After 1,955 miles, it’s my last stop for the Jeep Compass rental, which made it all the way through Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and, now, Georgia. Our five takeaways from Falcons camp …
Pairing Robinson with London and Pitts should make the Falcons a bear to contend with offensively.
The Toronto Blue Jays may not have made the biggest splash of the MLB trade deadline, but they might be having the most fun.
Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette left Monday’s game with an injury, acquiring making infield depth a priority on Tuesday. Sure enough, they agreed to a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals for infielder Paul DeJong.
DeJong has struggled mightily over the past few years, but his 2023 offensive production has recovered to near average levels. Even more importantly though, he’s turned in his typically excellent defense.

With the Oakland Athletics organization mired in a historically bad 2023 season and plans in place to relocate to Las Vegas, pressure keeps ramping up for A’s owner John Fisher to sell the team. But A’s fans got additional support for that cause from an unlikely source Tuesday night: Dodgers fans.

A small group of Big Ten presidents held a preliminary meeting Wednesday to discuss adding two to four new members from the Pac-12, sources confirmed to Sports Illustrated. The potential expansion targets are Oregon, Washington, California and Stanford. The news was first reported by Yahoo Sports.

Ah, the “dreaded vote of confidence.” Usually reserved for head coaches, but sometimes can be used for others. On Tuesday, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank delivered the vote of confidence for quarterback Desmond Ridder.
Ridder, a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, played just OK in his rookie season. The team benched veteran Marcus Mariota late in the season and turned the reins over to Ridder.
