Ricky Barber heard his name echo throughout the Bounce House one last time. It had been over a month since the former UCF defensive tackle last stepped onto the field at FBC Mortgage Stadium during his final game with the Knights. However, he returned to participate in the Caribe Royale Orlando Hula Bowl on Saturday. Barber went out in style, recording 2 tackles, 3 pressures and a sack, drawing a huge cheer from the crowd. “I heard the Bounce House [announcer] go, ‘Ricky Barber,’ and it was just one of those moments,” Barber said of his sack of former Elon quarterback Matthew Downing in the second half.

PORTLAND, Ore. — In the wake of recent postponed NBA games in Los Angeles, the Miami Heat as of Saturday remained on schedule to travel and play there on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers and Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Amid that schedule, coach Erik Spoelstra said ahead of Saturday night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center that concerns about his team’s preparations pale in comparison to the fires that have burned communities to the ground and displaced tens of thousands. “We’ll be able to handle whatever we need to handle,” Spoelstra said after his team’s morning shootaround.

If Tyreek Hill wants out, there’s the door. If the Miami Dolphins receiver wants to be traded, find a trade. There’s a plane leaving town every few minutes. Nobody’s going to miss him too much if he’s on one. Two personally good years don’t give Hill carte blanche to be a constant off-field headache in his third year: Arriving late for meetings; blaming the coach for his dropped catches; quitting on his team by refusing to re-enter a game; throwing a diva tantrum in wanting to be traded — “I’m out, bro”; and contributing to his position coach, Wes Welker, being fired on Friday. Forgiving media and his agent say Hill doesn’t really want to be traded.
