). ✊🏾

The NCAA has approved a two minute warning in the 2Q and 4Q and the usage of sideline tablets and helmet communication technology in the FBS. But they still won't get rid of the stupid jump ball-possession rule in basketball?! 😤

30 years later, "Illmatic" remains on repeat. And AZ's verse on "Life's a b***h" is still one of the greatest openings in hip-hop history. Happy 30th "Illmatic." 🔥🔥✊🏾

After all he's endured, it's great to see former Alabama star running back Trent Richardson back in football, this time coaching high school players. Congrats coach Richardson! 👏🏾👏🏾

Earlier this week, Caitlin Clark signed a shoe deal with Nike, making her one of only four WNBA players to have a signature shoe. And that, writes @letisha122 sparked a debate over the marketing of Black sportswomen. bit.ly/3W5dY7y

Greg Hardy and Myles Bridges both got second chances to play after being involved in domestic violence incidents. But Jontay Porter, who deserves to be punished, was banned for life from the NBA because of sports betting. We discuss the hypocrisy. bit.ly/3JIVdiZ
