NBA MVP voter Mark Jackson is watching basketball with his eyes closed.
The ESPN broadcaster sparked backlash on NBA Twitter after sharing his top-five NBA players in MVP voting this season.
Jackson somehow left out Denver’s Nikola Jokic from his list — a surefire top-five player for the 99 other MVP voters. Add that Jokic helped the Nuggets claim the West’s top seed, and Jackson’s snub is something to question.

The AFC is loaded with quarterbacks. The top four rookie signal-callers will all play each other.

Honestly, the NFL schedule release is one of the more overrated events on the league’s calendar. I love the NFL and I’ll take any content I can get, especially in May. Still, it’s hard to get too excited for events that are months away. But credit to the Los Angeles Chargers for taking this opportunity to absolutely CRUSH the Las Vegas Raiders.
Earlier in the day on Thursday, the Chargers released their annual “Our opponents as Pop-Tarts” Twitter thread. Some are funny, some aren’t. I won’t put them all here, but if you want you can check out the thread on Twitter.

As NFL fans finally learned of their team’s full 2023 schedule on Thursday, the big reveal drew a contentious reaction from Seahawks fans over a notably tough stretch of games scheduled for the final seven weeks of the season.
Seattle, the NFC’s No. 7 seed in 2022, will enter the pivotal final month of the campaign facing a brutal Week 11 to Week 13 schedule. After facing the Rams on the road on Nov. 19, the Seahawks will play back-to-back Thursday night games, first against the visiting 49ers in a primetime Thanksgiving Day matchup on Nov. 23 followed by the Cowboys in a Nov.

MUST. WATCH. NOW.
The NFL schedule release is a time for social media teams around the league to show us how creative and fun they are, before getting muzzled when the season begins. This year everyone brought their A-game, but nobody quite like the Los Angeles Chargers.
Repeating the same theme as 2022, the Chargers went for an homage to anime — but it was absolutely transcendent.

The NFL schedule is finally here! It’s time to circle those dates and play the wait game until action kicks off. Here’s what to look forward to.

The NFL schedule may have been released merely minutes ago, but did you know we’ve been aware of its contents since the end of the 2022 season? The NFL schedule release merely places all the games in order. In essence, if you’re a fan of The Great British Baking Show, we’re talking about the difference between the technical challenge, where ingredients are given sans concrete instructions, and the showstopper challenge, in which contestants know the exact time and measurement that every ingredient must be added.

The NFL announced the full state of Monday Night Football games for the 2023 season on Thursday evening, along with the rest of the schedule for the upcoming year.
As no surprise, four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers will make his Jets’ debut as New York prepares for an early AFC East test against Josh Allen and the Bills on Sept. 11 at MetLife Stadium. The divisional matchup will kick off the first action of NFL football on Mondays next season.

From a Super Bowl rematch to some personal grudges, here are the best revenge games of the 2023 NFL season
We now know the full 2023 NFL schedule.
We can talk about the best games, the best matchups, the thrilling meetings of rookie quarterbacks, and more. But no NFL schedule release is complete with a look at the best revenge games.
From teams seeking revenge for a critical loss last year, to free agents looking to prove a former team wrong, here are the best revenge games of the 2023 NFL schedule.

Cincinnati Bengals vs.

The NFC South was home to the Super Bowl champion in 2020 and sent two teams to the playoffs. Two years later, no team in the division posted a winning record.
Only one game separated the Buccaneers, Saints, Falcons and Panthers in the standings last season, and Tampa Bay finished first. Now, New Orleans is the betting favorite to win the NFC South title, followed by the Falcons and then the Panthers. The Buccaneers, who won it the last two years, have the longest odds following Tom Brady’s retirement.
