Rose, a 13-year NBA veteran who currently works as an analyst for ESPN, said Thursday on “Jalen & Jacoby” he believes the Wolverines should hire Juwan Howard to replace John Beilein, who left the school for the Cavaliers earlier this week. Rose and Howard played together at Michigan and were members of the famed “Fab Five” from 1991-94. “I need for this to happen, OK?” Rose said. “This ain’t just some nostalgic, ‘Oh, he was a member of the Fab Five, so let’s give him the job....

After penning his ceremonial deal, Charles received a “final handoff” from Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs’ practice field. Selected by the Chiefs as a third-round pick in 2008, he became the team’s all-time leader in rushing yards with 7,260 over the course of nine years. He also averaged 5.4 yards per carry in his career — an NFL high for running backs with a minimum of 750 carries. However, a torn ACL in late 2015 derailed his season, and Charles was not his explosive self after that....

So, you couldn’t blame 24-year-old Jamaican forward Deshorn Brown for taking a selfie with Messi. Maybe you could.

Purists might chide the lad for flicking it up with a competitor right after he defeated him. MORE: Neymar banned from Copa | Who is Lady Andrade?...

Adams’ behavior since then has supported that, including the time he told a Cowboys fan that he’s trying to get traded to Dallas.

Senior defensive back Ifo Ekpre-Olomu is sidelined with a knee injury so that puts the Ducks a bit of a disadvantage. Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston says he plans to exploit the defense whether Ekpre-Olomu plays or not. He’s not afraid of any defensive back. Winston went on to say he would throw against Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. Sherman is probably not the guy you want to get on the bad side of before entering the NFL....

James Gunn, half of the team now heading DC, learned this the hard way when he began “the saga of the holiday cheese plate,” a three-tweet arc that saw him having to issue another denial for rampant fan speculation. James Gunn and Peter Safran are set to release what they have planned for the upcoming DC slate early this year, but some entertainment journalists (or podcasters) will never let them rest until even that early launch date hits, deciding to comb over their social media posts like Charlie trying to discover Pepe Silvia in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia....

It turns out that Black Manta, one of the antagonists seen in DC’s Aquaman film, had his own spinoff in the works from the same director.
