Legendary Giants quarterback Phil Simms can’t envision Tom Brady calling games from the broadcasters booth.
Simms is almost in complete disbelief that Brady will call NFL games after watching him operate as a player for over two decades.

Rule changes for the 2023 MLB season have already made a dramatic difference.
The advent of the 20-second pitch clock has substantially cut down on game times. Banning over-shifting and increasing the size of the bases also seems to have worked as MLB intended.

With the NFL draft less than two weeks away, teams around the league are evaluating their current rosters before making decisions on incoming rookies. For the Bengals, that means taking a hard look at one of the team’s longest-tenured players.
Joe Mixon has two years remaining on his four-year, $48 million contract, yet he’s no guarantee to remain on the roster for long. That’s because the team is reportedly negotiating a pay cut for the veteran running back, according to The Athletic‘s Paul Dehner Jr. If he doesn’t accept taking less money, the team is likely to release him.

Draymond Green stepped over the line on Monday night when he literally stomped on his opponent’s chest in the fourth quarter.

Green, who’s notorious for being the Golden State Warriors’ goon, attacked Domantas Sabonis in the fourth quarter. Green drove his foot into the Kings big man’s chest after Sabonis grabbed his foot. Draymond was appropriately ejected from the game.

Browns defensive end Myles Garrett told reporters Tuesday that he will no longer participate in the NFL’s Pro Bowl Games in the future.
