Alrighty then.
We all know the NFL likes to manufacture drama whenever possible in making the schedule, but changing things because of a narcissistic, should-be-retired quarterback is pretty darn incredible. In deciding on games this year, particularly those for the Steelers, the league really had to think about how Aaron Rodgers could impact the slate.

There are still more than a few quality players looking for a home for the 2025-26 college basketball season.
We’re getting later and later in the process, but the pickings still aren’t exactly slim at the top of the best available men’s college basketball players in the transfer portal list.
Here are the 10 best players still making their decisions about where to play in 2025-26:
1. RJ Luis, SR, G (St.
Shoehei was not prepared for this one.
It’s always fun to see athletes forced to play out of position, but there was nothing quite like seeing A’s catcher Jhonny Pereda take the mound to pitch to Shohei Ohtani. Arguably the greatest player in baseball simply had no answers to to Pereda’s stuff in one of the most staggeringly weird at bats of the year.

Bill Belichick sat in a room full of spectators on Good Morning America as Michael Strahan asked him a series of questions concerning his new book, with girlfriend Jordon Hudson nowhere to be seen.
Then, there was a question asked of Belichick about his past life intersecting with his current job at North Carolina that caught my eye.
Every team has a player that only their fans seem to appreciate, while the other 31 fan bases forget about them.
For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, PFF has chosen edge rusher Yaya Diaby as that man for the team. Third-year player out of Louisville is excited to be apart of a Bucs defense that is looking for new faces to lead it as he knows the pressure that is facing him in 2025 and beyond. While PFF makes him an underrated player, if it were up to him he would be a national name at this point.
The NBA Draft Combine has been underway this week, with prospects working to boost their stock ahead of June’s draft. While on-court drills and measurements take center stage, interviews have also provided insight into the personalities and basketball minds of this year’s class.
This year’s draft class is rich in talent. While Duke freshman Cooper Flagg has been the main headline—widely projected to go No. 1 overall—the Blue Devils have two other lottery-bound freshmen in Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach. Both played key roles in Duke’s run to the Final Four.
The lottery has spoken as the Philadelphia 76ers will have the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft after a disastrous season. Expected to be title contenders, nothing went right for the Sixers, but they were able to land a top 3 draft pick as they move forward with their offseason.
Philadelphia will have plenty of talented players to choose from. The Sixers can look at guys like VJ Edgecombe, Ace Bailey, Tre Johnson, maybe even Kon Knueppel, Jeremiah Fears, and others. This is a deep and talented draft and the Sixers will be looking to add some much-needed youth to the roster.
