NBA Media Day: LeBron’s Sixers Era, Camps Open, Porzingis Out

Image
League-wide reset: cameras on, practice gear out, storylines everywhere. Most NBA teams hit Media Day Monday and open camp practices Tuesday, Sept. 29. Dallas and Houston started early for overseas preseason travel. The headline carousel: LeBron James begins his Philadelphia chapter (24th season), Giannis Antetokounmpo talks Miami after the trade, Kawhi Leonard is back in Toronto, and Stephen Curry locked in a two-year extension to stay in Golden State. Not all news was celebratory — Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy said Kristaps Porziņģis is out indefinitely with an undisclosed health issue and will miss Hawaii camp, with no timeline but hope for a return “soon.” New coaches across the map (May in Dallas already rolling; Mosley, Sweeney, Jenkins, Splitter, Nori debuting Tuesday) add another layer. Preseason tips this weekend; Opening Night is Oct. 20 with a loaded NBC/Peacock tripleheader.

Buffs QB Battle Brews After Lewis Bench; Texas Tech at Folsom

Image
Boulder, the headset drama is official — Coach Prime just put the QB room on notice. After Colorado’s 23-13 Big 12-opening loss at Baylor, Deion Sanders explained pulling starter Julian Lewis at halftime for Utah transfer Isaac Wilson. Lewis was 11-of-16 for 75 yards before the hook. Wilson was shaky, then settled in and sparked a long TD drive. Sanders took responsibility for the switch: “We gotta get going, we gotta score some points.” The Buffs are 2-2, 0-1 Big 12, stuck on third-down woes and a growing penalty problem that USA Today’s Buffaloes Wire flagged again Monday. Sanders told Wilson he doesn’t have to “be the man” — just distribute. Whether that means a full-time flip or a committee remains the week’s storyline. Next for Colorado Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Colorado%20Football): TEST Texas Tech at Folsom Field this Saturday. Home crowd, Big 12 gauntlet, and an open question under center — Folsom will be loud either way. Sources: DNVR (https://t...

Wings Face Must-Win Game 2 vs Valkyries Wednesday in Arlington

Image
Arlington, this is win-or-go-home energy on a Wednesday night. The Dallas Wings trail their best-of-three first-round series 0-1 after Golden State’s 104-80 Game 1 win at Chase Center. The damage report is familiar: a WNBA-postseason-record 37-11 second quarter, Valkyries 18-of-36 from three, and another chapter in a season-long Golden State hex (4-0 vs. Dallas in 2026). Coach José Fernández said the second-quarter pattern mirrored the regular-season losses. Paige Bueckers was brilliant individually (21 points on 9-of-10 in Game 1 per prior reports), but Dallas needs five on a string — ball security, keep drives in front, and guard the arc. Fernández said the club would take Monday off, watch film, and gear up. Game 2: Wednesday, Sept. 30, 8 p.m. CT at College Park Center, ESPN. Lose and the season ends. Win and it’s Game 3 Friday back in San Francisco. The Dallas Wings (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Wings) closed the regular season on a tear to grab the seve...

Stars Set Initial Roster; Home Opener Festivities vs Blues Oct. 2

Image
Victory Green, the exhibition fluff is over — Jim Nill just posted the first real roster card of 2026-27. On Monday the Dallas Stars announced a 21-player initial roster: 12 forwards, seven defensemen, two goalies. Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith handle the crease; the blueline features Heiskanen, Harley, Lindell, Bichsel, Myers, Lundkvist, and Capobianco. Up front it’s the usual heavyweights — Robertson, Rantanen, Hintz, Johnston, Seguin, Duchene, Benn — plus Joel Kiviranta as the listed offseason re-add. Five players hit Injured Non-Roster. Friday’s home opener vs. St. Louis (Oct. 2) gets the full AAC treatment: Victory Green Carpet Walk on PNC Plaza around 5 p.m. (fans can line up from 3), Party on PNC Plaza with live music, doors at 6:30, LED bracelets for the enhanced pregame, and a national TV slot on TNT. Miss Texas 2026 Stephanie Wendt drops the puck. After a perfect 4-0-0 preseason, the Dallas Stars (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Stars) are ready fo...

No. 21 SMU Hosts Boston College After Sloppy Missouri State Escape

Image
University Park, the win is in the books — the film session might sting more than the scoreboard. No. 21 SMU (3-1) beat Missouri State 34-24 behind Kevin Jennings’ 33-of-39, 464-yard, three-TD night (school-record 21 straight completions), but Rhett Lashlee’s crew spotted the Bears a 10-0 hole on turnovers, missed two field goals, and failed an early fourth down. Nine turnovers through four games. Still haven’t won the giveaway battle against an FBS opponent. That math gets expensive in ACC play. Next: Boston College at Gerald J. Ford Stadium, Saturday, Oct. 3, 11 a.m. CT on The CW — SMU’s ACC home opener. The Eagles are 2-2 after a 21-14 home loss to Virginia Tech. SMU leads the recent series and opened as a heavy favorite, but local hosts will hammer ball security all week. If the SMU Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/SMU%20Football) offense stays clean, the firepower is there. If it doesn’t, Saturday’s mess becomes a blueprint for how to derail a playoff-hope...
