Former Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis is happy to be out of Dallas after Wednesday’s trade that sent George Pickens from Pittsburgh to America’s Team.
The Cowboys confirmed that they acquired Pickens from the Steelers along with a 2026 sixth-round draft pick, in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.

In reaction to the transaction, Jourdan Lewis — who signed with the Jaguars in free agency after spending his entire eight-year career in Dallas — reposted a report about the trade and wrote, “Confirmation, God wanted me in Jacksonville.”
Pickens and Lewis memorably generated headlines at the end of the Week 5 Cowboys-Steelers matchup this past season when Pickens grabbed Lewis by his face mask and pulled him toward the ground. An official and other players quickly got between them to keep the tensions from escalating. The Cowboys pulled out a 20-17 win.
“Pittsburgh needs a receiver,” Lewis said after the incident. “George Pickens is weak.”

Lewis and Pickens will not see each other immediately, as the Cowboys and Jaguars are not slated to meet in the 2025 regular season.
Pickens heads to Dallas after three seasons in Pittsburgh. Last season, he grabbed 59 receptions for 900 yards and three touchdowns. The 24-year-old made 63 catches for 1,140 yards and five touchdowns in a career-high season the year before.
In Lewis’ eight seasons with the Cowboys, he tallied 386 combined tackles and 9.5 sacks, with 10 interceptions. He signed a three-year, $30 million deal with Jacksonville in the offseason.

What we learned from Mike Sullivan’s first Rangers press conference
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. — This may be a new job for Mike Sullivan, but it is not new territory. After 10 years coaching the Pittsburgh Penguins, Sullivan is at home behind an NHL bench and in front of a microphone.He was doing the latter on Thursday for the first time as the New York Rangers’ coach, talking up the job he’d taken six days earlier — and that was just four days after he’d left Pittsburgh. General manager Chris Drury said Thursday what we’d known for years, that Sullivan was the coach Drury always wanted. And Drury wasted no time last week tearing up whatever coaching search plans he’d made after firing Peter Laviolette to make a beeline for Sullivan.AdvertisementTwo league sources said that Sullivan signed a five-year deal worth $6.5 million per season, making him by far the highest-paid coach […]

Quenneville patřil k potrestaným členům vedení Blackhawks, kteří v roce 2010 nereagovali podle nezávislého vyšetřování dostatečně rychle a důrazně na obvinění, že tehdejší videokouč Brad Aldrich sexuálně napadl hráče Kylea Beache. Místo řešení situace se vedení rozhodlo vyčkat na konec play off, aby se vyhnulo negativní publicitě.Šestašedesátiletý Quenneville dovedl Chicago k triumfu ve Stanley Cupu v letech 2010, 2013 a 2015. Za 25 sezon v NHL nasbíral 969 výher, více vítězství v elitní soutěži má na kontě jen legendární Scotty Bowman (1244).

Během takřka čtyř let, kdy jsem byl bez hokeje, jsem se poučil ze svých chyb a uvědomil si, že moje odhodlání být lepším vůdcem ukážou lépe činy než slova,“ uvedl Quenneville.

Steph Curry doesn’t have target return date for ‘tricky’ hamstring injury
MINNEAPOLIS — Steph Curry attended the Warriors’ morning shootaround in Minnesota on Thursday. He rebounded for Brandin Podziemski and helped guide Buddy Hield through a shooting routine. He’s around — but probably more to lift his own spirits than his team’s.It’s clear Curry is still wrestling with the depressing nature of his latest injury, jeopardizing one of his final, and maybe best, chances at a fifth NBA title. Two months after his 37th birthday, he is dealing with a hamstring issue for the first time in his life.Advertisement“I know how tricky hamstring injuries can be,” Curry said. “They can fool you and make you think it’s healed (when it’s not) if you don’t feel anything. That gray area will be confusing, I’m sure. But I’ll do everything in my power to get back.”Curry is working closely with Rick Celebrini, the […]
