The most anticipated documentary surrouding a college football team will finally be released to the public on Tuesday, as ‘Swamp Kings‘ debuts on Netflix. A story about the Florida Gators’ rise back to the top under head coach Urban Meyer has people anxiously awaiting for the four-part series to drop.
Unfortunately, what had the appeal of a stunning behind-the-scenes look at the culture in Gainesville under Meyer quickly turned into a promotional video for the Florida football program.

The rookie QB flashed veteran traits on Thursday night against the Eagles
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has seen limited action through the team’s first three preseason games, playing just 12 plays in the Browns’ game against the Washington Commanders a week ago. That has opened the door for Cleveland’s backup quarterbacks to take advantage of an opportunity for increased playing time, and one player seems to have capitalized on the chance.
Rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
The Commanders made it official on Friday, naming second-year quarterback Sam Howell as their starting quarterback for the 2023 season. Head coach Ron Rivera made the announcement at a press conference early Friday morning.
“He’s basically met the challenges we’ve talked about,” Rivera said, via Matthew Paras of the Washington Times. “We’ve been very pleased with him.”
Washington drafted Howell out of North Carolina in the fifth round of the 2022 draft and sat him for most of his rookie season.
Who will win the Women’s World Cup Final? It is time for Fútbol Court
The Women’s World Cup is down to the final two.
With the USWNT eliminated in the Round of 16, and Japan knocked out in the quarter-finals, it opened the door for a first-time winner of the Women’s World Cup. Both Spain and England advanced to their first-ever Final, with Spain outlastin Sweden and England ending Australia’s Cinderella run.
But which team takes the title?
To answer this question, we turn to the critically acclaimed “Football Court” format.
Logan Webb has plenty of numbers to take pride in this year. He boasts one of the lowest walk rates in MLB. He’s one of just two starters to post an ERA+ above 130 in each of the last three seasons. (The other is Shohei Ohtani.) He’s increased his strikeout rate from last year and has been the most dependable member of the rotation for the contending Giants. But there’s one statistic the righty holds especially dear.
His innings pitched.
Webb leads MLB in innings at 163.
The 2023-24 NFL season kick-off is almost here! OutKick is unveiling its team-by-team preview series. Last week, we covered the AFC and NFC West. This week, we’re tackling the AFC North and NFC North. We finished the NFC North on Thursday and now conclude the AFC North with last year’s champion, the Cincinnati Bengals.
Cincinnati Bengals 2022-23 Record: 12-4
Cincinnati Bengals 2023-24 Win Total Over/Under: 10.5
Offseason Moves
The Cincinnati Bengals did something that they don’t normally do — they spent some money in free agency.
Zach Johnson will be faced with tough decisions in less than two weeks’ time when he makes his captain’s picks for the upcoming Ryder Cup in Rome. Brooks Koepka shouldn’t play a factor in the U.S. captain’s looming decisions, or so we thought.
After picking up his third PGA Championship earlier this year and a T-2 finish at the Masters in April, Koepka currently finds himself fifth in the U.S. team standings. The top six in the standings after the conclusion of this week’s BMW Championship will automatically earn a spot on the team headed to Rome.
There was a time when running backs ruled the fantasy football world. Now, with NFL offenses going so pass-heavy, the top teams are drafting wide receivers early and often.
For today’s MLB bet we are going to try a two-game parlay to get us to plus money. I like both of these plays on their own, but they pay much better when played together (+115).
Phillies ML (-188)
Michael Lorenzen has allowed only two runs across 17 innings pitched since joining the rotation in Philadelphia, and in his last outing he faced this same Nationals team and delivered a complete game no-hitter. His post All-Star break ERA is a mere 1.45, and there’s no reason to think he won’t be sharp again tonight.
Von Miller considers the fate of the modern-day pass rusher like a philosopher mulls the meaning of life. For the Bills’ sack master there’s not much difference, which is to say that Miller thinks about the purpose of his existence—dropping quarterbacks like bad habits—incessantly, in or out of season, awake or asleep, growing more obsessed each day.
