Football fans are so desperate to watch ANYTHING that they are spending hundreds of dollars to see the Cleveland Browns vs. the New York Jets.
But this isn’t for a regular season game pitting newly signed Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers against Deshaun Watson. No, this is for tonight’s Hall of Fame Game.
In fact, Rodgers isn’t even going to be in uniform, so all eyes will be on former No. 2 overall draft pick Zach Wilson of the Jets. Needless to say, the pressure is on after last season.
StubHub.
There are some scenarios in life where your brain completely shuts off and instincts take over. When you see a car barreling towards you, you get out of the way. When the bartender asks ‘one more’ you say yes without even looking at them. And when a baseball is hit in your general direction, you try and catch it.
This is exactly what happened when a young Los Angeles Dodgers fan reached over the right-field wall to snag a one-hop line drive hit directly at him on Wednesday night.

Don’t let the impending doom of the Pac-12 take your attention away from a very fun football season ahead.
The Pac-12 might be dying as we speak.
With USC and UCLA packing their bags for B1G-ger, greener pastures next year, the other Pac-12 schools are scrambling to find safe footing just in case things fall apart for the conference.
It’s been known for quite some time now that the 2024 PGA Tour schedule would feature a calendar-year season for the first time in 10 years. The number of designated events on next year’s schedule, and specifically how many would remain to have a cut, was still a big question to be answered.
According to Golfweek’s Eamon Lynch, only four of the 12 designated events on the 2024 schedule will have a 36-hole cut. Designated events, which were first introduced in 2023, will feature limited fields and larger purses.
Every Major League pitcher can probably remember his first Big League strikeout, but few are as bizarre as the one belonging to an Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher.
Slade Cecconi (phenomenal name, by the way) made his major league debut Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants. The first batter the 24-year-old faced was Giants first baseman Lamonte Wade Jr.
Cecconi, who has spent most of the season with the Triple-A Reno Aces, battled Wade to a full count.
Then things got totally bizarre with the 3-2 offering.
