Breece Hall takes shot at Jets’ spending

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

New York Jets running back Breece Hall has taken note of the team’s spending on the first day of legal tampering in free agency.

The Jets used the franchise tag on Hall after the two sides failed to agree to a long-term contract. That did not stop the organization from spending big to start free agency, as the team traded for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and signed edge rushers Joseph Ossai and Kingsley Enagbare and linebacker Damario Davis to contracts. Fitzpatrick was signed to a $40 million extension, while the other three players signed for a combined $68 million.

That left Hall wondering when he might see some of that money.

“Damn we sure got a lot of money in Florham Park all these contracts dudes signing,” Hall wrote on X.

Hall is not upset that the Jets are spending money. He just wants to know why they were not willing to spend it on him. He did not seem particularly thrilled to get the franchise tag, which would pay him roughly $14.3 million. The fact that another back got $15 million a year on a long-term contract on the open market probably does not make him feel any better, either.

Hall totaled 1,415 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns last season. He was the subject of trade rumors during the campaign, and one has to wonder if he even has a long-term future with the Jets at this point.

Malik Willis lands $67.5 million contract in free agency

Quarterback Malik Willis has landed his starting job in free agency to go along with a hefty new contract.

Willis is signing with the Miami Dolphins as a free agent, according to multiple reports. He is getting a three-year deal worth $67.5 million, with $45 million of that guaranteed.

Willis joins the Dolphins on the same day they released Tua Tagovailoa and should slot in as the team’s new starter. This was an expected outcome, as Willis was seen as a good option by multiple quarterback-needy teams. The Dolphins always appeared to be the most logical landing spot, as former Green Bay defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is Miami’s new head coach. New Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan was also hired away from the Packers, where Willis spent the last two seasons.

Despite his inexperience as a starter, Willis flashed enough to convince teams he is worth a shot. In two seasons with Green Bay, he threw for 972 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions, and went 2-1 as a starter in place of Jordan Love.

Willis’ deal will pay him an average of $22.5 million per season. That is a lot less than what some rumors suggested he would be able to earn on the open market.

Kenneth Walker leaves Seahawks to join AFC team

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker is leaving the Seattle Seahawks to join another championship-winning organization.

Walker is signing a three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to multiple reports. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that the deal could be worth as much as $45 million.

The Chiefs are clearly trying to retool their offense, and Walker will be an enormous part of doing so. He should become their unquestioned No. 1 back and provide some consistency in a rushing attack that has struggled for consistency in recent years. The eventual presence of Patrick Mahomes will also be good for him, as defenses will have to watch for both the mobile quarterback and Walker.

Walker rushed for 1,027 yards last season, the second time in his career he topped the 1,000-yard mark. His real coming out party was during the playoffs, when he ran for 313 yards and four touchdowns in three games. The Seahawks opted against using the franchise tag on him, which would have allowed them to keep Walker for at least one more season.

The Seahawks will miss Walker, but already split his carries with Zach Charbonnet, who should immediately become the team’s clear No. 1 option. Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL during the playoffs, however, so Seattle will probably have to bring in a reliable option for next season.

Tua Tagovailoa is being strongly linked to an NFC team

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

One team has emerged as a clear favorite to sign Tua Tagovailoa following the quarterback’s release from the Miami Dolphins.

The Atlanta Falcons are being heavily linked to Tagovailoa, according to multiple reports. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that Tagovailoa is being viewed as an insurance policy for the team while Michael Penix Jr. recovers from a torn ACL.

The Falcons would be able to sign Tagovailoa for a minimum salary because the Dolphins will still be paying off the remainder of his contract.

For Atlanta, Tagovailoa appears to be a low-cost safety net to compete with Penix and allow the Falcons not to rush him back. While there may be other suitors, Tagovailoa was linked to the Falcons almost immediately, and they would appear to be heavy favorites to land him.

Tagovailoa has been linked to other teams as well. With Atlanta, however, he would be able to work with a well-respected offensive coach in Kevin Stefanski who might be able to help his career get back on track.

Tagovailoa lost his starting job in Miami last season after throwing 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 14 starts.

Victor Wembanyama’s casual admission will demoralize Spurs rivals

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Victor Wembanyama admitted that he just wings it sometimes.

Following Sunday’s game against the Houston Rockets at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, the San Antonio Spurs star big man was asked to explain a couple of his ridiculous shots in the contest, including the one where he made a tough one-handed shot in the third quarter.

“Yeah, I wasn’t expecting to palm the ball on the one-hand shot, but it’s just, I’m just freestyling sometimes,” Wembanyama said.

Wembanyama surely works hard on his craft and tries to improve his game in practice. But hearing him say that he experiments with his shots in live competition makes his existence as a basketball player feel even more surreal. 

There are just not many answers to a 7-foot-4 player who can do everything on both sides of the court and has the audacity to make moves on the fly.

Against the Rockets, the 22-year-old Wembanyama dropped 29 points on 9/13 shooting with 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 steals and an assist to help San Antonio score a 145-120 win.

With their win, the Spurs improved to 47-17 and stretched their winning streak to four games, which they will carry into Tuesday’s home meeting with the Boston Celtics.

Packers trade Rashan Gary to NFC team

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

The Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to another trade involving a defensive player.

Several months after the Packers shook the football world by acquiring superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons from the Cowboys, the two teams have agreed to a new trade that sends defensive tackle Rashan Gary from Green Bay to Dallas.

The trade was reported on Monday byAdam Schefter of ESPN, who later specified that Green Bay is getting a 2027 fourth-rounder in return.

Gary grabbed attention on Friday when he posted—and later deleted—a farewell message for Green Bay.

As it turned out, that post spoke the truth about Gary’s offseason fate, as he is now set to join former Green Bay teammate and veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark in Arlington. Clark was part of the package that the Packers sent to Dallas in exchange for Parsons in 2025.

The 28-year-old Gary is under contract through the 2027 NFL season. He signed a 4-year, $96 million contract extension with Green Bay in 2023.

In 2024, he earned his first (and still only) Pro Bowl nod, racking up 7.5 sacks and 15 quarterback hits in 17 games. The following season, the Michigan Wolverines football product produced 7.5 sacks and 20 quarterback hits in 16 games.

It remains to be seen whether the Cowboys will follow up the trade with another move to shore up their stop unit, but there’s still the looming NFL free agency for them to make some noise in.

Rasmus Dahlin had an amazing message after beating the Lightning

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Rasmus Dahlin is relishing the success the Buffalo Sabres are having in the 2025-26 NHL season.

The job is far from done for the Sabres, but for a franchise that is closing in on a sure spot in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2011, what Buffalo has accomplished thus far is giving Dahlin all the feels.

“It’s just finally. Finally, we’re here and doing good things, so I don’t take this for granted at all,” Dahlin told reporters after Buffalo’s 8-7 victory on Sunday over the Tampa Bay Lightning at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y, via Dom Tibbetts of 7 News WKBW. I’m so fired up, I’m so happy for the Buffalo, the city and all the fans.”

Dahlin, who had a goal and 2 assists against Tampa Bay, has every right to feel that way. Up until this season, he had never taken even a sniff of the playoffs since making his NHL debut in 2018. From the 2018-19 season to the 2024-25 campaign, Dahlin and the Sabres finished just fifth or worse in their division.

This time around, the Sabres are atop the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference with a 39-16-6 record (84 points).

With a seven-game winning streak, the Sabres will look to sustain their form on Tuesday, when they host the San Jose Sharks. 

Fans say the same thing after Michael Porter Jr.’s ‘toxic ex’ claim about the Nuggets

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Michael Porter Jr. got candid about his former team, the Denver Nuggets.

During a recent appearance on “The Emily Austin Show,” the Brooklyn Nets forward shared his true feelings about the idea of seeing the Nuggets win it all again, but without him.

Although he said he would be fine with the Nuggets claiming another NBA title, he’d also not be the happiest person because it would further vindicate Denver’s decision to get rid of him.

“I’d love it, and hate it, if Denver won,” the 27-year-old Porter said. “I’d love it because those are my friends. But I’d hate it because that means they got better without me. I’m like a toxic ex.”

At least fans appreciated his candidness about it.

The Nuggets parted ways with Porter following the 2024-25 NBA season, trading him to the Nets along with a 2032 first-round pick in exchange for forward Cameron Johnson. Porter’s departure hasn’t really hurt Denver, which remains a serious NBA title contender. Injuries have taken a toll on the Nuggets, but when fully healthy, there is a case to be made that they’re the best team in the league.

Porter, who helped the Nuggets win the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy in 2023, is having a career season in Brooklyn, where his green light to shoot never seems to switch off. But he’s also not going to win a title with the Nets this season, with the team still in rebuilding mode.

Dolphins make their decision on Tua Tagovailoa official

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

The Miami Dolphins have made it official: they are done with Tua Tagovailoa.

The AFC East club announced its decision to part ways with Tagovailoa, with Miami general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan releasing a statement on Monday.

“I recently informed Tua and his representation that we are going to move in a new direction at the quarterback position and will be releasing him after the start of the new league year,” Sullivan wrote.

As indicated by Schefter, the Dolphins’ decision to cut the former Alabama Crimson Tide star QB with a post-June 1 designation means Miami will be burdened with a record-setting $99 million in dead money. The Dolphins will absorb $55.4 million of that dead money in 2026 and  $43.8 million more in 2027.

Nevertheless, the Dolphins can now move on from their saga with Tagovailoa, as they look to kick off a fresh start. That dizzying cap hit proved to be a price Miami was ultimately willing to stomach just to reset things under center.

Miami was either going to trade Tagovailoa or release him. But attempting to trade such an expensive asset, with considerable questions about his health and future, made it difficult for the Dolphins to go that route.

In six seasons with Miami, Tagovailoa, who was the fifth-overall pick at the 2020 NFL Draft, passed for 18,166 yards and 120 touchdowns against 59 interceptions in 78 games, including 76 starts.

Video: Rickie Fowler jokingly tries to push a caddie toward an alligator

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Rickie Fowler gave a caddie quite a scare during the final round of the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Fla.

When a caddie tried to get a closer look at an alligator in the water, Fowler snuck up behind him and jokingly tried to push him in.

Here’s a look at what happened.

It was nothing but harmless fun between Fowler and the caddie, but one wrong step and things could have taken a wild turn.

Gators will always be part of Florida’s ecosystem, and that includes golf courses.

As mentioned on the broadcast, the moment was reminiscent of a moment in 2017, when Cody Gribble gave an alligator a tap that sent it splashing into the lake. Interestingly enough, that was also an Arnold Palmer Invitational in the same location. 

As for the performance of the 37-year-old Fowler, he finished tied for ninth at 8-under 280. He shot a 70 in the fourth round, but could have done much better if not for a double bogey on the eighth hole and a bogey on the 18th.

Nevertheless, Fowler still came away with his first top-10 finish in the 2026 PGA Tour season — and became richer by $578,000. He has been playing consistently this season, making the cut in all five of his starts so far. 

Nikola Jokic shares honest thoughts on potentially leaving Denver

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Nikola Jokic let his feelings be known about the idea of him leaving the Denver Nuggets.

The Serbian superstar, who has long been an elusive figure off the court, surprised fans with his insightfulness in an interview he did with European hoops figure Edin Avdic on the X’s & O’s podcast. Jokic got up close and personal with Avdic, who interviewed Jokic in his native Serbian tongue.

When asked about him potentially playing for another team aside from the Nuggets, Jokic unequivocally shut down the idea.

“I wouldn’t like to imagine that,” Jokic said, translated via DNVR. “Even if we never win anything else after this, an organic title, it means more to me than anything. I really found peace here. My two kids were born here. Everyone’s here. Peace, home, I found my life here. And I like life here. I don’t feel the need, I don’t have the urge to. We built something here, together as a team.”

Jokic seems to want to follow the Dirk Nowitzki model of sticking with one team for the rest of his career. With a championship ring already in his trophy case, Nikola already sounds content enough to ride out the rest of his days in Denver.

It’s always possible that Jokic changes his mind. Milwaukee Bucks big man Giannis Antetokounmpo, a European-born player himself, appeared to be headed down a similar path before his team’s recent struggles sparked trade rumors.

The Greek Freak has been vocal about feeling let down by a Bucks organization for which he won a title in 2021. However, the Joker appears to be in a league of his own when it comes to being content with where he’s at.

If anything, it’s amazing for Nuggets fans to hear (or read the subtitles of) a two-hour interview with Jokic, who has famously dodged the media every chance he gets. Reporters looking to get some airtime with Jokic may need to start learning to speak Serbian.

Fans roast Knicks star for laying goose egg against Lakers

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

New York Knicks fans lambasted Mikal Bridges on Sunday for his virtual no-show in Tinsel Town.

Bridges was a non-factor in the Knicks’ 110-97 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Calif. He was held scoreless across 27 minutes of action. He missed all six of his field goal attempts, including all four shots from beyond the arc.

Here’s Bridges’ full lowlight reel.

The Villanova swingman did record six rebounds and five assists, but that wasn’t nearly enough to appease fans in what was an ugly loss for the Knicks against a playoff-caliber opponent.

The memes were flying at Bridges’ expense on Sunday night.

Some Knicks fans straight up demanded that Bridges straight up be removed from the team after Sunday’s performance.

The Knicks infamously traded five first-round picks to acquire Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets, reuniting him with his former Villanova teammates, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and temporarily Donte DiVincenzo.

Bridges impacts the game in more ways than just scoring. He’s also one of the most durable players of all time, never missing a single game in his NBA career. But it’s fair for fans to expect that a player worth multiple first-round picks, let alone five, should never be held scoreless against an opponent that isn’t exactly stacked with lockdown defenders on the perimeter.

Bridges entered Sunday’s game against the Lakers averaging 15.5 points through 64 contests, Mikal’s lowest mark since the 2021-22 campaign. His scoreless outing hurt his average — and his reputation among Knicks fans — even more.

Ken Griffey Jr. turned heads with amazing photo he took as WBC photographer

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Ken Griffey Jr. appears to be all-world talented in whatever field he tries his hand in.

The Seattle Mariners legend has made waves in sports photography over the past few years, swapping his baseball glove for a high-end camera. Griffey was among the credentialed photographers for this year’s World Baseball Classic games held on U.S. soil.

Here’s Griffey holding up a camera large enough to resemble a small bazooka on Saturday as Team USA took on Great Britain in pool play at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.

Griffey was equally locked in during the Americans’ dominant 15-5 win over Brazil the night before. He captured an awesome moment of Kyle Scharber celebrating with Aaron Judge. The snapshot went viral on social media.

“The Kid” was no one-hit wonder either. He took several praiseworthy pictures during the contest.

Griffey has come a long way since becoming a meme at the 2022 Home Run Derby for taking photos with his bulky camera.

The 56-year-old isn’t just a baseball photographer, either. He had a media pass for Lionel Messi’s MLS home debut in 2023 and even brought his camera to the fairway for the 2025 Masters.

Drake Maye’s jersey choice at WBC game had Boston fans angry

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Drake Maye drew the ire of Boston Red Sox fans over the weekend when he was spotted rocking a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey while attending a World Baseball Classic game.

The New England Patriots quarterback and his wife, Ann Michael, were in attendance on Saturday for Japan’s WBC clash against Korea at the Samurai’s home stadium, Tokyo Dome. MLB’s social media accounts posted a photo of the couple, which showed Maye wearing what appeared to be a Shohei Ohtani Dodgers jersey.

Whoever was managing MLB’s social media accounts even dubbed Maye and his wife as “New England royalty” in the post’s caption.

Several Red Sox fans who saw the snapshot chimed in, calling for Maye to repent for the sports sin of supporting a team aside from Boston’s own.

The North Carolina alum was basically the king of New England throughout his near-MVP-caliber second season in the NFL. He and his wife also did their best to integrate themselves with the local community, which made them even more beloved off the field.

Maye might have been a healthy shoulder away from winning New England’s first Super Bowl since Tom Brady left. The man clearly has enough local cache for his reputation to withstand his act of baseball treason.

Raiders trade for Bills All-Pro who was about to be released

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

The Las Vegas Raiders are hoping to turn one team’s garbage into on-field gold.

The Raiders have reportedly acquired cornerback Taron Johnson from the Buffalo Bills, who were planning to release him before Las Vegas approached them with a deal. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Raiders are swapping one of their sixth-round picks for a Bills seventh-round pick to get the deal done.

The Bills picked Johnson in the fourth round of the 2018 draft and groomed him into the team’s starting nickel cornerback. But with the team shifting to a new defense next season under defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, Johnson became expendable. The team had been

Johnson was one of Buffalo’s most productive tacklers, averaging 89.5 tackles each season from 2020 to 2023. The Weber State alum earned a 2nd-team All-Pro nod in 2023. He spent less time on the field over the last two seasons due to injuries and a diminished role.

The Raiders’ trade for Johnson comes days after the Bills had already announced plans to release the 29-year-old defensive back. He was among four players Buffalo was expected to cut for cap-saving purposes.

Chargers sign Pro Bowler who played for Mike McDaniel

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

The Los Angeles Chargers are reuniting new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel with one of his former players.

The Chargers are reportedly signing fullback Alec Ingold to a 2-year contract worth $7.5 million. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Ingold’s $3.75 million annual salary ties him for the highest-paid fullback in the NFL alongside San Francisco 49ers veteran Kyle Juszczyk.

The Miami Dolphins had just released Ingold on Friday.

Ingold entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019, signing with the then-Oakland Raiders. The Wisconsin product spent three seasons with the team — a stint that ended when he suffered a torn ACL to cut short his 2021 campaign.

Ingold spent the last four seasons playing for the Dolphins under Mike McDaniel. The 29-year-old tallied 406 total yards and 3 touchdowns, earning his first Pro Bowl nod in 2023.

The Chargers have kept busy over the past week. The team signed center Tyler Biadasz to a $30 million deal on Friday, then later re-signed their 9-time Pro Bowler who some thought would retire.

Jazz Chisholm gets the memes after Great Britain’s World Baseball Classic stinker

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Jazz Chisholm failed to back up his talk during this year’s World Baseball Classic.

Great Britain was officially eliminated from WBC contention on Sunday with a 7-4 loss to Italy at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas. The defeat dropped them to 0-3 in World Baseball Classic play, slamming the door shut on the top-two finish in Pool B that Great Britain would have needed in order to advance to the knockout round.

The New York Yankees infielder Chisholm, who had served as the captain for Great Britain, received the brunt of the memes in the wake of his team’s early exit. Before the WBC began, Chisholm had stated in an interview that Great Britain was coming to “shock the world.”

In the end though, Great Britain finished the tournament winless and got outscored by a total margin of 24-7 across their three games of pool play. As a result, Chisholm got roasted into the next universe over social media.

It also did not help that the two-time All-Star Chisholm had an absolutely abysmal individual showing as well. He finished the 2026 World Baseball Classic for Great Britain having gone 2/13 (.154) with six strikeouts and just one RBI in an especially rough performance for the captain of the team.

The 28-year-old Chisholm, who posted a 30-30 campaign for the Yankees in 2025, is entering the final year of his contract this season at $10.2 million. Chisholm will have an enormous ask as a free agent next winter, but his baseball year in 2026 really could not have gotten off to a worse start with that World Baseball Classic dud.

Luka Doncic appears to make the money sign at referee after no-call

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Luka Doncic is living very dangerously right now.

The Los Angeles Lakers star Doncic had a curious moment during Sunday’s game against the New York Knicks. In the third quarter at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Calif., Doncic lost his dribble and turned the ball over.

That ignited a 3-on-1 fast break by the Knicks with Doncic serving as the only Lakers player defending the basket. He attempted to step in and take a charge on New York forward Mohamed Diawara, but the referees did not blow a whistle, resulting in a dump-off pass by Diawara to Knicks teammate Josh Hart for the easy layup.

In response, Doncic, who had hit the deck following the contact from Diawara, looked at the nearest referee and appeared to make the money sign at him (effectively alleging that the ref had been paid off). Here is the video.

The six-time All-Star Doncic has drawn plenty of ire this season for his incessant complaining to the referees. He is now sitting at 15 technical fouls on the year (one away from an automatic one-game suspension) and even made Lakers head coach JJ Redick look bad with his latest T from a few days ago.

In the end, the Lakers wound up defeating the Knicks by a comfortable 110-97 final score. But Doncic will likely be facing a sizable fine from the NBA over the apparent money gesture, possibly even akin to the one that Rudy Gobert once got for making the same sign during a game.

Dillon Brooks takes a shot at the Timberwolves

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Dillon Brooks wants the Ant-Man.

The Phoenix Suns swingman Brooks appeared this week in a “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” video feature. During the feature, Brooks made some shady comments about the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“[The Timberwolves] run into us [during the playoffs], it’s gonna be problems,” said Brooks. “We got their number this year.”

Brooks is right that the Suns have beaten the Timberwolves during both head-to-head matchups so far this year. The two teams also have their final meeting of the regular season on March 17 at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn.

With the Timberwolves sitting at No. 4 in the West this season and the Suns at No. 7, it is entirely possible that the two sides could face each other in the first round as part of a 3-6 or a 4-5 matchup. The prior history is there too as Minnesota and Phoenix faced each other in the first round of the 2024 playoffs (with the former winning in a four-game sweep). The first-year Suns player Brooks also himself played Minnesota in a 2022 first-round playoff matchup as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies (with the Grizzlies winning that series in six games).

Of course, the former All-Defensive selection Brooks has some bigger things to worry about right now besides the Timberwolves. He is currently recovering from a broken hand which is expected to sideline him through late March to early April, and he was also just arrested for DUI in Arizona a few days ago (though Brooks was released without any immediate charges).

Marcus Smart has a collision with Bill Maher during Lakers-Knicks game

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Bill Maher got an up-close taste of the action during Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks.

The comedian and political commentator Maher was sitting courtside as the Lakers faced the Knicks at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Calif. on Sunday. In the second quarter, Lakers guard Marcus Smart deflected a pass during a Knicks possession and went flying out of bounds to try to save the loose ball.

Smart ultimately failed to keep the ball in play … but did succeed in causing some chaos on the sideline. He took out a few of the monitors of the ESPN television broadcasters and also ran into Maher and some other fans who were sitting in the first row in the process.

Here is the video.

Maher, 70, is a New York City native who was presumably cheering on the Knicks on Sunday. But his HBO show “Real Time with Bill Maher” films in Los Angeles, giving Maher the perfect opportunity to catch a game.

Meanwhile, the former NBA Defensive Player of the Year Smart is known for his hustle, which sometimes includes all-out efforts for loose balls. Maher learned that the hard way on Sunday, but he at least fared better than this other courtside fan who was once steamrolled by a current Lakers player.
