Charlie Sheen has made his pick for the NBA’s best player ever – he says it’s not up for debate.
The 60-year-old Hollywood star is making a comeback. Sheen, known for his iconic role on “Two and a Half Men,” recently released a new two-part documentary on Netflix. The longtime Hollywood star is currently celebrating eight years of sobriety, after years of addiction to alcohol and drugs.
Sheen recently opened up to PEOPLE about how he’s been able to stay clean.
“I keep really awful situations on a mobile spinning around my head, like one of those things you would hang over a baby crib,” Sheen said. “And anytime I’m thinking, ‘That’d be a great idea,’ there’s an example that I can go to and just remember that it wouldn’t be a good idea — just the shame, the distress, and the chaos. It’s all still there.”
The longtime Hollywood star was asked who he has as his greatest NBA player ever. Sheen said it’s not up for debate.
Sheen going with Michael Jordan over LeBron James makes sense, as he was quite famous in the 1990s, when the Chicago Bulls star was winning all of his championships.
But many NBA fans will probably disagree.
I tend to agree with him.

ON TODAY'S SCORECARD
Ghost Busting
It hasn’t been the start to the Cam Ward era that many Titans fans would’ve hoped for, but nobody imagined it would be like this.
Sitting at 1-7 through the halfway point of the season, Tennessee has already fired its coach and looks well on its way to earning another No. 1 pick if things don’t improve drastically.
Even worse, the former Miami star has not looked the part eight games into his career — and his first handful of starts are reminiscent of another top selection in the draft that never saw a fourth NFL season.
On Tuesday a comparison of Ward’s first eight starts to Josh Rosen’s was posted. With the record-setting Hurricanes QB tossing for 1,615 yards, five touchdowns and six interceptions, with five fumbles and a 1-7 record.
Meanwhile, Rosen, who was drafted 10th overall by the Arizona Cardinals back in 2018, threw for 1,485 yards with 10 touchdowns, 10 picks and two fumbles on his way to a 2-6 starting record.
Obviously, eight games isn’t a big enough sample size to know whether or not Ward can ever be successful in the National Football League. But that hasn’t stopped some from sounding the alarm on what they’ve seen from the Titans’ No. 1 selection halfway through his rookie year.
The bottom line is here are comparitive stats thru the first 8 games of each QBs strts
Cam Ward Through 8 Starts:
- 1,615 Yards
- 5 TDs
- 6 Interceptions
- 5 Fumbles
- 1-7 Record
Josh Rosen Through 8 Starts:
- 1,485 Yards
- 10 TDs
- 10 Interceptions
- 2 Fumbles
- 2-6 Record
It appears Ward may need to dial Ghost Busters sooner than later. |

GRINDING OUT THE PROFITS
Don’t Buck This
From this week’s Playbook
Football Newseltter:
W MICHIGAN over Ohio U by 6
If you like Bobcats, you’ll be interested to know that Ohio U enters tonight’s MACtion at 11-2 ATS, coming off an ATS win when facing a foe coming off an ATS loss, and they've covered 10-2 ATS in their last dozen games on Tuesday. So where does that leave these two teams? Tied with two other teams (Buffalo and Western Michigan) at 4-1 atop the MAC for openers. A quick look at the conference shows only one bowl-eligible team, and that’s 6-3 OU. With 5-win WMU playing with double revenge and aiming for a bowl-eligible win, we’ll ignore the team trend and back the Broncos tonight. |

Who Is Mike Kafka |
Mike Kafka took a significant risk by accepting the Giants’ interim head-coaching position, one that could make him an afterthought when it’s time for teams to make permanent hires soon after the regular season concludes.
Still, there are a handful of benefits for Kafka betting on himself and showing a willingness to right the ship immediately after Monday’s abrupt firing of Brian Daboll, who went 20–40–1 in three and a half seasons as the Giants’ head coach.
It’s been mostly all downhill since Daboll’s surprising playoff appearance in Year 1 of his stint with the Giants. However, it seemed Daboll was going to at least get the entire ’25 season because of how quickly rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has developed.
However, his excuses had run out for Daboll despite his knack for producing quality offensive schemes.
That’s where the 38-year-old Kafka comes in. If he can make savvy late-game decisions in the remaining games this season while building on the progress Dart has shown in his seven career starts, the rising coach and former NFL quarterback has a legitimate shot of being the Giants’ head coach for 2026.
Interim head coaches rarely get the permanent position. And the ones who do tend to get a short leash, as owners quickly wonder whether they made a mistake at the first sign of trouble.
We can spend all day looking at head-coaching paths, but again, Kafka has his own unique situation that makes him a legitimate option for the full-time position in New York. As Sports Illustrated recently mentioned, he is available candidate of the head coaching job in Tennessee.
Kafka might have to wait for his prized rookie signal-caller because Dart sustained a concussion in the second half of Sunday’s loss against the Bears. |

Chris Fallica of Fox Sports noted: Of Notre Dame’s seven wins this season, three have come against last place teams in the ACC, Big Ten, and SEC – Boston College, Purdue, and Arkansas, teams that are a combined 0-18 in league play and 5-24 overall (with only two of those wins against FBS teams).
So where does that leave the Pitt Panthers this Saturday?
The Irish are 5-1 SU and 3-3 ATS versus winning foes this season, with the sole loss by one-point to 9-0 Texas A&M.
So, the bottom line is you can spin it anyway you choose. Us.
I’m not jumping in front of Touchdown Jesus anytime soon. |
