The Aaron Rodgers transformation from the final stretch of his tenure with the Packers, to the start of his time with the Jets has been one of the biggest NFL storylines this offseason. And regardless of anyone’s feelings on the situation, it’s tough to ignore just how much fun the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback appears to be having with his new team.
HBO’s Hard Knocks has already given a glimpse into how much of an impact Rodgers has had on the field, but it’s safe to say he’s also having no trouble making new friends in New York.

Could the Baltimore Orioles be facing another embarrassing public blunder?
That’s what many Orioles fans are wondering as the team still hasn’t renewed their Camden Yards lease despite promising to do so by last month’s All-Star break. The team’s lease with the state-owned ballpark is up on December 31 and the two sides appear to be at a stalemate.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Peter and John Angelos, the father-son duo that run the ball club, are at a disagreement with the city over what else – money.
Weeks after a hazing scandal rocked the Northwestern football program and led to the ouster of longtime coach Pat Fitzgerald, the Wildcats are under fire yet again.
The college football world was outraged after Bradley Locker of Inside NU shared a picture of Northwestern football staffers, including offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian, wearing shirts that seemed to honor Fitzgerald during practice Wednesday. The shirts had the slogan “Cats Against the World” on them and included the number 51 on it—the number Fitzgerald wore during his All-American playing career at Northwestern.
Former Las Vegas Raiders and NFL wide receiver Henry Ruggs was sentenced to 3-10 years in prison Wednesday for the 2021 car crash that resulted in the death of 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog.
Ruggs learned his fate in a packed Vegas courtroom late Wednesday morning, and made a statement immediately following the ruling.
“I let my family, my teammates and those who believed in me down with my actions and hurt so many,” the 24-year-old said.

It’s been a terrible season this year for the Royals, who have the second-worst record in the majors at 37–78, and things haven’t gone much better for their Triple-A affiliate, the Omaha Storm Chasers (50–55). But outfielder John Rave gave Omaha fans something to remember Tuesday night.
During the Storm Chasers’ game against the Iowa Cubs, Matt Mervis smacked a long fly ball to deep center field. Rave chased it down, crashed into the wall, juggled the ball and snatched it with his bare hand as he tumbled to ground. According to Statcast, the ball left the bat at 101.
Former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was sentenced to between three and 10 years in Nevada state prison Wednesday following a November 2021 car crash that led to the death of 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog.
Ruggs’s sentence comes after the 24-year-old accepted a plea deal and pleaded guilty to one count of DUI and one count of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in May. Ruggs was driving at 156 mph when he crashed into Tintor, and his blood alcohol level (0.16) was two times higher than the legal limit, according to prosecutors.
One of the best parts of NFL training camp is the content that has nothing to do with football. The players are loose, they’re having fun being back on the field and their positivity often leads to hilarious moments during their downtime or after practice.
