SALT LAKE CITY -- The son of Utah Jazz great Karl Malone has committed to play at LSU.
But Karl Malone Jr. (who goes by KJ) isn't playing basketball. Even though he is built solid like his dad, this Malone, all 6 feet 4 inches, 290 pounds of him, will play offensive line for Les Miles.
So "little" Malone, who plays for Cedar Creek School in Ruston, La. didn't quite get his dad's height, but he certainly got his dad's mean streak.
It makes you wonder if it's Isiah Thomas' son on the other side of the line of scrimmage.
Nike takes over the NFL
After having glamorized college football uniforms (check out the University of Oregon) Nike has moved into the professional ranks, becoming a new NFL partner and taking over uniform and gear design from Reebok.
The NFL and Nike unveiled the new unis Tuesday with a new sleeker look, but for the most part stayed true to what NFL fans have come to expect. Check out the image gallery for a look of your favorite team's new look.
Nike says the new unis are stronger, lighter and tighter and CNBC's Darren Rovell reports players "love the Flywire neck (because it) will make it harder to tug."
The Seattle Seahawks seems to have undergone the most drastic change, by adding some neon green to the trim.
Anything to keep fans from paying too much attention to product on the field, I guess.
Aaron Rodgers can play baseball too
And here's your proof.
Okay, the Green Bay Packers quarterback is really just part of the Milwaukee Brewers' ad campaign for the upcoming baseball season, but it is pretty funny.
The team's coach and GM are sitting in the stands complimenting the "pitcher" for his speed and accuracy, but aren't too sold on his delivery. Watch to see why.
Alley oop Hail Mary
From football on the diamond to football on the hardwood.
Some high school players began an Iowa all-star game with a little razzle-dazzle and a play out of the football coach's playbook.
After winning the tip, the center got into a three-point stance while the remaining four lined up- two at the line of scrimmage, two in the backfield.
One of the "receivers" goes in motion, the "quarterback" receives the snap, takes a couple of dribbles and throws a half court alley oop for the touchdown... er, I mean the slam dunk.
It seems like something the Harlem Globetrotters would do against the Washington Generals, but that wouldn't be fair to the other team.
Big oops in the Big Easy
While Kentucky fans were getting ready to terrorize Lexington did anyone else notice the big blunder during the NCAA Championship game?
The NCAA advertisement for next year's Final Four running below the scorers table for the whole world to see read:
"2013 MEN'S FINAL FOUR- ALANTA"
See something missing? Yeah, so did half the United States.
Atlanta is missing a necessary "t".
From my understanding next year's Final Four will be in the bustling metropolis in the state of Georgia and not the small remote town of 646 residents in Lithuania.
Then again, the NCAA has done stranger things, like support the BCS.
Low blow, I know. But hard to argue, right?
