There may be a real-life time traveler among us, folks, and one who happens to be a baseball fan.
After the New York Yankees were able to stave off being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, a post on X, formerly Twitter, from a person under the name Yahiko went viral.
The post from Yahiko was a simple one, stating that the Yankees would beat the Dodgers in Game 4 of the 2024 World Series in a blowout. New York accomplished that with an 11-4 win.
No big deal, right? Wrong, because when you check the timestamp of the post, it makes absolutely zero sense.

Which tight ends will shine in Week 9 for your fantasy football teams? We’ll take a look at all of them in our PPR rankings.
Welcome to Week 9 or as we like to call it around here, The Week Following Tight Ends Day! And what a glorious Tight Ends Day it was. In whole, tight ends scored 17 touchdowns. It took them four weeks from the start of the season to hit that number! Of course, back then there were healthy wide receivers quarterbacks could target. Those days are done unfortunately. If you are a wide receiver, may God have mercy on your soul.

Which wide receivers will shine in Week 9 for your fantasy football teams? We’ll take a look at all of them in our PPR rankings.
Welcome to Week 9, or as I like to call it, another week we could lose multiple fantasy wide receivers to injury! The latest to suffer season ending injuries are Stefon Diggs and Christian Kirk and last week was light on receiver injuries! But we persist.
At the halfway point(ish) of the season, Ja’Marr Chase leads all wide receivers in PPR points, while Nico Collins leads in points per game.

Which running backs will shine in Week 9 for your fantasy football teams? We’ll take a look at all of them in our PPR rankings.
Welcome to Week 9 of the fantasy football season. We’re around halfway through the NFL season but with byes and an uneven 17 game schedule, there is no halfway point. The NFL always is out to ruin my fun! Anyway, your top PPR running back through eight games is none other than Derrick Henry. The fact he is first in PPR scoring and only has eight receptions is pretty amazing.

Which quarterbacks will shine in Week 9 for your fantasy football teams? We’ll take a look at all of them in our PPR rankings.
Welcome to Week 9 of the NFL season. Now that we’re at the halfway point of the season it’s always fun to extrapolate full season numbers. The best quarterback in fantasy and real life has been Lamar Jackson, who just lost to the Browns, but still played well as usual. So far he is on pace for 4,460 yards passing, 36 touchdown passes, four interceptions, 172 carries for 1,064 yards and four touchdowns.

Kate Magdziuk shares her Week 9 wide receiver rankings for standard scoring leagues and highlights several streaming options.
There are just two teams on a bye in Week 9, including the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers, which means most fantasy wide receivers will be available for our rosters this week … you know, aside from the way-too-many players who have incurred season-ending injuries in the past several weeks.

Nobody plays the marketing game better than Dale Earnhardt Jr. Guy was a great racer, don’t get me wrong, but what he did off the track was far more beneficial to his bank account back in the day. 
Sure, having that last name didn’t hurt, but don’t get it twisted: Junior wheeled and dealed (dealt?) with the best of ’em. Budweiser? Mountain Dew? Amp? 
Remember the Amp 88 car? What a machine.
Anyway, his most iconic ride was obviously the red, No. 8 Budweiser Chevy. I’d argue it’s in the top-four of the most recognizable cars in NASCAR history.

New York Yankee fans are a unique bunch, and they were certainly feeling themselves on Tuesday night as their Bronx Bombers were trying to stave off being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.
The first, let’s say, highly questionable moment from Yankee supporters, came during the bottom of the first inning in Game 4 with New York already trailing 2-0. Yankee lead-off man Gleyber Torres hit a pop-up down the right-field line, but with Los Angeles right fielder Mookie Betts in a position to make a play on the ball.

Some words simply hit differently depending on the source, so when Floyd Mayweather, arguably the greatest prizefighter of all time, is calling a group of men “brave warriors,” the impact is obviously different.
Even if the men in the group are in wheelchairs. Or missing limbs. Or trying to overcome trauma and stress.
That’s how it’s been this week for Floyd while in Israel during a tour to support the Jewish State in its current war against terrorist Iranian proxies in Gaza and Lebanon.

New York finally broke through in the World Series, and the Yankees are hoping that 1 win turns into a 4-game streak that ends with them as champions.
