Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been noncommittal when it comes to naming New England’s starting quarterback in 2023, refusing to declare incumbent Mac Jones as the starter for the upcoming campaign.
Bailey Zappe figures to be in the conversation for the starting job, if it truly is up for grabs, and the former Western Kentucky quarterback indicated that he’d be eager to take advantage of any opportunity he receives.
With uncertainties surrounding Jones’s grasp over the starting job, Zappe was asked about his thoughts on an “open competition” at the quarterback position.

Do not, under any circumstances call Shaq the C-word.
… No, not that one. We’re talking about the word “celebrity.”
Shaq spoke to People and said he swore off that term decades ago because he didn’t want to be associated with them.
“I denounced myself from being a celebrity thirty years ago because a lot of celebrities are a–holes,” he told People.
“I don’t want to be in that category. I’d rather demote myself to being just a regular person before you call me a celebrity and put me in the category of those jerk-offs.
The Green Bay Packers’ potential desired compensation for Aaron Rodgers is swirling.
In the wake of their first National League pennant since 2009, the Phillies have struggled out of the gate to begin 2023. Philadelphia is 4–7, three and a half games behind the first-place Braves in the NL East.
During the Phillies’ 8–4 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday, however, things went off the rails in a different fashion.
The team’s dollar-dog night promotion spiraled into a hail of hot dogs as fans appeared to hurl frankfurters at each other throughout the contest.
We get that Isiah Thomas is enjoying his moment in the spotlight, but what the heck is he thinking?
One of the OG “Bad Boy” Pistons appeared for an interview on ESPN’s Keyshawn, JMax & Max Show and put on a bit that went on for way too long and was a comedic misfire.
Were they attempting to be funny?
Was Isiah Thomas seriously distraught?
Did Max Kellerman pull out a dull race joke?
Was Isiah Thomas Mad At ESPN?
During his commentary on the program, Isiah Thomas pointed out that the photo used by the ESPN broadcast made him look “upset” and asked the producers to change the image.
Who doesn’t love a great feel-good story in sports? That’s Jeffery Simmons. The Tennessee Titans gave Simmons a massive $94 contract million extension last week with $66 million guaranteed.
The Titans drafted Simmons with the 19th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Simmons starred at Mississippi State before entering the draft. Before that, he won back-to-back state championships at Noxubee County High School in Mississippi.
Simmons is a two-time NFL All-Pro and has rewarded the Titans for taking him in the first round. In turn, they rewarded him with a big-money contract.
Charles Robinson & Charles McDonald recap the latest news from around the NFL, including the Jeff Okudah trade and concerning news around Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell. Later, the duo dive into their biggest risers and fallers in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Before the New Orleans Saints won their first playoff game in history on Dec. 30, 2000, then-owner Tom Benson found voodoo priestess Ava Kay Jones. She blessed the Superdome before kickoff and cursed the team’s opponent that day – the St. Louis Rams.
The dome was built on a graveyard, after all, and the team never had a winning season from its birth in 1967 through 1986. The Saints finally reached the NFL Playoffs in 1987, but went winless in four appearances through the 1992 season.
Brian Kelly had a fake southern accent during his first public address at LSU in December of 2021. Period.
Brian Kelly Apparently Developed A New Accent After Accepting LSU Job
There is simply no way to deny the phony southern twang, even though the 61-year-old head coach has done so time and time again, like he did this week. Kelly doubled, if not tripled or quadrupled down on the fact that he was not faking a southern accent on a recent appearance on ‘Bussin’ with the Boys.’
Before we break this down — let me break the third wall for a second.

Hey everyone … a few tidbits before we get to your questions:
• Here’s a Q/A with Alex Gibney, director of the excellent Boris Becker doc, out this week on Apple.
• Congrats to Miami’s Todd Rubinstein—Alonzo & Tracy Mourning Senior High Head Tennis Coach—on his 500th coaching win.
Jon,
I saw your piece on 60 Minutes about Saudi Arabia and sportswashing. Very interesting. I noticed you mentioned the exhibition won by Taylor Fritz. My question: what is tennis’ official position and will we see an ATP or WTA tournament there?
