Defending champions experience early-season turmoil

By Rashad Milligan | RollingOut

On the court, the 2023-24 season for the defending-champion LSU Tigers has been anything but smooth sailing. The team has won its last five games by 20 points or more, but all of those games have come respectfully against much less competitive teams. In the team’s only game against a ranked opponent, No. 20 Colorado, LSU lost by 14.

All eyes in the women’s college basketball world were on the team entering the season headlined by star returners Angel Reese and Flau’Jae Johnson to go along with Haley Van Lith and Aneesah Morrow, two of the most-sought after players in the transfer portal era, and top freshman recruit Mikaylah Williams. The team’s talent still shines through, with Williams, a freshman, scoring 42 points in a win over Kent State, but it’s obvious all the stars haven’t mastered the art of meshing together as a team through the first six games.

Off the court, the situation appears to be getting even more sticky.

In the Tigers’ game against Kent State, Reese did not play in the second half. When asked why after the game, coach Kim Mulkey declined to reveal a reason. On social media after the game, in screenshots posted by Deloris, a member of “The Committee,” a social-media based group focused on women’s basketball news, it appeared Reese’s mother took to her Instagram story to complain about text messages she’s received.

“Folks,” Reese’s mother posted. “Please do not send me long text messages with a bunch of grammatical errors. It gives me a headache. How do I know what you said if I can’t understand what you’re saying?”

Johnson’s mother then appeared to respond with a post of her own on her Instagram story.

“You definitely know about grammar errors when your daughter has a 2.0 or less GPA,” Johnson’s mother, Kia Brooks, posted. “And, in fact, when writing your smart message, you didn’t capitalize nor did you use any periods.

“Stop being petty, fake and hateful, and take responsibility for your daughter’s actions.”

Brooks also made another post about fake people. Shortly after Deloris posted the screenshots and the messages made their rounds online, the Instagram stories were deleted. Former LSU players Alexis Morris and Jasmine Carson also hinted that the public back-and-forth between the families of Johnson and Reese were bound to happen. Carson deleted her message about hinting at having information that could expose the program’s potential drama, while Morris cryptically posted about some one or somebodies switching up on her in favor of “marketing” or “politics.”

Reese currently has the No. 7 highest NIL ranking in the country among any college athlete, male or female, at a value of $1.7 million, according to On3. Johnson, who is also a rapper and has a distribution deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, is No. 20 on the list with a value of $1.1 million.

In LSU’s 73-50 win over Southeastern Louisiana on Nov. 17, Reese did not travel or play with the team. Mukey, once again, declined to comment on why she didn’t play, but said Reese is still a part of the program and hopes she can play again soon. Until that moment comes, fans are left with nothing but deleted, cryptic social media posts.

NFL: Week Two Recap | Jalen Hurts did not fold; Caleb Williams exits game with injury

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts found Darius Cooper with nine seconds left for the game winning touchdown as his team beat the Tennessee Titans 24-20 in Nashville. Hurts finished the day 26/37 for 264 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions. Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 […]

Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 yards. During the final drive Hurts went 6-8 with 61 passing yards and the touchdown. Titans defensive tackle — and team captain — Jeffery Simmons said this week that the way to defend Jalen Hurts is to make him “play quarterback.”

Hurts said to Simmons after today’s game: “You started that sh**. I had to finish it.”

Running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger in the first half but he ultimately finished the game. He had four carries and nine yards and one catch for eleven yards. He will get an MRI for his injury, but admitted to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network he was fine.

Caleb Williams leaves game against Vikings with apparent lower-body injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was helped off the field with a right leg injury with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Williams was down, writhing in pain after scrambling to his left. After departing the injury tent, Williams raised his right fist, acknowledging the crowd while expressing his frustration. Testing will commence on Monday to find out more details about his injury.

“We’ll know tomorrow,” Johnson admitted regarding Williams’ injury. “He’s in good spirits. He’s a team player.”

Williams finished the day with 138 passing yards and one interception.

“I’m actually happy it’s nothing with the knee — that was my first inclination,” Johnson said. “But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we’ll see. We’ll see how bad it is tomorrow and we’ll go from there.”

Bryce Young once again dominated the Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is 5-1 against the Atlanta Falcons and is undefeated at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Today, Young threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns as he led the Panthers to a 34-3 dismembering of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia Tech alumnus Darren Waller caught two touchdowns and linebacker Devin Lloyd returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.

Cooper Rush started his second straight game for the Falcons and it did not go well. The partisan crowd voiced their displeasure after Rush completed 10/17 passes for 86 yards and two interceptions. Jack Strand entered the game for Rush prompting cheers from the Falcons fans. The rookie threw a pick-six on his first career pass attempt. Strand was the first QB to accomplish that feat since Sam Darnold in 2018 and is the first Falcons player to do that since Brett Favre in 1991. Strand finished the day with 59 passing yards and 16 rushing yards.

According to reports, quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. is expected to make his season debut this Thursday at the Green Bay Packers. His return should help the Falcons. They are the first team since the 2008 Rams to not run any plays in the red zone after the first two games to open a season.

The bright spots for the Falcons today were the Spelman College Jaguarettes performing with the Falcons cheerleaders and Florida A&M’s marching band, The Marching 100, also performed during halftime!

Jayden Daniels gets carted off after apparent arm injury

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared to injure his left elbow on the final play of the first half in his game against the Dallas Cowboys. During the play, Daniels got stepped on, braced himself for the fall, and his elbow bent the wrong way. Daniels draped a towel over his head as he exited the field on the cart.

He was later ruled out.

Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow to the same arm during week nine of last season against the Washington Commanders, which led to him being shut down for the remainder of the season.
