After stepping out of bounds with personal attacks on many involved with the Broncos’ struggles last season, Sean Payton made his best attempt at damage control on Friday.
Despite having experience both in front of and behind the microphone in his career, Payton admitted that it’s an experience that he will learn from in the future.
“I had one of those moments where I still had my Fox hat and not my coaching hat,” said a contrite Payton. “Here I am the veteran stepping in it and it was a learning experience for me and it was a mistake. Obviously I need a little bit more filter.
Alex Rodriguez may soon be joining FOX full-time.
The former 3x American League MVP and World Series Champion is reportedly in talks for big money from the network, according to The Hollywood Reporter. If a deal is worked out, FOX would have exclusive rights to A-Rod, meaning he would no longer be able to be an analyst on ESPN. However, it wouldn’t be implemented until after this season.
Rodriguez currently does double duty on both networks. He serves as a FOX baseball analyst with a prominent role during the MLB playoffs alongside Kevin Burkhardt, David Ortiz and newcomer Derek Jeter.
It’s no secret that Joe Burrow was about to sign a massive contract extension—in some way, shape or form—before the Bengals’ star quarterback went down with what looked like a consequential injury, but the team now says is merely a calf strain, during Bengals practice Thursday.
It’s also no secret that, despite a far more complicated and nuanced reality, there is a perception that Cincinnati is not a generous, player-friendly franchise.
The “Swifties” are back in the news.
Fans taking in Taylor Swift’s latest “Eras Tour” stop in Seattle witnessed history, as fans inside Lumen Field caused seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake as Swift performed last weekend.
The “Swift Quake” at Lumen Field rivaled that of the 2011 “Beast Quake” that came when running back Marshawn Lynch scored his iconic 67-yard touchdown run against the Saints in the playoffs.
In fact, the Swift Quake edged out the Beast Quake by 0.3 on the seismograph, according to seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach.
The Green Bay Packers elected to cut defensive lineman Jonathan Garvin on Friday afternoon. The Packers cutting a player who started just one game in his three-year stint with the franchise wouldn’t be news 364 days of the year, but his release came on the one day it does matter: his birthday.
Just before 9 a.m. ET on Friday, the Packers shared a photo of Garvin with a big smile on his face wishing him a happy birthday. Just a few hours later, they informed him that he is now unemployed.

UFC 291 is an incredibly deep, star-studded card, and it has the potential for the most exciting main event of the year in Dustin Poirier–Justin Gaethje.

Verstappen was fastest on Friday, but it will be Leclerc in P1 when the lights go out Sunday
When he needed it most, Max Verstappen came through yet again. After barely advancing to Q3 in Friday’s qualifying ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, placing tenth in Q2, Verstappen came through with his best lap of the afternoon at Spa at the very end of Q3, grabbing pole position away from Charles Leclerc.
But it will be Leclerc who starts the Grand Prix in P1 anyway.
Steelers running back Najee Harris is one of several running backs seeking contract extensions with their respective franchises, but the money doesn’t sound like it’s coming anytime soon.
So what’s to blame for the lack of interest for NFL teams in paying running backs?
For Pittsburgh general manager Omar Khan, the answer is quite simple.
“You don’t have to be a mathematician to figure it out,” Khan told TribLive.com.

Tuning into an LPGA major championship should not be hard, yet watching this week’s Amundi Evian Championship is nearly impossible.
