The 2024 NHL draft should be full pizzazz with the event taking place Friday and Saturday at The Sphere. But here’s what to watch for when the picks start coming in.
Vashti Cunningham finished in third place in the women’s high jump at the U.S. Track and Field Trials Monday night, securing a spot in the Paris Games.
UNLV’s football team added six new players Monday as it seeks to build on the momentum it created in coach Barry Odom’s first season.
Former Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones is facing a suspended jail sentence in a domestic violence case.
Bishop Gorman offensive lineman Douglas Utu, the second-ranked recruit in the state of Nevada by 247 Sports, announced his college commitment Monday.
Instead of ripping the losing coach, pause for a moment to praise the winning quarterback. Deshaun Watson did not get much pregame hype from the media and was quickly dismissed by most bettors, yet he directed a dominant performance by Clemson.

When the Philadelphia Eagles are winning, coach Chip Kelly is a genius and an innovator. When the losses pile up, he’s an arrogant egomaniac who annoys everyone with his fast talking and micromanaging.
At the risk of sounding grumpy and old, Cam Newton’s celebrations and dance routines are getting old. But like him or not, he deserves a lot of credit, and so do the Carolina Panthers.
For so many years, the Oakland Raiders’ puzzle was a jumbled mess with several missing pieces. Most of the pieces were missing, in fact. But things seem to finally be changing, and now Derek Carr is developing into a legitimate franchise quarterback.
Not so long ago, Kirk Ferentz had seemingly worn out his welcome at Iowa. A run of mediocrity put the dean of Big Ten football coaches on the hot seat. And now, he’s probably the most popular guy in the state.
