Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson possesses phenomenal upside, yet he's still raw and might not be ready to start Week 1.During an interview with James Boyd of The Athletic, Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay compared Richardson's athleticism to a "superhero" but explained he must refine his game to grow into a viable NFL starter."No quarterback has brought those skills to the table, the athletic testing," Irsay said. "Anthony and I have talked a long time about that, but we really talked more about being a great quarterback and what that really means in this league because we're not drafting Olympic athletes....

Here are the Cincinnati Bengals whose stock is trending up — and down.Stock UpCam Taylor-Britt, cornerback: The Bengals threw Taylor-Britt into the action as a rookie following CB Chidobe Awuzie's injury in 2022.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown find themselves in the upper-tier of NBA star duos. But following a disappointing exit from the 2023 NBA Playoffs with a Game 7 loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, the attention now shifts to the contract situation looming for Brown.With Tatum and Brown leading the way and the Celtics' impressive roster in recent years, many expected the team to bring another title back to Boston. Unfortunately, the title "drought" which goes back to the 2007-08 season, will extend for at least one more year, marking arguably the most disappointing result of...

Well, we finally have the teams set for the NBA Finals. Boston made us wait, but in the end the Heat were undeniable after getting up 3-0 in the series. On the other side, we have a Denver team that actually could complete a sweep, and is as rested as could be. For better or worse. Game 1 is not until Thursday night and until then we are going to hear a lot about how the TV ratings are going to suck and about playing at altitude.

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has received praise from the national media for his personnel decisions during the offseason. The Lions fan base has reasons to be confident the team will improve in 2023 and possibly even win a division title for the first time since 1993. However, there are reasons for pessimism, too. Here are three: No backup QB with experience If 2022 Pro Bowl QB Jared Goff suffers a serious injury and misses time, Detroit must turn to an unproven backup. No. 2 QB Nat Sudfeld has 37 passing attempts in seven years in the league. Two rookies make up...

As Title 42 ended on May 11, Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent a busload of migrants to Philadelphia. He last sent buses to the city in November. Even as President Joe Biden implemented several immigration policies, migrants are still crossing the southern border, legally and illegally. Now that Title 42 is officially over, it is likely Texas will continue busing migrants to Philadelphia and other sanctuary cities.
