| | | | Pat Williams, who brought Magic to Orlando, dies at 84 | César Araújo, Ramiro Enrique score as Orlando City continues rolling at Nashville | UF’s Billy Napier and Gators ignore the noise at SEC Media Days | | | | Pat Williams was the Walt Disney of sports in Orlando. Just as Disney envisioned tens of thousands of acres of Central Florida swampland as a theme-park paradise, Williams visualized a minor-league sports town in the South as an NBA mecca. | | | | | Pat Williams, along with local businessman Jimmy Hewitt, began the process of bringing an NBA team to Orlando in 1986. | | | | | The Lions (9-9-6) have won four consecutive games by a combined score of 13-2 and with 33 points trail sixth-place Charlotte by 3. | | | | | Jett Howard and Tristan da Silva continued to shoot the ball well from distance but Orlando fell short against the Grizzlies in Las Vegas on Wednesday night. | | | | | Joseph, who will be entering his 14th year in the NBA, last played for the Warriors. He offers a veteran presence to a younger Magic squad. | | | | | Billy Napier and the Gators are not listening to the nay-sayers following a 5-7 season that ended on a five-game skid leading to sweeping offseason changes to UF's staff and roster. | | | | | The offense that finished No. 1 in the NFL last season (401.3 yards per game) and No. 2 in scoring (29.2 points per game) should be even better this season. | | | | | In the last 20 years, the price to play sports as a kid in America has gone from affordable, to semi-affordable to its current state of gross. "The amount of money being shelled out for youth baseball is not worth it, for your average family," said Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg. | | | | | Both players are locked in through 2025 with mutual options for '26, the team announced this week. | | | | | The Lightning on July 1 made an uneasy split with Stamkos, the face of the franchise for 16 seasons. A day after the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 draft left for Nashville as a free agent, Hedman signed a 4-year, $32 million extension that likely will allow him to finish his career in Tampa Bay. | | | |
