The NFL draft is far from an exact science.
Specifically, clubs in need of a franchise quarterback often swing and miss at the top of the draft. Look no further than Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch and JaMarcus Russell to name just a few.
With Brock Purdy, the last pick of the 2022 draft, ready to be the 49ers’ starter this season, the chorus of voices calling Trey Lance a bust is getting louder.
In 2021, the 49ers sent three first-round picks, as well as a 2022 third-round pick in order to move up from No. 12 to No. 3 to select the North Dakota State standout.

Former USWNT star Carli Lloyd has not been shy about her feelings towards the current iteration of the team.
After the team’s extremely poor performance at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Lloyd spoke out about an “entitlement” culture within the team.

The Aug. 15 deadline for a university to give notice of departure from the Atlantic Coast Conference for the 2024 football season is passing without any tremors out of Tallahassee. But league seismologists are on guard for the needle to twitch at any time.
Prone to public tantrums, Florida State leaders have given every indication that the school wants to leave the ACC as soon as feasible. A university source cautioned Tuesday that “nothing is imminent,” but others in the league aren’t so sure.

Only in baseball is there such a thing as a “routine” play. The term refers to a live ball situation that is so simple—whose outcome is so secure—that it shares a name with the same word used to describe a morning ritual as mundane as making your bed or brushing your teeth.

An investigation has been launched in the Dominican Republic, targeting Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco over an alleged relationship with a minor.

Lionel Messi once again left soccer fans in awe of his skills on Tuesday night.
In his just his sixth game with Inter Miami CF, Messi scored his ninth goal since joining the club in incredible fashion in the Leagues Cup showdown against the Philadelphia Union.

Philadelphia goalkeeper Andre Blake, despite sprawling to his left, was simply helpless to stop the blast from distance.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase might be the best WR in the NFL. Perhaps, one day, he’ll be a member of the “Mount Rushmore” at his position. He should worry more about that and more about who’s on it now. Because for Chase, that list includes Jerry Rice, Calvin Johnson, Antonio Brown and Cooper Kupp.
