The AFC North has a strong case for being the league’s toughest division with the Bengals, Ravens, Browns and Steelers fielding competitive rosters.
The Bengals appear to be the team to beat as back-to-back AFC North champions, but they will need their retooled offensive line to develop quick chemistry for this to finally be the year for Cincinnati to win it all.
The Ravens are also generating hype as contenders, and they, too, have a few new pieces that are vital for the team to have success in 2023.

Oklahoma coach Brent Venables woke up and decided criticizing Deion Sanders was a great idea.
Venables is entering year two as the head coach of the Sooners, and is hoping to rebound from his awful 6-7 first season with the program.
Apparently, improving in year two means taking shots at Deion Sanders for heavily using the transfer portal and turning over his roster right from the jump at Colorado. More than 70 players had left the program or given up football by the start of May as Sanders attempted to tear down Colorado to its studs and rebuild, according to CBS Sports.
These days, it seems like there’s nothing Shohei Ohtani can’t do (that is, except make the Angels win enough games to quiet trade rumors). So it should have come as no surprise that, when the two-way superstar strode to the plate on Monday night against the Yankees with two outs and a runner on first base and his team trailing by two runs in the seventh inning, Ohtani once again delivered.
The league leader in home runs crushed a ball over the center field wall for a dramatic, game-tying homer off of Michael King to even the score at 3–3.
Ryan Noda barely swiped the dirt after striking out on Monday night in Oakland, but it was enough to trigger the ejection.
Isaiah Mobley had 28 points and 11 rebounds to help the Cleveland Cavaliers capture the NBA 2K24 Summer League championship with a 99-78 victory on Monday over the Houston Rockets.
Most rain delays in baseball are boring affairs. The tarp comes out. The local meteorologist jabbers on the Jumbotron. Your regional sports network trots out a replay of somebody’s 15-strikeout outing from 2006.
Sometimes, however, a magical occurrence elevates a weather stoppage and garners the attention of the baseball world.
Such an event took place in rainy Cincinnati Monday evening, as the Queen City grappled with a downpour that eventually forced the Reds’ contest against the Giants to be suspended with one out in the top of the eighth inning.
The pitcher’s mound at PNC Park felt like Pluto to rapper Wiz Khalifa, who participated in Monday’s ceremonial first pitch, reportedly high on mushrooms.
Khalifa wanted to relish the moment, set before the Pittsburgh Pirates’ home game against the Cleveland Guardians.

On the heels of a historic women’s final victory at Wimbledon, 2023 champion Markéta Vondroušová has announced to the world one of the special ways she plans to commemorate winning her first major title.
BBC reported Monday that Vondroušová, the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon, and coach Jan Hernych intend to get matching strawberry tattoos–a nod to the tournament’s signature food. The decision comes after the 24-year-old revealed following Saturday’s final she planned to honor a pre-Wimbledon bet with Hernych, Vondroušová’s coach since 2018.
