NCAAFB  – Michigan State player who swung helmet gets probation

  A  Michigan State football player who swung his helmet at a Michigan player in a  stadium tunnel has expressed regret. Khary Crump said Tuesday that he’s “just  looking forward to wuppin’ some maize and blue” on the field. Crump, a  defensive back, was sentenced to probation. He was one of seven Michigan State  players charged in a skirmish after an Oct. 29 loss at Michigan Stadium. Crump  was the only Spartan facing a felony, but that charge was dismissed in an  agreement to plead guilty to misdemeanors. His record will be scrubbed clean  and the case will be sealed if he stays out of trouble while on probation.

WNBA  – Griner’s return, free agency raises charter flight concerns

  Brittney  Griner’s return to the WNBA has collided with free agency which has raised  questions once again about teams chartering flights. Griner announced in  December that she would return to the league after spending last season in a  Russian jail before being released in a dramatic prisoner swap. The 6-foot-9  center is a free agent and says she’ll return to Phoenix. Players can  officially sign with teams on Wednesday. Players have been unable to negotiate  for charter flights and the current collective bargaining agreement requires  all teams to fly commercial. If Griner needs special travel accommodations due  to safety concerns the league will have to come up with a plan and any change  would have to be approved by both the union and the WNBA.

NFL  – AP source: Broncos get Payton as coach in deal with Saints

  A person with knowledge of the pact tells The  Associated Press that the Denver Broncos have agreed to a deal with the New  Orleans Saints to hire Sean Payton as their head coach. The person says the  Broncos will send a first-round pick in this year’s draft and a future  second-rounder to the Saints in order to get Payton in Denver. The Saints will  send a third-round pick to the Broncos. Payton stepped down as the Saints’  coach last year but remained under contract with the team. The person spoke to  The AP on condition of anonymity because the teams hadn’t announced the  agreement.

NFL – Brother vs. brother: Kelces prepare for Super  Bowl showdown

  Donna Kelce is going to have to pull out her custom  jersey — the one with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s front  stitched to Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce’s back — one more time this  season. For the first time in Super Bowl history, a pair of siblings will  square off on the NFL’s biggest stage. Kelce helped the Chiefs return to their  third championship game in four seasons on Sunday night when they beat the  Bengals for the AFC title. Jason has the Eagles back for the second time in six  years after their NFC title win over the 49ers.
