Former New York Jets quarterbacks Boomer Esiason and Ryan Fitzpatrick have A LOT to say about the franchise as well as the man at the helm, Aaron Rodgers.
In the last 36 hours alone, both quarterbacks have gone on television, radio or their Twitter accounts to rip their former team’s quarterback, Rodgers, as the team sits at 2-4 in the AFC East.
The biggest issue Esiason and Fitzpatrick have? 
Rodgers not taking accountability for his mistakes, as well as publicly shaming and blaming his teammates in front of reporters.

Well, it’s apparently Week 7 of the NFL season. How? When? Goodness, time flies when you’re having fun! 
I’m a miserable Dolphins fan, so I don’t know what that feels like, but it sure seems like a good time for some of you. Congrats. 
Look, this league is a mess for the most part. I’m just being honest. The refs SUCK. That’s No. 1 and a distant No. 1 at that. Seriously, it’s the worst I’ve ever seen. The product, at least in my opinion, is also down.

The Illinois Fighting Illini will rock some slick uniforms this weekend against Michigan.
Bret Bielema’s squad is a very impressive 5-1, ranked 22nd in the country and a spot in the College Football Playoff is still 100% on the table.
After years and years of being a cellar dweller and punching bag in the Big Ten, the Fighting Illini have finally become relevant and competitive.
Now, they’ll pay tribute to the school’s history Saturday.

Earlier this year, before the Cleveland Browns lost even one game, they were ready to trade Amari Cooper. 
The club was deep in trade talks with the San Francisco 49ers who were, at the time, trying to figure out what to do with Brandon Aiyuk if they couldn’t sign him to a contract extension. And while the clubs obviously didn’t close the deal, they had parameters of one in place that also included the Browns sending draft compensation to the 49ers.
Well, fast forward a couple of months and, sure enough, the Browns traded Cooper. They sent him to the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday.

Nick Sirianni had some… questionable behavior during last week’s Eagles game
We are halfway through October, a crazy thing to be true, and are starting to have a full and firm grasp on what is going on this NFL season.
The two undefeated teams we talked about last week were both on bye, but in their absence many other stepped up or rotted further into obscurity.

These are the most overrated and underrated NBA players based on ESPN’s new top-100 list.
Men used to build houses. Now they just rank NBA players on the internet.
ESPN dropped its list of the top-100 players in the NBA this week with the 2024-2025 season right around the corner. It’s important to note that the list is based off “predicted contributions” this season. Victor Wembanyama was certainly not the No.

Hurricane Helene delivered unfathomable damage across the Southeastern United States at the end of September. Augusta, Georgia, was one of the many towns that was directly hit, and the storm did not spare the home of the Masters.
Not long after the hurricane passed through the area, the Masters delivered a statement on social media explaining that “Our Augusta community has suffered catastrophic and historic impact from Hurricane Helene” and that staff was “assessing the effects at Augusta National Golf Club.

Sabrina Ionescu was already a star. Now, she’s responsible for one of the biggest shots in basketball history.
MINNEAPOLIS — Sabrina Ionescu can barely even remember taking The Shot. With the Liberty-Lynx Finals game tied at 77 — and the clock winding down — the New York Liberty guard crossed up Kayla McBride, squared up for a near-logo three-point, and sunk the improbable game-winner.

We make picks for all 15 NFL games with levels of confidence ahead of Week 7.
The NFL saw a rash of upsets through the first five weeks, but Week 6 finally say the chaos come under control. The two undefeated teams (Chiefs, Vikings) were on bye, but virtually every favorite won this weekend.
The closest thing we had to an upset saw the Colts beat the Titans in Nashville. That line moved quite a bit, with both teams favored at different points. However, aside from that, it was all chalk.
