Gleaton Jones, a former walk-on running back for the Georgia Bulldogs, is in critical condition following a car accident on Dec. 10 while on a hunting trip on St. George Island in Florida. The 19-year-old sustained a severe brain injury and underwent emergency surgery to relieve swelling. He remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit. Jones joined the Georgia football program in 2021 after an impressive high school career at Deerfield-Windsor School in Albany, where he earned All-State, All-Region and All-Albany honors. As a freshman walk-on, Jones was part of the Bulldogs’ historic 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship team.…
The Las Vegas Raiders are in a privileged position right now. As things stand now, they will likely get either the No. 1 or No. 2 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. They have several issues to address on their roster, but getting to pick first overall gives them a chance to solve the most glaring one: The quarterback position. Notably, it seems like that’s exactly what they will do. In a recent interview with The Athletic, team owner Mark Davis hinted at getting a signal-caller: “You’re always looking for a quarterback,” Davis said. “There’s no question about it.” He…
Former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy is not a fan of Tony Vitello. McElroy, the co-host of Birmingham radio show “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning”, ripped Vitello after Tennessee baseball won its first ever National Championship on Monday night. His antics after the game last night were embarrassing,” McElroy said. “Seriously. Have some class. You just won a National Championship. Have some class. WWE, with all due respect, not class. Just not.” What exactly were Vitello’s antics? He said “holy shit” during his ESPN interview and he and one of his players did the “suck it” sign at one another.…

Football season is in full swing, but the folks at ESPN are asking the “tough” questions as we gear up for the start of basketball season next month. Staff writer Jeff Borzello released his “Way-Too-Early” Top 25 rankings on Monday, which included Kentucky at No. 23. There were no adjustments from his previous update that came out in August though — instead, Borzello uses his preseason Top 25 as an excuse to ask the biggest question facing every team on his list going into the 2024-25 season. What is the potential issue facing the Wildcats? To little surprise, it has…
The New York Mets may be offseason winners so far, but they lost out on a potential key addition on Wednesday. Garrett Crochet, the former Chicago White Sox ace who was the most coveted prize on this winter’s trade market, was dealt to the Boston Red Sox for a package of four top prospects. Crochet was a name on top of the Mets’ wish list, but Boston carried the day. Under president of baseball operations David Stearns, the Mets have thus far been reticent to hand out long-term starting pitcher contracts, and that trend has held in this free-agent window.…
The Phoenix Suns are stuttering through the 2024-25 regular season, although they may be about to get a boost with the trade market heating up. Not that they will have it all their own way – not only is this a second apron team – but some players have unique quirks to their contracts that makes them a lot harder to move. That’s not to say they won’t be players at all, there are still ways they can improve this roster. But with their chances this season seeming to hang purely on the health of Kevin Durant – this stat…

Over the past week, the Oklahoma Sooners have already lost a fair number of players to the transfer portal. This has caused some mild anguish, with some promising players and veterans departing for other schools. Where some see , others see opportunity. One of those others was linebacker Jaren Kanak, who seized the opportunity to strike with a hilarious troll post about the transfer portal. Kanak, a former four-star recruit and a valued piece of Brent Venables’ first recruiting class with the Sooners, would have been another blow to a linebacking room that had already lost Dasan McCullough to…
No, the Las Vegas Raiders don’t have Colorado star quarterback Shedeur Sanders yet, but all signs continue to point to that eventually happening in the 2025 NFL Draft. Not only do the Raiders have the No. 1 overall pick entering Week 15 according to Tankathon, Sanders has strongly hinted that he’d like to be in the Silver and Black come April. With the hope that Sanders will be a Raider, FanSided’s Rucker Haringey suggested players Las Vegas should target in free agency to surround the young quarterback with help. One of the players he landed on was Minnesota Vikings running…
