Ohio State Tunnel Vision Uniform Reaction, Ryan Day Son Commits to NU, LeBron Back to Cleveland?
On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes break down all the latest Ohio State football headlines from the past few weeks. The guys dive into Ryan Day’s son, RJ Day, committing to play for Chip Kelly and the Northwestern Wildcats, react to Ohio State’s brand-new Tunnel Vision uniforms, and celebrate the historic NFL Draft success of the Buckeyes’ 2024 national championship defense. Plus, they discuss the lasting impact of Ted Ginn Sr. on generations of Ohio State athletes and debate whether LeBron James should return to Cleveland to finish his legendary NBA career. Will RJ Day thrive under Chip Kelly in Chicago, or could things get awkward between Ohio State and its former assistant coach? Cardale and Beanie give their thoughts on one of the more fascinating offseason storylines in college football. The crew also has plenty of fun reacting to Ohio State’s new uniforms and shares their favorite Buckeye jersey combinations of all time — along with what they’d love to see next from the program. After a historic NFL Draft that saw all 11 starters from Ohio State’s 2024 championship defense get selected, the guys reflect on what made that defense so special and what it means for the Buckeyes moving forward. Later in the show, thanks to our friends at Buckeye Basement Solutions, the crew discusses proposed changes to the college football calendar, including conference championship games, the exclusivity of the Army-Navy game, and possible scheduling changes across the sport. Plus, Julian Sayin made headlines with his recent comments on The Triple Option with Urban Meyer, and the crew breaks down everything the future Buckeye QB had to say. And don’t miss next week’s episode featuring special guest Urban Meyer. Finally, with LeBron James and the Lakers eliminated from the playoffs, the guys ask the big question: should LeBron return to Cleveland and end his iconic career where it all began? #sports #football #NFL #nfldraft Thank you to our sponsors: Dr Pepper - It's a Pepper Thing!

The End of an Era? Massive Questions for the Celtics' 2026 Offseason 🍀📉
What was supposed to be a "Banner 19" celebration has turned into a historic nightmare. After blowing a 3–1 lead to the Philadelphia 76ers—the first such collapse in franchise history—the Boston Celtics are officially heading into the 2026 offseason with their foundation shaken to the core. Listen Now: https://buff.ly/zuhEPZF #Celtics #NBAPlayoffs #BleedGreen #JaysonTatum
How The Celtics Built Their CORE
The Blueprint: From Assets to Banner 18 The Celtics' current starting five all have direct or indirect roots in the assets acquired from Brooklyn. The Foundational Duo (Brown & Tatum): Jaylen Brown: Drafted #3 overall in 2016 using a Brooklyn pick. He eventually became the 2024 NBA Finals MVP. Jayson Tatum: Acquired after Boston won the 2017 Draft Lottery via a Brooklyn pick swap. They traded down from #1 to #3 to select Tatum, who became an All-NBA First Team cornerstone. The Trade Tree Expansion (Holiday, Porziņģis, White): Jrue Holiday: Boston acquired Holiday in 2023 by trading Robert Williams III, who was drafted with the final 2018 Brooklyn pick. Kristaps Porziņģis: Acquired in a three-team deal involving Marcus Smart. While Smart was drafted in 2014, his selection was made possible because the Celtics could prioritize guard depth knowing their future wing positions were secured by upcoming Brooklyn assets. Derrick White: Traded for in 2022 using a package that included Romeo Langford (drafted with a pick from the Kyrie Irving trade, who himself was originally acquired using a Brooklyn asset). Why It Worked While the Nets pursued a short-term "win-now" window with aging stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, the Celtics used the unprotected picks to bypass a traditional "bottom-out" rebuild. By the time the Nets' veterans left just two years later, Brooklyn was at the bottom of the league, and their top-tier lottery picks were flowing directly to a resurgent Boston team.

The Memphis Grizzlies Get the 3rd Pick in the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery | iTalkHoops
Hope is back in Memphis. After three long painful years — the suspensions, the injuries, the locker room drama, the 25-57 season — the Memphis Grizzlies walked into the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery tonight and walked out with the third overall pick. I told you what to watch for on lottery night. And when the Sacramento Kings came up at number seven instead of Memphis — that was the signal. We jumped. The rebuild just got real. The full lottery order: Washington Wizards Utah Jazz Memphis Grizzlies 🎰 Chicago Bulls LA Clippers (via Pacers) Brooklyn Nets Sacramento Kings Atlanta Hawks (via Pelicans) Dallas Mavericks Milwaukee Bucks Golden State Warriors OKC Thunder (via Clippers) Miami Heat Charlotte Hornets Memphis also picks 16th and 32nd in this draft. Three picks. No bad contracts. A slew of first round picks from multiple teams. The largest trade exception in NBA history. And the Ja Morant trade still to come. This is not guaranteed to be the next Wembanyama or Cooper Flagg. We need to see summer league. We need to see year one. But that is not the point right now. The point is that Grizzlies fans have something they have not had in two years — a direction. Something to point to and say this is where we are going. Zach Edey. Cedric Coward. Pick three. That is the foundation. Utah badly wants AJ Dybantsa at two. What does Washington do at one? Does Darryn Peterson fall? Does Caleb Wilson fall to Memphis? Does Cameron Boozer end up in a Grizzlies uniform? The next six weeks are going to be the biggest smokescreen season in recent draft memory. And we will be here covering every rumor every move every workout. Happy Mother's Day Grizz Nation. Hug your mother. She might not know why you are so happy today — but you do. 🔔 Subscribe — the next video breaks down every option Memphis has at pick three. 💬 Who do you want Memphis to take?

Why Jayden Quaintance is the FUTURE of the Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are officially entering a brand new era. With the previous front office gone, the focus has shifted from "staying competitive" to building a championship foundation from the ground up. In the 2026 NBA Draft, there is no prospect who embodies a "fresh start" more than Jayden Quaintance. In this video, we analyze why the Chicago Bulls should make Jayden Quaintance the center of their rebuilding efforts. As a 6'10" defensive phenom with a massive 7'5" wingspan, Quaintance represents the high-upside swing that a new front office needs to take. While the previous regime often played it safe, the "New Bulls" must prioritize elite physical tools and defensive versatility. Quaintance isn't just a rim protector; he is a switchable weapon who can anchor a modern NBA defense for the next decade. We break down the Jayden Quaintance scouting report in full, looking at his elite 9.8% block rate and his relentless motor on the offensive glass. Despite being one of the youngest players in his class and coming off an injury, his ceiling is arguably the highest of any big man in years. If the Bulls want to maximize the playmaking of Josh Giddey and the scoring gravity of Matas Buzelis, they need a "vertical spacer" and a defensive eraser who allows the wings to take risks. Inside This Bulls Draft Breakdown: The New Vision: How a change in leadership changes the Bulls' draft board and why Quaintance fits a long-term rebuild. Defensive Identity: Why Quaintance’s 7’5” wingspan is the perfect antidote to the Bulls’ recent defensive struggles. The Youth Movement: Analyzing the chemistry between Quaintance, Giddey, and Buzelis in an open-court system. Injury & Upside: A candid look at his recovery and why his "raw" offensive game is actually an opportunity for elite development. The Comparison: Does Quaintance have the potential to be a more mobile version of Bam Adebayo or a defensive monster like Jaren Jackson Jr.? ChicagoBullsNews is your #1 source for everything regarding the Bulls' rebuild. We are tracking every rumor, every workout, and every front-office move as this team finally heads in a new direction. Whether you’re a casual fan curious about the new leadership or a die-hard regular who has been waiting for a real rebuild, we’ve got you covered. The "mediocrity treadmill" is over. It’s time to get excited about the future of Chicago basketball. Join the conversation in the comments: Now that the front office has changed, who is your #1 target in the draft?
