The Houston Texans needed help with a running back. It was a position lacking depth, and arguably a bit of talent as well. The two prominent names were recently acquired Joe Mixon, and third-year backup Dameon Pierce. Pierce struggled in 2023, leaving many to doubt his potential impact, while Mixon has had an up-and-down career but has mostly been a solid starter.

The Houston Texans wait for no man. At least not during the upcoming 2024 NFL season. The club has already waived a drafted rookie from the 2024 NFL Draft, a sign that they aren't exactly waiting for things to happen but instead looking to make things happen. News broke on...

Which SEC teams are overrated and underrated in preseason media poll?. After the conclusion of SEC Media Days, the gathered members of the press put in for a poll ranking their predicted order of finish for the conference. Though some treat it with little regard—voting Vanderbilt for a first-place finish, for example, as two members did this year—the sample size is large enough to represent something of a consensus.

The Baltimore Orioles could trade Cedric Mullins, their starting center fielder, to a contender before the trade deadline. Let me explain. The Orioles have more outfielders than they know what to do with. Colton Cowser and Heston Kjerstad aren't going anywhere because they're two thirds of the future in Baltimore's outfield. Anthony Santander is having the best season of any Baltimore outfielder. Austin Hays is performing well in his role and Kyle Stowers desperately needs more playing time. Top prospect, Connor Norby, is banging on the door to be called up to the big leagues.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

The Dallas Mavericks are officially down to one final roster spot, and fans are speculating about who Dallas could sign to solidify their roster heading into next season. While someone from their Summer League team could end up taking the final roster spot, it seems more likely that the Mavs scour the free agent marketplace for a backup guard to come off the bench.

In the two years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion-rights advocates in Wyoming have been on the defensive. After Roe’s fall, the Wyoming Legislature’s near-total “trigger” ban was set to go into effect, though it stalled in court. The very next year, it was replaced by another near-total ban and an additional prohibition on abortion-inducing medications. And in March, the statehouse passed a bill mandating ultrasounds for women seeking the procedure and effectively regulating facilities offering abortions out of business.
