Former NFL quarterback turned ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III wasted no time at all promoting both himself – and of course Colin Kaepernick – as viable signal callers the New York Jets could look to sign following Aaron Rodgers’ early exit against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
RGIII didn’t even have the decency to wait for Rodgers’ official diagnosis – a season-ending torn Achilles – to be announced before blowing smoke.

From one NBA season to the next, we form opinions. Based on what we know, and what’s transpired with rosters across the league, which teams are primed to contend for the title? Which players are likely to make a run for the MVP award? More often than not, there’s a relatively short list of teams and players to choose from when looking ahead.
With that in mind, though, it can be a little bit tougher to gauge which young players are in the process of taking a leap to the next level. Growth isn’t always linear with youngsters, if growth ever happens at all.
Much of the college football landscape did not expect Colorado and first-year coach Deion Sanders to produce two wins in their first two games of the 2023 season.
However, despite the doubters, the Buffaloes (2–0) have notched victories against TCU—last year’s CFP runner-up—and most recently against their rival Nebraska on Saturday, putting Boulder, Colo., at the epicenter of college football as the home of the sport’s most exciting team.
Everything you need to know about the day in sports.
There was a familiar face in the crowd on Monday when the Chicago Cubs visited the Colorado Rockies, or, at least, an impersonation of a familiar face: Steve Bartman.
Poor Steve. One of sports’ greatest scapegoats. The dude just wanted to watch his Cubs play in the 2003 NLCS (can you believe we’re about to hit the 20th anniversary?), and then he sees a cheap souvenir flying in his direction.
Any of us would have overlooked the fact that Moises Alou was on his horse for the second out of the 8th inning in Game 6 just like Bartman did.
Patrons at a bar in Milwaukee hoping to score free drinks in the event of a Jets loss were in for a rude awakening after Xavier Gipson’s stunning game-winning punt return.
Jack’s American Pub announced late last month that it would be covering customers’ tabs whenever the Jets lost a game started by Aaron Rodgers. There are conditions, of course. Patrons have to open a tab at least 15 minutes before kickoff and the deal doesn’t cover food, but all drinks are on the house if the former Packers star’s team ends up losing.
1. There were so many days in July and August when I’d fire up the laptop to write this column and had absolutely nothing to write about. The daily mantra during those days was “get to football, get to football.” Today is one of those days where there is so much to say, I don’t know where to begin. So I will just throw out bullet points to try andtocover as much stuff from a shocking and wild Monday Night Football game as possible.
Saturday night’s showdown between Texas and Alabama brought major viewership for ESPN
A nightmare has come to life for the New York Jets. Aaron Rodgers will miss the remainder of his inaugural season with the franchise after tearing his Achilles on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the breaking news and also hinted at the fact that this could be the end of the future Hall-of-Famer’s NFL career.
An MRI confirmed today that Aaron Rodgers officially tore his Achilles on the fourth play of his Jets’ career.
Rodgers’ season now, officially, is over. There already are questions about whether his Hall-of-Fame career is, too.
Aaron Rodgers suffered an apparent Achilles tear Monday night against the Jets. An MRI will confirm the injury later on Tuesday.
But because Rodgers didn’t jab himself with the coronavirus vaccine, there are people online who enjoyed his injury.
Like Keith Olbermann.
Olbermann mocked Rodgers by posting six syringe emojis on X with the caption, “Another #SuddenLisfranc due to failure to vaccinate.”
