The no. 5 Florida Gators

Be careful: These catches bite. 5 Florida coup 7 alabama99-94, in Tuscaloosa and, combined with Miss’78 -76 wins No. 4 Tennessee, moved to Jerry Palm Bracketology # 1 line 1.

• It is the first time Florida has two wins on the Top-10 road in one season. Gators also won at No. 1 Auburn Last month.
• Alex Condon He returned to the initial line emphatically with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Walter Clayton Jr. 22 points have been added.
• Florida recorded a 19-10 lead in second or 22-10 points at fast breaking points. Alabama is reducingDavid Cobb Notes.
• Shortly afterwards, the rebels won their second victory in the top five (they also surpassed 4 Alabama in January). This is the first time they have overcome several first teams in a season.
• In the Senior Night, Jaemy Brenfield It was highlighted, marking the 19 points, the 8 for 8 shots, in the second half. This included the game winning game in the last seconds.

I like Ole Miss as a team of the NCAA Tournament of the second week of the week. The rebels have experience and have a lot of boys who can mark.

But me appraise Florida, as “are my championship”. Gators are the first 10 offensive places and Defensive efficiency. They are lethal in transition, overwhelming of the offensive glass and full of fire power: six different players have led them to score in a game this season. His border is ridiculous, his explosive reach. They have experience, depth, versatility and star power. Count -Me up to the way.

Also impressive last night? No. 13 Marylandwhich won at 17 Michigan71-65.

DK Metcalf and the Seattle Seahawks

It Seahawks Yesterday separated with one of its most important receptors. If another is achieved, Seattle will also leave. Dk metcalf requested a trade The same day of the team liberated Tyler Lockett.

• Metcalf, 27, reaches a slightly low year: it did not reach 1,000 meters for the first time since 2021, and its five touchdowns were low career, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as Geno SmithThe higher goal.
• Metcalf enters the last year of an extension of three years of $ 72 million since 2022. The $ 24 million a year is the 13th Riconest Receiver Agreement.
• The commercial request comes after several weeks of discussions on contracts. Seattle is expected to explore commercial possibilities.
• Lockett had owed $ 17 million by 2025. He is one of the many veterans Seattle has published in recent days. He took second place in the history of the franchise in receptions, receiving gardens and receiving touchdowns.

Metcalf is one of several spacious receptors that could find a new home this season, along with FROM ADAMS, Christian Kirk ((liberated Wednesday) and Lockett. Bryan Deardo has it The best landing sites for each.

🏈 NFL Roundup: Maxx Crosby gets a huge extension, Zack Baun returns to Eagles

It’s a good day to be Maxx Crosbyand is a bad day to be a quarterback, running back or an offensive lineman faced Raiters. Las Vegas gave its defensive end of the superstar Three -year extension, $ 106.5 million with guaranteed $ 91.5 million. At $ 35.5 million a year, this is the most important salary for a non-nFL’s non-translamal.

• Since 2021, Crosby leads the NFL in loss attacks (75) and is tied for lead in pressures (330).
• He has also played 407 times more than any other defensive link about this period. It is absolutely relentless.
• It is worth noting fellow defenses Pokeh parsons and Myles Garrett They also look for new contracts this season.

It Aging He also assured that his defender All-Pro would not go anywhere, signing Zack Baun on a Three -year extension of $ 51 million Includes $ 36 million. Baun reached a tiny agreement one year after playing with scarcity for the Saints. He transformed into a linebacker outside the elite ball is one of the many successful stories that helped Philadelphia win the Super Bowl.

We will see how many other collaborators can return. Darius Slay said he would “I love to go back.”

As for a star not Returning, the Loaders liberated Joey Bosa, Saving more than $ 25 million to the lid. A 2016-21 star has struggled with injuries for the last three years, but is still only 29 years old.

Finally, the Ossar added his second offensive lineman in so many days, acquiring Joe Thuney from Heads For a selection of the fourth round of 2026. Thuney, 32, is a four-time Super Bowl champion and a All-project twice.

For those who say that it does not adapt to the Chicago Time Line, I say the calendar is always correct to update the protection of your quarterback, especially given Caleb WilliamsThe full -sack debut season. The bears got another strong brand to Jordan Dajani degrees of trade.

Here is more …

🏀 Is it time for Mavericks to consider the trade of Anthony Davis?

I do not mean to call -me, Mavericks Fans. Really, no. But the calendar and severity of Kyrie Irvings ACL torn It’s just too horrible, and the coverage of our staff is too good so we can move on just But.

Mavs Gm Nico Harrison is expected to be buried From the moment it was marketed Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis, that was probably not a great sign and trade is blowing on Harrison’s face to less than a month after hisSays Jasmyn Wimbish.

Anyone who was in the contestant’s state, Dallas was hanging on this campaign. And with Irving, a significant part of next season was lost, there is a sign of Texas question in MAVS ‘2025-26: in the primary years Harrison went. Things can change very quickly but Sam Quinn says It may be time to raise -Davis trade. Yes, after a single game.

• Quinn: “Dallas does not control his own first-round options between 2027 and 2030. When this nucleus grows up, there will be no young perspectives to replace them. Very brief window to find that player.”

Finally, Jason Kidd was raised on the “conspiracy theories” that surround the injury. Safe to say that no one is happy.

⚽ UEFA Champions League: Liverpool takes late to Stunner vs. Psg

“Wait for the unexpected” was the theme of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, with three of the first four surprises producing surprises.

• Despite being dominated by almost all the game, Liverpool got a victory for 1-0 Psg behind a late goal of Harvey Elliott (under one minute after you have entered) and excellent goalkeeper of Alisson Becker, Aka, simply Alisson.
• Barcelona went down to 10 men in the 22nd minute after Peace cubarsiThe red card but still has a 1-0 victory over Benfician thanks to RaphinhaThe fantastic length of long range.
• Bayer Leverkusen got rid of a 3-0 loss into Bayern of Munichwith Harry Kane (twice) and Jamal Musiala Score for Bavarian. The disastrous second half of Bayer Leverkusen makes a Second leg return to LongshotWrite PARDEP COATRY.
• The only “expected” result was Between 2-0 on Feyenoord Behind the goals of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez.

Liverpool-PSG was a classic example of a goalkeeper who left his team. Even Red Devils coach Arne slot He admitted that his team would have been fortunate enough to even get a draw after leaving from 27-2. But that’s why there are goalkeepers. Alisson called his game again savings Probably the best performance of his lifeAnd what time for that.

This is where things go to the second legs.
