SEATLLE — Jimmer Fredette and the Kings may soon call Seattle home.
Reports are rolling in that the Sacramento Kings are being sold and heading to the Emerald City.
It was rumored that the Kings may be headed to Virginia Beach, Va., but it seems those talks are dead. But the possibility of moving to Seattle looks all but certain.
The Kings organization is in debt and play in the outdated Power Balance Pavilion. What a move to Seattle would mean for former BYU man Jimmer Fredette is still unknown. But Seattle has not had a team since the Supersonics were sold and moved to Oklahoma City in 2008.
The Oregon Rudy
The Oregon Ducks throttled the Kansas State Wildcats in the Fiesta Bowl and receiver Keanon Lowe admitted to faking an injury. Usually that would upset people, but his reasoning is drawing applause and, jeers.
John Canzano of "The Oregonian" writes that Keanon faked an injury so fellow teammate Dane Ebanez could get in the game.
An earlier story Cananzo wrote on Ebanez, describes the walk-on receiver as the "Rudy" of the Ducks team. Even head coach Chip Kelly loves talking about Ebanez.
"He's a perfect example of the meritocracy of college football. Those who work hard can make it here. It's merit based. You couldn't have a successful football program without those unsung heroes that nobody ever talks about," Kelly said to Conanzo.
Apparently Lowe faked an injury just before the final kick-off of the Fiesta Bowl, which gave his back up, Ebanez, a chance to play. Ebanez then got to stay on the field as the Ducks took a knee to end the game.
"It was definitely my highlight," Ebanez told The Oregonian.
Skateboarding at Night
We get so caught up with football, basketball and baseball in these articles that we often forget about some other sports, like skateboarding.
This is an amazing video of some skateboarders at night being filmed with an RC helicopter camera with a light attached to the bottom of the board.
None of the tricks are necessarily jaw dropping, but the visuals and hypnotizing and beautiful in a different and unique way.
Just watch the video and you'll see what we're talking about.
