Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay’s favorite quarterback, has long been debated as the greatest of all time. For a long time, he was regarded as a top ten all-time quarterback, but as the MVPs piled up, he was viewed as a legitimate candidate for greatest of all time. Despite Rodgers winning four MVP honors, no Lombardi trophies came following that incredible Super Bowl run in 2010. Given Tom Brady’s run it seems easy to chalk it up as no one being to beat the real GOAT. However, Patrick Mahomes’ new run has somewhat dispelled that notion. A lot of Rodgers criticisms…

On Saturday afternoon, the Cincinnati Reds played their first game of the spring against the Cleveland Guardians in the Cactus League. Expectations for this year’s Reds club are sky high. Will Benson showed off his power with a huge smash over the right-center field wall in the top of the fourth inning. Carson Spiers, the Reds’ starting pitcher in Saturday’s opener, also impressed with two scoreless innings and four strikeouts. Tyler Callihan, a Reds prospect, grabbed the spotlight during the opening Cactus League game this spring. Callihan grounded into a fielder’s choice in the sixth inning, scoring Bubba Thompson from…

SF Giants checked in on elite defensive outfielder before he returned to Toronto The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs also checked in on Kiermaier.

We’ve reached the middle of February, which means that the college football offseason is officially underway. Programs have passed the second and final Signing Day, and most are preparing for Spring practice. They’re also looking for hints of potential difference-makers on rosters for the coming season. Ole Miss is no exception, with the Rebels’ offensive line serving as a crucial differentiator in Oxford. The Ole Miss offensive line was a bit of a concern last year, as it had been for many years prior. In fact, for much of the last decade, the unit has been arguably the program’s weakest…

The Milwaukee Brewers had a great season in 2023, winning the NL Central division, and they hope to continue that success in 2024. Repeating as division champions isn’t easy, but Milwaukee believes they can accomplish it. Last year, the Brewers finished the regular season with a 92-70 record, nine games ahead of the Chicago Cubs, who placed second in the National League Central. Milwaukee was swept in the first round of the playoffs, but they are hoping to recreate their regular-season dominance and avenge their bad playoff showing. “You know, I hesitate to say this,” Brewers owner Mark Attanasio stated,…

Ole Miss defensive tackle DeSanto Rollins claimed in his most recent court filing against Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin that he “intentionally treated” him differently than white players, citing two charges as instances. Rollins, who is Black, stated “evidence of disparate treatment of white and Black football players” in a court declaration issued through his lawyer, Carroll Edward Rhodes, according to an exclusive via A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports. According to ESPN’s Heather Dinich, that filing triggered “a series of rebuttals” to Kiffin’s move to dismiss Rollins’ complaint against the head coach and university for “failure to provide equal…

The Ole Miss Rebels will welcome in-state five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham for a visit in early March, he revealed on Monday. Cunningham, a 2025 talent from Choctaw County (Ackerman, Miss.) High School, is entering his senior season at a school where he helped lead an offensive resurrection in 2023, catching 48 passes for 1,138 yards and 14 touchdowns while averaging 23.7 yards per grab. Lane Kiffin and Kelvin Bolden also visited Cunningham at CCHS in January, which was also the month he released his Top 12 colleges. Cunningham’s spring visit tour will begin in Ole Miss, and his itinerary…

Due to the slow-moving market, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred proposed a free agency deadline to expedite the process. Could this have an ongoing impact on future Milwaukee Brewers offseasons? Man, it’s taking forever for some free agent players to find new teams. Spring training has begun, but stars such as reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell remain free agents. What if there was a way to assure that players signed sooner? When Rob Manfred indicated that he would stand down as commissioner at the end of his current term, he also mentioned a potential deadline for free…

Billy Napier and Florida football took a step back in 2023, finishing the season with a 5-7 record, one victory fewer than the previous season and little possibility of making a bowl game. As they reach Year 3, it appears that Napier needs to make a statement in 2024. Perhaps the transfer portal class, ranked 16th, will help. At this moment, it’s unclear what Napier actually requires for a successful season in 2024. Going beyond six wins is definitely a goal, and the magic number could be eight. Even so, it’s unclear whether Florida football supporters in Gainesville would be…

DeMonte Capehart, a Clemson football player, was initially pulled over for “spinning (his) tires” and “accelerating to a high rate of speed” on campus before police discovered a 9 mm weapon, which Capehart claimed did not belong to him, in the trunk of his car during a voluntary search. That’s according to a Clemson University Police Department report published to The State, which provides further information about Capehart’s arrest earlier this month on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm on school campus and failure to exercise due care while driving. Capehart, a redshirt senior defensive tackle for the Tigers…
