Former Arizona Cardinals wideout DeAndre Hopkins approved Thursday’s trade between AZ and the New York Giants, adding slight shade at his ex-team.
The Giants acquired linebacker Isaiah Simmons, a former seventh-overall pick, from the Cards for a seventh-round pick.
Hopkins called the trade a “steal” for the Giants, adding some laughing emojis to really drive the “loss” for the Cardinals.
Safe to say, Hopkins is hardly a fan of his former teams.

George Pickens is doing George Pickens things against the Falcons
If the opening offensive drive of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final preseason game is any indication, then second-year wide receiver George Pickens is in midseason form.
Pickens, who wowed Steelers fans — and NFL fans alike — with his catch radius as a rookie, turned in one of the more impressive plays of the preseason in Thursday night’s preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Time to shut down any comeback rumors. Ex-Patriots wide receiver and former Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman is joining Fox Sports as an analyst for “FOX NFL Sunday,” per the network.
It’s a great addition to the network. Edelman is a legend in Foxborough and is reputable as an on-air talent.
Edelman re-teams with two familiar faces currently employed by Fox Sports: former Pats QB Tom Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski.
FOX Sports executive Brad Zager released a statement:
“We are thrilled to welcome Julian Edelman to the FOX Sports family.
WWE star Bray Wyatt, whose real name is Windham Rotunda, died Thursday, according to an announcement from WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque.
Levesque took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday to share the unexpected passing of the former world champion, who was only 36 years old. No cause of death has been reported.
“Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda – also known as Bray Wyatt – unexpectedly passed earlier today,” he wrote.
Stephen Strasburg has existed to baseball fans in the last few years largely as a hypothetical.
As the pitcher tried to mount a grueling recovery from thoracic outlet syndrome over the last few years—he was able to pitch just a handful of collective innings over the past three seasons—there was precious little factual information to go on. The hypotheticals filled the void instead: If he were healthy. If he could make a comeback. If he weren’t really done.
A video that has been circulating on social media over the past 24 hours has now caught the attention of Valdosta State university officials. The video first made its way to social media after being posted by former player Asher Akridge.
In the video, Akridge and a man who identifies himself as the head coach are in a back and forth discussion about the length of Akridge’s hair being the reason why he’s not allowed to play. You can’t see the player or the coach during the length of the almost three minute video during which Asher is pleading to be able to play.
Say it with me: the NFL preseason doesn’t matter! Yes, these are words I live by. However, I am a human being with human emotions. And one team that I seem to be higher on than others is the Pittsburgh Steelers. So, I’m going to choose to believe that Kenny Pickett, George Pickens and company tearing apart defenses this preseason DOES matter.
Prior to Thursday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers first-team offense (led by Pickett) played three preseason series. All three of those drives ended in touchdowns.
Pickett completed 9-11 passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns.
WWE wrestler Windham Rotunda, best known by fans as Bray Wyatt, died unexpectedly Thursday at the age of 36, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced.
The company confirmed the news of Rotunda’s death in a statement shared on Twitter by Levesque, who noted his father, WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda (a.k.a IRS), disclosed the information.
“Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda – also known as Bray Wyatt – unexpectedly passed earlier today.
Kenny Pickett has been on fire during the preseason.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo told the New York Times that he does not plan to sign a contract extension when he becomes eligible next month.
