Ohio State players stick together.
The New York Jets are the cool kids of the NFL.
By kids I mean literally. The Jets went home with both the Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards this season with Garrett Wilson taking home the former and Sauce Gardner the latter. It is pretty rare for a team to clean up like that.

Since its inception in 2006, the World Baseball Classic has been a fun event for hardcore fans, but it has never quite shed its reputation as a silly little World Cup wannabe. To an extent, this is understandable. Despite baseball’s global reach, soccer is by far the most popular sport in the world.
Just look at some of this year’s WBC rosters, which were revealed last night on MLB Network, and you’ll notice more U.S.
