NFL – NFL ends Pro Bowl; skills competitions, flag  game instead

  The NFL is replacing the Pro Bowl with weeklong skills  competitions and a flag football game. The new event will be renamed “The Pro  Bowl Games” and will feature AFC and NFC players showcasing their football and  non-football skills in challenges over several days. The 2023 Games will be  held in Las Vegas, and the flag football game at Allegiant Stadium is Sunday,  Feb. 5. Peyton Manning and his Omaha Productions company will help shape  programming and promote the event’s content throughout the week. Manning, a  14-time Pro Bowl pick during his Hall of Fame career, will provide his  perspective, and will also be a part of the coaching staff for flag game.

NFL – Browns’ Garrett injured in one-car accident,  status unknown

  Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett remains  under hospital care after being involved in a one-car accident following  practice. The team says Garrett did not suffer life-threatening injuries but  provided no further details on his condition. His agent said Garrett has  remained alert and responsive while getting medical attention. The Ohio State  Highway Patrol says it responded to a rollover crash around 3 p.m. Troopers  found a gray Porsche 911 Turbo S on the right side of the road with rollover  damage. The highway patrol said Garrett and a unidentified female passenger  were both transported to a hospital. The crash is still under investigation.  Garrett was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.

NFL – Bucs relocating to Miami area due to potential  impact of Ian

  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will relocate football  operations to the Miami area in preparation for next weekend’s game against the  Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the potential impact of Hurricane Ian on Florida’s  Gulf Coast. The Buccaneers announced Monday night that the team will leave  Tampa on Tuesday and relocate in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The Buccaneers are  expected to practice at the Miami Dolphins’ training complex in Miami Gardens,  Florida, starting on Wednesday and continue through this week’s preparations,  if necessary.

Covid/Sports  – Canada won’t require masks on planes, drops vaccine mandate

  The  Canadian government will no longer require people to wear masks on planes.  Government officials also confirmed Canada is dropping the vaccine requirement  for people entering the country at the end of the month. Canada, like the  United States, requires foreign nationals to be vaccinated when entering the  country. No change in the mandate is expected in the U.S. in the near term.  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has agreed to let a cabinet order  enforcing mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirements at the border expire  Sept. 30. Transport Canada is also removing travel requirements and as of  October 1 people won’t have to wear masks on trains and planes.

NBA  – Pistons guard Cade Cunningham bulked up for 2nd NBA season

  Cade  Cunningham packed on about 10 pounds of muscle in his first NBA offseason,  hoping the added weight will help him lift his game and the Detroit Pistons to  another level. The 6-foot-6 guard validated Detroit’s decision to draft him No.  1 overall last year. He averaged 17.4 points to lead all rookies, ranked second  among first-year players with 5.6 assists a game and grabbed 5.5 rebounds after  overcoming an ankle injury that slowed the start of his career. He and the rest  of the Pistons are back for camp, eager to improve on last year’s finish.

NBA  – Bulls set sights higher, look to build on run to playoffs

  The  Chicago Bulls have their sights set higher after making the playoffs for the  first time since 2017. They led the Eastern Conference for a big portion of the  season with DeMar DeRozan playing at an MVP level. The Bulls were knocked out  in the first round by Milwaukee. Chicago returns with its core group of players  intact. The Bulls will be without point guard Lonzo Ball for at least 4-6 weeks  after left knee surgery.

NBA  – Turner heads into another season with Pacers, trade talk

  Indiana  Pacers center Myles Turner has grown accustomed to the trade talk. He saw  two-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis and Caris LeVert dealt away in February. He  saw guard Malcolm Brogdon sent to Boston over the summer. So it’s no surprise  to Turner that he’s at the center of trade rumors yet again as the  longest-tenured Pacers player enters the final season of his contract. But  Turner doesn’t seem to mind. For now, the 26-year-old still suits up for the  team that drafted him and as long he stays in town, Turner intends to play  winning basketball.

NCAAFB  – Texas Tech fined for field storming when Texas player shoved

  Texas  Tech was fined $50,000 and reprimanded by the Big 12 Conference because fans  stormed the field following an overtime victory against rival Texas. A video of  the celebration shows one of those fans shoving a Longhorns player. Texas Tech  posted on social media a still shot from the video asking for help in  identifying that fan. Texas senior edge rusher Ovie Oghoufo was shoved from  behind by one fan running onto the field Saturday after the Red Raiders won  37-34. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian says Oghoufo showed great poise and  composure in what could have turned into an ugly situation.

NCAAFB – Ga Tech fires Geoff Collins in 4th season  with 10-28 mark

  Geoff Collins is out as Georgia Tech’s football coach.  Collins was fired in the midst of his fourth season after failing to make  headway with a brash plan to turn the Yellow Jackets into a national powerhouse  through branding and promoting Atlanta’s big-city culture. Collins was dumped  two days after a 27-10 loss to Central Florida left him with a record of 10-28.  Collins finished his tenure with a winning percentage of just .263 — the lowest  of 13 full-time coaches in the school’s history. Georgia Tech also fired  athletic director Todd Stansbury.

NASCAR – AP Exclusive: Jimmie Johnson to retire from  full-time racing

  Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson tells The  Associated Press that he is retiring from full-time racing and will turn his  focus toward spending time with family. He figures his future schedule will  include no more than 10 bucket-list events. The 47-year-old says he has no idea  what his racing schedule will look like, or whether he’ll run any IndyCar races  next season. He wants to do the 24 Hours of Le Mans with NASCAR and Hendrick  Motorsports, and has interest in “The Double” of the Indianapolis 500 and  Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. But he also wants to travel with his family and  perhaps spend a year living abroad.
