Seahawks bring back veteran DT Johnathan Hankins
May 7 - The Seattle Seahawks re-signed veteran defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins to a one-year contract on Wednesday.
Hankins, 33, played in all 17 games with eight starts and made 30 tackles, one sack, five tackles for loss and one interception in his first season in Seattle in 2024.
"Being here last year, the success we had, the group we had defensively, and now we have D-Law (DeMarcus Lawrence) here, and some more key guys -- we drafted a D-tackle -- I just feel comfortable here," Hankins said. "I like it here. Everything made sense. To be able to still be playing in Year 13, and obviously the organization wanted me back, so it just made sense."
In addition to adding four-time Pro Bowler Lawrence, the Seahawks' defensive linemen include Leonard Williams, Jarran Reed and Byron Murphy II.
"This guy is a heck of a player," Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said recently of Hankins. "We're excited to get him back. I wouldn't say it's a major void because we have guys that can play in the A gap, but, yeah, when you watch tape last year, he played some pretty dang good football for us. Excited to get him back."
Hankins has 433 career tackles with 18.5 sacks, 44 tackles for loss, 52 quarterback hits, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one interception in 169 games (142 starts) for the New York Giants (2013-16), Indianapolis Colts (2017), Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders (2018-22), Dallas Cowboys (2022-23) and Seahawks.
The Giants selected Hankins in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.

She said in a video message: 'This is going to be a grueling test of golf. Oakmont is well bunkered with firm, fast greens and a thick rough thicker than a bowl of Oatmeal. It is going to be a true test from start to finish, every single shot.' When assessing her underdog picks for the tournament, Spiranac added: 'If you're looking at some dark horses, I'm liking Harris English and Ben Griffin.

We know that you're a marketing and branding genius and that you pioneered this entire industry, and that you're actually good at golf,"' she joked in the video. 'And all this time I though I' just go down in history as the golf girl with a great set of t***,' she quipped.

Ex-UCLA All-American, longtime pro David Greenwood dies
June 12 - Former UCLA standout and longtime NBA player David Greenwood has died. He was 68. According to UCLA, Greenwood died Sunday in Riverside, Calif., after a battle with cancer. Greenwood was the No. 2 overall pick of the 1979 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls. The Los Angeles Lakers won the coin toss for No. 1 pick and picked legendary Magic Johnson. Greenwood was a four-year starter for the Bruins and averaged 14.8 points and 8.7 rebounds in 118 games at UCLA. He was one of the final recruits of legendary coach John Wooden but the "Wizard of Westwood" retired months before Greenwood stepped on campus in the fall of 1975. Greenwood was a two-time conference player of the year and a two-time first-team All-American, stemming his strong junior and senior campaigns. He averaged 17.5 and 11.4 rebounds as a junior in 1977-78 and followed up with averages of 19.9 points and 10.3 rebounds. He still ranks fourth on the school's all-time rebounding list with 1,022. According to the school, Greenwood ranks third in program history with 52 games of 10 or more rebounds, topped only by legends Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) with 78 and Bill Walton with 75. Greenwood's 49 double-doubles also stand third. Greenwood was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021, and the Pac-12 Hall of Honor in 2017. In the NBA, Greenwood averaged 10.2 points and 7.9 rebounds in 823 games (582 starts) and was a member of the Detroit Pistons' NBA title team in 1990. "We are saddened to learn of the passing of former Piston, David Greenwood, a member of the 1990 NBA Championship team," the Pistons said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones at this time." He played with four teams, including six seasons with the Bulls (1979-85). He averaged a career-high 16.3 points as a rookie and averaged more than nine rebounds as a game on five occasions in his NBA career. Greenwood also played for the San Antonio Spurs for 4 1/2 seasons over two stints and the Denver Nuggets. --Field Level Media

Zach Eflin shuts down Tigers as O's claim late blowout
June 12 - Ramon Urias smacked a two-run home run early and starting pitcher Zach Eflin worked into the seventh inning as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the visiting Detroit Tigers 10-1 on Wednesday night. Jordan Westburg homered in a seven-run eighth inning to join Adley Rutschman, Jackson Holliday, Gunnar Henderson and Urias with two hits apiece for the Orioles, who had lost three of their previous four games. Eflin (6-2), who has won three consecutive starts, limited the MLB-leading Tigers over 6 2/3 innings. He allowed one run on five hits with five strikeouts and one walk. The teams meet in the rubber game of their three-game series Thursday night. Tigers starter Casey Mize (6-2) lasted 5 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on eight hits. He walked two and struck out seven. Eflin held a no-hitter until two outs in the fourth inning, yielding only a walk to Zach McKinstry to that point. Riley Greene's single was the first hit off Eflin. Keegan Akin, Bryan Baker and Gregory Soto completed the combined five-hitter. Urias followed Mullins' leadoff single in the third with his third homer of the season to open the scoring. Colt Keith doubled in Detroit's first run with a seventh-inning double, but the Tigers didn't convert further with runners at second and third base with one out. Wenceel Perez was thrown out at the plate on pinch hitter Dillon Dingler's grounder to third. Rutschman led off the seventh with a double and scored on Henderson's single for a 3-1 lead. Baltimore tacked on another run on Mullins' eighth-inning double. Mullins later scored on Beau Brieske's wild pitch before Ryan O'Hearn's two-run single and Westburg's three-run homer. The Orioles squandered other scoring chances, leaving eight runners on base. Orioles left fielder Colton Cowser, playing in just his second home game of the season, went 1-for-5. Not only did he have a two-month stint on the injured list, his first 10 outings of the season came in road games. --Field Level Media
