The former NASCAR champ joined someone named Kevin Harvick earlier this week to talk all things racing. And by that, I mean he told Harvick that he only runs Xfinity Series races to embarrass all the entitled, snot-nosed kids down there who think they’re the greatest thing on God’s green earth.
The most cringe-worthy thing I read this week came courtesy of former New York Giants coach and current University of Colorado offensive coordinator, Pat Shurmur, who compared Shedeur Sanders to Daniel Jones.
Shurmur, speaking to the New York Post, basically told a New York audience he sees a lot of Jones, his former player, in Sanders, who he just coached the past two seasons.

The Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions, and as we approach the 2025 NFL draft, this roster will look dramatically different after suffering several free-agent losses. Philadelphia suffered massive losses as the first wave of free agency saw Josh Sweat (Cardinals), Milton Williams (Patriots), Kenneth Gainwell (Steelers), Mekhi Becton (Chargers), Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings), Fred Johnson (Jaguars), Parris Campbell (Cowboys), Darius Slay (CB) and Oren Burks (Bengals) all depart.
