One year ago, Nick Foles was a veteran backup quarterback who was struggling to find his place in the league. Now he’s the NFL’s hottest-selling star.

No player in the league sold more officially-branded merchandise between March and May of 2018, according to data released by the NFL’s Players Association Thursday. That means that when it came to jerseys, bobbleheads, t-shirts, posters, photos, and more, Foles was the game’s most popular player. Читать дальше...

Smart’s defensive chops and intensity will remain in Boston.

The Celtics’ quest for their 18th NBA championship will continue with Marcus Smart chucking threes and leading the team’s defensive charge. The versatile guard will stay in Boston for the 2018-19 season and beyond after signing a four-year, $52 million deal with the club that drafted him No. 6 overall in 2014.

The deal is a bit of a letdown for Smart, who had previously pegged his own value at more than $14 million per year. Читать дальше...

We have that and more in Thursday’s NBA newsletter.

The Spurs traded Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors for DeMar DeRozan (very) early on Wednesday, ending one of the NBA’s last big summer dramas and creating another. Kawhi didn’t have Toronto on his target list, but one suspects he’ll like it just fine, with the caveat that we know little about new coach Nick Nurse’s pro style. DeRozan, meanwhile, was absolutely heated about what he seems to feel is shabby treatment by the Raptors, who had apparently... Читать дальше...
