For an incredible 54 seasons, Uecker, a Milwaukee native, brought an unmatched personality to the game of baseball.

Maverick Carter, LeBron James’ business manager, has been enlisted as an adviser by a group of investors seeking to raise $5 billion to form an international basketball league that would serve as a rival to the NBA, sources confirmed to ESPN.

ESPN drew widespread criticism earlier this month for not carrying the national anthem ahead of the Sugar Bowl, which was postponed a day following a deadly terrorist attack on the game’s host city of New Orleans. 
The network also ignored the pre-game moment of silence for the terror victims and the subsequent chants of “U-S-A.”

Rodgers is already a Super Bowl champ, a four-time MVP with the Green Bay Packers and a future Hall of Famer. But it’s no secret that the past two seasons with the New York Jets have been less than tremendous. He missed all but four snaps of the 2023 season (thanks to a torn Achilles) and managed to scrounge together only five wins for the Jets this past season.
