Aaron Rodgers is driving the entire sports world crazy, but nobody is letting the quarterback’s decision affect them more than Mike Greenberg. The ESPN host is a diehard New York Jets fan, but based on updates from his wife, Greenberg seems to be struggling to function as a human being waiting for the Rodgers announcement.
While his Jets’ fandom is a little over the top given that he mentions it just about every time he’s on television, I’m not about to knock a man for being a diehard fan of a team.

The Giants added a new playmaker to Daniel Jones’ arsenal by trading for tight end Darren Waller.
The Giants and Raiders have agreed on a huge trade that sends Darren Waller to the Big Apple, according to published reports. Las Vegas will get the compensatory third-round pick the Giants received in the Kadarius Toney trade in return for the 30-year-old tight end, and Waller gets a new start in New York.
The trade is a good one for Waller, as the Giants lack big-time playmakers in the passing game.
The New York Giants have just essentially traded Kadarius Toney for Darren Waller.
The Giants are sending the third-round pick they acquired in sending Toney to the Kansas City Chiefs (No. 100 overall) to the Raiders for Waller.
And this seems a crazy good trade for the Giants.
Waller, 30, is easily one of the top pass-catching tight ends in the NFL and will add speed to the Giants offense and a potential security blanket for quarterback Daniel Jones, in whom the Giants just invested a $40 million per year long term deal.
I like trade for the Giants. Tight ends are a major matchup problem.

Waller signed a three-year, $51 million extension with the Raiders last offseason and could possibly want more money.
Los Angeles has decided to move on from several key players.
The Rams appear to be rebuilding their team on the fly, moving on from several key players from their Super Bowl-winning team. Los Angeles reportedly traded Jalen Ramsey to the Dolphins and released Leonard Floyd to open up cap space moving forward.
As the Rams roster continues to change, their star players will have to adjust to the change happening around them. On Tuesday, wide receiver Cooper Kupp said goodbye to his two former teammates on social media.
While the Aaron Rodgers saga drags out, Lamar Jackson has become a bit forgotten. The Baltimore Ravens gave him the non-exclusive franchise tag, meaning other teams are free to offer him a contract.
However, the Ravens would then be afforded the opportunity to match. Teams can offer Jackson a contract when the new NFL year begins on Wednesday. As I wrote previously, there’s no way that none of the 31 other teams in the NFL is interested in a former league MVP at 26 years old.
The Lakers’ star has been sidelined since late February.
LeBron James appears to be gearing up for a return to the Lakers. After Tuesday’s shootaround in New Orleans, ahead of the clash against the Pelicans, James was spotted on the court getting some shots up from the free-throw line, via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
Additionally, the 38-year-old posted a cartoon photo of himself in what appears to be a cryotherapy chamber on Instagram, seemingly hinting that he’s making progress towards a return from his foot injury.
James has been sidelined since Feb.
The Cowboys hired the former LSU coach Sunday.
Days into his new job at McNeese State, former LSU coach Will Wade is already in hot water.
Wade will serve a five-game suspension to begin the 2024 season, according to a Tuesday afternoon report from the American Press in Lake Charles, La. The Cowboys hired Wade as their next coach on Sunday after going 11–23 in 2023.
Per Matthew Travis of KPLC in Lake Charles, the suspension was built into Wade’s contract, which also stipulates he cannot participate in “off-campus recruiting related activities through July 31.
In the Big Dance, everybody is looking for a Cinderella. Last year it was Creighton, this year, we have a handful of teams that look the part.
Daniel Jones will have new star pass-catcher in 2023.
The Giants are finalizing a blockbuster trade with the Raiders for star tight end Darren Waller, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
New York will send back a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft—pick No. 100—to Las Vegas in the deal. The Giants acquired that pick from the trade that sent receiver Kadarius Toney to the Chiefs in the middle of last season.
A former sixth-round pick back in 2015, Waller is one of a few elite talents at the tight end position.
