Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love isn't going to be perfect, especially compared to his predecessor, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was known for his uncanny ability to rarely throw interceptions — sometimes to the detriment of the offense's production.Love was drafted by the Packers and tabbed to be Rodgers' successor because of his athleticism as well as his "gunslinger" mentality. The Packers are hoping he'll be more Patrick Mahomes and less Brett Favre in that regard, but that doesn't mean Love won't throw picks and make errors.Love, unfortunately, made such a mistake in a recent OTA, though.

Just a few years ago, it seemed that NASCAR's fad of "road course ringers" — drivers from other racing disciplines who would cross over to race the tracks with both left- and right-hand turns — was dead. The days of Boris Said, Ron Fellows and Scott Pruett mixing it up with Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart were over, and no one was here to replace them.Ever since the series added an influx of road courses to the schedule in 2021, however, the ringer trend has seen a full revival. That has continued this year, with two major names from overseas...

It has been nine years since San Diego Padres infielder Manny Machado won a Gold Glove, but plays like the one he made Saturday afternoon are a big reason why he is a two-time winner of the award. With the Padres protecting a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning against the Colorado Rockies, pinch-hitter Mike Moustakas hit a pop-up foul ball down the left field line. Machado not only showed incredible range to run it down, but also managed to make a juggling catch after the bobbling the ball two times and falling to the ground. Have a look.
