There’s an adage in sports that makes the point that anyone talking about retirement before they’ve left the game has basically already retired in their mind. Well, perhaps the opposite is true with Tom Brady.
Brady just turned 47-years-old. He retired after the 2022 NFL season. He has not played a game since Jan. 16, 2023.
But despite missing all of last season, not being in any offseason program or training camp this year, and preparing for a new job as a game analyst for FOX’s top game of the week, Brady still sometimes ponders playing again.
Coming out of retirement.

With an expanded College Football Playoff and fewer power conferences, this college football season promises to be unlike any other.

It’s the dawn of a new era in college football.

Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to become the new United States coach with the responsibility of leading the team into the 2026 World Cup, a source has told ESPN.

This is not a drill, Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly agreed to become the next manager of the U.S. men’s national team and lead the American squad into the 2026 World Cup. 
For the USMNT to go from Gregg Berhalter, who took over as manager in 2018 after mediocre stints in the Swedish League and MLS, to Pochettino, who has years of experience managing Premier League clubs, took Tottenham to the Champions League final in 2019, and won a league title with Paris Saint-Germain, is nothing short of stunning.
The USMNT just traded in a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo without an engine for a Ferrari.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge made some MLB history on Wednesday night
With Juan Soto on a tear, Chicago White Sox interim manager Grady Sizemore decided to intentionally walk Soto on Wednesday night, bringing Aaron Judge to the plate with two runners on in a 6-2 game.
Judge promptly homered, breaking the game open and making some MLB history in the process.
After waiting out the first three pitches from Chad Kuhl, all of which were out of the zone, Judge jumped on a sinker up and in, depositing it in the Chicago bullpen in left field.

We may be a full four years out from the 2028 Olympics, but the city of Los Angeles has already begun preparation for the Summer Games taking over the city, and is doing so in typical LA fashion: by spending absurd amounts of money on things that do not matter.
Hosting the Olympics is disgustingly expensive – the 2014 Olympics in Japan reportedly cost $59 billion – so one would imagine that organizers would try to cut costs when situations to do such a thing arise. Los Angeles has very clearly said ‘no thanks’ to that idea.

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Albert Huggins kicked off some fireworks during a Wednesday joint practice with the Rams.
Joint practices in the NFL always seem to cause issues, and this August hasn’t been any different. There has been a steady stream of fights and words being exchanged.
However, the issues usually stay between guys on the field. Huggins decided to target a Rams staffer, and it resulted in plenty of f-bombs flying.
Huggins was going through a drill against a Rams offensive lineman when he decided to shove a young Los Angeles staffer for seemingly no reason at all.
