Josh Myers left it all on the field for this snap. Literally
Football players are built differently.
We are reminded of this simple fact on every NFL Sunday, and frankly on every college football Saturday. You can even find evidence of this axiom on Friday nights at your local high school.
The latest example of this truism? That comes courtesy of Green Bay Packers center Josh Myers.
It doesn’t sound like Wisconsin QB Tyler Van Dyke will be back on the field in the immediate future.
The Wisconsin Badgers welcomed the Alabama Crimson Tide to Madison this past weekend for one of the biggest home games in the program’s history.
Hype was off the charts, the city was rocking and there was a euphoric feeling in the air before the game started.
The Badgers jumped out to a hot start, but the wheels fell off after Tyler Van Dyke went down with what looked like a knee injury on the first drive of the game.
It’s become an unwritten rule during NFL broadcasts that Taylor Swift simply must be mentioned no matter the situation or which teams are actually playing on the field, and NBC checked the box in super-annoying fashion on Sunday night.
The Houston Texans played host to the Chicago Bears on ‘Sunday Night Football,’ but given that Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Atlanta Falcons this upcoming Sunday night, NBC had to tease the matchup with a mention of Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

Sophie Cunningham has been one of the league’s most efficient bench players and a key leader on the Phoenix Mercury.
The Phoenix Mercury are in the midst of an underwhelming season, and Sophie Cunningham — one of the longest-tenured players on the roster — hasn’t been shy about calling the team out.
“We need to learn how to be great teammates,” Cunningham said after the team lost to the Storm, their fifth loss in six games. “At the end of the day, we get to play basketball for a living, so that’s a blessing.
Think you can figure out what NFL player we’re talking about? You’ll get five clues to figure him out.
We’re back for another day of the SB Nation in-5 daily trivia game. Just a reminder that this remains a beta that we’re testing out this week.

There are have been lots of outstanding bench players in the WNBA this season — but Tiffany Hayes, Leonie Fiebich, and Sophie Cunningham have separated themselves from the pack in the race for Sixth Player of the Year.
The Sixth Player of the Year award — an honor bestowed upon the WNBA’s most impactful bench player — could go to a number of viable candidates this season. Tiffany Hayes of the Las Vegas Aces has led all bench players in scoring, while Leonie Fiebich of the New York Liberty has had the best plus-minus numbers.

In her rookie season, Fiebich has solidified herself as one of the league’s most impactful two-way bench players.
NEW YORK — Leonie Fiebich is used to being a star. The 24-year-old was already named MVP of the Spanish League twice, and she averaged double-figures in each of her professional seasons in Europe.
But as a member of the New York Liberty in her first WNBA season, the German forward showed that she’s can star in any role — not just the star one.

After coming out of a brief retirement, Tiffany Hayes has averaged more bench points this season than any WNBA player.
CONNECTICUT — When Tiffany Hayes announced her retirement from the WNBA last December, it appeared that an 11-season, year-round career had finally caught up to her.
“I really feel like I’m older now,” Hayes said at the time. “I got a lot of stuff that I really always want to get into but I’m so busy ’cause I’m playing year-round.
