The Athletic's Josh Robbins reports the current Nuggets assistant had a second interview with Orlando. The team apparently still has additional interviews with other candidates before making a decision. Unseld Jr. is the son of former NBA player and coach Wes Unseld and has worked for the Magic before. In fact, Unseld Jr. has been fired by the Magic before. He was let go when the team fired Jacque Vaughn in 2015. Remember, the Magic kept a portion of that staff when James Borrego was named interim coach and other assistants were kept. I am not saying Unseld Jr. would be a bad choice. He is a respected assistant that has been rumored for head coaching positions before. Still believe the Magic need a coach sooner than later. The new coach should be part of the draft process if they are asked to coach these new players...Reggie Bush wants his Heisman back and his college stats reinstated. A four-year investigation concluded that Bush and his family took extra benefits and lived rent free in an expensive home while playing for USC. While the new NIL rules make it seem like Bush did nothing wrong, he did. Rules change all the time and some things look different today than they did years ago. But Bush and his family knew the rules and broke them then. I personally don't care if he gets his Heisman back but don't act like nothing happened. Same thing for the Fab Five...Speaking of breaking the rules, the Jaguars and Urban Meyer have been fined for violating OTA rules. According to Associated Press reporter Mark Long, the Jags violated rules by conducting a workout with contact between receivers and defensive backs. While that seems petty, the league slapped the team with a $200,000 fine and Meyer got a $100,000 fine. Rules are rules and if you follow them, then you are not breaking the rules...The nickel seems like the most underappreciated coin we have...If you are saying George Steinbrenner would be making changes with the Yankees if he was still alive, then you are forgetting that a lot of his changes were awful moves that hurt the team...Amazing that as we found other sports to focus on, I don't care right now if Aaron Rodgers plays or not for the Packers...You don't see many cliff diving events on TV anymore...The Phoenix Suns won 19 games two seasons ago...Las Vegas wants to pit Pac 12 schools against Big Ten and SEC schools in football season opening games. As I have said before, welcome to what will be the new version of bowl season. Early season big matchups in fan friendly cities...According to Jake's Fireworks, their top selling item is called "One Bad Mother" with multi-blooming crackling flowers. What's not to like?...
