The senior's mother, brother and grandfather were killed in the shooting that erupted while he was playing a Senior Day game with his Blackstone Valley Co-op teammates at Rhode Island's Dennis M. Lynch Arena last month. Police identified Robert Dorgan as the shooter who killed ex-wife Rhonda Dorgan and son Aidan Dorgan on Feb. 16 in the stands. Authorities say the shooting was targeted.

The players arrived at LoanDepot Park in Miami sporting a distinct matching look: game-worn USA men's hockey sweaters from this most recent Winter Olympics. According to Fanatics, which provided the jerseys through its memorabilia arm, the look was coordinated through a behind-the-scenes connection between Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes, both Fanatics partners and members of their respective Team USA squads.

While it can be difficult to play The Traitors as a Faithful with few allies, it's a relatively good position for a Traitor: Rob was able to murder without guilt or context. While the fellow players tried to talk themselves into a grand theory of gamers and/or Housewives betraying one another, Rob kept things close to the chest - developing relationships in thoughtful, quiet ways but always willing to turn his back on his friends when the timing was right.

After 18 weeks of the NFL regular season, the moment is almost here. The Super Bowl represents the pinnacle of pressure. For the athletes that take the field, it's the moment they've been waiting for. The culmination of years of preparation for that one game. There is little margin for error and the moment is unforgiving. Yet, the psychological demands of Super Bowl game day aren't as unique as we think.

The older I get, the more profoundly I appreciate that, when I'm writing about sport, I'm also writing about love. This makes perfect sense given these are mankind's two greatest inventions and the stuff we can least do without, but there's more to it than that: sport and love are both expressions of identity, creativity and devotion, pursued because they are right but also because it's impossible not to.

FOUR MONTHS AFTER the Philadelphia Eagles lost Super Bowl LVII, Cam Jurgens glanced at the team schedule and came upon something that stopped him. "Ring Ceremony." It was June 2023, and Philadelphia still wasn't over its 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. "What the hell is the ring ceremony for?" Jurgens, then a second-year offensive lineman, muttered. "We lost."

There were some really tough times for my family and I. The tough times had the ultimate reward as Kupp became a two-time Super Bowl champion. Cooper is an absolute force multiplier, an absolute stud of a person, stud of a teammate, Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said. This should cement him in the Hall of Fame, in my opinion.

He never started at Narbonne until his senior year. His football coach, Manuel Douglas, remembers a meeting with Nwosu, who wanted to give up the sport. "Coach, I'm not going to make it in football," Nwosu told him. "What are you an idiot?" Douglas said. "You're 6-2 and too small for basketball." Douglas said, "He always had the grades. He just had to wait his turn. He had a moment he was going to quit and I wasn't going to let him."
