For months now, it has been obvious that the Green Bay Packers will be parting ways with five-time All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari this offseason. In the event that Green Bay trades, or more likely cuts, Bakhtiari this offseason, the team will have to decide whether to attempt to bolster the left side of its offensive line through the NFL draft or switch full-time to Rasheed Walker, a seventh-round pick in 2022, at a premium position. Mel Kiper Jr., an ESPN draft expert, supports the latter. In his first official mock draft, which was released on Tuesday, January 23, he…

Jim Harbaugh flirts a lot, and he does it often enough for Michigan to be able to prepare for his departure. Athletic director Warde Manuel would not be surprised if Harbaugh closes a deal to rejoin the Los Angeles Chargers. According to NFL Network, Manuel made Harbaugh an offer to sign a $125 million, ten-year contract before the Wolverines won the national championship earlier this month. The writing might have been on the wall when Harbaugh opted not to sign the contract and interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons and Chargers. He would add to the list of seismic shifts on…

During the 2023–24 college football season, elite programs rose to prominence and fell from grace. A team like Florida State was brought back to life in the ACC after years of dominating the league. The Clemson Tigers were the ACC leaders at the time. Although Clemson football has been regarded as one of the best programs for the last ten years, something appears to be changing. According to Grace Raynor at The Athletic, head coach Dabo Swinney is up against teams that have made NIL agreements and transfer portal targets their top priorities, transforming college football into a contemporary free-agent…

The Philadelphia Phillies said on Tuesday afternoon that they have acquired Kolby Allard, a left-handed pitcher. Allard inked a split contract with Matt Gelb of The Athletic that guarantees him $375,000 and adds $125,000 in incentives. Should Allard pitch in the majors, the pact would be worth $1 million. Allard will participate in major league Spring Training and be included on the 40-man roster. Allard has one minor-league option left, so the Phillies won’t lose him if he doesn’t make the 26-man roster for Opening Day. Across 69 career MLB appearances — 38 of which have been starts — Allard…

Another UGA has left Georgia. The University of Georgia said that “Que,” the former Georgia football mascot who had reigned as Uga X, passed away quietly at home on Tuesday morning. He was ten years old. Prior to the Bulldogs’ game versus Georgia Southern on November 21, 2015, Que, a pure white English bulldog like all the other Georgia mascots, was “collared” as Uga X. Due to his deteriorating health, he retired after the 2022 season, making him one of the most accomplished mascots in UGA football history in terms of on-field achievements. Under Uga X’s watch, the Bulldogs won…

Even though it’s only January, planning for the 2024 college football season is never too early. ESPN unveiled its way-too-early 2024 All-American teams, and Ole Miss Rebels receiver Tre Harris made the list following a standout debut in the Southeastern Conference. ESPN is already looking ahead to the upcoming season. Tetairoa McMillan, a wide receiver for the Arizona Wildcats, was named to the first team, while Harris was placed on the second team. The announcement was released by Ole Miss football on social media, which is accessible here. Harris transferred to Ole Miss ahead of the 2023 season after spending…

For junior day last Saturday, the Florida Gators had a number of elite prospects on campus, including two very promising tight end possibilities. 2025 close end While on campus, Micah Jones (6-5, 225, Madison, MS. Central) relished the unique visitation experience he had with the coaching staff on junior day. Regarding his Saturday trip to Florida, Jones remarked, “I love Florida and the tradition.” “I enjoyed the visit, and the atmosphere was positive. For my family and I, today’s visit was more like a family get-together. Jones and tight ends coach Russ Callaway have been communicating frequently, and during the…

Even after his college debut two days ago, Zvonimir Ivisic is still the talk of the town. Following his absence from Kentucky’s first 16 games while he awaited news from the NCAA regarding his eligibility, the rookie forward scored 13 points on Saturday night to assist the No. 6 Wildcats in defeating Georgia 105-96. The assistant coach Chin Coleman and the other members of the Wildcats coaching staff applauded the performance. To go through this whole process he’s been through and then just to finally have the opportunity to get out on the floor was probably an eruption (on his…

.. The Chicago Bears are still the center of attention when it comes to the NFL draft, but one NFL insider believes the team will surprise everyone by selecting at No. 9. After quarterback, the positions of left tackle and pass-rusher are perhaps the most crucial, and Chicago will address both at No. 1 regardless of their choice: either they move off the selection and commit to Fields for the long haul, or they draft a replacement for Justin Fields. Therefore, it makes sense to assume that the Bears will target the quarterback’s blind side, whoever that guy may be,…

The Golden State Warriors are at a pivotal point in their season. They are now 12th in the Western Conference. Given the approaching trade deadline of February 8th, a major roster shuffle appears probable. “Everyone but Steph Curry is on the table,” stated Shams Charania of The Athletic. “Let’s say Golden State calls up Brooklyn, and they offer Andrew Wiggins, Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga, and they ask for Mikal Bridges and Dorian Finney-Smith?” stated Jason Timpf of The Volume during the “Hoops Tonight” program. This season, Bridges is averaging 21.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists. His efficiency has…
