The NFL preseason can be entertaining too!
Monday Night Football’s broadcast of the Washington Commanders versus Baltimore Ravens treated audiences to a hilariously awkward moment involving Joe Buck and new Commanders owner Josh Harris.
Josh Harris = Great Owner, Terrible TV Guest
Harris purchased the team for $6.05 BILLION this offseason. But the reality of liberating Washington football fans from Daniel Snyder’s mismanagement of the franchise has been priceless.

This might be an all-time awkward moment in MNF history
The Washington Commanders hosted the Baltimore Ravens in preseason action on Monday night, and it was the first game at FedEx Field under the team’s new ownership group, led by Josh Harris.
Given that it was also the first game for the Commanders on Monday Night Football since the ownership change, it made perfect sense for Harris to pay a special visit to Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the broadcast booth.
When Danny White took the athletic director job at Tennessee in 2021, he had a massive task on his hands to rebuild the Vols athletic department. The process started with hiring a new head football coach after Jeremy Pruitt was fired due to NCAA violations. Both Josh Heupel and Tony Elliott were candidates for the opening at Tennessee.
After taking the position in Knoxville, White went to work in finding the right guy to lead the program, knowing he had to get this one right.
When it comes to sports predictions, there’s perhaps none more iconic than the legend of Babe Ruth’s called shot during the 1932 World Series. Perhaps it’s because of the folk hero-like status that Ruth has occupied for nearly a century or the fact that hitting a home run is so hard to do, but predicting a homer stands as the coolest bit sports forecasting there is.
That’s what makes this sequence from Monday’s game between the Red Sox and Astros so entertaining. With two outs in the top of the first inning of a scoreless game, Boston’s Adam Duvall stepped to the plate.
The Ravens are seeking their 25th-straight preseason win, but Washington rookie CB Jartavius Martin is doing what he can to break the streak
As a football player, you are taught at an early age to “play to the whistle.”
Washington Commanders rookie Jartavius Martin offered a textbook example of that expression on Monday night.
Facing the Baltimore Ravens — a team searching their 25th-straight preseason victory — Martin and the Washington defense was on the field facing a 2nd-and-3 situation midway through the second quarter, with the Ravens knocking on the red zone.
Phillies star Bryce Harper recorded an inside-the-park home run during the fifth inning of Monday’s tilt against the Giants, benefitting from a massive ricochet and a misplay from center fielder Wade Meckler in order to make it all the way around the bases.
Harper’s hit careened off the tall wall in center field before bouncing back into the outfield. Meckler was able to get to it before too long, but fumbled twice when trying to pick the ball up off the grass, enabling Harper to freely slide into home plate without a throw.
The Colts have given Jonathan Taylor permission to seek a trade, which feels like a longer and more frustrating route toward finding the same conclusion: teams don’t value the position in a way that will ever be satisfying to running backs (even though their total value versus the cap has not plummeted over time), which means the Colts will have an impossible time finding both just value in return and a partner club that will facilitate a top-of-the-market extension once the trade is consummated.
The lawyer representing Xavien Howard has filed a motion in Broward County, Fla., to dismiss a lawsuit claiming the Miami Dolphins cornerback made a sex tape with a woman and then disseminated it.
Howard vigorously denies the allegation and so attorney Bard Sohn on Monday moved on behalf of his client to get the case thrown out of civil court. Sohn previously was successful in convincing another woman who claimed in a suit Howard had passed an STD to her, to drop that lawsuit.
“After Mr.
It’s rare to see standout NFL running backs traded in their primes.
Following the news that Jonathan Taylor has been granted permission to seek a trade, reports surfaced that the Colts will not simply give Taylor away without receiving sizable capital in return.
Let’s take a look back at some of the most notable trades in recent years involving backs who changed uniforms.
Last October, the 49ers landed Pro Bowl back Christian McCaffrey from the Panthers in exchange for a 2023 second, third and fourth round pick as well as a fifth-round pick in 2024.
