Eagles quarterback and Hawai’i native Marcus Mariota delivered a heartfelt message to his home state Saturday when asked about the devastating wildfires in Maui.
“My heart goes out to them and everybody back home,” Mariota told reporters. “Hawai’i’s such a small place, such a small community that everyone has family or friends that have been affected by it. All I can say is that we’re thinking about them, we’re praying for them.
“Please, if you have an opportunity to help donate or help support—it’s bad,” he continued.

After taking over as Colorado’s head football coach, Deion Sanders completely overhauled the program.
So much so that the team now looks nothing like it did just a year ago. In fact, Colorado returns just 10 scholarship players from 2022 with 68 new scholarship players on the roster.
On Friday, Coach Prime explained why it was difficult to implement his program with the roster he inherited. He simply didn’t see any passion.

Stetson Bennett looked good, but not great during his NFL debut. The two-time national champion out of Georgia went 17 of 29 for 191 yards and a touchdown without an interception during a 17-point loss to the Chargers.
He was also sacked three times for a loss of 36 yards. That isn’t necessarily Bennett’s fault, but it lands on his stat line anyway.
One of the three sacks came at the mercy of someone who had never played before. Literally.
As Jordan Love enters his first year as the Packers‘ starting quarterback, running back AJ Dillon is boldly singing Love’s praises as he replaces four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.

The Giants made a splash in the offseason by trading for tight end Darren Waller to add to their offensive weaponry. The team made the move around the same time it signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year extension.
Waller immediately projects as Jones’s best receiving option, and Jones isn’t shy to admit how important an addition Waller is for New York. The quarterback explained how his confidence in Waller increased after practices began.
“I was fired up,” Jones said, via ESPN. “I was even more fired up when I saw him on the field.
