ESPN promoted Robert Griffin III to a lead analyst role on Monday Night Football last season, in one of the more dumbfounding programming decisions of the year.
Already, ESPN is looking to demote him from the desk. The Athletic reported on Tuesday that Jason Kelce could also join the show.
“Monday Night Countdown” is not “First Take.” “Countdown” leads into Disney’s most lucrative investment in television, the NFL – for which Disney pays $2.7 billion annually.

Free agent pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney has agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the Panthers.

The Dodgers and All-Star catcher Will Smith are finalizing a 10-year, $140 million contract extension, sources told ESPN.

If you’re wondering whether Jayden Daniels had a good pro day on the Baton Rouge campus of Louisiana State University on Wednesday, the answer is yes.
It’s almost always yes for quarterback prospects slated to go high in the NFL draft. Zach Wilson had a great pro day. Ja’Marcus Russell, a long-ago LSU legend, had a great pro day.
Both became NFL busts with the teams that picked them.

Now that the illustrious Sean Payton-Russell Wilson marriage is officially over, it’s time to get down to business.

Women’s college basketball caught the men and passed them in television ratings last year during Final Four weekend. But the women still have miles to go to get even close to the men in the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
Viewers of the men’s games last Thursday through Sunday in the first two rounds dwarfed the women’s opening two rounds on Friday through Monday by 10 to 1. But the women rallied on Monday night when there were no men’s games to watch as iconic superstar Caitlin Clark and Iowa averaged 4.9 million viewers for their nail-biting win over No.

The anticipated visit of Lionel Messi to Gillette Stadium next month is set to break the New England Revolution’s long-standing single-game attendance record, with over 60,000 tickets already sold for the matchup with Inter Miami.

LeBron James is expected to be available Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies after missing the Lakers’ double-overtime game Tuesday.

Major League Baseball’s owners have unanimously approved private-equity billionaire David Rubenstein as the new owner of the Baltimore Orioles.

Iowa women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark had been offered $5 million to play in Ice Cube’s Big3 league, but it remains to be seen if that is feasible under current WNBA union rules.
