Played Rec League basketball alongside great NBA play by play man Mike Breen. His penetrating jump shot was always money. Proud to have once called Mike a teammate. He’s the best of us in every way, humble, tenacious to win and always a great teammate👍😎

ESPN sources: The Broncos and Sean Payton have reached agreement on a new five-year contract.

Payton has led the Broncos to the third-most wins in the NFL over the past two years, including an AFC Championship Game appearance last season.

Now, Broncos owner Greg Penner has both his HC and GM George Paton under contract through the 2030 season, with stability across his football operations.

The Knicks trailed by as many as 14 points in their Game 1 win and as many as 12 in Game 2.

This is the first time a team has recorded double-digit comebacks in each of the first two games of a Finals since 1975, per @ESPNInsights.

I texted Aaron Donald about coming out of retirement and playing for the Rams, alongside Myles Garrett:

“I’m for sure flirting with the idea. Helluva an opportunity with the Super Bowl in SoFi this year. If I can find the fire, it’s a possibility.”

New England was one of AJ Brown's preferred destinations, in part because of Mike Vrabel. Brown played for Vrabel from 2019-2021 with the Titans, and the two have maintained a connection beyond football, according to Vrabel.

Didn’t know the late, great Robert Redford directed The Legend of Bagger Vance. Don’t think Redford was a golfer, but he was an awesome artist of beautiful storytelling and acting, which this movie abounds in both. One of my favorites always🏌🏽‍♂️⛳️😎

Tiger Woods Showed Up for Kai Trump’s Graduation

As previously reported, Tiger Woods left his rehab program in Switzerland and flew home to Florida around May 13. What was perhaps less known was how he made it a priority to attend Kai Trump’s high school graduation on May 15 — just days after returning.

He was also there to support his girlfriend Vanessa Trump following her recent breast cancer diagnosis.

Now, as of May 24, Tiger has flown back to Switzerland to continue his rehab.

Family first, even amid his own challenges. Respect. 🐅🎓❤️

Sitting at a hotel bar when NFL owners R deciding who should succeed Paul Tagliabue as Comish, Several votes later Gregg Levy tied w Roger Goodell. Wayne Huizenga asks at the bar who I’d pick. I say RG, he’ll grow the game. Believe stately Wayne manner helped make RG Commish

🚨🐅⛳️ #UPDATE — @people reports that playing golf remains a priority for Tiger Woods.

“Golf is very much on Tiger's mind and will be in the coming months as he gets back to it here in whatever ways he can…”

“Golf is who he is… he will do whatever he has to to get back in whatever way he can in light of his injuries and age. He is not a quitter.”

When will Tiger tee it up next?

Justin Thomas was asked if there was an art to being the clubhouse leader.

"I can tell you how there isn't, because it happened to me one time... Probably had four or five beers at lunch, and next thing you know... I'm still the leader in the clubhouse." 😂

Ben Davidson absolutely levels Joe Namath — helmet flying, turf eating, pure violence in the Oakland Coliseum.

No flags. No sliding. Just two legends going to war in the AFL days that built the game.

Follow @NFLHuddleUp to resurrect legends like them.
