The Bucs need to reload on defense if they plan on repeating as division champs.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on an incredible hot streak, winning the NFC South for four straight years. As they begin another season with a new offensive coordinator, I have more faith in that side of the ball keeping up their high level of play with QB Baker Mayfield and WR Mike Evans returning. However, the defense is somewhere that I think the Bucs could address some of their issues through the draft.

The NFL is rolling in the dough.
The expectation was that the NFL salary cap was going to rise again in 2025, but nobody had any idea how large the number would be. A memo sent to teams on Wednesday stated that the upcoming cap would fall “between $277.5M and $281.5M,” an increase of over $20M from 2024.
Naturally this will have massive ramifications on free agency and player extensions moving forward. It also falls $5-9M over the estimate from OverTheCap.com, an online resource of team cap figures.

But did the Canadian fans go too far? Or did the booing and ridiculing actually have the reverse effect and embolden / hype up Team USA players? After all, the Americans did win 3-1.

Kansas basketball is learning experience and money can’t overcome a bad roster construction.
Bill Self’s stranglehold on Big 12 men’s basketball has been just about the most consistent thing in all of sports. Self’s Kansas Jayhawks won at least a share of the Big 12 regular season championship 14 straight years from 2002-2018, breaking a record previously held by John Wooden’s UCLA Bruins. Even after the streak broke, Kansas bounced back with one of Self’s greatest teams ever in 2020 before the pandemic canceled in the NCAA tournament.
