The NFL has been slicing games away from Sunday afternoon in an effort to create more standalone windows. That trend has prompted concerns that, at some point, it will go too far. There’s a delicate balance to strike. It’s nice to have more occasions to watch one game, and only

Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter missed a month of football late in the 2025 regular season after undergoing surgical procedures on both of his shoulders.

Patriots receiver Kyle Williams, a third-round pick in 2025, had only 10 catches as a rookie, and only two in four postseason games. He’s hoping to make a major improvement in 2026. Via Mike Reiss of ESPN, Williams has focused on improving his lower-body strength during the offseason. He has

Before Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart made a Friday afternoon excursion into presidential politics, the chatter about the second-year signal-caller focused on his excursions when he runs the ball. In a recent session with reporters, Dart explained that being careful with his body has been a focal point of the new

Weather delays, thrilling restarts with four laps and just more than one lap remaining, and a loaded field weren’t enough to stop Felix Rosenqvist on Sunday. And that’s why he is the 2026 Indianapolis 500 champion. Rosenqvist made a stunning pass of David Malukas right before the finish line to

As the expectations grow for the 2026 Cowboys, every second counts. Coach Brian Schottenheimer knows it. Via Neal Franklin of the Dallas Morning News, Schottenheimer is selling his house because it’s too far away from work.

Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell detailed his reaction to opposing fans making their presence felt at Rocket Arena during the team’s 121-108 loss to the New York Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. “I’m from New York, this doesn’t shock me,” Mitchell told reporters after the game.

Giants linebacker Abdul Carter and Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart have resolved their differences.

When it comes to the rules regarding players, the NCAA has largely become toothless. When it comes to the rules that apply to the various programs, the NCAA still has some apparent bite. Via ESPN, the NCAA launched a tampering investigation of Ole Miss on the same day Clemson coach

It’s Memorial Day weekend. The weather in this particular neck of the woods won’t be great. So why not just work instead? The staff has the weekend off. You’ll be stuck with me all weekend long. I’ll be catching up on some of the items on the list that we

Well, this won’t upset anyone. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced President Donald Trump at a Friday event in Rockland County, New York. It’s a risky move for any player who hopes to appeal to everyone. Especially since Dart plays for a team named for one of the bluest of the

The Panthers made the postseason for the first time since 2017 last season, winning the NFC South via a tiebreaker with an 8-9 record. Importantly, it was also the first time the club had made the playoffs with quarterback Bryce Young. Young, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2023

Having already lost depth on their defensive line after trading Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals, the New York Giants could be without Roy Robertson-Harris for the entire 2026 season. Per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan, Robertson-Harris tore his Achilles during the Giants’ final OTA practice of the week on Thursday.

After three straight years with no playoff appearances, the pressure is on the Bengals in 2026. Quarterback Joe Burrow’s assessment of the improvements the team has made since a disappointing 6-11 performance in 2025 will only increase the expectations. Making the bar even higher is the fact that, for now,

The New York Knicks continued to target James Harden on defense during the team’s 109-93 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday night.

The Lions signed free agent wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, the team announced Wednesday. The team also signed Greg Dortch earlier this offseason for depth purposes.

For football fans (and other sports fans), Oz Pearlman has become a periodic presence (or, as the case may be, irritant) in the programming choices made by those who produce and present content. He appeared on Hard Knocks with the Jets. He’s performed for the Rams. The Cowboys. The Bills.

But again, Harden isn’t the man anymore. And while he, Evan Mobley (1-of-5 down the stretch) and Jarrett Allen (1-of-1, but he missed two free throws and only grabbed one rebound) didn’t cover themselves in glory, this is Mitchell’s team. And he was just completely overwhelmed and overshadowed by the

Cam Skattebo insists he will be “ready to go” Week 1 as he continues his rehab from a gruesome leg injury. That is good news for the Giants as the running back had 125 carries for 617 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. Skattebo has much bigger goals for

UNC football coach Bill Belichick is continuing to criticize CBS News for their portrayal of an interview involving his girlfriend Jordon Hudson in April 2025. Belichick was asked about that interview around the 56:50 of his appearance on Tuesday’s episode of Hang Out with Sean Hannity. “I thought that the

With Aaron Rodgers officially on the roster, the Steelers currently have four quarterbacks. Veteran Mason Rudolph, second-year QB Will Howard, and rookie Drew Allar fill out the rest of the room. Rodgers’ presence means there are now fewer reps to go around for the younger players, Howard and Allar. But

It’s easy to look at the Canadiens roster and highlight the likes of Cole Caufield, Lane Hutson and Nick Suzuki, and while those players all had success against Buffalo, when you look further down the lineup, some of the difference makers came from there. Alex Newhook put the Sabres on

The news broke over the weekend that quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back with the Steelers. As of Monday, that was apparently news to linebacker Payton Wilson. Via Brooke Pryor of ESPN, Wilson was surprised to see Rodgers at the facility. “I was walking in, and he was coming out, and

With voluntary offseason workouts in full swing, one key member of the Patriots’ offense hasn’t been volunteering to show up. As noted by Mike Reiss of ESPN, Boutte has been working out on his own. Yes, it’s not mandatory (except for the annual mandatory minicamp). But it makes sense to

Colorado coach Deion Sanders, in his recent appearance on The Barbershop with Garrett Bush, made it clear that he has a strong affinity for the Browns.

Steve Tasker, a seven-time Pro Bowl special-teamer with the Bills, will be back with the team in 2026. Via Sam Neumann of Awful Announcing, Tasker will become the sideline reporter for the radio broadcasts of the team’s games. The change comes as the games move from WGR 550 to WGRF-FM,

Jake Paul shrugged off UFC’s announcement of Conor McGregor’s return, which came during Most Valuable Promotions’ MMA event on Saturday night. “Drop it during our event. Does it matter?” Paul said at the 10:27 mark of his post-fight press conference. “That just shows how pressed they are. Little insecure boys

He’s back. Per multiple reports, the Steelers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have agreed to terms on a one-year deal. The move comes two days before the first of the Steelers’ 2026 OTA sessions.

Three months after her Olympic comeback ended with a serious leg injury, Lindsey Vonn used her trials and tribulations on the slopes to deliver a message to USC’s graduating class of 2026.

The clock is ticking for Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby. Which is prompting Sorsby to seek answers, sooner rather than later.

A total of six cornerbacks over the last 10 classes have been drafted in the top five. The 2027 class has an outside shot at two entering that range, with Notre Dame’s Leonard Moore already considered one of the cycle’s top overall prospects. In two seasons, Moore proved himself as
