49ers tight end George Kittle acknowledged that San Francisco’s Super Bowl window “could be closing,” leading to a strong sense of urgency for the club to win now.
After making consecutive NFC championship appearances, the pass-catching talent believes the 49ers have a roster capable of winning the franchise’s first Super Bowl since 1994. However, Kittle understands the NFL’s salary cap will inevitably lead to changes in the near future.
Witherspoon is the last first-rounder to agree to a deal.
Life in the NFL is cruel.
Jonathan Garvin woke up to the birthday wish from the Green Bay Packers on Friday. The linebacker was drafted by Green Bay in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Miami, and had played 38 games for the team over the last three years, including one start.
Getting a birthday wish from the official team account must have been a really nice feeling for Garvin. Unfortunately, what came next wasn’t.
Here’s the shot.

A birthday may be a special celebration, but it doesn’t stop from business being conducted. Just ask linebacker Jonathan Garvin about that.
Friday marked Garvin’s 24th birthday, and the Packers wished their linebacker a Happy Birthday with a tweet in the morning to mark the occasion. However, the show still goes on, as coach Matt LaFleur told reporters at his press conference that Green Bay released Garvin from the team just three hours after the social media account sent the birthday tweet.

Once labeled as the ‘Conference of Champions’, the Pac-12 is now treading in the water right after Colorado’s move to the Big 12.
Just a year after UCLA and USC announced they were leaving for the Big 10, the once prominent conference on the West Coast finds itself wondering what to do next. A year of commissioner George Kilavkoff assuring members that they would be ok when it comes to a television contract has turned into a running joke.
Hiding behind statements to buy enough time to negotiate a media rights deal that would benefit its remaining members now looks like fools gold.
Under Jay Wright, Villanova basketball not only entered the conversation as a “Blue Blood” program by winning two national championships, but they also developed a plethora of current NBA talent such as Jalen Brunson, Kyle Lowry, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo and Mikal Bridges.
From a viral video on social media, it appears that the Wildcats have yet another emerging sharp-shooting talent that will be unleashed on the collegiate scene this season and beyond.
Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor is one of the last people you’d think would be able to pick up a double on a soft groundball up the middle. But he did it on Thursday against the White Sox.
Naylor is slower than 79% of MLB players, according to Baseball Savant. In 417 career games, he has just 15 stolen bases and one triple. He isn’t usually the type of player who’s going to try his luck and dig for an extra base—except for on a very weird play on Thursday.
Energized by the addition of Colorado on Thursday to reach 13 members for the 2024-25 academic year, the Big 12 plans to press the pace to get to 14, sources tell Sports Illustrated.
Specifically, the Big 12 wants answers quickly from one to three Pac-12 schools: Arizona, Arizona State and Utah. Adding one is the most likely scenario, sources familiar with the Big 12’s gameplan say, and that is the short-term goal.
“We’re looking at 14,” a source says. Arizona appears to be the most likely of the three to go.
Jalen Ramsey’s return is still to be determined by surgery on his left meniscus, but the Dolphins say the beginning of the regular season isn’t realistic.
