If you’ve been on the air as long as famed New York sports talk radio personality Mike Francesa, it’s likely you’ve had a bad take (or several) that have gone viral for being incredibly inaccurate.
In one of Francesa’s worst baseball takes he’s ever had, he labeled the Yankees as “lucky” that they lost out on generational superstar Shohei Ohtani. That take came a little over five years ago, when Ohtani came over from the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) league in Japan and chose the Angels as a free agent.

The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Richmond this weekend as the race for the playoffs heats up.
Saints running back Jamaal Williams came to New Orleans this spring with his goodwill at an all-time high. The BYU product rushed for a career-high 1,066 yards in 2022 to go with a league-leading 17 touchdowns, becoming a fan favorite on an improved Lions squad.
However, he might’ve blown his cachet on Friday, when he gave an instantly controversial answer to a question about one of Louisiana’s favorite pastimes—desserts.
Williams was asked his opinion of the beignet, a French pastry that serves as a centerpiece of the Pelican State’s unique cuisine.
Bronny James might not be back on the basketball court yet, but he’s finding ways to pass the time.
Now, he’s showing off another talent.
LeBron James posted a video on Instagram on Saturday afternoon of his son playing the piano at home. Bronny’s siblings Bryce and Zhuri are enjoying the show.
“GRAND RISING!!” LeBron wrote.
Travis Kelce was not happy about his teammate Jack Cochrane pushing him after he caught a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes at Chiefs practice on Saturday.
Cochrane’s shove led to the eight-time Pro Bowler throwing a punch at the linebacker, starting a brief scuffle before the two were separated and the team continued with practice.
Following practice, Kelce held himself accountable, tweeting that he needed to be “better” in those situations.
“Gotta be a better teammate gotta be a better leader… plain and simple,” Kelce tweeted.
After six productive years with the Vikings, running back Dalvin Cook finds himself a free agent. Minnesota cut him on June 9, and the four-time Pro Bowler has spent the past two months looking for a new home.
On Saturday morning, Cook appeared on NFL Live and pitched himself to a glamorous potential suitor—the Cowboys.
“Dallas been right there, [they] just need to turn that page the last few years,” Cook said. “[Tony Pollard] is a great running back, just partnering up with a great running back, a great running mate, it would be good. Hey, I don’t know.
NFL teams got back in the swing of things this week in a big way. From Justin Herbert’s contract to Joe Burrow’s injury, here is the latest.
If the Vikings and pass rusher Danielle Hunter cannot reach common ground on an extension, Minnesota is open to putting the veteran on the trade market, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. While the Vikings want to sign Hunter long-term, Fowler reports they want him on a deal that matches his age and skill set.
Additionally, according to Fowler, Hunter prefers being traded or released over playing on his current contract.
Hunter is entering the final year of a five-year, $70 million extension, but is set to make a base salary of $4.9 million.

Chicago Bears offensive tackle Darnell Wright absolutely “crushed” his conditioning test, according to GM Ryan Poles.
That’s because all offseason, Wright was accidentally training for the wrong test.
“I was looking at the wide receivers’ running portion of the workout, so I was doing theirs. So then I came back and obviously, we have different (standards),” Wright said.
