Look, I know it’s low-hanging fruit to pick on the Miami Marlins, but I don’t care. They should be the Florida Marlins. They should still have the old logo. And, they should play in a football stadium.
Those are the Marlins I grew up with. Until those FLORIDA Marlins return, I don’t mind mocking the organization.
Here’s the deal … they’re awful. Truly, truly awful. Their record may say 5-6 right now, but don’t be fooled. This is a team that will most likely lose 100 games this season. Maybe a little more. Maybe a little less.
For years, WWE superstar John Cena’s popular catchphrase has been “U Can’t C Me!” before then delivering his “Five Knuckle Shuffer” finishing move on his opponents.

The last 18 months or so for Hovland have been unique, to put things mildly.
The 27-year-old earned three wins on Tour in 2023 and took home the FedEx Cup. He was ranked No.
The Seattle Seahawks are entering the 2025 NFL draft with multiple needs across their offensive line, particularly inside at center and both guard spots. As currently constructed, the Seahawks are without a starter at left guard after 2024 starter Laken Tomlinson left in free agency. The current plan at center is Olu Oluwatimi or Jalen Sundell, and a slew of young blockers, Anthony Bradford, Christian Haynes, and Sataoa Laumea, are present at right guard.
It would behoove Seahawks general manager John Schneider if the 2025 NFL draft featured a deep class of interior offensive linemen.

After a breakout junior season at Lake Nona (Fla.) High School, DeAnthony Lafayette is seeing his college football recruitment change by the day.
LSU kicked off the week as the newest scholarship offer for the pass-rushing specialist, and it could take the profile from regional to national in short order.
“I’m shocked,” Lafayette told Rivals. “They hit me up last night and said they would call my coach and call me after — and when he did thats when they offered the full ride!
