Disrespectful: Madden 27 only gave Browns QB Shedeur Sanders a 69 overall rating for this upcoming season.
In 2025, Shedeur was a Pro Bowler and threw for 1,400 yards, 7 TDs, and 10 INTs with a 56.6 completion % in seven starts for the Browns.
One of the WORST grades ever 🤦♂️

I must be misreading this… Karl-Anthony Towns finished this title run with a +258 plus/minus? Unbelievable.

Paul Skenes is good and all but he keeps getting worse every year. Something to keep an eye on.

Inflation is completely out of control, you can’t even take 3 kids to a Detroit Tigers game anymore without spending an arm and a leg! Crazy!

Crazy but true: the last time a No. 1 seed came back down 3-1 vs. an No. 8 seed was… the Pistons in 2003, who beat the Magic. 🤯

New lotto system rewards teams who stay in the bottom 4-10. If this system had been instituted back in 2018, this would be the Bulls' current roster:
G: Luka Doncic
G: Anthony Edwards
F: Franz Wagner
F: Cooper Flagg
C: Victor Wembanyama
The "3-2-1 lottery" proposal, named to represent the number of lottery balls per team, would expand the lottery from 14 to 16 teams. Teams that do not qualify for the playoffs or play-in tournament but stay out of the relegation zone (spots four through 10) would receive three lottery balls each.
Teams with a bottom-three record -- the relegation zone -- would have just two lottery balls but have a floor of the 12th pick while the rest of the 13 lottery teams could fall as far as the 16th pick.
The 9th and 10th play-in seeds in each conference receive two lottery balls each while the losers of the 7-8 play-in games receive one lottery ball each.
In addition, no team would be able to win the top pick in consecutive years or be able to win three consecutive top-five picks. Teams also would not be able to protect picks in the 12 to 15 slots going forward.

@NBATopShot Quietly just shipped one of their most important updates of all time.
They just uncapped burning/locking of moments to convert to points for the Road to the Ring playoffs event.
You can now mass lock and burn to rise the ranks and exchange points for rewards. We have been begging for more burns, and that road just opened wide. This has huge potential implications moving forward.
TS now has some extremely strong levers they can pull to fix supply issues across all tiers, as well as get creative with rewards of all types.

No Sixers team without either Wilt Chamberlain or Julius Erving has ever beaten the Celtics in a playoff series . . .
Neither is expected to be available for Game 1 on Sunday . . .
