Kids broadcasts are all the rage these days and now the biggest game of the year, the Super Bowl, is going to be getting the Nickelodeon treatment.
CBS will broadcast Super Bowl LVII next February. But, if you’re looking to throw something on for the youngins, Nickelodeon is going to be the place to turn.
On Tuesday, the NFL and CBS Sports announced plans to put on the slimiest Super Bowl broadcast in history.

Brock Purdy passed one physical test on Monday, when a 49ers teammate went a little further than anyone would have liked.

Uncle Rico, is that you?
There was bound to be at least one hilarious meme-worthy moment from training camp, and this year it was Trey Lance.

The 49ers drafting Trey Lance put their franchise back 4-5 years. The #49ers would be legitimate Super Bowl contenders with Justin Fields under center.

In some late MLB trade deadline action, the Padres and Pirates agreed to a deal that will send veteran starting pitcher Rich Hill and first baseman Ji-Man Choi to San Diego, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
In exchange for the duo, Pittsburgh is set to receive a package of prospects headlined by left-handed pitcher Jackson Wolf, who ranks as the Padres’ No. 16 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Also joining the Pirates’ farm system will be Estuar Suero, a 17-year-old outfield prospect, and minor-league first baseman Alfonso Rivas, per MLB.com.

With the trade deadline looming, the Braves have taken steps to bolster one of the National League’s top pitching staffs.
Atlanta is acquiring pitcher Brad Hand from the Rockies in exchange for minor league pitcher Alec Barger, according to a Tuesday morning report from Robert Murray of FanSided.
Hand, 33, is 3–1 with a 4.54 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings of relief work this season.
The Minneapolis native has spent time with the Marlins, Padres, Guardians, Nationals, Mets, Phillies, Blue Jays and Colorado over the course of a 13-year big-league career.

This year’s edition of “Hard Knocks” on HBO features the New York Jets. Well, really it features Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets.
The show is set to premiere on HBO on August 8. One week away from that premiere, HBO released a short trailer of the upcoming season.
For the first three seconds, the HBO logo appears on screen. Over the next 40 seconds, the trailer includes footage from the show. Then, to complete the 50-second trailer, promos and logos fill out the final seven seconds.
During the 40 seconds of actual content, Aaron Rodgers appears 10 times. Yes, I counted.

The first episode of the new season of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” is a week away from being released, but early footage from the show’s inside look at the New York Jets has fans excited.
The show has released multiple sneak previews of footage captured of the team during training camp. One clip, featuring a motivational speech given at practice by Aaron Rodgers to the rest of the quarterbacks in the organization is going viral thanks to Rodgers’ thoughtful message.
“I’m just happy to be out here, excited to be with you guys,” Rodgers is shown saying.

Before WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg ever stepped into the ring, he spent five years in and out of the NFL as a defensive tackle. Now, more than three decades later, his son Gage is trying to follow in his shoes.
Gage Goldberg, a linebacker prospect in the college football recruiting Class of 2024, received an opportunity to play for the greatest dynasty of the modern era last week. Nick Saban and his staff offered him the chance to join the Alabama Crimson Tide as a Preferred Walk On.

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard says that offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett has players doing something unorthodox to remember plays: he has them making animal noises.
Sean Payton would never…
The Jets wideout revealed that Hackett has turned to the animal kingdom for inspiration on how to get his guys to remember the play.
“He gets a room of grown men to make animal noises,” Lazard said, per the Daily Mail. “It may not make too much sense, but it’s pertaining to the play.
“Whether it’s a name. Whether it’s a whale, a kangaroo, a pony, a shark.

Being a loser is easy. Being the biggest loser ever… much tougher.
It’s been a bad year for the Edmonton Elks. Heck, it’s been a bad many years for the Elks. A once proud, perennial playoff contender and 2015 Grey Cup champions, the team has plummeted to earth and now owns the one of the worst records in North American sporting history.
The Elks lost at home 27-0 to the BC Lions on Saturday night, taking their home losing streak to an astonishing 21 games.
