Rays get C Nick Fortes from Marlins for OF Matthew Etzel

EA Sports CEO Andrew Wilson is teasing the revival of the company’s long-dormant college basketball video game franchise, calling it a major "opportunity." While details are still scarce, the move suggests EA is capitalizing on renewed interest in college sports gaming after the successful return of its college football series. Fans who’ve been waiting over a decade for another shot at virtual March Madness have reason to get excited—but we’ll have to wait for specifics like release dates or licensing deals.

Editor’s Note: College sports video games were once huge but vanished due to legal battles over player likenesses. EA’s recent comeback in college football (with paid athlete partnerships) paved the way for this. If done right, a new basketball game could be a win for gamers, schools, and players cashing in—but it’s also a test of whether the nostalgia translates to modern sales.

With the Saints' season opener just over a month away, this piece takes a nostalgic deep dive into every player who's worn the No. 38 jersey for the team. While most were forgettable, the list is anchored by George Rogers—a franchise legend who rushed for over 1,600 yards in his rookie season and left a lasting mark.

Editor’s Note: For die-hard Saints fans, jersey number retrospectives like this are a fun way to bridge the offseason gap—mixing trivia with nostalgia. While Rogers is the clear standout, the article subtly underscores how few players leave a lasting legacy, even in a single-digit jersey. It’s a lighthearted reminder that football history isn’t just about stats, but the stories behind the numbers.

Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly in talks with Bayern Munich to bring midfielder João Palhinha to North London on loan. The 30-year-old, who only moved to Bayern from Fulham last summer, could bolster Spurs' midfield options if the deal goes through.

Editor’s Note: Midfield depth has been a talking point for Tottenham, and Palhinha—a proven Premier League performer—could be a smart short-term fix. But loan deals often hinge on fine print (options, wages, etc.), so don’t celebrate just yet. For Bayern, it might signal they’re willing to tweak their squad after a mixed start under Kompany. Worth keeping an eye on.

Editor’s Note: This stage is a pivotal moment in the race—mountain stages often decide who’s in contention for the overall win. Gigante’s vibrant personality adds a refreshing human element to the competition, making it not just about athleticism but also the spirit of the sport. For fans, it’s a chance to see resilience and passion in action.

LSU football coach Brian Kelly opened up about the boost his defense will get with the return of key players Whit Weeks and Harold Perkins. He highlighted their impact on the team's performance, suggesting their comeback could be a game-changer for LSU's defensive lineup.

Editor’s Note: For LSU fans, this is big news—getting two standout players back on defense could tighten up the team's performance and shift momentum in crucial games. In college football, a single player's return can make all the difference, so Kelly's optimism here is worth paying attention to.
