Tropical Storm Isaias threatens Georgia-Alabama
Week 6 of the 2026 college football season has a pair of games between ranked teams on the slate, starting with No. 21 UCLA at No. 13 Oregon early in the day and then the massive SEC tilt between No. 2 Georgia and No. 6 Alabama in prime-time.
Vikings sign Odell Beckham Jr … for some reason
The Minnesota Vikings are signing veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in one of the more eyebrow-raising moves we’ve seen in a while. Minnesota is sitting at 4-0 on the back of a phenomenal defense, but the team is struggling to move the ball through the air despite having Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings. This makes adding OBJ an extremely curious move, and one that could signal larger ramifications down the road.
LeBron James’ helicopter trips are sketchy benefits outside of his Sixers contract
LeBron James decided to suit up for the 76ers this season, but that sure doesn’t mean he wants to live in Philadelphia. In fact, he’s going to extraordinary lengths to avoid being there any longer than necessary. News emerged this last week that LeBron has decided to live in New York for the 2026-27 season, commuting to Philly for games and practice.
Khalil Mack trade rumors: Landing spots for the Chargers pass rusher
We’re already a quarter into the NFL season and the NFL trade deadline looks in in about a month. Speculation is rising about players around the league moving in a trade and one such name to watch is Los Angeles Chargers veteran pass rusher Khalil Mack. The Chargers are a bitterly disappointing 0-4 and Mack, 35, is a pending free agent. It makes perfect sense. There would likely be big interest in Mack since his price tag would likely be modest. Every team is looking for more pass-rush help and Mack can still bring it.
Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge got emotional watching hometown Padres fans sing ‘All the Small Things’ during MLB Playoffs
Tom DeLonge had no idea he was writing a generational smash hit when his band blink-182 released “All the Small Things” as the second single off their breakout third album “Enema of the State” in 1999. Legend has it that the album was mostly complete when DeLonge headed to the studio to track one more song meant to be a radio-friendly single, complete with a “na-na, na-na, na-na” chorus as a subtle nod to punk heroes The Ramones.
8 NBA breakout player candidates who could change the 2026-27 season
Every NBA season is defined in part by the players who take an unexpected leap. The Detroit Pistons went from 44 to 60 wins largely because big man Jalen Duren ascended into an All-NBA player at age-22. The Portland Trail Blazers made an unexpected playoff appearance after Deni Avdija grew into a first-time All-Star. The Atlanta Hawks turned into a plucky playoff team after trading Trae Young in part because Nickeil Alexander-Walker leveled up as a starter in the backcourt.
George Russell’s F1 title comeback gets tougher
George Russell was already facing a steep hill in his comeback effort in the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship chase.
NWSL Power Rankings Matchweek 24: Contenders vs. pretenders
We are a month away from the NWSL playoffs kicking off and the contenders have started to separate themselves from the pretenders. Seven of the top eight teams picked up results this week. Each team is pushing for a top four seed and a home playoff match. Who has taken care of business and who continues to fall? NWSL Power Rankings Matchweek 24 1. Gotham FC | 1-1 draw vs Angel City FC Jaedyn Shaw keeps building on with her career season, reaching double-digit goals for the firs
Bryce Young is dispelling all the narratives about NFL QBs
A glorious case of football whiplash is happening in Charlotte. The Carolina Panthers, a franchise defined by Cam Newton’s monstrous frame for a decade, made the decision to swing to the other end of the spectrum. Stepping into Newton’s giant shoes was Bryce Young, a diminutive 5’10 quarterback who barely reached the shoulders of his offensive line, weighed 204 pounds soaking wet, yet carried the same level of hope and desperation that Newton was met with when he arrived in Carolina as a No. 1 overall pick: Please, let this guy be the one.
NFL Power Rankings: Giants hit Top 15 before Week 5
The New York Giants have quickly become a team to watch in the NFC. On paper so much should be going wrong for them with the loss of Jaxson Dart and top pass rusher Brian Burns, but instead we’ve seen John Harbaugh turn this team into a winner with some swagger, now sitting atop the NFC East and looking down on those around them.
7 NFL truths we already believe after 4 weeks
Four weeks of play in the NFL is where the rubber starts to meet the road. Everyone has had time to ease their way into the season, with teams more or less running where they should be for the remainder of the year. It’s been one of the most surprising starts to a season in recent memory, with locks plummeting, underdogs rising, and a full shakeup coming around the league.
The Buffalo Bills need to grow up, the Broncos don’t trust Bo Nix, and more NFL hot reads
The Bills are still the Bills. In some ways that, makes them one of the NFL’s best teams. In other ways, it scares their fans to death.
LeBron James’ chronic injury issues revealed ahead of first season with 76ers
No player in NBA history has ever played 24 seasons before. LeBron James is about to change that. James signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in the most shocking move of the NBA summer to chase his fifth championship. He’s already the eighth oldest player in league history to start the season, and he’ll turn 42 years old in December. James has been remarkably durable throughout his career, but nagging injuries started to pop up during the end of his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Big East men’s basketball preseason power rankings for 2026-27
Over the last two seasons, the Big East has transitioned from “the most competitive power conference in college basketball” to “the Dan Hurley vs. Rick Pitino show.” Will that change in 2026-27? Let’s explore. 1. UConn Huskies 2025-26 Record: 34-6 2025-26 Conference Finish: 2nd There’s a pretty straightfo
The Rockets are a huge pain in the ass in the best way possible
In 2022-23, the Sacramento Kings became the darlings of the league, storming to the third-best record in the Western Conference, ending a dreaded playoff drought, and pushing the then-reigning champion Golden State Warriors to the brink in a cinematic seven-game series.
Yankees’ errors are only part of the problem for New York
The New York Yankees are facing elimination after dropping Game 2 of the ALDS to the Tampa Bay Rays. And while drops are part of the story, they do not tell the complete tale of woe.
F1 standings: 2026 Constructors’ Championship
In the Formula 1 world, the Drivers’ Championship fight captures all the headlines. 22 drivers, fighting it out on the track for individual glory and racing immortality.
Tyquan Thornton injury: Chiefs WR could be back late this season after getting return timeline
Update Oct. 5: Tyquan Thornton’s season isn’t over yet. The Chiefs wide receiver will have surgery this week, and the team hopes he can return for the playoffs or even the end of the regular season. Thornton is looking at a return timeline of 12-16 weeks, according to insider Ian Rapoport. The Chiefs have a bye next week, then 13 more games before the playoffs start. They’re one of three teams who currently sit at 4-0 league-wide, and the only undefeated team in the AFC.
The NFC South is dumb, but now it’s actually getting good
There’s no question that the NFC South has always been weird. It’s football’s most chaotic division, occupied by four teams often more intent on beating themselves than each other. Only in the NFC South could we see things like the Falcons’ 28-3 Super Bowl collapse, Cam Newton not diving on the ball, or four consecutive years of a division winner hovering around .500.
Ben Johnson made QB Case Keenum the Bears starter for 1 snap for extremely petty reason
The Chicago Bears had a quarterback decision to make heading into their Week 4 game against the New York Jets. With starter Caleb Williams still sidelined by a very real hamstring strain, head coach Ben Johnson had to choose between Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent. Bagent ended training camp No.
Alex Ovechkin announces retirement to Capitals teammates to start 22nd season
Washington Capitals great Alex Ovechkin made it official on Monday. The 2026-2027 season will be his last one in the NHL. Ovechkin first shared the news with the rest of the Capitals in the locker room, telling the team “this is going to be my last year,” and that it was important to him and his family that his Washington teammates knew the news first: Ovechkin then shared a lengthy statement on social media, noting that he wanted to share the news before Washington’s first home g
Jackson Koivun officially joining TGL’s Motor City Golf Club
TGL’s Motor City Golf Club has a lot of juice. For those unaware, the third season of TGL will feature a franchise making its debut in Motor City Golf Club. It had previously been announced that Brooks Koepka would be a part of MCGC and on Monday morning the team announced that the sensational Jackson Koivun will also be a part of their franchise. From TGL and MCGC:
Banana the Seahawks corgi was a diabolical legend
It brings my heart joy to see that goofy halftime show entertainment is alive and well. In Seattle we had the CORGI CUP more importantly Banana the Corgi, who is the evil genius of the world of corgi racing.
Alabama is, finally, a legit national title contender again
In the first two years of the 12-team College Football Playoff, Alabama was the perfect illustration of a new kind of “contender.” The expanded format created a liminal space at the back end of the bracket, like the “bubble teams” in March Madness. The 2024 Crimson Tide were the first team out of the field, and if they’d made it, a team that had just lost by 21 to a bad Oklahoma team was not going far. The 2025 Tide were the second-to-last team in.
Vikings’ bizarre 4-0 start is powered by defense and a whole lot of field goals
The Minnesota Vikings are 4-0, standing today as one of the three undefeated teams left in the National Football League.
Falcons vs. Saints on ‘Monday Night Football’: #TailgateTogether is bigger than the game
NEW ORLEANS, La. — The sun rose on Sunday in New Orleans just to hide behind heavy clouds that drizzled soft rain on everyone waiting outside of the New Orleans Mission for the #TailgateTogether crew. The humidity made the air oppressive and heavy; everyone was thirsty. And there weren’t enough waters to go around.
NFL fans believe Todd Bowles is on the hottest seat
While Monday Night Football between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons still lies ahead, the NFL is through nearly four weeks of the 2026 NFL season. Three teams — the Kansas City Chiefs, the Minnesota Vikings, and the San Francisco 49ers — are undefeated, and three teams are without a win to open the season.
Travis Hunter broke Tee Higgins’ ankles for the NFL’s best juke that didn’t count
Travis Hunter was drafted No. 2 overall to be the NFL’s first two-way superstar of the modern era. The Jacksonville Jaguars were already willing to give up the experiment after a disappointing rookie year, and this season Hunter has focused his time on being a full-time cornerback. Hunter only had one catch for eight yards through four games so far this season, but he’s looked good at cornerback for a Jaguars team that suddenly feels like a contender out of the AFC.
NFL winners and losers: Nick Sirianni sucks
The Philadelphia Eagles’ loss to the Rams in Week 4 doesn’t appear to be that bad in isolation. It was a narrow loss to a good team, the defense performed, and at first glance you might mistake the game for simply being a bad break. Dig a little deeper, and you see that Philadelphia simply isn’t performing up to the ability of its roster. You follow the flowchart up to the top when that happens, and the buck stops with Nick Sirianni.
Jackson Chourio, Brewers walk it off against Mason Miller
The Milwaukee Brewers are one win away from a return trip to the NCLS. And for the second consecutive game, Jackson Chourio played the role of hero. In Game 1, Chourio hit a two-run home run to tie the game early, opening the door for a solo shot off the bat of William Contreras for the eventual 3-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night. But Sunday in Game 2, Chourio and the Brewers walked it off for the win, against one of the best closers in all of baseball.
Efton Chism III’s amazing one-handed TD catch might have saved the Patriots’ season
Drake Maye has been absolutely dreadful to start the 2026 season to follow a breakout second season that almost earned him league MVP. Maye and the New England Patriots badly needed a win over Buffalo Bills in Week 4 to build some positive momentum and avoid a 1-3 start. Maye played by far his best game of the season, and he gave the Patriots a chance to win by hooking up with wide receiver Efton Chism III for a clutch fourth quarter touchdown.
Keon Coleman’s preposterous catch offers a glimpse of what he could mean for Bills
Perhaps few players entered the 2026 NFL season under a bigger microscope than Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman.
Lamar Jackson injury: Ravens star sprains ankle vs. Titans
Lamar Jackson is questionable to return after spraining his ankle against the Tennessee Titans in Week 4. Jackson was tripped up by a Titans defender during the third quarter and hurt his ankle on the play. He was replaced by Tyler Huntley at QB. Watch the play here: Jackson was on the sidelines for the Ravens’ next drive:
Jets get first interception since 2024!
One of the NFL’s longest, strangest streaks is finally over. The New York Jets have an interception. Last season, Aaron Glenn’s defense became the first in league history to go the entire season without an interception. The inability to generate a turnover sparked thousands of film breakdowns, and even found a way into the Los Angeles Chargers’ annual schedule release video. Through three weeks of the 2026 NFL season, the Jets were still searching for that interception.
Ja’Marr Chase injury: Bengals WR hurt on scary tackle vs. Jaguars
Ja’Marr Chase is down after a scary tackle in the second quarter Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chase caught a pass in the left flat from quarterback Joe Burrow, and as he was trying to pick up yardage upfield, his facemask was grabbed by a defender. As the Cincinnati wide receiver was twisted to the turf, he was then hit in the upper body by a second defender, staying down on the turf after the awkward sequence. You can see the scary tackle here: Here is another angle of the tackle:
Saquon Barkley injury: Eagles star hurt vs. Rams
The Philadelphia Eagles face an uphill fight today against the Los Angeles Rams with several key players out due to injury, including DeVonta Smith and offensive tackle Lane Johnson, who was ruled out due to personal injuries.
Marcus Mariota played 2 drives against Colts and led Commanders in rushing
This week’s trip to London to take on the Indianapolis Colts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ended with a loss for the Washington Commanders.
Jonathan Taylor had touchdown celebrations ready for London in Week 4
The Washington Commanders are on their second quarterback of the game against the Indianapolis Colts, as a knee injury to starter Marcus Mariota opened the door for rookie Athan Kaliakmanis.
Marcus Mariota injury: Commanders QB leaves Colts game due to knee injury
Update: Marcus Mariota has now been ruled out by the Washington Commanders: The Washington Commanders are facing a mounting injury situation at quarterback. With Jayden Daniels sidelined after dislocating his left elbow, Marcus Mariota earned his second consecutive start on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in London. But now the backup is headed to the locker room after an awkward sack, and having suffered an apparent knee injury. Mariota was injured on this play against the Colts: Marcus Mariota –
F1 claims ‘unprecedented’ circumstances for chaotic start in Malaysia
Formula 1’s return to the Sepang International Circuit for the first time since 2017 was a memorable one for Max Verstappen. Not only had Verstappen won that final Malaysian Grand Prix back in 2017, but this weekend he secured pole position for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia — his first pole position in nearly a calendar year — but he picked up his first win of the season by taking the checkered flag.
NFL survivor picks, strategy: Week 4 safe, value, and trap options
October is upon us! The NFL heads into Week 4 and with the fall weather, football really and truly is in the air!
Kelsey Mitchell’s future, Caitlin Clark extension and 3 more takeaways from Fever exit interviews
The Fever did not expect to be reflecting on their season on Saturday morning. Built on the back of a historic offense, Indiana felt it had a real chance to make a deep playoff run. But a “buzzsaw,” as general manager Amber Cox called them, in the Aces ended their season for the second consecutive year. “That part sucks, man,” Kelsey Mitchell said. “I thought we had put in a lot of work to be the last couple of teams standing. It was unfortunate. It sucked. It hurt to not really be the last four standing.”
The Padres don’t look like underdogs against 103-win Brewers
The Padres face the league’s winningest team in the Division Series, but don’t call them underdogs. It seemed unlikely the Padres would ever make it this far. They closed out June with an eight-game losing streak and limped into the All-Star break with a .500 record. That’s something of a death sentence in the NL West, where the juggernaut Dodgers demand perfection to unseat them at the top. The Padres playoff odds fell as low as 7.4% in the final week of July.
Tony Romo is out at CBS Sports after DUI plea
Tony Romo’s tenure at CBS Sports alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson has come to an end. The network announced on Friday that the two sides have mutually agreed to part ways. “CBS Sports and Tony Romo have mutually agreed to part ways. We thank Tony for his contributions over the past nine years and wish him the best moving forward. “JJ Watt will continue to partner with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson on our lead NFL announce team for the rest of the season. All other teams remain the same, including Ian Eagle, Ross Tucker and Evan Washburn.”
Meet Kamario Taylor and Keelon Russell, the star recruits turned breakout QBs for Alabama-Mississippi State
Week 5 of the 2026 college football season has some massive games on the calendar. Fresh off a road stunner against Michigan, No. 14 Iowa looks to keep that going in Columbus against No. 5 Ohio State. Florida, now ranked No. 8 in the nation, faces a tough road test in Columbia against No. 25 Missouri.
The WNBA didn’t screw the Fever. Indiana is 1-2 pieces away from a championship
The Indiana Fever became the most popular team in the WNBA by an exponential factor after drafting Caitlin Clark. Fever fans pack every road game and help put up huge ratings every time the team is on national TV. Clark is the most celebrated player of the modern era, but her legions of fans have never seen her win a championship. Clark failed to win a state championship in high school at Dowling Catholic, and she came up just short of a national championship during her legendary four years with the Iowa Hawkeyes in college.
Deshaun Watson’s vile rehabilitation campaign was the focus of Thursday Night Football
It was impossible to watch Thursday Night Football without being beaten over the head with veiled references to Deshaun Watson’s past. In what’s become one of the most disgusting rehabilitation campaigns in recent memory, Kirk Herbstreit, in particular, slobbered over Watson for the better part of the game, rebranding alleged sexual assault against 27 women as “past troubles” and turning the Browns’ recent success into a tale of overcoming adversity.
The NBA’s new rule emphasis could hurt Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and actually give defenses a chance
The NBA has a couple new points of emphasis every year when it comes to the officiating, and the top focus ahead of the 2026-27 season could have a big impact on some of the best players in the world. The NBA intends to give defenses more of a chance to actually play defense this season, and superstars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jaylen Brown are going to have to adjust their games quite a bit … if the officials actually stick to calling it all season.
MLB Playoffs 2026: Scores, schedule, TV, and more
The MLB playoffs are here. Starting on Tuesday, September 29, 12 teams remain alive in the chase for the World Series. But by the middle of October, only two teams will be left standing. The Los Angeles Dodgers are chasing an elusive three-peat, as only four teams — and two organizations — have pulled off that accomplishment.
Fever eliminated by Aces as Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell falter
The Fever went as far as Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark took them this season. Considering they had arguably the greatest season any backcourt has had in league history, a lot of times, that was pretty far. But with a chance to exorcise some demons on Thursday, the pair ran out of gas. For the second straight season, Indiana’s season ended in a do-or-die game in Las Vegas as the Aces came away with a 94-83 win. It was a night where Mitchell and Clark combined for 41 point
AEW’s emotional tribute to Pac showcased pro wrestling at its very best
PITTSBURGH — Emotion. That’s a word you’ll read a lot in this piece because there was an immeasurable amount of it inside the Petersen Events Center for a very somber episode of AEW Dynamite.
NFL Expert Picks for Week 4
There’s no way to sugarcoat it: Week 3 was an absolute mess for NFL picks. We had been feeling pretty good about ourselves until Sunday rolled around and slapped us upside the head with the Commanders upsetting the Seahawks, the Steelers beating the Bengals, and Carolina falling to Cleveland.
Why Seattle Reign locked down USWNT future star as franchise cornerstone
It all started on July 19, 2024 with the use of the NWSL’s Under-18 Entry Mechanism, Seattle Reign would find their heir apparent to club legend, Lauren “Lu” Barnes, who played 13 seasons for the club.
NFL Power Rankings: Raiders surge ahead of Week 4
The Las Vegas Raiders are one of the best stories in the NFL right now. It may still be early in the season, and they’ve beaten struggling teams with a combined record of 1-8 — but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re one of five undefeated teams in the league after three weeks. Klint Kubiak has worked wonders in his first year as head coach, and it’s not just the 3-0 record that shows this, but more critically how the Raiders are winning. The team currently ranks 7th in points scored (up from 32nd in 2025),
Munetaka Murakami’s drunk White Sox interview was beyond incredible
What the Chicago White Sox have done in 2026 is why sports are so great. A perennial punching bag, and Major League Baseball’s biggest laughingstock a year ago has transformed into a baseball powerhouse, and on Wednesday night they proved it. The ChiSox cruised to a 7-3 win over the Astros in the AL Wild Card, clinching 2-0 and moving on.
Joey Porter Jr. trade grades for Cowboys and Steelers after CB gets dealt for future draft picks
Joey Porter Jr. is headed to the Dallas Cowboys, according to multiple reports. A contract standoff with the Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as a lingering back injury, saw Porter stay on the sidelines to begin the season. But now thanks to a trade — the third between Pittsburgh and Dallas in recent years — Porter is headed to the NFC East. In the deal, the Cowboys are sending a 2027 sixth-round pick, and a 2028 second-round pick, to Pittsburgh in exchange for the cornerback, who was the 32nd selection by the Steelers during the 2023 NFL Draft.
Mike Tomlin’s Minecraft city is the most fascinating thing an NFL coach has ever done
Tuesday night was a beautiful lead-in to October, the best month on the sports calendar. Major League Baseball offered four playoff games for sports fans, while the WNBA served up a pair of playoff contests, including a clash between Dallas and Golden State that ended in overtime. But the real magic was playing out on YouTube. That is where shortly after 8:00 p.m. Eastern none other than former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was introducing the world to his Minecraft city.
24 NBA players who look super weird in new jerseys this season, starring LeBron, Giannis, Ja Morant, and more
It wasn’t long ago that the NBA Finals felt like they were already a formality when teams reported for training camp to start the new season. The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers faced off in four straight championship series from 2015-2018, which was part of a longer run of LeBron James’ team making eight straight trips to the NBA Finals.
NFL picks 2026: Full list of Week 4 predictions with confidence levels
Welcome to October and the fall! The weather is getting nicer and football is well and truly in the air as we near the end of the first quarter of the 2026-27 NFL regular season.
WNBA’s latest award winner on the brink of elimination
Dallas Wings forward Jessica Shepard was named the WNBA’s Most Improved Player after securing 29 of 74 media votes, the league announced Wednesday. Shepard averaged 14.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in her first season with the Wings, a substantial increas
Kenny Gainwell interview: Buccaneers must keep calm to move past 0-3 start
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not panicking. Nobody wants to start winless through three games, and unfortunately for the Bucs they are 0-3 at the moment. Complicating matters is that they are going to be without quarterback Baker Mayfield for a bit due to a thumb injury which means that they will likely be leaning on the ground game. Enter Kenny Gainwell. Gainwell has picked up notoriety throughout his NFL career for the stints he had in Pennsylvania with the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The most and least injured teams in the NFL
Injuries are unavoidable when it comes to the NFL, but some teams are in a much worse place after three weeks than their compatriots. Whether it’s a series of nagging injuries to starters or catastrophic season-ending events, there are some teams around the league that can legitimately say that they’re struggling right now due to injuries.
The Timberwolves are the NBA’s ultimate boom-or-bust team
Normally, when a sportsbook, like FanDuel, sets a regular season win total, the team ends up right around that range. For instance, the Charlotte Hornets over/under win total is set at 37.5. Given that they are projected to be right on the fringes of the playoff/play-in picture in the Eastern Conference, it seems pretty likely that they will be in that 35-40 win ballpark.
F1 Grand Slams, explained
George Russell’s dominant performance at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix vaulted him back into the Drivers’ Championship mix, as he now trails teammate Kimi Antonelli by 66 points with eight race weekends remaining on the schedule, at least for the moment.
Marcus Mariota, Brandon Dorlus, and Jevón Holland are the NFC’s Week 3 Secret Superstars
Superstars may lead the discussion when it comes to success in the NFL, but more often than not, it’s the guys you barely know who will make the plays needed when they’re needed. Such players can be underrated for all kinds of reasons. Perhaps they’re playing in a smaller market, and the media isn’t appropriately trumpeting their exploits. Maybe they’re hidden in a depth chart behind bigger names who may not be doing as much.
Esteban Ocon confirms his Haas F1 fate
Esteban Ocon made it official on Wednesday morning. He will not be returning to Haas for the 2027 Formula 1 season. Ocon’s status as Haas has been an open question throughout the past few months, as the veteran driver struggled to keep pace with teammate Oliver Bearman. Ocon entered last weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix with just three points on the season, and while he more than doubled that total with an eighth-place finish — one spot ahead of Bearman — it was not enough to keep his spot.
Caitlin Clark, Fever swing back to force Game 3 vs. Aces
INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark didn’t intentionally get a technical foul in Game 2 against the Aces. But she didn’t go out of her way to avoid it, either.
Why Alexia Putellas is the favorite for the 2026 Ballon d’Or Feminin
The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony takes place at the end of October and the strongest candidate to win the award on the women’s side is London City Lionesses midfielder Alexia Putellas. If Putellas does indeed win her third career Ballon d’Or, it will be for the work done prior to her high-profile move to England this summer, as she was the centerpiece of a historical season for Barcelona Femení and was also crucial to Spai
Eric Schmitt’s ‘gotcha’ of Jack Smith hilariously mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes
It’s not often we get a cataclysmic sports gaffe on Capitol Hill, but Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Missouri) gave us something absolutely incredible on Tuesday morning. In what can only be described as “the Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes of attempted gotchas,” Schmitt confidently dropped what he believed would be a smoking gun in causing Jack Smith to perjure himself as part of the probe into Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump.
We read the Protect College Sports Act. Here’s what’s really in it
The United States Senate passed the controversial “Protect College Sports Act” (PCSA) on Monday evening and if the House of Representatives returns to work and votes on the bill, it would then go to the White House for President Trump to sign it into law.
Ben Johnson turned his Madden fantasy into reality with the Bears
Ben Johnson, born in 1986, grew up in the heyday of the Madden era. Johnson’s signature style of play calling has always seemed heavily indebted to the way someone would play video game football, with aggressive fourth down calls, intricate passing designs, and a love of mobile quarterbacks. The Chicago Bears head coach couldn’t hide a smile when a reporter asked if he ever played Madden as a younger man last season.
Rob Gronkowski interview: Gronk believes a Cowboys Super Bowl would be epic
The Dallas Cowboys and the Super Bowl. Believe me, I recognize the idea is absurd. But it is one that I think about every day for both personal and professional reasons and, if you’ll go with me here, I think this actually happening would be one of the biggest moments of our lives. Don’t take my word for it, though. Consider that of Rob Gronkowski, someone who knows what the Super Bowl is all about.
The Raiders are done being punchlines
The NFL regular season is a race — one that the Las Vegas Raiders have struggled to run for the better part of a decade.
MLB Playoffs 2026: Picks and predictions for every round, including World Series champ
Predicting the MLB Postseason is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but the haystack is buried in a sealed government vault thousands of feet underground to protect it from a potential nuclear attack. An MLB season is a progression of millions of weighted probabilities, discrete events, unpredictable mistakes and dumb luck; trying to predict the next month is essentially a 53-leg moneyline parlay with odds of +9 quadrillion. I don’t love our chances.
Case Keenum went from forgotten QB to Bears hero on Monday Night Football
Case Keenum took the field as the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles for his first regular-season action since the 2023 NFL season.
NHL Power Rankings: Every team ranked by Stanley Cup chances and their 2026-27 tier
The puck is about to drop on another NHL season, and the 2026-27 season is about to begin. Free agency and the draft are in the rearview; training camp and preseason are done — now we see if those moves paid off. It was a relatively quiet offseason, all things being equal. A soft free agent market meant that there weren’t a lot of established veterans available to improve teams, which led to the majority of the NHL either trusting their internal systems, or finding themselves out of luck for improvement.
Fernando Alonso makes his Aston Martin F1 decision
Fernando Alonso is coming back for another year on the Formula 1 grid. The veteran driver made the announcement on social media Tuesday morning, ending months of speculation about his future. At 45 years old, and with Aston Martin struggling this season, there was a thought that Alonso would use this time to walk away from the sport, given everything he has accomplished on the grid. While he will leave F1 at some point, that day is not coming just yet. Alonso’s decision to return to Aston Martin is a massive show
J.J. McCarthy trade grades for Giants, Vikings after QB goes to New York for draft pick
J.J. McCarthy is heading to the New York Giants. A week after the franchise lost Jaxson Dart for hte season due to a knee injury that requires surgery, the Giants have sent an unconditional fifth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft to the Minnesota Vikings for McCarthy, who lost training camp battles over the summer not just for the starting job (to Kyler Murray) but eventually for the backup job to Carson Wentz.
MLB Playoffs: Ranking all 12 teams by their World Series 2026 chances
The MLB postseason is here. There are 12 teams headed to the playoffs including the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies, who needed wins in Game 162 to punch their respective tickets to the dance. But now, records reset to 0-0, and all 12 teams have an equal chance to win the World Series. At least in theory. But some teams are in a better position than others as the playoffs beckon. Here are the 12 teams in the MLB Playoffs, ranked by their chances of winning the World Series.
The NFL’s spirit took over in Brazil amidst Cowboys-Ravens thriller
RIO DE JANEIRO — Soccer, volleyball, no-holds-barred… Maracanã is the answer for all the “What’s the attendance record in…” trivia questions in Brazil, and the iconic stadium, home for FIFA World Cup Finals in 1950 and 2014, was now the destination for NFL’s first trip to Rio de Janeiro with the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens facing off.
The NFL had another officiating nightmare in Broncos-Rams
The Denver Broncos’ offense had zero juice during a scoreless first half against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football to cap Week 3. Denver roared back to form out of the halftime break to somehow steal a 30-26 win on the final play, but after the game most people were still talking about the controversial calls that went against the Rams late in the game.
The Chargers keep making the wrong kind of NFL history
Falling to 0-3, as the Los Angeles Chargers did in a 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in upstate New York, is bad enough.
2026 MLB Postseason: Can anyone take down the Dodgers?
The 2026 season is over, and October is nearly here. Let’s take a quick look at where each team stands entering the MLB playoffs.
College football’s best teams, categorized: Why Ohio State is on top
The college football season is one-third over. Exactly 25 of the 138 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision have the distinct honor of holding a spot in the Associated Press Top 25. I am here to taxonomize those teams into six buckets so that you can understand them in ways the official poll could never offer. BEING RANKED IS NICE No. 25 Missouri No. 24 Kentucky No. 23 UCLA No. 21 SMU No. 20 Houston No. 17 Tennessee No. 16 Mississippi State
Lando Norris issues apology to Franco Colapinto after Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Tension can boil over in the media pen after a Formula 1 race. Last Saturday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix was no exception.
NBA Power Rankings for all 30 teams by 2027 championship chances as training camps open
It might seem like football season just started, but the NBA is already back. Every team in the league will have opened training camp for the 2026-27 season by Monday, with media days servicing as the unofficial start of the new year. It feels like only yesterday when the New York Knicks outlasted the San Anto
De’Von Achane injury: Who to replace him with from fantasy football waiver wire
The Miami Dolphins lost running back De’Von Achane to a knee injury and it sounds like he could miss some significant time. He’s undergoing some additional testing, but head coach Jeff Hafley said it did not sound optimistic.
The Cowboys’ baffling special teams decision helped Ravens eke out a miracle win
The Dallas Cowboys vs. the Baltimore Ravens always felt like the game of the week in Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season. The two teams traded shots back and forth all afternoon in an international showdown in Rio de Janeiro, and the Brazilian fans were treated to an instant classic fourth quarter with a wild ending.
Baker Mayfield injury: Buccaneers QB suffers thumb injury vs. Vikings
Baker Mayfield appears to have suffered a significant thumb injury against the Minnesota Vikings. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback was fighting for his life in the pocket on a 4th-and-13 play with under two minutes remaining, with the Buccaneers trailing the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 20-16. Mayfield, after scrambling in the pocket for what seemed like an eternity, made a throw downfield while being hit both in his upper body, and with a defender around his ankles. You can see the play here:
United States wins Presidents Cup at Medinah
There would be no Miracle at Medinah Part II. Despite things looking treacherous for the American side over most of the weekend, the United States stood tall on Sunday and defeated the International Team by a final score of 17-13 to win the Presidents Cup.
Mike Evans injury: 49ers star ruled out (rib) after bizarre sequence
UPDATE: The 49ers ruled out Mike Evans for the rest of Sunday’s game due to a rib injury. The announcement came early in the third quarter. Head coach Kyle Shanahan will likely speak to the injury after the game.
Drake Maye is becoming his own worst enemy during nightmare start for Patriots
If the New England Patriots’ surprising run to Super Bowl LX feels like a lifetime ago, imagine how it feels to those inside that locker room.
49ers’ perfect hook-and-ladder TD bamboozles Cardinals for 80-yard Deebo Samuel score
Kyle Shanahan has a reputation in the National Football League for creative play-calling and design. He showed that early in Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. On the San Francisco 49ers’ opening drive against the Cardinals, the offense faced a 3rd-and-12 deep in their own territory. For most offenses, there are not many plays on the playsheet for this situation. But that did not stop Shanahan from finding one. The old hook-and-lateral. Shanahan dialed up the trick play, and the 49ers executed it to perfection.
Deshaun Watson’s facemask penalty was so obvious, and official standing right there missed it
Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns are looking for anything to hang their hat on early in the 2026 season. Watson’s year started off to a poor start with tons of training camp interceptions, preseason press conference meltdowns, and a pick on his very first drive of the season. The Browns earned a nice win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2, and Week 3 is another winnable game against the Carolina Panthers.
Dante Moore injury: Ducks star out with concussion after ugly hit leads to USC suspension
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore is “expected to return” this season after suffering a concussion versus USC on Saturday night.
Chargers’ Genesis Smith grabs interception of the year candidate against Josh Allen
One of the more bizarre developments in the early window of Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season is unfolding in Orchard Park, New York. The 2-0 Buffalo Bills currently trail the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers 10-3 in the early going, and quarterback Josh Allen has thrown a pair of interceptions in the first half.
NFL survivor picks, strategy: Week 3 safe, value, and trap options
The NFL heads into Week 3 as autumn has officially arrived. We have one last week in September and we’ve already got plenty of chaos in the NFL. I don’t think anybody was prediction a 2-0 Raiders squad, and even 2-0 Vikings is catching me off guard. On the other hand, I definitely wasn’t expecting 0-2 starts by the Chargers or Buccaneers. There’s a long way to go, but it’s getting wild already! I’m back with another round of Survivor picks. You pick one team each week to win. If they win you advance, if
Iowa stuns Michigan on the final play in Ann Arbor
A few weeks ago, Michigan needed an extra second to pull off a miracle against Western Michigan. Saturday at the Big House, Iowa used the final second of the game to stun the Wolverines. Quarterback Hank Brown connected with wide receiver Reece Vander Zee on the game’s final snap on a back-shoulder throw for a 16-yard touchdown to give Iowa a 20-19 win, and send the Michigan crowd home stunned.
Jeremiah Smith runs circles around Illinois as Ohio State rolls
In the SB Nation college football preview we identified Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith as one of the 26 most important figures in the sport, stating that all that was left for him to accomplish at the collegiate level was pure dominance.
Lando Norris blasts Franco Colapinto after Azerbaijan GP
A difficult day came to an early end for Lando Norris at the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. And the reigning Drivers’ Champion was none too happy about that when he met the media after the race. Norris was struggling over the opening stint of the race, sliding back in the top ten after picking up a position on the opening lap of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. But his situation turned from bad to worse on a restart in the closing stages, as an incident at Turn 1 ended his day. The spark?
George Russell gets the win he needed at the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix
George Russell has won the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. And he certainly had to work for it. After building up a lead of nearly ten seconds over Oscar Piastri, a pair of Safety Cars turned what was a solitary drive around the Baku City Circuit into a chaotic affair for the the Mercedes driver. And on the second restart it was none other than Max Verstappen filling his rear-view mirrors, pushing Russell over the final stint of the race to the checkered flag.
Charley Hull is very confident in who she is
Charley Hull does not waste time. In the world of professional sports you have to be extremely purposeful in thought and action, but that is much easier said than done. If there is anyone who walks that walk though, it is unquestionably Charley Hull. SB Nation had a chance to catch up with Charley this week and she showed how confident and comfortable she is in her own skin in this sense. You can view our conversation here.
George Russell must meet the moment in the Azerbaijan GP
George Russell has been the dominant force this week at the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. But he must finish the job on Saturday in the main event. Russell took pole position in dominant fashion on the Baku streets Friday, capturing P1 by more than eight-tenths over Charles Leclerc. Just how impressive has Russell been this week?
6 Packers stats that show Green Bay is in deep, deep trouble
The Green Bay Packers fell to 1-2 on Thursday Night Football with a shocking 35-14 loss at home to the Atlanta Falcons. The Packers walked off the field to boos, and star tight end Tucker Kraft made it even more embarrassing with his comments after the game.
The Packers stink, and Tucker Kraft yelling at fans only makes it more embarrassing
The Atlanta Falcons were in a dark place heading into their Week 3 matchup against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The Falcons were already 0-2, outscored 54-16 across their first two games, and coming off an embarrassing loss to the Carolina Panthers last Sunday that inspired my colleague James Dator to write the artful headline “The Falcons suck so bad they’ve reached new levels of suck.”
FTR talk All Out, their tag team Mt. Rushmores, and what AEW means to them
Dax Hardwood and Cash Wheeler are iconoclasts in an industry that favors ceaseless innovation and athletic one-upmanship. Better known by their collective name, FTR, the three-time AEW Teag Team Champions are trying to win their fourth reign with the belts at All Out on Saturday, when they step in the ring with Cope and Cage, and The Young Bucks in a three-way ladder match. I sat down with FTR before their title challenge to talk about what tag team wrestling means to them, their personal Mt.
NBA’s 8 locks on over/under win totals, including Lakers, Warriors, Bulls, and more
Parsing through the NBA’s over/under win totals is a meaningful way to establish expectations for every team entering the new season even if you have no interest in gambling. At this point, it would be easy to look back on the San Antonio Spurs and believe their ascent atop the Western Conference was all but preordained last season with Victor Wembanyama, but in reality expectations were pretty meager. The Spurs’
F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix: Who takes pole position in Baku?
George Russell set the pace during both FP1 and FP2 on Thursday at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, prompting the official Formula 1 website to wonder if he is already out of striking distance for Friday’s qualifying session.
Gaby Lopez embraces the team element of WTGL
There is nothing like team golf. We are in the middle of the fall which means it is happening all over the place. Europe won the Solheim Cup, time will tell hos this weekend’s Presidents Cup unfolds, and the college golf season is already rocking and rolling. Golf is an individual game, but team inclusion makes the stakes different. We say this all of the time as fans, but players talk about it themselves.
Falcons vs. Packers on ‘Thursday Night Football’: Atlanta’s QB situation, explained
Maybe you looked at the Falcons 0-2 record heading into Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers and wondered who the hell decided subjecting us to the Atlanta Falcons in primetime repeatedly was a great idea.
NFL Expert Picks for Week 3
The season rolls on to Week 3 and it’s unclear how much more we’ve learned about any of these teams. While the NFL is always unpredictable, this season feels especially chaotic with key injuries happening early, wild upsets reigning supreme, and Tyler Shough and Bryce Young being the Top 2 quarterbacks in the NFL … somehow.
All-WNBA First and Second Teams: SB Nation’s official picks
It’s time for one of my most difficult WNBA end-of-season award decisions: the dreaded All-WNBA First and Second Teams. I’ll start by sharing my general philosophy in selecting players for the All-WNBA First and Second Teams. When it comes to this award (and, to be frank, mo
Cadillac F1 announces 3 key leadership additions
Formula 1’s newest team has added three key additions to senior leadership. Ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Cadillac announced three additions to the team’s technical leadership team. Craig Skinner joins as the team’s new Chief Development Engineer, following a 20-year stint with Red Bull Racing, where he served as that team’s Chief Designer. Skinner “will provide technical direction across the development process, supporting the connection between car concept, aerodynamics design, analysis, and delivery,” said the team in a statement.
EA Sports FC 27 review: Familiar brilliance
The close of the fall sports video game season is always marked with EA Sports FC, waiting a few weeks into the European seasons to get all the summer transfers before releasing their game. It shows unique restraint, which capitalizes less on anticipation for the season and more on delivering an up-to-date experience for fans out of the box.
Olivia Miles, Azzi Fudd, and my final selections for the WNBA All-Rookie Team
There’s no doubt about it: the 2026 rookie class has had a very strong debut season. No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd had her season cut short by injury, but before that, she had already established herself as one of the league’s elite shooters and perimeter defenders. No. 2 pick Olivia Miles entered the MVP conversation just weeks into the season. And, at just 20 years old, No. 3 pick Awa Fam has al
Jamie Chadwick completes F1 test with Williams
Jamie Chadwick made some Formula 1 history earlier this week. Thursday, Williams announced that on Monday, Chadwick completed a Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) session in the FW47 at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portugal. Chadwick, who is a both a Williams F1 Team Ambassador and an F1 Academy Adviser, completed 32 laps at the circuit in Portimão in the FW47, a car which delivered three podiums for Williams F1 during the 2025 campaign.
NBA Western Conference rankings 1-15 entering 2026-27 season
Is Western Conference superiority over in the NBA? For the first time in two decades, there’s an argument to be made that the Eastern Conference is stronger 1-10 heading into the season. The bottom end of the West playoff picture feels a little softer than normal, but that shouldn’t detract from the fact that the top-6 of the conference is absolutely loaded, led by perhaps the two best teams in the NBA.
NFL picks 2026: Full list of Week 3 predictions with confidence levels
The NFL wraps up September this weekend just as autumn is officially underway. The week opens with the Packers hosting the Falcons on Thursday Night Football and closes with the Bears hosting the Eagles on Monday Night Football. We have no matchups of undefeated teams, but we do get a matchup of winless teams when the Colts host the Texans.
Rose Zhang on the future that comes with WTGL
Opportunities are always welcome. This is a common theme among people at large. Whether you are talking about in professional or personal life, when opportunity knocks you want to make sure that you answer. Or do you? It sounds sacrilegious to some when you talk about turning down things that wind up in front of you, but when you listen to LPGA Tour star Rose Zhang talk about the idea… you might change your mind.
Natalie Nakase deserves WNBA Coach of the Year — again
Coach of the Year is one of the most peculiar awards in sports. The award is typically given to a coach who exceeded external expectations, and due to the media’s limited inside-access to teams and locker rooms, it’s sometimes difficult to discern exactly who to credit and who to blame for a team’s performance.
Linn Grant is ready to show her personality in WTGL
The world of golf is an always-evolving thing, and such will be the case in a month and a half. This is because of a new venture based on another with high levels of success. WTGL, a women’s version of the popular TGL league, begins play on November 8th with Los Angeles Golf Club taking on New York Golf Club. The match will be televised on ESPN for all the world to see. Women’s sports are in the middle of a moment and WTGL is the latest opportunity for them to continue to grow. Part of what makes the concept of WTGL and TGL so unique is that,
Ohio lawmakers want to take $600 million from the Browns to make gas cheaper
There are plenty of reasons not to go to a Cleveland Browns game: The stadium is old, the team isn’t good, the quarterback is reprehensible, there’s always construction on the way, and have you seen how expensive gas is recently!
Josh Palmer, Kahlil Benson, and Hezekiah Masses are the AFC’s Week 2 Secret Superstars
Superstars may lead the discussion when it comes to success in the NFL, but more often than not, it’s the guys you barely know who will make the plays needed when they’re needed. Such players can be underrated for all kinds of reasons. Perhaps they’re playing in a smaller market, and the media isn’t appropriately trumpeting their exploits. Maybe they’re hidden in a depth chart behind bigger names who may not be doing as much.
Marvin Harrison Jr. trade: 4 wild ideas if the Cardinals shop their WR
Marvin Harrison Jr. has become one of the hottest topics for conversation in the NFL. Once labeled as a “can’t-bust” prospect, the former No. 4 overall pick now finds himself barely used in the Arizona Cardinals offense due to his lack of work ethic and unreliability. It’s led to a lot of questions whether or not this is an issue with Harrison himself, or if this is indicative of organizational failure by the Cardinals.
Jaxson Dart’s injury could reverberate around the NFL
Jaxson Dart’s second season in the NFL has officially come to an early end. The quarterback suffered a knee injury on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams, and while the early prognosis was that Dart had avoided a significant injury — and the team reportedly had to take his jersey away as he tried to re-enter the game — reports out of New York worsened on Tuesday. After an MRI was conducted on his injured left knee, reports surfaced that the quarterback might have suffered a more significant injury, and could face season-ending surgery.
The NBA’s next cap circumvention investigation is even more baffling than the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard case
The Milwaukee Bucks were already set to endure some rough years after finally trading Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat over the summer. A new NBA investigation into potential cap circumvention to re-sign a role player from the late stages of the Antetokounmpo era threatens to make Milwaukee’s rebuild even more difficult.
Who I’m voting for the WNBA’s Most Improved Player award and why
For me, the WNBA’s Most Improved Player race came down to three players: Washington Mystics center Shakira Austin, Dallas Wings forward Jessica Shepard, and Portland Fire guard Carla Leite. All players have been crucial to their squads, and all three are far more impactful than they were last year. All three players could easily win the aw
Yankees vs. Red Sox MLB Wild Card series preview and prediction for 2026 Playoffs
I have been steeling my heart all week to do the unthinkable, to uncork the ultimate turncoat take as a Boston Red Sox fan: in predicting the looming Wild Card series with the New York Yankees, I was ready to predict that the Yankees would win. Gasp. But then … (Travis Scott from The Odyssey Voice), a Tweet!
Pac-12 men’s basketball preseason power rankings for 2026-27
The Pac-12 is back! Sort of. Maybe. Not really. In name, the Pac-12 is back, which is cool. Would it be cooler if the conference featured at least some of the prestige programs that defined the league in its past life? Sure, but beggars and choosers and all that. Maybe we should all just be happy that the nine teams below are going to provide us with some Pac-12 after dark magic throughout this winter. 1. Gonzaga Bulldogs 2025–26 Record: 31–4 (16–2) 2025-26 Conference Finish: T-1st in WCC After years and years o
Charles Leclerc calls focus on Ferrari F1 ‘not really fair’
One of the more famous lines from the Netflix docuseries Drive To Survive, which aims to bring fans and viewers inside the world of Formula 1, comes from motorsport analyst Will Buxton regarding Ferrari.
Meet Nikola Kusturica, the 17-year-old Serbian phenom betting on UCLA to make him an NBA star
Nikola Jokic. Nikola Jovic. Nikola Topic. And now… Nikola Kusturica. There is clearly something about the name Nikola when it comes to Serbian basketball and the United States. The latest Nikola to arrive on the American basketball scene is 17-year-old Kusturica, but his path will look different from those who came before him. He is not coming to the United States after a professional career in Europe with the NBA as the immediate destination.
Red Bull confirms Isack Hadjar for 2027 F1 season
Earlier this week, Red Bull confirmed that Isack Hadjar would be back in the RB22 for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, after missing three races due to a wrist injury. On Wednesday, the team confirmed something else. Hadjar’s status with Red Bull for the 2027 season. Red Bull announced an extension of Hadjar’s contract, keeping him with the team and alongside Max Verstappen for the 2027 season. Confirming the news, team principal Laurent Mekies said that the team was “excited to continue our journey” with the young driver:
Aaron Donald took 2 years off football and still went beast mode
Aaron Donald was called an athletic freak throughout his Hall of Fame NFL career, but the truth is that he was so much more. Sure, Donald would beat you off the line with the best first step the defensive tackle position had ever seen, but he also has a preternatural understanding on snap counts, cadences, and could cue in on the tells of an offensive lineman within the first few snaps of a game, destined to make their life a living hell for the remaining 60 minutes of play.
Caleb Williams injury: Case Keenum could start for Bears at QB in Week 3 vs. Eagles
The Chicago Bears could be down to third-string quarterback Case Keenum Monday night when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Falcons’ offense has been so bad it would literally be hard to be worse
There are lists in sports that you do not want to be on, as a player or as a team. Take, for example, the Los Angeles Chargers. With the Chargers’ loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Los Angeles dropped to 0-2 on the season. Many teams start 0-2, and some of those even make the playoffs. Last year alone the Houston Texans, the Chicago Bears, and the Carolina Panthers started 0-2 and still made the playoffs. But what put the Chargers on a very, very small list is the context around those two losses.
