Are the Jets about to sign a wideout out of spite for the New York Giants?

With Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia and Lionel Messi playing for MLS side Inter Miami, one of soccer’s greatest rivalries is on its way out. 
Ronaldo seemingly agrees with that sentiment, telling Portuguese outlet Record as much during a recent interview during which he declared the rivalry “is gone.”
“I don’t see things like that. The rivalry is gone. It was good, spectators liked it,” said Ronaldo. “Those who like Cristiano Ronaldo don’t have to hate Messi and vice versa. We’ve done well, we have changed the history of football.

Nick Bosa understood what Aaron Donald did when the Rams defensive tackle became the highest-paid defensive player in history in June 2022: The value of the nonquarterback contract is not just a reflection of the market, but it is a monetary representation of a team’s willingness to actually try to win a Super Bowl.
That’s why the only surprise with Bosa’s market-topping extension (reportedly a five-year, $170 million deal with $122.5 million guaraneed) being agreed to Wednesday was exactly how long it took to complete.

Former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman is still adjusting to his new role as an analyst on FS1’s Undisputed, but fans were left questioning one of his NBA takes on Wednesday.
The Lakers signed forward Christian Wood on Tuesday night on a two-year deal, so this was one of the show’s big talking points the following morning.
Sherman then shocked the audience when he decided to compare Wood to former Lakers forward Pau Gasol, who recently had his jersey retired by the organization.

The clock was ticking, just under a minute until Duke fans could storm the field to celebrate the upset win over Clemson. But while fans were ready to party, ESPN’s Tom Luginbill was preparing a strategy to find Blue Devils head coach Mike Elko.
We see the chaos on television, but if you’ve never been a part of field storming, while trying to work at the same time, it’s not as easy as you think. Sure, school SID’s are trying to set you up with an interview during the chaos, but even then, problems arise.

Major League Baseball has placed Los Angeles Dodgers starter Julio Urias on administrative leave as a result of a domestic violence investigation.
The Dodgers announced the decision on X (formerly Twitter), saying that the leave is “until further notice while an investigation is being conducted.” The team also said they’d have no further comment, considering the ongoing investigation.

The NFL suspended New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Jake Haener for violating league policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
Haener — drafted out of Fresno State in the 2023 draft — sits out for six games to start the new season.

The Angels had their annual team photo on Tuesday, though there was one notable absence from the squad. Shohei Ohtani was not present for the picture as he nursed an oblique injury he sustained earlier this week. 
In his absence, L.A. opted to use a body double in place of Ohtani. Rather than come forth and say who the individual was, the Angels kept his identity under wraps.
According to Bally Sports West, Angels PR described the stand-in for Ohtani as being ”very tall in the front office, name not to be discussed.

Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher’s condition following a skiing accident is a closely guarded family secret, for obvious family reasons. However, a friend and F1 journalist has given a rare update on the iconic driver’s condition.
Schumacher — who won seven Formula World Championships, including five straight from 2000 to 2004 while driving for Ferrari — hasn’t been seen in public since suffering a serious head injury from hitting his head on a rock while skiing in the French Alps nearly a decade ago.

Naomi Osaka hasn’t played in a professional tennis tournament since September 2022 at the Toray Pan Pacific Open, but it sounds like the four-time Grand Slam champion plans to return in 2024.
When speaking with ESPN at the U.S. Open on Wednesday, Osaka said “yes” after being asked if fans can see her “Down Under” at the Australian Open. That means her return could happen as soon as January.
As for the rest of her 2024, Osaka plans to compete in more tournaments than she has in recent years.
