Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Domani Jackson
In what will be a loaded Alabama Crimson Tide secondary this season, there are few names, if any, who are more experienced than cornerback Domani Jackson. Entering year two in Tuscaloosa, Jackson transferred into the Alabama program a year ago, and similar to fellow defensive standout LT Overton, opted-to return to college for another year, bypassing the 2025 NFL draft in the process. With this return to Alabama, Jackson now enters the 2025 season cemented as a starting cornerback, and could potentially be set for a career-year yet again.

Cedric Maxwell expects a bad Boston Celtics season ahead
Former champion Boston Celtics forward and current Boston broadcaster Cedric Maxwell has seen the Celtics at their best and worst, both as a player and as a member of the media. So we ought to take him seriously when he is bracing for what he thinks will be a particularly bad season for the Celtics in their coming 2025-26 campaign. After Boston elected to trade away veterans Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday while letting critical backup big man Luke Kornet walk in free agency to the San Antonio Spurs, it became pretty clear in a hurry that a soft tank for the team was in the cards. When they signed former Minnesota Timberwolves depth players Luka Garza and Josh Minott to help backfill the minutes Kornet, Holiday, and Porzingis will leave behind, it all but confirmed that this was the plan. The hosts of the CLNS Media "Cedric Maxwell" podcast, the eponymous Cedric Maxwell and his co-host John Zannis, took some time on an episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!
