Portland Trailblazers guard Damien Lilliard has expressed that he has no need to even try making the team feeling that he'll be overlooked for a second time. Guys like Paul George, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Carmelo Anthony have attended mandatory practices without physically playing thus far. The popular NBA 2K series will return on September 25th for select customers and September 29th for the the general public. If you can't wait any longer for NBA action, the wait is almost over.

The first NFL preseason game resulted in the Pittsburgh Steelers losing a kicker for the season potentially following his tearing of his ACL. Jets quarterback Geno Smith got his jaw broken by way of a locker room scuffle that may sideline the QB for up to 10 weeks. Due to suspensions of players, it will be interesting to see which line ups take the field for select teams such as the New England Patriots in Week 1. It's officially NFL season again so sit back and enjoy people.
