2021 second-round draft pick Kyle Trask may have already lost a supposed quarterback competition to free-agency signing Baker Mayfield before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers even open summer training camp sessions. According to the Joe Bucs Fan website, retired quarterback, brother of New Orleans Saints' Derek Carr and current NFL Network personality David Carr suggested during an on-air segment that Mayfield began the first full week of June as the leader in the clubhouse to start over Trask when Tampa Bay opens the regular season at the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 10. "...Kyle Trask is going to have to do something extraordinary" to...

Running back Ezekiel Elliott, who spent the first seven years of his professional career with the Dallas Cowboys before being released in mid-March, remains unsigned nearly three months into free agency. While a market for the three-time Pro Bowler hasn't materialized to this point, Elliott doesn't appear too desperate to ink a deal anytime soon.

Taylor Swift confuses young fan by inviting her up on stage from the audience then reversing this as she realized there was no safe way to get the child back off the stage. In a recent concert stop in Chicago on her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift found herself in a heartwarming yet challenging situation during her performance. While Swift is known for her fan engagement and surprise on-stage moments, this particular encounter took an unexpected turn. As she performed her hit song "22," Swift spotted a young fan and attempted to involve her in the show, only to realize there was no safe way to get the child back off the stage.

The Aurora City Council will consider during a study session Monday restricting RVs to parking only 24 hours on a public-street in a seven-day period. “Currently Aurora allows a recreational vehicle to park on a public right-of-way for up to five days,” according to a memo from the City Attorney’s Office to the council. “This ordinance reduces the five days to twenty-four hours during any seven day period to be as strict as Denver’s ordinances.” RVs and campers in violation of the ordinance will be towed and impounded.

The Clemson Tigers are cooking with gas at the inside linebacker position thanks to their latest 2024 commitment.Sammy Brown, a five-star linebacker from Jefferson, Georgia, is a big-time recruit. He's an elite high school linebacker in every sense of the word. In fact, 247Sports considers him the highest-ranked linebacker recruit in the network's history of recruiting rankings which goes all the way back to 1999.That's a big deal, and Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was apparently so excited that he took to the table tops after Brown told him that he was committing to the Tigers.“So I had a meeting...

NBC Sports NFL analyst Chris Simms wasn’t the biggest believer in Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence last season.That’s no longer the case after Simms bumped the 23-year-old quarterback up to the No. 6 spot in his annual quarterback rankings, an 18-spot jump from where he had Lawrence ranked last season."You turn on Trevor Lawrence and go, 'Whoa, holy cow. (Aaron) Rodgers' arm is strong but it ain't as strong as Trevor Lawrence's anymore,'" Simms said. "Trevor Lawrence's arm went to another level this year. I mean the control of his fastball, that's where it went to another level. He's great...

The San Francisco 49ers continue to receive positive updates on quarterback Brock Purdy."He's right on pace," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters about Purdy's recovery following Tuesday's practice, via Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. "I think he throws three times a week. I do not sit and watch those. It’s part of his process of getting back and he’s continuing right on the track he’s always been on — no setbacks and it’s been very good so far."Purdy suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow during the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 29 but didn't have surgery...

It looks like the Las Vegas Raiders won't need to convince Tom Brady to reconsider his retirement, after all. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport (h/t Nick Shook) reported Tuesday afternoon during an on-air segment that new Raiders starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo "is expected to be ready long before the start of training camp." Garoppolo put pen to paper on a three-year contract that reportedly could be worth up to $72.5M with $33.75M guaranteed at signing early into the offseason, but it was recently learned the 31-year-old underwent surgery in March to address an issue with the foot he injured while with the San...

The Los Angeles Dodgers are making some adjustments to the outfield wall at Dodger Stadium following Aaron Judge's injury this weekend. Judge injured his toe when he made a leaping catch at the right field wall that saw him crash through the fencing and jam his toe on the concrete below. Among the changes the Dodgers will be making are reinforcing the chain-link fence that Judge crashed through, as well as adding padding to the concrete below, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.It was originally believed that Judge had crashed through a door that had simply opened, but that was not...

The Missouri Tigers landed themselves a more than notable hoops commitment over the weekend in the person of 7-foot-3 center Connor Vanover.He's a big man and he's experienced, which are two traits that certainly play in college basketball. A Little Rock, Arkansas native, Vanover played for the Arkansas Razorbacks in 2020-21 and 2021-23, averaging 5.1 points and 3.3 rebounds in just 12.1 minutes per game. Playing time was obviously a concern and it undoubtedly played into his transfer to Oral Roberts last season, where he averaged 12.7 points and 7.2 in an extended role with 25.8 minutes per game.Now heading to...

The best stat to determine a player's worth is WAR--wins above replacement--an analytical metric that was not available until relatively recently. The formula for WAR differs for position players and pitchers, and I'll lay it out in layman's terms. WAR uses every aspect of the game-- batting, baserunning, and fielding, factors in position and ballpark and determines how many wins better than a league average player an individual player might be. Using WAR to help us rank them, let's look at the top 24 players in the history of the Oakland Athletics franchise.Eddie Plank 1901-1914 (77.2 WAR) (1 of 24)Leading...

Remarkably, former No. 1 overall pick Royce Lewis is okay after a frightening collision at first base Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians. Batting in the designated hitter spot for the Minnesota Twins, Lewis collided with Guardians' first baseman Gabriel Arias while running out a ground ball. The impact sent Lewis tumbling over Arias before he landed awkwardly on his head and neck.
