Matt Harmon and Frank Schwab debate who will be this year’s Denver Broncos – a team with a ton of hype that becomes the biggest disappointment of the season.
Miami can’t get help soon enough. All postseason, the Miami Heat have been this year’s Cinderella story as the Jimmy Butler-led group fights for the Larry O’Brien trophy with a shorthanded roster.

The NFL reportedly is investigating Colts cornerback Isaiah Rodgers for violating its gambling policy, and the fourth-year cornerback could be in for a very serious punishment.
Pro Football Talk reports Rodgers is facing a potential lifetime ban from the NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell has “unilateral authority” over all gambling-related cases, and the league’s gambling policy gives him the right to kick Rodgers out of the league.
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback situation — as it was last season — will be one of the most focused-upon storylines across the NFL. While everyone and their mother knew there was going to be some kind of quarterback drama, tight end George Kittle may have just fanned those flames a little bit.
Kittle spoke to the media during OTAs and from what he’s seen so far, Trey Lance has drastically improved.
“I’m not gonna lie to you guys, I think Trey looks significantly better than he did last year.”

Seven months ago, Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah finished third in voting for the American League Cy Young Award. Now, he’s heading back to the minors.
Toronto announced it’s sending its former ace to the Florida Complex League on Tuesday, one day after Manoah gave up six runs while recording just one out against the Astros. Through 13 starts, Manoah is 1-7 with a 6.36 ERA.
“It’s not a knee-jerk reaction,” manager John Schnedier said of the decision, per MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson.
The PGA Tour and DP World Tour have joined forces with the LIV Golf League “to unify the game of golf … under one umbrella,” Jay Monahan said.
Jacob deGrom will undergo surgery to repair a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament. GM Chris Young did not specify what procedure deGrom will have.
Buffalo Bill safety Damar Hamlin is leading an incredible comeback.
Just months after nearly dying on the field, Hamlin has put on football pads as a full participant at Bills practice. Hamlin showed out Tuesday in complete gear for his first full day of drills this offseason. His career appeared in jeopardy after suffering an on-field cardiac arrest in early January, requiring CPR to be revived after his heart stopped.

Few expected Hamlin to make such a swift recovery.
There’s a common term among the fantasy football community: “third-year-breakout wide receiver.” It implies, obviously, that the third year of a career is when most wide receivers realize their potential. One guy who embodied that: San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel.
Heading into the 2021-22 season, Samuel had just under 1,400 scrimmage yards in his first two years across 22 games played. But in his third year, Samuel more than doubled his career figure.
The former Gamecock amassed over 1,400 yards receiving alone and added 365 rushing yards. He scored 14 touchdowns.
