Here’s an up-to-date list of all NFL Players from Ball High School, Galveston, Texas.

Consequently, players taken in the upcoming draft will not be included until they have seen the field.

The League does not officially recognize players who appeared only in preseason exhibition games.

Ball is a prep football powerhouse, ranked as the No. 1 pro football player-producing high school in the state, and the fourteenth NFL football player-producing high school in the nation.

Texas has produced a total of 2,971 NFL players from 847 schools, with 300 pros currently active.

For the third time in less than a month, Americans have crushed Canadian sports dreams on the world stage.

Behind a strong start from US pitcher Logan Webb and timely hitting throughout the lineup, the Americans struck early and then held on as Canada mounted a sixth-inning comeback attempt at Daikin Park.

The U.S. jumped out to a 5-0 lead by the sixth inning, with RBIs by Kyle Schwarber, Alex Bregman, Brice Turange and Pete Crow-Armstrong. But Canada got right back in the game in the bottom of the sixth, with an RBI single by Tyler Black and two-run homer by Bo Naylor. 

The Canadians had a sure chance to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh, with two men on and no outs, but they failed to score after a popout and then two strikeouts.

Reliver Mason Miller closed the game out for the U.S. in the ninth inning.

The U.S. now advances to the semifinal round against the Dominican Republic and Canada will have to bask in another bitter loss to the U.S. in a major international tournament, amid ongoing geopolitical tensions between the countries.

“Jack Hughes sent the boys a nice little fire-up message that I put out on their group chat,” DeRosa said during a Thursday press conference ahead of the game.

“I know there are some talks about some hockey jerseys being sent in tomorrow for the guys to wear during BP or out and about in the clubhouse.”

In a touching moment that brought warmth to the entire wedding party, Sara Tendulkar shared a heartfelt message for her sister-in-law, Saaniya Chandok, as she married Arjun Tendulkar. Speaking amid cheers and claps from the guests, Sara expressed just how much Saaniya means to her, saying, “Saaniya, you are the sister I always wanted but never had.” She went on to explain that their bond goes beyond traditional titles, adding that Saaniya is “truly more like a sister to me than a sister-in-law.”

This sense of belonging has clearly been around for a long time. Sara mentioned a beautiful thought from her mother, telling Saaniya, “Like my mother said, I cannot welcome you to the family because you have already been a part of this family for so many years.”

Since Saaniya is already such a loved member of the inner circle, Sara felt certain that the future would be bright. She continued her emotional speech by saying, “I am sure your transition is gonna be extremely smooth because everybody loves you and showers you with all the affection in the world.”

The most moving part of the speech focused on the deep love Sara has for her brother Arjun. Recalling what she had mentioned previously, she told the crowd, “As I said at your engagement, my brother is my whole entire heart. And now, my heart belongs to you, Saaniya. So please look after him, love him, cherish him, take care of him, and I am sure he will do the same for you.”

Sara ended her tribute with a shower of good English wishes for the couple’s new life together. She concluded by saying, “I love you both. I wish you all the love, abundance, happiness, and everything in the world.”

Another day, another improbable win by No. 15 seed Ole Miss. That’s been the main storyline of the SEC Tournament qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqNashville this week. The Rebels pulled off yet another upset on Friday, this time over No. 2 seed Alabama, to become the second SEC team to win three games to reach the semifinals.

The 80-79 win over Alabama marked Ole Miss’ third win and three days after winning just four games against SEC competition during the regular season. Ole Miss doesn’t have a case for an at-large bid, but two more wins and the Rebels are in the Big Dance.

No. 1 seed Florida began the day with a 71-63 win over No. 9 seed Kentucky, which was followed shortly after by No. 4 seed Vanderbilt advancing to the semifinals with a 75-68 win over No. 5 seed Tennessee.

The semifinals are now set. Ole Miss will face Arkansas after the Razorbacks pulled off a 82-79 win over No. 11 seed Oklahoma behind another standout performance from star guard Darius Acuff Jr. Florida will play Vanderbilt on the other side of the bracket. 

The winners of those games will play for the SEC title on Sunday.

The Minnesota Vikings have a new quarterback in Kyler Murray, and a new CB3 in James Pierre, and relative quietness aside from that. But the rumor mill never stays dormant.

The rumor mill touches the draft, future assets, and one major defender.

Minnesota will enter the second wave of free agency as early as now, and here’s what to know about current rumors in the meantime.

What’s Circulating in the Vikings Rumor Mill Right Now

The Purple Rumor Mill for March 14th, 2026.

Rumor: The Vikings could find a way to draft Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love.

NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah seems to have the whole thing mapped out. Maybe the Vikings should consider adding him to the front office.

He said on Move the Sticks this week, “If you’re a Minnesota Vikings fan and you look up next year and you’ve got Kyler Murray at quarterback, you’ve got Justin Jefferson, and you’ve got Jordan Addison, and, you’re sitting there with pick No. 18, and you look at the way this draft is shaking out, and you look at a team like Washington, who’s picking seventh. Washington, at that point in time, they do not have a second-round pick.”

“They do not have a fourth-round pick. They only have six picks overall. I think there’s a way Minnesota could get from 18 to 7 without even parting with next year’s 1. I think they have two threes this year; it could be a second-round pick next year.”

This is code for a Jeremiyah Love trade.

The idea spread quickly among purple fans because it is semi-realistic. Minnesota basically has to hope that Love tumbles down the draftboard on April 23rd — or the Vikings trade up for a running back, which is considered taboo.

Regardless, the Murray part of Jeremiah’s endorsement is in the bag. He signed with the club on Thursday evening.

Rumor: Minnesota will once again draft at the top of the compensatory pick process.

Comp picks are in. NBC Sports’ Charean Williams explained the details Monday, writing, “The NFL announced 33 compensatory draft selections in the 2026 draft awarded to 15 teams. Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible for compensatory draft picks. The compensatory picks are positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost.”

“In addition to the 32 compensatory selections awarded under the net-loss formula, a special compensatory selection was awarded to the Lions for the Jets hiring Aaron Glenn as their head coach. The initiative is intended to promote minority hirings. The Lions traded the pick to the Jaguars.”

Like last year, Minnesota will have the first compensatory pick of the draft. In 2025, that was due to Kirk Cousins’s departure for Atlanta. This go-round, it’s the fruit of the Sam Darnold trip to Seattle.

So, yes, this is the Vikings’ one chance to salvage their reputation with the Darnold debacle.

Last year, they used the Cousins comp pick on wide receiver Tai Felton.

Rumor: The Eagles want Jonathan Greenard via trade.

Greenard is suddenly the top EDGE on the trade market with Maxx Crosby remaining with the Raiders and Trey Hendrickson signing in Baltimore.

NFL writer Evan Sidery tweeted Wednesday, “With Trey Hendrickson now off the board, teams who were pursuing him now plan to pivot towards a trade for Jonathan Greenard. The Colts, Cowboys, Eagles, and Seahawks figure to be in the mix with the price being a 2026 Day 2 pick.”

The Athletic’s Alec Lewis added on the same day: “Definitely worth watching Vikings edge Jonathan Greenard with Trey Hendrickson off the board. Multiple NFC teams have been in the market for edge rushers. Vikings haven’t wanted to trade Greenard unless they get a premium return that meets their price tag.”

ESPN’s Kevin Seifert tweeted, “Amid the Maxx Crosby-Trey Hendrickson news, a reminder that the Vikings have been open to trading their top pass rusher, Jonathan Greenard. Doesn’t necessarily have to happen by today’s 4 p.m. ET start of the new league year, or at all, but it’s a timeframe worth watching.”

Who might be looking for an EDGE of Greenard’s caliber?

• Atlanta Falcons
• Dallas Cowboys
• Indianapolis Colts
• New England Patriots
• Philadelphia Eagles
• San Francisco 49ers
• Seattle Seahawks
• Washington Commanders

If the Vikings are serious about contending for a Super Bowl in 2026, it’s worth noting that they might want to keep Greenard. Serious teams don’t usually get rid of pass-rushing talent.

The destination of the Six Nations title will be decided on the final day of the tournament with three teams in the hunt on “Super Saturday”.

Scotland’s epic 50-40 win at Murrayfield derailed France’s grand slam charge, and leaves Gregor Townsend’s side with a real shot at a first championship crown since its expansion in 2000.

Ireland are firmly in the mix, too, and welcome the Scots to Dublin on the final day having beaten their visitors in their last 11 meetings.

France’s snatching of a four-try bonus point in defeat in Edinburgh could well prove crucial, with Les Bleus in control of their own destiny as they host England in Paris in the final fixture of the campaign.

Not only will Fabien Galthie’s side know what they have to do by virtue of playing last, but their vastly superior points difference means a bonus-point win would surely secure them the title.

Scotland, though, will look to put the pressure on earlier in the day. A bonus point win in Dublin would mean that France could not afford to slip up, or even win without a bonus point.

Ireland, meanwhile, will require a helping hand. A win against Scotland would likely put them top of the table (barring a scenario in which they win by two points or fewer, fail to score four tries and Scotland take two losing bonus points in defeat). Andy Farrell and his squad will then hope that England do them a favour by beating France in Paris.

The winner of the wooden spoon is not yet totally certain, either, though such a large points difference swing is required for Wales to usurp England that it is mathematically highly unlikely.

Should two teams finish level on points and points difference, the next tiebreaker would be the higher number of total tries in the tournament.

Supporters of “SF” or Sydney form might already be clued in, though Sibaaq at lengthy odds could fly under most radars.

Out to $11 in betting by Friday’s close, trainer Declan Maher reckons his emerging stable adjacent to the Gold Coast track – surname link to Ciaron Maher notwithstanding – results in his horses being disregarded versus entrenched Brisbane establishments.

Sibaaq was fifth across the line in Rosehill’s Group 3 Parramatta Cup (1900m) on February 21, returning now for the local Gold Coast Stakes (1800m) this Saturday.

“I think that is a general thing with a few of my runners these days as they usually get a bit of extra odds, but we are building the stable and fresh trainers to Queensland.

“In a lot of his starts I think he has blown out in the market,” Maher said.

“He was out to $27 when he just missed out (on winning) by a stride in the Mayor’s Vase.”

An eight-year-old with a 108 Racing and Sports figure from Sydney, after 113 when edged out in the Gold Coast Mayor’s Vase (2050m) on January 23.

Matching that, $23 hope Victoria Road with 61kg has equivalent ratings this time in.

Maher draws attention to robust Sydney form, exemplified by Parramatta Cup champ Piggyback fourth last Saturday in Listed Randwick City Stakes (2000m), while fellow placer Travolta grabbed third in Sunday’s Listed Canberra Cup (2000m).

“He went to my brother Ciaron’s farm in Bong Bong for a week after the Sydney run and his last six weeks have been relatively quiet for him,” Maher added.

“He has only needed a couple of bits of work back home and he likes to get down to the beach at The Spit which is more to keep a smile on his face.

“Hopefully tomorrow he can do the rest.”

The program beyond the Gold Coast Stakes offers Queensland incentive contests including $500,000 QTIS 2YO Jewel and $500,000 QTIS 3YO Jewel, each at 1200m.
