UCLA research suggests playing pro football can increase risk of developing ALS

The study looked at close to 20,000 professional football players who had participated in at least one game between 1960 and 2019. The data showed that professional football players were four times more likely than the general population to develop and die from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a neurodegenerative disease.

Because the study covers 59 years, the researchers were also able to make an important connection between the length of a player’s football career and their risk of developing ALS. Specifically, the longer someone played football, the greater their likelihood of developing ALS became. Those players who developed ALS played more than 50% longer than those who did not.

Draymond Green declines Warriors' option, becomes free agent​

Draymond Green is heading to free agency. The Warriors veteran has declined a $27.7 million player option for the 2026-27 season and will be a free agent tomorrow evening. Green has only played for the Warriors during his 14-year NBA career and has won four championships with the squad. The Warriors could bring Green back at a smaller average annual value and help make more moves possible.

The Warriors are said to be chasing both LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis on the trade market. Those moves would reunite LeBron and AD and pair them with Stephen Curry as Curry and James chase a fifth title.

We found Mr Pink

4 incoming Ohio State hockey players were selected in the 2026 NHL Draft​

Despite being drafted, all four players are expected to play for Ohio State in the fall.

Ben Wilmott - 92nd overall pick - Las Vegas Golden Knights​

Evan Jardine - 121st overall pick - Columbus Blue Jackets​

Tobias Tvrznik - 126th overall pick - Colorado Avalanche​

This season we saw Jakub Dobeš take over as the starting goaltender in Montreal, helping the Canadiens reach the Eastern Conference Finals before they were eventually eliminated by the Carolina Hurricanes, who went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Tobias Tvrznik hopes to find success in the NHL in the future after he was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday in the fourth round.

The Czechia product will have a few years before he reaches the NHL, as he won’t even turn 19 until the end of July. Before committing to Ohio State, Tvrznik appeared in 39 games for the Wenatchee Wild of the Western Hockey League, posting a 3.10 goals against average and .913 save percentage.

While the goals against average is a little high, Tvrznik’s save percentage is impressive. With a pretty crowded pipeline at goalie, Tvrznik can afford to spend some time in Columbus to develop.

DSNY takes shot at JPMorgan litterbug with ‘No Need to Knick’ a trash bin giveaway​

Unlike the “incredibly stupid” fan, the five lucky winners won’t need to grab the full-sized blue-and-orange baskets off the street, dump litter across the sidewalk and lug it home on the subway.

"Fouling up our sidewalks and stealing public property should always be out of bounds in New York City,” said DSNY Commissioner Gregory Anderson.

Okpara was drafted #46 and will be in the Wizards organization. I doubt he is going to actually stick in the NBA, but he at least got drafted, so good for him for that. Notable that Holtmann's best recruiting class ended up with 3/4 of the players being drafted (Sensabaugh, Thornton & Okpara).

Just sayin': Holtmann's 2022 recruiting class was actually pretty good as Roddy Gayle Jr was a decent player too. Also, there was was a 5th player (i.e. Bowen Hardman) that transferred to Akron.

Muffin top.

Kinda like ND used to do with QBs? Turn 5*s into NDFAs?

That seems to be what's going on a lot with Colorado. Kids will go there because they know they will likely get to play right away and then most of them bolt after 1 season. 64 players entered the portal after 2025 and 65 entered the portal after 2024. It does make sense to go get a year of P4 playing time right away especially if they are tossing you a decent bag as well.

Click to expand...

Coach Prime's strategy is hitting the Portal though, so even when he does lose kids, he's ready to replace them. 78 kids transferred in, in the last 2yrs and 120+ transferred out. Yet they brought in 34 HS signees, Bailey will get to play, but not sure how much development he will have.

Go to Miami for depth and leadership and retire as a Dolphin like your dad and uncle. The extra year of cash in a state that has no State Tax wouldn't hurt either.

Well, am betting he had to pay extra for the extra ink caused by his ginormous arms. Or did he do that when he was smaller, and now its pixels are dialated?

Former Ohio State offensive lineman Bob Maggs has died at the age of 61.
A two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection as the Buckeyes’ starting center in 1985 and 1986, Maggs died unexpectedly last Thursday, according to his obituary.
Maggs is the father of Mason Maggs, a current walk-on quarterback for the Buckeyes.
A Parade All-American from Youngstown’s Cardinal Mooney High School, Maggs helped lead the Buckeyes to a 9-3 season in 1985 and a 10-3 season in 1986.

After his football career, Maggs worked in sales for Mueller Roofing Distributors. Per his obituary, Maggs was known by his loved ones as the “Gentle Giant” – for his kind heart, his warm, happy smile, and his fierce love for his family.
Maggs’ death is one of two tragic losses for the Ohio State football program over the past week as another great Buckeye center, Nick Mangold, died Saturday at 41 years old due to complications from kidney disease.
