In the NFL offseason, most people go on island vacations or catch up on family time. But Chicago Bears back up quarterback Tyson Bagent was grinding his face off.
Now I’m sure you have a lot of questions about that phrase (so did I), not the least of which is, “Where the heck did he even come up with that phrase? Is that what the ‘cool kids’ have resorted to saying these days?”

NFL Network launched “Good Morning Football” in 2016 as a refreshing change of pace from the more debate-heavy, politicized programming that had come to define the new era of sports talk.

The Team USA Men’s Basketball Team entered the 2024 Summer Olympics with a lot of question marks after two narrow victories over weaker opponents in the lead up to the Games. 
But they quickly erased doubts with a resounding blowout win over Serbia in their Olympic opener on Sunday. 
However, despite the big win, there’s still drama surrounding Team USA because, of course, there is.
