Quick Glance: Anthony Edwards Impresses Fans with Spectacular Dunk of the Year
- Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards raised the bar in the NBA dunk of the year debate by executing one of the most ferocious poster dunks in recent memory over Utah Jazz forward John Collins. Edwards confronted Collins directly, taking flight just inside the free-throw line and completing a dunk with such force that it seemed to have injured his finger. The dunk ignited excitement among the commentators and fanbase.
- The dunk also seemed to cause harm to Collins, who eventually exited the game with a head contusion, as reported by The Athletic's Shams Charania. Predictably, the dunk also stirred up buzz on social media, as fans struggled to comprehend the power of Edwards' finish.

Quick Glance: Chase Young signs with Saints: Former No. 2 overall pick secures one-year, fully-guaranteed $13 million deal
- The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a one-year, fully-guaranteed $13 million deal with Chase Young, one of the top remaining free agents who previously played for the San Francisco 49ers as a former No. 2 overall pick.
- Young was traded from the Washington Commanders to the 49ers at last year's trade deadline. He played nine games for the 49ers last season, recording 10 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks, and six quarterback hits. He also contributed in the playoffs and Super Bowl LVIII.
- Selected as the top pick by the Commanders in 2020, Young earned NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors and a Pro Bowl selection. Despite injuries cutting his playing time short, he showed promise with Washington before the trade, demonstrating his skills on the field.
- Joining New Orleans, Young adds depth to the pass-rushing unit alongside players like Cameron Jordan, Carl Granderson, and Payton Turner. With 16.5 sacks in 43 career games, he aims to validate his status as a key starter in the league.

Quick Glance: Lionel Messi's Absence from Argentina Friendlies Due to Injury
- Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi will miss Argentina's upcoming international friendlies against El Salvador and Costa Rica in the United States due to a hamstring injury.
- Following his substitution in the 51st minute of Miami's victory over Nashville in the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Thursday, Manager Tata Martino cited a physical issue with Messi's right leg as the reason.
- As a result, Messi was unable to participate in Miami's match against D.C. United on Saturday, and the Argentina Football Association (AFA) has officially stated that he will be absent from the squad for the March friendlies.
- Argentina's schedule includes a match against El Salvador at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on March 23, and a subsequent game against Costa Rica at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum four days later. Initially, the plan was for the world champions to hold their March friendlies in China, but this arrangement was canceled.
Bears trade Justin Fields to Steelers, clear way to take a QB such as Caleb Williams with No. 1 pick
apnews.com/article/justin-fields-traded-steelers-bears-2720ac8bd82e00abeb53090c9cf22007
Quick Glance: Bears Trade Justin Fields to Steelers, Pave Way for Promising Quarterback
- The trade of Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears to the Pittsburgh Steelers cleared the path to potentially draft USC's Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.
- Fields is expected to serve as the backup for nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who recently signed a one-year deal with the Steelers.
- Chicago missed out on a significant opportunity by not trading the first pick for a substantial return.
- The historically quarterback-challenged Bears seldom have the chance to select a talent like Williams.
