Is it a mistake for Mike McCarthy to avoid playing Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott during the preseason? While Jerry Jones co-signs his head coach’s decision, Craig Carton, Greg Jennings and Willie Colon aren’t so sure it’s the best move seeing as Dak has recently struggled with turnovers.

The Chiefs are still without defensive tackle Chris Jones as the franchise seeks to become only the ninth team in NFL history to win consecutive Super Bowl titles in the 2023 NFL season.
Jones, who registered a career-high 15.5 sacks last season, has not reported to training camp due to a sour dispute over his contract. The four-time Pro Bowler has one year remaining on the four-year, $80 million deal he signed with the franchise in ’20.
Chuck Norris was a karate legend, then an action star, and then … memes. So many memes. This is the hilarious story of how Chuck Norris Facts melted the internet in 2005 and how its creator is now using AI to shake up the world in even bigger ways.
The White Sox’s decision to fire executives Ken Williams and Rick Hahn on Tuesday was perfectly reasonable. It was also deeply, almost incomprehensibly shocking.
If those two statements seem at odds with one another, well, these are the White Sox. There’s not always consistent logic to be found. The struggling team has been vexed by a variety of problems this year—underperforming players, frustrating stories out of the clubhouse, poor decisions from above. It only made sense to make a statement by getting rid of the men in charge.
Everyone wants to draft a sleeper. Sure, it’s fun to pick a slam-dunk player in the first round, but there’s nothing like the thrill of finding a late-round, diamond in the rough who emerges as a contributor and perhaps even a league-winner.
My colleagues and I have planted our flags on sleepers at different positions throughout the summer, but with draft season in full swing I wanted to check back in with two more wide receivers and one receiver room at large that fit the sleeper archetype.
Michael Jordan is the latest big name to weigh in on who the greatest point guard ever is, and his take is sure to get the basketball world talking.
The debate began when Stephen Curry proclaimed himself the best point guard in NBA history in a podcast appearance with Gilbert Arenas earlier this week. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith backed Curry over Magic Johnson in a close decision. But on First Take Wednesday morning, Smith revealed that Michael Jordan had texted him a take on the matter.
The Mets trading aging pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander to the Rangers and Astros, respectively, at the trade deadline was one thing.
New York dealing squarely-in-his-prime first baseman Pete Alonso, however, would be quite another.
Yet according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, an Alonso trade to the Brewers was explored by the Mets in the run-up to the deadline on Aug. 1.
“Opinions differ on how close a deal was to fruition,” Rosenthal wrote Tuesday. “One thing is clear: Alonso’s future with the Mets remains a major question.
Baker Mayfield started a trend. Now we finish it.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that Baker Mayfield would be their starting QB on Tuesday, and because it’s the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it of course came with some shenanigans.

This looks like the cover of a bad early 2000’s album that people buy because the cover is weird, not because any of the songs on it are actually any good.

Australian Geoff Ogilvy, who won the 2006 U.S. Open, made a pretty remarkable claim about Justin Thomas’ Ryder Cup hopes.
Whether Justin Thomas should make the U.S. Ryder Cup team next month has been a hot topic among golf media, fans, and players alike.
He has a fantastic match-play record, but his inconsistent play in 2023 led to three missed cuts at major championships, a winless season, and a no-show at the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Yet, Geoff Ogilvy, who won the 2006 U.S.
USC quarterback Caleb Williams did just about everything one could ask of a signal caller in his first year with the Trojans.
After following coach Lincoln Riley from Norman, Okla. to Los Angeles last offseason, Williams led the Trojans to an 11–3 record and an appearance in the Pac-12 title game. He also threw for 4,537 yards and 42 touchdowns, while adding 10 more scores on the ground en route to capturing the Heisman Trophy.
