***Top Sports Headlines***
>>Report: NFL Eliminating Pro Bowl Game
(Undated) — The NFL is eliminating the Pro Bowl game while keeping the annual honor for the league’s top players. The Athletic reports league executives presented the change to team owners Wednesday after years of experimenting with tackle, flag football, and skills competitions. Eighty-eight players will continue to be selected through voting by fans, players, and coaches, but alternates will no longer be recognized. Pro Bowlers will instead be invited to Los Angeles for an in-person celebration in February. NFL officials said the change aims to restore meaning to the honor after growing numbers of replacement players and declining interest in the event.
>>NFL Owners Approve Record Seattle Seahawks Sale
(Atlanta, GA) — NFL owners are approving the record sale of the Seattle Seahawks to an ownership group led by the Khosla family. Multiple reports say league owners unanimously approved the deal Wednesday during a special meeting in Atlanta. The decision clears the final major hurdle before the sale can be completed. The Khosla group agreed in July to buy the team from the Paul G. Allen Estate for an NFL-record deal worth more than nine-point-six-billion-dollars. The sale is expected to become final within the next week, ending 29 years of Allen family ownership. Neeru Khosla will become the Seahawks’ new controlling owner, while her son, Neal, is expected to have a significant leadership role with the franchise.
>>Signs On Jim Brown Statue Call Out Deshaun Watson
(Cleveland, OH) — Browns fans are voicing their displeasure with the organization. Signs have been taped to Jim Brown’s statue outside Huntington Bank Field criticizing the team for having quarterback Deshaun Watson on the roster despite being accused of sexual assault. One sign read, “280-million-dollars. 27-plus victims. Zero supporters.” Head coach Todd Monken announced earlier this week that Watson will enter the season as the starting quarterback.
>>Eagles Owner Named To Team Hall of Fame
(Philadelphia, PA) — Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is being honored for his three-plus decade stewardship of the franchise. The team announced yesterday that Lurie will be inducted into its Hall of Fame during the Monday night game against the Dallas Cowboys on October 26th. Lurie has owned the Birds since 1994, overseeing the franchise’s two Super Bowl titles.
>>Report: Timberwolves Sign Jonathan Kuminga
(Undated) — The Timberwolves are adding to their roster. According to ESPN, free agent wing Jonathan Kuminga agreed to a two-year, 12.4-million-dollar deal with Minnesota. The deal includes a player option on the second season. To complete the transaction, the Timberwolves will work through trade scenarios with reserve wing Josh Green or, if they are unable to find a landing spot, waive and stretch him before the Saturday deadline.
>>Pelicans Adding Mathurin On Two-Year Deal
(New Orleans, LA) — The New Orleans Pelicans are adding to their young core, signing swingman Bennedict Mathurin to a two-year, 16-million-dollar deal. The 24-year-old is coming off a stellar season, averaging a career-high 17.6 points and 5.4 rebounds a game for the Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Clippers. ESPN reports the deal keeps the Pels below the luxury tax line while giving Mathurin an easier path to unrestricted free agency.
>>Texas Tech Earn Two Commitments
(Lubbock, TX) — Texas Tech is securing a pair of notable players for its football program. ESPN reports five-star defensive tackle Jalen Brewster re-affirmed his commitment to the Red Raiders on Wednesday. He’s the top-ranked recruit in the 2027 class. Meanwhile, veteran quarterback Tommy Castellanos announced his commitment to the team. He’s entering his fifth season and is expected to back up Will Hammond.
>>Tour Championship Preview
(Atlanta, GA) — Tommy Fleetwood is looking to defend his title at the PGA Tour Championship. Fleetwood won last year’s tournament by three strokes after finishing atop the leaderboard at 18 under par. The 35-year-old will be alongside Ludvig Aberg for the first round. Tom Kim and Ryan Fox will be the first group of players teeing off round one at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
>>Fever Host Sun Tomorrow
(Indianapolis, IN) — The Fever return to the hardwood tomorrow. Indiana is hosting the Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Fever are coming off a big win over the Chicago Sky, which was the most watched regular season WNBA games since the inaugural season.
