That includes running back Christian McCaffrey, receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel and tight end George Kittle. Purdy was in the MVP discussion for most of…
The New York Yankees appeared to retaliate after watching two of their hitters get plunked, and the Baltimore Orioles announcers did not accept. Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres absorbed 94 mph fastballs with their hands Tuesday night, prompting speculation over whether the Yankees should retaliate on Wednesday. And in the seventh inning of Baltimore’s 7-6 win Wednesday night, the Yankees seemingly retaliated when reliever Victor Gonzalez plunked Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson on the shoulder.

Based on his own testimony, we were led to believe that Lakers star LeBron James was determined to play with his son and become the first father-son duo in NBA history. But now, according to LeBron’s agent Rich Paul, the King has scaled back those ambitions and will instead shift his priorities elsewhere. “If he does, he does,” said Paul on LeBron joining Bronny. “But there’s no deal that if LA drafts Bronny at 55, LBJ will re-sign. If that was the case, I’d force LA to take him at 17. The Lakers can draft Bronny, and LeBron may not…
For the third time in 2024, a Baltimore Orioles pitcher is shut down for the season and undergoing Tommy John surgery. Kyle Bradish is the latest, and arguably the most devastating loss.

San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle has been one of the league’s most underrated players for years. He doesn’t receive the same hype that Travis Kelce does for the Kansas City Chiefs, but what he brings to the field is just as impactful for his team. Despite being an underrated star, Kittle continues to dominate opposing defenses year in and year out. Kittle and his team are still feeling the pain of losing in the Super Bowl last season. They’re looking to get back to the big game and win it all this year. Right now, the 49ers…

It will be a bit before we see the Dallas Cowboys all together on the same football field in an organized manner (July 24th is the official report date for training camp) which means that we still have a bit of waiting to do. But NFL players are hardly content with being idle and do a lot of training on their own outside of the official activities that happen under team organization with coaches and staffers running things. Nowadays players have all sorts of ways that they train and even tend to do so together sometimes, including at various get-togethers…
