Avalanche star halts Sidney Crosby trade rumors with 2 definitive words
There's no way the Pittsburgh Penguins will trade Sidney Crosby ... right? RIGHT???? How could they even though the team is heading toward a rebuild? He's an icon, an all-time great and has brought so much to the franchise that drafted him. But all-time greats have been traded or let go in free agency, so it wouldn't be unprecedented. Which brings us to some trade rumors that popped up during the 2025 NHL Draft. Crosby's ex-teammate Georges Laraque tweeted that there was "a good chance Crosby play somewhere else," followed by Kevin Weekes tweeting a photo of Denver. Hmm. But Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon shut that down real quick on Instagram with just two words: Here are those tweets from Laraque and Weekes: Sidney Crosby's agent responded to the trade rumors He called them "baseless rumors," and Rob Rossi had more reporting on the matter: Not really sure what's going on here, but doesn't seem like Crosby's getting dealt to Colorado anytime soon.

Huskers land prediction for top player in the state of Nebraska
Class of 2027 four-star safety Tory Pittman has been projected to the Nebraska football program by Rivals' Greg Smith. Smith put the prediction in on Friday. Pittman is one of the most coveted prospects for the 2027 class. On top of this, he is the top prospect in the state of Nebraska and the second safety in the 2027 class overall, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. Pittman has visited the Nebraska campus several times. He has taken one visit this calendar year, doing so on March 27. He has visited the Huskers six other times, with his first visit coming on April 9, 2024. The safety is coming off a strong 2024 season that saw him record 54 tackles, a sack, and three interceptions, per statistics from The safety will be a challenge to keep in-state, as he has tremendous talent and attention at a national level. Smith's prediction is certainly encouraging, but there is still a long way to go between then and signing day.
