There’s one more significant football event looming before Sunday’s Super Bowl, and that’s the NFL Honors, the annual award show where the AP will name this season’s Most Valuable Player, Coach of the Year, and more. This year, the award show will be hosted by actor (and Kansas City Chiefs fan) Jon Hamm, and will feature appearances from celebs like Tiffany Haddish, Tracy Morgan, and Madelyn Cline, along with loads of current and retired NFL stars. The program will also feature a performance from San Francisco-area natives Too $hort and E-40.

The festivities will air at 9 p.m. ET this Thursday, Feb. 5 on NBC and NFL Network. (An NFL Honors Red Carpet Show will air at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network leading up to NFL Honors if you want to see the stars arriving to the ceremony.) Here’s everything you need to know to tune in to the 2026 NFL Honors on Thursday.

The Finnish women’s hockey team won’t open Olympic play against Team Canada on Thursday as originally scheduled. A norovirus outbreak throughout the Finnish team has led to over a dozen players being quarantined ahead of the contest, per multiple reports.

Symptoms of the illness showed up Wednesday, as the Finnish team canceled its training session due to four players being sick. That figure jumped to 14 on Thursday. It’s unclear how many players on the team currently have norovirus. Some players are being quarantined due to possible exposure to the virus.

Because of the quarantine, only 10 Finnish players participated in the team’s pre-game skate. With so few players available for the Finnish team, the game was in jeopardy of being canceled. It was up to the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to make that call.

Both organizations came together quickly following the pre-game skate, postponing Thursday’s game.

The two teams are now set to play Feb. 12.

The following 14 Finnish players are currently either sick or being quarantined due to norovirus:

Goalies: Sanni Ahola
Defenders: Sini Karjaleinen, Elli Suoranta, Ronja Savolainen
Forwards: Michelle Karvinen, Julia Liikala, Emma Nuutinen, Jenniina Nylund, Julia Schalin, Susanna Tapani, Noora Tulus, Viivi Vainikka, Sanni Vanhanen, Emilia Vesa

Vainikka was present at the pre-game skate Thursday, per Claire Hanna of TSN, so it appears she was a late addition to the list of sick or quarantined players.

Finland’s head coach Tero Lehtera pushed for the game to be canceled Thursday, saying he didn’t want to put his players, or Team Canada’s players at risk.

Norovirus is a highly contagious illness that has symptoms similar to the flu. It typically lasts a few days before clearing up.

Thursday’s game between Canada and Finland was set to be a big one. Canada won the gold medal at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, with Finland winning the bronze.

For now, that matchup will have to wait until Feb. 12.

Finland’s next game is scheduled for Feb. 7, when they’ll take on the United States. It’s unclear whether Finland will be able to take part in that contest due to its current quarantine.

It’s been a wild NFL postseason, and the Super Bowl LX participants are finally set.

The Seattle Seahawks took down the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 on the back of an impressive performance from Sam Darnold, while Drake Maye’s New England Patriots withstood the Denver Broncos 10-7 in snowy Denver.

The Jonathan Kuminga situation has, finally, found a resolution as the Golden State Warriors shipped the 23-year-old forward, along with guard Buddy Hield, to the Atlanta Hawks for center Kristaps Porziņģis.

It took the Warriors far too long to reach this stage, but now the youngster will get a chance to flourish elsewhere.

Let’s get into some trade grades.

[Subscribe to Yahoo Sports NBA on YouTube]

Golden State: B-

Oh boy did this team need a center so very, very badly. Of course, you have to wonder if the timing makes sense now that Jimmy Butler is out for the season with an ACL tear.

What does Porziņģis offer Golden State in terms of a raised ceiling if the team can’t offer up the best version of itself? Even setting aside his substantial injury pattern, the Warriors don’t have much hope of making a real run this season, and who knows how this aging team looks in a year?

Porziņģis is a free agent this summer, so there is some hope that he’ll re-sign and offer them a consistent floor-spacing presence throughout next season, and perhaps beyond with Butler back in action.

Advertisement

All in all, this deal is worth it if he stays healthy and is open to staying with the Warriors after the conclusion of this season.

Atlanta: B+

This is a pure upside swing, but one that doesn’t cost the Hawks a lot. Kuminga is cost-controlled this season, and the organization has a team option on him for next season, after which it’s free of any obligation should he fail to pop in Atlanta.

Hield is also easy to cut loose, as he’s on the hook for just $3 million in guaranteed money next year, which is peanuts under this CBA.

While Kuminga will have to defer to Jalen Johnson, he should be higher on the offensive totem pole in Atlanta, providing him with the opportunity to make some noise and some progress under these new circumstances.

MILAN — The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee chose not to put further pressure on LA28 organizing committee chairman Casey Wasserman amid calls for his resignation over flirty emails he exchanged with Jeffrey Epstein associate and convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell.

When asked during a Thursday news conference how concerned he is about the situation, USOPC chair Gene Sykes referenced the statement Wasserman released last Saturday saying that he deeply regretted his correspondence with Maxwell.

“We have nothing to add to that statement,” Sykes said. “It sort of stands on its own.”

Sykes then pivoted to expressing his trust in the Wasserman-led organizing committee responsible for paying for, planning and delivering Los Angeles’ first Olympics since 1984.

“I have more confidence today in LA2028’s operational capabilities, its leadership, the quality of what it’s doing and how well it has executed than I have at any point in time,” Sykes said.

The series of Spring 2003 emails between Wasserman and Maxwell were among the millions of Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice last Friday. In one exchange, Maxwell tells Wasserman that she’d thought of him “at inappropriate moments.” Responded Wasserman, “I think of you all the time… So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit? I am in NY tonight, youre not, what am I to do?”

Weeks later, Wasserman emailed Maxwell that he’s returning to New York City soon and asks, “Can we book that massage soon?” The following day, Wasserman wrote, “I thought we would start at that place that you know of, and then continue the massage concept into your bed…and then again in the morning…not sure if or when we would stop.”

Wasserman was married to Laura Ziffren Wasserman at the time. The high-powered Hollywood agent and businessman divorced his wife in 2021 after two decades of marriage.

“I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light,” Wasserman said in his statement on Saturday.

He also emphasized that he had “never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.”

“I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them,” Wasserman added.

Wasserman was originally appointed chairman of the LA28 organizing committee in 2017 by then-Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetiti. Since the release of the emails with Maxwell, a handful of Los Angeles-area politicians have called for Wasserman to step down from that position.

Wasserman appears to still have the backing of not just the USOPC but the International Olympic Committee as well.

During a press conference in Milan earlier this week, IOC Vice President Nicole Hoevertsz said she had “full trust” in Wasserman and the entire LA28 team.

⚾️ Tigers sign Valdez: Framber Valdez is heading to Detroit on a three-year, $115 million deal, giving the Tigers a durable lefty and two-time All-Star who compiled a 3.36 ERA across eight seasons with the Astros. The $38.3 million average annual value sets a record for left-handed pitchers.

🏒 Panarin to the Kings: The Rangers dealt Artemi Panarin to the Kings on Wednesday ahead of the NHL’s Olympic roster freeze. The four-time All-Star then agreed to a two-year, $22 million extension with Los Angeles.

🏀 This is what dominance looks like

The top brass in men’s college basketball has been remarkably dominant so far this season. How dominant, you ask?

Well, consider this: Three years ago, the AP Top 10 had a combined 36 losses in the first February poll. Two years ago? 40 losses. Last year? 34 losses. This year? Just 18 losses. And nine of those losses came against each other!

(As fate would have it, two top-10 teams lost last night, which was just phenomenal timing for this story. Ugh. But the point still very much stands.)

Top 10:

Wild stat: This past Tuesday marked the third time this season that at least four D-I teams with a 19-1 record or better were in action on the same day. Prior to this season, that had happened three times this century.

The big picture: There are multiple factors at play here, and we’ll dive deeper into the sport’s current landscape at a later date. For now, all I’ll say is this: Clear your calendars in late March and early April. You’re not going to want to miss this year’s tournament.

💯 Big numbers

🏀 88th meeting

This Saturday’s game between No. 4 Duke and No. 14 North Carolina will be the 88th meeting in which both teams are ranked. That’s 47 more than any other matchup (Syracuse vs. Georgetown).

Head-to-head: The Tobacco Road rivals have split those first 87 matches almost exactly, with the Tar Heels holding the slightest of edges in wins (44-43) and points per game (77.9-77.4).

🏈 60 Super Bowls

Just four people on Earth have attended all 59 Super Bowls to date, and all four are set to extend that streak to 60 this weekend.

Who are they? Three are fans — Tom Henschel, 84, Gregory Eaton, 86 and Don Crisman, 89, of the “Never Miss a Super Bowl Club” — and one is photographer John Biever, 74, who’s shot every Super Bowl.

🏒 1.80 ppg

Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov has been on an absolute heater since the calendar flipped to 2026, scoring 39 points (11 G, 28 A) in just 15 games to push his season total to 90 in 50 games. If he keeps up that pace, he’d be just the 12th player in NHL history to eclipse 1.80 points per game in a season.

Advertisement

Who would he join? Wayne Gretzky (11x), Mario Lemieux (6x), Phil Esposito (2x), Connor McDavid (2x), Jaromir Jagr, Mike Bossy, Steve Yzerman, Bernie Nicholls, Adam Oates, Bill Cowley and Jari Kurri.

⚾️ 31 runs

The Dominican Republic’s Leones del Escogido won a 16-15 slugfest over Panama’s Federales de Chiriquí on Wednesday in the Caribbean Series, breaking the tournament record for most runs scored in a single game.

Where it stands: The defending champion Leones are 3-0 entering the final day of round-robin play, after which the top four teams (out of five) will advance to tomorrow’s semifinals. As it stands, the Federales are the odd man out behind two teams from Mexico (Charros de Jalisco, Tomateros de Culiacán) and one from Puerto Rico (Cangrejeros de Santurce).

📈 Vandy AD: This is the moment to invest in women’s sports

This is a guest post from Vanderbilt athletic director Candice Storey Lee, published on National Women and Girls in Sports Day.

From Candice Storey Lee:

Long before women were formally recognized, funded or celebrated by their institutions, they were already competing — playing, organizing and building teams with little more than determination and belief.

The absence of institutional support never erased their talent or ambition. It only delayed acknowledgment of what was already true.

That history matters because it reminds us of a persistent pattern: opportunity often exists before institutions are willing to name it, fund it or lead it. And progress depends on leaders who are willing to close that gap — not with symbolic gestures, but with sustained investment.

Advertisement

Today, on National Women and Girls in Sports Day, we are at one of those moments. Women’s sports are experiencing unprecedented visibility, competitive excellence and fan engagement.

Yet the infrastructure that supports them — scholarships, facilities, staffing and long-term resources — too often lags the reality on the field and court. If we believe in excellence, we must be willing to invest accordingly.

A recent report by McKinsey found that between 2022 and 2024, revenue from women’s sports grew 4.5 times faster than men’s. And yet, even with that growth, revenues generated by women’s sports represent less than 2 percent of the total U.S. sports market.

Advertisement

“The next frontier of growth for women’s sports,” the report concluded, “will be closing this monetization gap and realizing women’s sports’ full potential as a high-revenue market.”

But supporting girls and women in their athletic endeavors goes well beyond the idea of increasing revenues — and it aligns with what we know sports can do for any young person.

It’s also about developing leaders who will help build a better society. Whether a girl or young woman plays competitively in high school or college, goes on to the Olympics or simply plays at the recreational level for the pure enjoyment of the game, sports can teach us so much.

It’s no surprise that studies consistently show that more than 90 percent of women in C-suite positions have a background in playing sports. Studies also show that 85 percent of women who played sports attribute their career success to the skills learned through athletic participation. Count me among them.

Trivia answer: Eagles: Donovan McNabb & Andy Reid (2005), Nick Foles & Doug Pederson (2017), Jalen Hurts & Nick Sirianni (2023, 2025)

LIVIGNO, Italy — Think Lindsey Vonn isn’t motivated to make history this weekend in the Olympic women’s downhill? Think again.

The 41-year old Vonn, who tore the ACL in her left knee during an accident in Switzerland less than a week ago, posted a short video to her Instagram on Thursday showing off a training regimen that would put most people with two healthy ACLs to shame.

Advertisement

Set to the soundtrack of Andy Grammer’s “Don’t Give Up On Me,” Vonn’s video includes footage of her doing a series of barbell squats, agility exercises, side lunges and box jumps with a brace on her injured left knee. Her caption included the following message:

“I’m not giving up, working as hard as I can to make it happen! Thank you to my team and everyone for your incredible support. Keep believing.”

The Instagram post echoes what Vonn said during a press conference earlier this week: She plans to be at the starting gate Sunday for the women’s downhill despite the ACL injury.

Orthopedic experts told Yahoo Sports that while Vonn returning this quickly to an Olympic level of competition does not have much precedent, it’s not inconceivable.

Advertisement

Though the ACL is the main stabilizer in the knee, “what you’re relying on is great eccentric quad strength, hip strength and hip control (plus) external bracing to reduce any of that rotational force,” Dr. Catherine Logan, an orthopedic surgeon at the Joint Preservation Center in Denver who also works with U.S. Ski and Snowboard, told Yahoo Sports. “She can do all those things without an ACL.”

Essentially, while Vonn may risk further damage to her knee, she came out of retirement for this chance at the Olympics. If she feels stable enough on the knee to make it down the hill — and, after multiple knee surgeries across the years, Vonn knows her body well enough to make that call — there is a pathway for her to be competitive in the event.

Advertisement

Vonn must complete a training run to make the starting field for Sunday’s downhill event, but one of her opportunities was eliminated Thursday when officials in Cortina cancelled training due to heavy snow in the area. It’s unclear what the forecast looks like for Friday and Saturday, but according to the rules of the event there must be one training run before the competition takes place.

The Bulls are trading Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips to the Timberwolves, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Thursday, just hours before the trade deadline. Minnesota will receive Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks in return.

This is just the latest move for a Chicago team that has been busy in recent days as it looks to rebuild, shipping out Kevin Huerter, Dario Šarić (acquired in an earlier trade), a 2026 first-round protected swap, Nikola Vučević, Coby White, Mike Conley Jr. and Dalen Terry. In return, including the Dosunmu trade, they’ve added nine second-round picks and nine players, some of whom they flipped in other trades.

Advertisement

Dosunmu was drafted by his hometown Bulls in the second round in 2021 out of Illinois and was named to the All-Rookie team. Now in his fifth season in Chicago, Dosunmu is averaging a career-high 15 points per game, plus 3 rebounds and 3.6 assists.

Phillips was drafted by the Celtics in the second round in 2023 and eventually landed in Chicago after a post-draft trade to the Wizards. The Tennessee product has played minimal minutes for the Bulls over the last three seasons, averaging 3.6 points per game.

This week’s moves signal a shift for a Bulls team that hasn’t made it past the play-in tournament since the 2021-22 season, when they lost in the first round. Chicago hasn’t made it past the first round since the 2014-25 season, Tom Thibodeau’s final year as head coach. This season, they’re 24-27, hovering around 10th in the Eastern Conference.

As for the Bulls’ return, Dillingham has averaged 10 minutes off the bench for Minnesota, scoring 4 points per game, while Miller has played in just 49 games over the past three seasons.

Canadian snowboarder Mark McMorris will not compete in big air after crashing Wednesday night during training and needing to be stretchered off the course ahead of the Milan Cortina Games.

McMorris announced on Instagram on Thursday that he was pulling out of the event and turning his focus to slopestyle, which begins Feb. 16.

“I hit my head and I will not be able to compete in Big Air tonight, unfortunately,” McMorris said. “Fortunately, things are looking up for Slope Style, so [I’m] just trying to stay positive and shift my focus to that event.”

It was unclear what exactly happened, but the Canadian snowboard team described the crash as “heavy.”

“Working in tandem with the Canada snowboard and Canadian Olympic committee medical teams, it was decided that as a precaution, Mark will skip the big air event to focus his efforts on being fully healthy for slopestyle,” said Canada Snowboard team in a statement.

The 32-year-old is making his fourth Olympic appearance for Canada. Qualifying for the big air competition is set for Thursday night, one day before the Opening Ceremony.

McMorris has won three bronze medals in his Olympics career. He claimed third in slopestyle in each of the past three Olympics, and he finished 10th in the big air competition in both the PyeongChang Olympics in 2018 and the Beijing Olympics in 2022. He has won four of his 12 X Games gold medals in the big air competition, which was added to the Olympics in 2018. In the big air competition at the Olympics, riders take off from a ramp that is more than 165 feet tall.

McMorris, per the CBC, suffered life-threatening injuries after he slammed into a tree during a backcountry snowboarding accident in 2017. That resulted in him having a rod placed in his leg, a plate in his arm and another plate in his jaw. Despite that and other significant injuries, McMorris said last month that he felt he was in good health entering these Games.

The men’s big air final is set for Saturday night at the Livigno Snow Park.
