Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud believes he’s already a top three signal-caller, and I can’t blame him.
Rapper Gillie Da Kid posted a teaser of Stroud’s appearance on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, in which he listed the top five quarterbacks in the NFL based on their performance in 2023.
Most of the time, when athletes are asked to make these kinds of lists, they will put themselves way higher than they should (see Jayson Tatum). But this time, Stroud was an exception.

Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Witherspoon admits that Chennedy Carter’s rough hip-check on Caitlin Clark crossed a line.
With just seconds remaining in the third quarter of Saturday’s game between the Sky and the Indiana Fever, Carter drilled a jumper to cut Indiana’s lead to 4 points. Then, as the Fever were setting up to in-bound the ball, Carter appeared to call Clark a “bitch” then slammed into her — knocking the No. 1 overall pick to the ground.

Skill Based Matchmaking is one of the hottest topics in the gaming industry in 2024. Players are becoming more and more annoyed at its existence, while developers continue to deny that it is a feature. 
Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) is a feature that will match players against each other based on their skill. This means that lower skilled players won’t compete against professionals, with the idea being that this allows the lower skilled players to continue playing the game. However, if you’re of a high skill level, then every single match feels like a competitive game.

With Akuma’s release we brought the first chapter of Street Fighter 6 to a close. But that means that the cycle starts once more and we again speculate on which characters are coming to SF6. Season 1 was riddled with leaks and fans ended up prematurely knowing the first season of DLC fighters fairly early on. But now, we’re all in the dark. So here are some speculative ideas on who might be coming to SF6.
One of the most beloved (and feared) characters in the Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Makoto is due for an update.

Welcome to the NFL offseason, where receivers get paid lots of money (just ask Justin Jefferson, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jaylen Waddle and Nico Collins), the NFL continues to push for an 18-game season, the league and NFLPA discuss ways to ruin the offseason calendar and teams continue to go through their OTAs and mandatory minicamps. 
So we asked our MMQB staff to answer a series of eight questions over the next two weeks. They’ll debate the best and worst moves, the most and least improved teams, the best coaching move and more.

Novak Djokovic faced quite a difficult test during his fourth round match at the French Open on Monday.
The World No. 1 defeated No. 23 Francisco Cerúndolo after being down 2–1 sets in a five-set thriller, 6–1, 5–7, 3–6, 7–5, 6–3. The match lasted four hours and 39 minutes.
Djokovic was close to losing the match in the fourth set as Cerúndolo held a 4–2 lead. The 24-time Grand Slam champion came back to tie 4–4, then eventually won the set. This momentum propelled him to victory in the final set.

The WNBA is being watched and talked about this season like never before – as if it is a real league. It’s right up there with the other secondary, major professional leagues like the NHL, NBA and MLB behind the monster NFL. From 1997 through 2023, the WNBA wasn’t one of those. Few watched, and barely anyone talked about it.
On Sunday and Monday, national radio sports shows focused on Caitlin Clark, and the NBA and NHL are in the midst of their playoff finals.
