>>Warriors Knock Off Wizards, No White House
(Washington, DC) — Kevin Durant dropped 32 points in front of his hometown crowd as the Warriors knocked off the Wizards 109-101 in D.C. Instead of visiting the White House while in DC, the defending NBA champs toured the National Museum of African-American History and Culture with a group of students from Durant’s old neighborhood.
>>Redskins Don’t Plan To Franchise Tag QB Cousins
(Indianapolis, IN) — Don’t look for the Redskins to franchise tag quarterback Kirk Cousins. Team executive Doug Williams said at the NFL Combine they don’t anticipate tagging Cousins for the third straight year. It they do, they would try and trade the 29-year-old signal-caller. The Redskins acquired quarterback Alex Smith from the Chiefs in January.
>>Steelers’ Shazier Officially Out For 2018
(Pittsburgh, PA) — Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier [[ shay-ZEER ]] is officially out for the 2018 season. He’ll still have a role with the team as he continues to rehab. Shazier suffered a spinal cord injury in December against the Bengals and has been recovering from stabilization surgery. The 25-year-old hopes to return to the field eventually.
>>Colts Won’t Re-Sign RB Gore
(Indianapolis, IN) — The Indianapolis Colts are not bringing back Frank Gore. The veteran running back will enter free agency as he seeks to play his 14th NFL season. Gore turns 35 in May. He never missed a start in three seasons with the Colts and is just 76 yards away from passing Curtis Martin for fifth place on the NFL’s all-time rushing list.
