Tiki Barber thinks Aaron Rodgers going to the 49ers is a very real possibility.
A stunning report in early April from FS1 star Craig Carton indicated the 49ers might be attempting to put together a trade package for the Green Bay Packers QB.
“The conversation has been multiple third round picks in this draft and a first round draft pick in next year’s draft,” Carton told viewers a couple months ago.
Trade talks haven’t publicly advanced between the 49ers and Packers, and Barber thinks the 49ers are now a very real option for the Packers QB.

Wisconsin offensive coordinator Phil Longo wants fans to know the wide receivers on the roster are pretty talented.
The Badgers have had a passing attack over the past three years that resembled more of a water gun than a rifle. It was downright watching the Graham Mertz-led offense at times. Passing the ball seemed like an impossible task for large chunks of his tenure.
Now, Luke Fickell and Phil Longo are in charge, Mertz left for Florida, Tanner Mordecai is the presumed QB1 and the team’s OC wants people to know the WR room isn’t terrible.
Oakland A’s president Dave Kaval announced the team has signed a binding agreement to purchase land near the Las Vegas Strip, with the intent to build a $1.5 billion stadium on the site.
Dillon Brooks exchanged words with LeBron James during Wednesday’s Game 2 win over the Lakers. “I poke bears,” he said.
For all of Ja Morant’s fabulous talent, the strength of the Grizzlies’ team had little to do with him. For 82 games during the regular season Memphis stood as one of the NBA’s top defensive teams. First in defensive field goal percentage. Second in defensive rating. Fourth in defensive rebounds. So with Morant out for Game 2 of the Grizzlies’ first-round series against the Lakers with a hand injury, Memphis leaned into what it does best.
The Grizzlies beat Los Angeles 103–93 on Wednesday, evening the series. Memphis held L.A. to 41.2% shooting. The Lakers connected on just 26.
Max Scherzer’s ejection Wednesday highlights inconsistencies in MLB’s regulation of pitchers’ use of grip-enhancing substances.
Dillon Brooks wasn’t lacking any confidence after the Grizzlies’ win in Game 2 against the Lakers on Wednesday, during which he hit a late three-pointer to stick the dagger in Los Angeles.
Despite a lackluster shooting performance in which he shot 5-of-14 from the field and 2-of-9 from deep, Brooks dropped a scalding hot take about Lakers star LeBron James after the duo was seen jawing at each other during Game 2.
Via Damichael Cole of Memphis News, Brooks told reporters that he wished he’d had the chance to guard James back during his time with the Cavaliers or Heat.
The Grizzlies evened up the series against the Lakers on Wednesday, grabbing an important win on their home court before the series flips to Los Angeles for Games 3 and 4.
Ja Morant was unavailable during the Game 2 victory while nursing a hand injury he sustained in Game 1. Despite him not suiting up, Morant, and his daughter, were in attendance for the game to cheer on Memphis.
After the game, Morant and his daughter were interviewed on the court, during which she delivered his classic one-liner to the fans at the FedEx Forum.
With all the focus on the pitch clock—and the other shiny new policies for umpires to enforce—it’s been easy to forget about the first big rulebook controversy of the decade. That would be “sticky stuff,” or foreign substances that pitchers can use to increase spin, and the weeks of drama that resulted from a crackdown in 2021. The umpires’ regular checks of pitchers have now more or less faded into the background. The broadcast cameras no longer make a point of showing each one, and if you didn’t know better, you might not realize the practice was still happening at all.
Postgame meetings between an NBA player and heckling fans usually don’t end well. Such is the case for Bradley Beal.
The Washington Wizards guard is being sued for $50,000 after a postgame altercation with Orlando Magic fans got physical. On Mar. 31, an Orlando heckler at Amway Arena targeted Beal over a failed bet, shouting obscenities and prodding the NBA player.
According to the plaintiff, Kyler Briffa, his friend at the game shouted, “‘You made me lose $1,300, you f**k,’” in Beal’s direction as he walked to the players tunnel.
