Sean Payton blamed everyone but Russell Wilson for the Broncos’ failure last season
If you had two working eyes and watched primetime NFL football last season, you probably saw the trainwreck that was the 2022 Denver Broncos.
After trading for QB Russell Wilson and hiring a sentient Star Wars ChatBot former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, the expectations for the Broncos’ offense were sky high. They saw those expectations and fell flat on their face.

Sean Payton has returned to coaching, taking over on the sidelines for the Broncos, and he’s quickly made it known that he isn’t interested in trying to make friends.
While the man Payton replaced, Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, is “out of sight, out of mind” for the Broncos, he isn’t safe from taking a body blow from Payton. During a recent interview with USA Today’s Jarrett Bell, Payton called out everyone involved in the situation with quarterback Russell Wilson, including placing blame on everyone and pointing to the “head coach.
In 2016, after collecting his first million-dollar purse in a 140-pound title defense against Hank Lundy, Terence Crawford did what many would: He bought a house, dropping $150,000 for a modest, four-bedroom home in Omaha, Neb. Seven years, several titles and many millions of dollars later and Crawford is still in Omaha, still in the same house, still, at 36, living largely the same life that turned him into (arguably) the top fighter in the world.
“I had thoughts about moving,” says Crawford, who is finishing construction of a new home in—wait for it—Omaha.
Here’s a look at which MLB-calibre Blue Jays players hold the most value ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
The Los Angeles Angels are going for it.
In recent weeks and months there has been immense speculation, discussion and debate over what the Angels should be doing with their two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. It appears the answer is nothing.
Late Wednesday night, the Angels doubled down and acquired pitchers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez from the White Sox in exchange for minor league pitchers. The move helps bolster their bullpen and gives them options (as well as weapons) to set up for a playoff run.
Chase Claypool knows he has something to prove.
The Chicago Bears made a mid-season trade for the 25-year-old in 2022 and had plans to make him their WR1. But so far, the experiment hasn’t quite worked out. Fans are frustrated, and Claypool is feeling the heat.
“It’s the biggest year of my life, and I understand that,” Claypool said after camp on Wednesday. “If anybody thinks my work ethic isn’t matching that, they’re deeply mistaken.”
Claypool was an up-and-coming wideout for the Steelers after posting more than 800 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons.

In the wake of the cheating seen at a PGA Tour Canada event, tour pro Michael Kim detailed a similar experience on Twitter.
Earlier this week, Justin Doeden, a journeyman pro who has grinded his way through various mini-tours, admitted to cheating at the Commissionaires Ottawa Open, a PGA Tour Canada event held simultaneously as The Open Championship.
As the 2023 NFL season slowly creeps into the foreground, HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ is almost here to bridge the gap for football fans and give a small taste of what’s to come. There are few things that get the blood pumping like the Hard Knocks theme song!
One of those few things that out-hype the theme song is the first clip from the show that leaks around this time each year. And sure enough, it dropped Wednesday afternoon.
This year’s show will feature the New York Jets — even though the organization tried its best to avoid that exact situation.
Sean Payton is back in the NFL as the head coach of the Broncos, and he has no time or interest in sparing anyone’s feelings during his first season in Denver. This includes the darlings of the NFL offseason, the Jets, who Payton had directly in his crosshairs with recent comments.
During a recent interview with USA Today’s Jarrett Bell, Payton responded to the topic of Denver’s woefully disappointing season last year … by flipping the script and putting Gang Green on blast.
“It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,” Payton said.
Radio host Mike Valenti made some incredibly strange comments directed at Michigan fans, and he might want to consider dialing back the rhetoric.
Valenti, who is a Michigan State alum, was talking about the Spartans playing the Wolverines under the lights October 21 in East Lansing.
It should be an epic game, especially given the brawl that happened in 2022. There was an absolute melee in the tunnel against Michigan players that saw multiple MSU players arrested. The rematch in East Lansing should be a crazy atmosphere.
