The Green Bay Packers front office is keeping its expectations in check heading into the franchise’s first season with Jordan Love as the team’s starting quarterback. Team president and CEO Mike Murphy has even laid out a grace period, so to speak, before he’s going to pass any judgement on the young QB.
In Murphy’s opinion, Love needs at least half a season before anyone should form a cold-hard opinion about the quarterback and his standing as the franchise’s signal caller. With that comes the possibility of the Packers having a losing record.

The Boston Red Sox were able to beat the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, 7-1, on Tuesday night but all anyone will likely remember from that game at Fenway Park was an embarrassing moment for the home team that led to the first triple play of the MLB season.

Alyssa Thompson was 10 years old when she and her younger sister Gisele stuck photos of themselves onto a poster of the U.S. women’s national team for the 2015 World Cup, imagining themselves on the squad.

Since the hardware was reintroduced to the league in 1997, signal-callers have overwhelmingly been the choice of voters. In fact, six quarterbacks won consecutively from 2008 to ’13, and now we’re on another five-year streak with Andrew Luck, Ryan Tannehill, Alex Smith, Joe Burrow and Geno Smith.
However, this year is unique with Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s being the runaway favorite to win the award after needing to be revived on the field in Week 17 against the Bengals.

Greg McElroy thinks Texas is going to cruise through the 2023 season, and he might be setting up fans to, once again, be crushed.
The Longhorns went 8-5 in Steve Sarkisian’s second season, and while some fans might not want to admit it, the 2022 campaign was pretty disappointing.
There was a ton of hype surrounding the team entering the season, especially around QB Quinn Ewers. However, an injury against Alabama took Ewers off the field for an extended period of time, and the Longhorns ended up losing five games before it was all said and done.
