Remembering Torino FC 75 Years Later: On May 4, 1949, nearly the entire Torino FC team and staff died in a plane crash returning from a match in bad weather. Eleven days later, Umberto Motto took the field when their entire youth team was promoted. Now 92, Motto remembers the team president telling him in the locker room that day, "Boys, your masters are watching you." "Grande Torino" had won four straight championships and was awarded a fifth after the tragedy. Torino has only one championship since.

What Happened to Deion's Colorado Castoffs?: The Athletic tracked 53 scholarship athletes who left Colorado after Deion Sanders' arrival a year ago -- most who were told they were not in his plans. "In our O-line group chat, one of the offensive line coaches texted the group and said, 'Good luck fellas.' And then he just removed all of them. It said these five people were removed from the chat.

LeBron turns 40 next season and there's still talk about where he'll go to lead a team to a title. By that age Michael Jordan was going through the motions playing on a bad Washington Wizards team and taking on a sixth man role because his body couldn't handle a full regular season.
