Let’s get this out of the way first—the Packers are winners here. Aaron Rodgers, by his own words, was never playing for Green Bay again, with his stated plan to retire only usurped by his anger over the team’s maneuvering while he was considering his options.
In the end, they actually come out of this better than they would have, had Rodgers retired.

The Jets are banking on Rodgers doing for them what Tom Brady did for the Bucs after he switched teams: Change the losing culture and win a Super Bowl.

The Jets just went all in with their trade for Aaron Rodgers.

Alabama basketball has another problem on its hands, this time with Wichita State transfer Jaykwon Walton. According to a report, the highly-touted transfer was arrested Saturday night for marijuana possession. And that arrest cost Walton his spot on the Alabama roster.
Just last month, Walton committed to the Tide, but now Walton is facing a misdemeanor charge in Tuscaloosa. According to The Patch, Tuscaloosa police had received numerous calls about a large gathering that prompted officers to respond to the scene Saturday night.

The Packers are officially entering the Jordan Love era, as Green Bay finally agreed to a reported trade sending Aaron Rodgers to the Jets. Love, who is entering his fourth season, will take over as a starting quarterback for the first time in his career.

The New York Jets finally acquired Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers on Monday. Sports media is frantically writing and talking about what it means on the field. But it’s important to discuss what it means for fans, too.

Take the loss, go home, come back and win. Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray said to hell with that.
Murray took his frustrations out on an NBA ref after Sunday’s Game 4 loss, 129-121, against the Boston Celtics. Murray deliberately bumped into NBA referee Gediminas Petraitis, delivered a livid response and was escorted back to the Hawks’ locker room by team personnel.
It’s unclear what Murray said to the official or the opposing team’s bench as he stormed off the court. Based on his agitated demeanor, Murray’s words looked far from “PG.

Deion Sanders’ Colorado roster is going to look different come Week 1 against TCU than it does today. The first-year FBS head coach said so himself on multiple occasions during Saturday’s sold-out spring game.
Part of that overhaul is because the Buffaloes’ staff is going to continue to add talent through the transfer portal over the course of the next few weeks and months. Part of that overhaul is because the transfer portal is a two-way street.
No team in the country has seen more players enter the transfer portal during the 2023 offseason than Colorado.

When Deion Sanders showed up at Colorado back in December, he bluntly said a roster overhaul was coming. He wasn’t lying.

The Jets’ reported trade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers elicited a number of reactions from around the NFL on Monday, including an interesting soundbite from a key figure at the center of the negotiations.
