While there is no right answer to that question, it sparked a heated debate at the Pro Bowl Games. The New York Giants social media team is on-hand in Las Vegas and wanted to know which of their two stars proves more menacing.
Barkley is 6-foot-0, 232 pounds and put up 29 reps on the bench press during the NFL Combine. Lawrence is 6-foot-4, 342 pounds and put up 36 reps on the bench press.

The Warriors expect Stephen Curry to be out through the All-Star break with a left leg injury suffered in Saturday night’s win over Dallas, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Valenzuela burst onto the scene with Los Angeles in 1981, winning Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Award honors.
It’s been 42 years since “Fernandomania” took hold in Los Angeles. Now, the iconic pitcher will be immortalized at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers announced Saturday that they will be retiring Fernando Valenzuela’s No. 34 jersey during the 2023 season during a three-day “Fernandomania” celebration. The festivities will begin on Aug. 11, when Valenzuela’s jersey officially will be displayed.
A collector’s edition bobblehead will be given out on Aug.

Now he too is facing critiques over his physical conditioning.
MLB Network analyst Anthony Recker said that he’d like to see more proof of his “willing to put in a little more time in the gym.”
Manoah, unsurprisingly, did not take that well, clapping back with an immediate response.
“Hey @Anthony_Recker my job isn’t to please you.
Golden State will have to fight to stay afloat without its All-Star point guard.
Warriors star guard Stephen Curry is expected to miss multiple weeks with a left leg injury suffered Saturday night during a game against the Mavericks, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Curry left in the third quarter of Golden State’s 119–113 win over Dallas after banging knees with Mavs guard McKinley Wright IV when Wright was driving to the basket. Initial X-rays on Curry’s left leg came back negative.
Although the Orioles have made the playoffs just three times since 2000, they have a young, exciting core that is focused around Adley Rutschman. The 24-year-old catcher was the No. 1 pick in the 2019 MLB Draft and is the future in Baltimore.
Rutschman is set to report to Spring Training on Feb. 16 with hopes of leading a new generation of Orioles back to consistent success. It’s not an easy task, but he’s proven to be as good as his hype and finished second in American League Rookie of the Year voting last season.
The Hall of Famer was clear in giving his opinion on San Francisco’s quarterback situation.
The 49ers enter the offseason with a question mark at the quarterback position, coming off a season when they used three different starting quarterbacks but still reached the NFC championship game. Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Purdy all started games for San Francisco, combining to lead the team to a 13-4 regular-season record.
With Garoppolo a free agent, Lance and Purdy seem like the two most likely options to start next season.
There seems to be a glaring omission from the Hall of Famer’s list.
Giants legend Lawrence Taylor is regarded as one of the greatest, if not the undisputed best, defensive players in NFL history. While that’s a sentiment the three-time Defensive Player of the Year shares, he also has profound respect and admiration for some of the game’s other great defenders.
Appearing on the I Am Athlete podcast this week, Taylor was asked by host Brandon Marshall whom he ranks as the top five defensive players of all time. After a few moments, L.T. revealed the following group:

Mark Sanchez worries that retired G.O.A.T. Tom Brady may soon be stealing his thunder.
Now that Brady has decided to hang his cleats up after 23 seasons, a new career as a football analyst awaits him at FOX.
Having intimidated Sanchez in the AFC East for several years, Brady is giving Sanchez PTSD as he joins the ex-Jets QB at the FOX network. Sanchez moved from ESPN to FOX in 2021, joining the network as a color analyst.

Speaking on The Dan Patrick Show on Thursday, Sanchez joked that Brady is always “ruining everything” for him.
