This past week, The Athletic reported that Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo underwent surgery on his injured left foot after signing with the team in March. It appears as though the team knew about the foot issue before agreeing to sign the quarterback and addressed the situation in his contract.
The clause regarding the injury was necessary because Garoppolo did not pass his physical exam. Additionally, by signing the contract, Garoppolo agreed that he understands he is at a higher risk of increased injury to his left foot.

The Sanders family reunion is taking place in Boulder, Colorado this year, it seems. Pro and College Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders took the head coaching position at the University of Colorado following a successful stint at Jackson State. After bringing his son and star quarterback, Shedeur, to Boulder, one of his other sons, Shilo, is set to become a member of the Buffaloes football program, as well.
Shilo, a defensive back like his father, started his career at South Carolina. He left after two seasons to join his dad and brother at Jackson State.
Former 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s fresh start with the Las Vegas Raiders isn’t going as planned.
The Heat are one loss away from a historic choke job, but Jimmy Butler is keen on making sure his team is on the right side of history. After his team’s brutal Game 6 loss Saturday night, he made a bold prediction for the pivotal Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night against the Celtics in Boston.
“I’m not gon’ let anybody quit. I’m not gonna let our guys quit,” Butler said after Miami’s 104–103 loss Saturday night. “I don’t give a damn what happens—we gon’ go in there [TD Garden], and we’re gonna win.

Watch the new Jets QB take in Taylor Swift at MetLife
Taylor Swift continues to work through the nation on her The Eras tour.
And more than one starting QB in the NFL has gone to see her live.
Earlier this month it was New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who made his way to Gillette Stadium to see Swift when she was in Foxborough for three nights. The next QB to see her live in concert? None other than Jones’s new competition in the AFC East, Aaron Rodgers.
Which team wins the all-important possession battle?
Part of what buoyed the Heat in the first three games of the series was their ability to create more scoring opportunities than Boston. Miami turned the ball over three, five and six fewer times than the Celtics in Games 1, 2 and 3, respectively. And even in Game 3, where Boston got up 17 more shot attempts, the Heat made it count by sinking 19 triples to the Celtics’ 11. (The story was similar in Saturday’s Game 6: Miami had 14 threes, whereas Boston had just seven.
USC quarterback Caleb Williams has to navigate a ton of hype entering the 2023 season. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner is projected by many to become the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, and he is considered by some to be one of the best prospects in NFL history.
With that in mind, some observers wonder whether and NFL teams might decide to tank and improve their chance of drafting Williams. When asked about the possibility of teams possibly trying to lose on purpose to acquire his rights, Williams deftly sidestepped the controversial topic.
The Formula 2 Monaco Grand Prix nearly resulted in tragedy Sunday when driver Victor Martins almost ran over a race marshal.
The incident occurred when Jack Doohan’s car caught fire after 22 laps. Several marshals went out on track to help put out the flames.
A double yellow flag was waved, but Martins didn’t slow down. He zoomed around the wreckage — narrowly missing one marshal by just inches.

The Monaco Grand Prix has a reputation for being a bit of a snooze fest. This is unless neither nature comes in and helps out a little bit.
That’s what happened this year, as some rain late in the race led to a frenzy of pit stops, tire gambles and cars in the finding barriers.
However, it was going to take a lot more than a drizzle to keep Red Bull’s Max Verstappen from winning his second Monaco Grand Prix. The Dutchmen led the race from lights to flag, even if at times it looked like Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso was in striking distance of a shock victory.
The Celtics needed every split second of Game 6 to come out victorious against the Heat, as Derrick White hit a buzzer-beating putback with 0.1 seconds left.
But observers on social media noticed that it appears as if officials gave Boston too much time with a pivotal clock reset.
With Boston leading 102-100 in the final seconds, Al Horford fouled Jimmy Butler in the act of shooting beyond the three-point line, giving Miami a chance to take the lead. The referees reviewed the play to see where Butler’s feet were relative to the arc and to make sure they set the clock correctly.
