Henderson/Getty Images)   New York Yankees center fielder Aaron Judge has been on an absolute tear since the beginning of May and now leads all of MLB with 21 home runs and has his team sitting pretty at 41-19 atop the American League. The 14 homers he hit in May marked the third consecutive month Judge hit at least a dozen homers in May, and this hot streak has put him within shouting distance of an impressive major league record that he now seems like a lock to break sometime this season. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale shared a stat on X that said Judge is at 278 caree ..read more

Not only do they have the best player in the game but they’re also the back-to-back defending champions. Of course, that always pumps the fans up, and Arrowhead Stadium has a reputation for being one of the loudest — if not the loudest — venues in all of professional football. Ironically, however, that’s actually one of Derek Carr’s favorite places to play. Talking to Chris Long on his podcast, Carr claimed that now that he was no longer playing for t ..read more

In some cases, it goes too far, and that’s what happened to the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles this offseason as their respective free agency signings of quarterback Kirk Cousins and running back Saquon Barkley prompted the league to look into their actions, and according to a recent report, fan ..read more

(Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)   The New York Jets found one of the best cornerbacks in the game in Sauce Gardner. But besides his great play on the field, those who have been around him have also been in awe of his maturity and demeanor off the field. That’s why even though he’s already set for life with the rookie contract he signed two years ago, he’s still a man of the people and hasn’t forgotten where he came from. With that in mind, he took to Twitter to complain about inflation and how all prices have gone up, citing gas, groceries, and even Arizonas as the things he remember ..read more

Arthur Smith didn’t find much success as a head coach, but he’s still one of the most respected offensive coordinators in the game. He’ll have plenty to prove and some interesting weapons to work with in Pittsburgh, and he’ll get to be very creative. At least, that’s how ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler feels. Talking on SportsCenter, Fowler revealed that the Steelers could deploy certain packages involving Justin Fields, particularly close to the goal line. Apparently, they could have Fields sub in fo ..read more

(Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images)   The Minnesota Vikings are ready to start a new era. With Kirk Cousins no longer on the premises, they had to pivot and look for a new quarterback, and it didn’t take long before they agreed to terms with Sam Darnold. Needless to say, no one was completely sold on Darnold being the guy to lead them into the next era, but he was a solid stopgap at the most crucial position. That’s why they went after Michigan star J.J. McCarthy in the NFL Draft, and while there were some solid reviews early in training camp and some thought he could even have a shot ..read more

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   The Chicago Bears have a new star quarterback. Caleb Williams has taken the city by storm, and even though he hasn’t even played an NFL game, Chicago has embraced him right back. With that in mind, the Chicago Cubs made sure to jump on top of the wave and welcomed him for a quick visit, which included him getting some swings in the batting cage. Well, it’s safe to say that he should stick to football, as he’s clearly not made for The Big Show. Williams’ swing wasn’t particularly great, but he was having a good time (via Cubs Zone). Caleb Williams ..read more

(Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images)   The Seattle Seahawks have a new head coach and a new backup quarterback. Pete Carroll walked away and Drew Lock signed with the New York Giants, leading them to trade for Sam Howell. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean Geno Smith’s job is in jeopardy, or at least it shouldn’t be. Even so, the UNC product will compete as hard as ever. Recently, Howell shared his mindset and approach to being Smith’s backup, and while he acknowledged that the veteran quarterback has been great to him, he claimed to be a competitor first and foremost, so that’s not going to ..read more

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   The Detroit Lions are way more than a football team right now. They’re a family. Not so long ago, the Lions were one of the bottom-feeding teams in the league, the laughing stock in their own division, and a franchise that was completely out of sorts. Fast forward to today, and they’re one of the best teams in the NFC. And while it takes plenty of work and more than one man to do so, HC Dan Campbell deserves most of the credit for this turnaround. Campbell’s impact goes way beyond his decision-making on the field or practice; he actually made the p ..read more

(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   The New York Jets have one of the best defensive backs in the game, and it didn’t take long before he showed it. Sauce Gardner ran away with NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, and he was one of the best cornerbacks right out of the gate. However, just like all elite athletes, he’s actually a man of many talents. He showed that on Twitter by sharing a clip of himself in the bowling alley, and he actually held his ground pretty well. Following a couple of head-scratching misses, the former Bearcat showcased his spinning skills, getting three strik ..read more
