#Chargers OC Mike McDaniel says he’s making a change this week, moving from the sideline to the booth to call plays: “I think we’re going to try that this week. Seems like a good action to take based on how things have gone this year.”

I'd like to formally apologize to Houston Rockets fans for ranking the team 8th in my latest power rankings: I'm sorry I didn't overreact to their fast start to the season, for still not totally trusting the offense, and for not fully believing in Ime Udoka’s ability to adjust on the fly. I hope you will forgive me, especially after every concern was on display in tonight’s loss to the Edwards-less Timberwolves. Sloppy turnovers, weird rotations by Ime, and questionable end-game scoring. Just like last year. Yes, their start to this season is encouraging. That is why they moved up multiple spots into a higher tier since preseason! But Houston has a lot more to prove to enter the upper echelon of contenders.

New Mariners manager Jason Kanzler refers to the Astros as "the team that shall not be named" during his introductory press conference 😂

“As to Bryce Young, we’ve recently caught wind of chatter that the Panthers are “far down the road” toward signing him to a second deal in excess of $50 million per year”

Source: the Astros will interview former Astros 3B Morgan Ensberg for their vacant managerial opening later this week. He is a former college teammate of GM Randy Flores and has spent the last three seasons managing the Durham Bulls, the Triple-A affiliate of the Rays.

Bill Simmons thinks the Rockets will keep both of their 2027 picks and still be able to contend "Houston is a top 3 NBA team right now and they have Phoenix's pick, Brooklyn pick...they’ll probably just keep the picks and do the two timelines thing.” (H/T @GormanChristoph)
