There aren't a ton of plug-and-play starters on the open market at this point of the offseason. There are still a few, however, and they are highlighted by a former Denver Bronco who led the league in interceptions just two seasons ago.That player is two-time Pro Bowl safety Justin Simmons, the co-leader in interceptions (6) for the 2022 campaign.Why a player of Simmons' caliber is still available is unknown, but the team he began his career with as a third-round pick in 2016 doesn't even seem interested in bringing him back.According to Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post, the Broncos are...

The NFL announced its schedule for the 2024 regular season on Wednesday night. The schedule has several positives and negatives for teams to take away, but the Lions may be the biggest beneficiaries.Fourteen of Detroit's first 15 games will be played indoors. The only game the Lions will play outside during the stretch is in Week 9 when they go on the road to face the Packers in Green Bay.Two of Detroit's final three games are outdoors, but one is on the West Coast at San Francisco. So, theoretically, the only game the Lions could face extremely cold elements in...

Former Clemson running back Will Shipley was a first-team All-American in 2022, but at least one expert doesn’t think he belongs on your fantasy team.Shipley was a third-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 NFL Draft, essentially replacing Boston Scott who recently signed with the Los Angeles Rams. Shipley will see significantly less work as a rookie than veteran Saquon Barkley, which may not bode well for his fantasy value. As Fantasy Pros’ Mike Fanelli puts it, "Even if the superstar misses significant time, Shipley will split the backfield work with Kenneth Gainwell and lose all goal-line attempts to...

Angel Reese got her first WNBA win on Saturday, and she set a new league standard in the process.The former LSU Tiger had 11 points and nine rebounds, including seven offensive, in Chicago's 83-74 win over Dallas. Per Across The Timeline, her 12 offensive rebounds on the season are the most in a rookie's first two games in WNBA history. In fact, only three players regardless of experience (Cheryl Ford, Erika de Souza, Jonquel Jones) have had more offensive rebounds in the first two games of a season since the league began in 1997.One of her biggest rebounds came in fourth...

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

On Thursday, New York Mets owner Steve Cohen clarified that he isn't yet thinking about a second-straight summer fire sale despite the club's on-the-field struggles over the past week. Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns echoed Cohen's words ahead of New York's 6-5 extra-innings win at the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. "We’re not anywhere close to having discussions like that," Stearns said about the club's possible trade-deadline strategy, per Robert Sanchez of SNY. "We’re in mid-May. We’re focused every single day on trying to win baseball games. From a trade deadline strategy discussion, that’s something that we’ve got months to figure...

Twenty-two years ago, Robert Ray Courtney (Inmate Register #14636-045) was convicted of diluting chemotherapy drugs for more than 4,000 patients. It's been recently reported he will be released from prison this summer to a halfway house. Victims and families of victims are most likely disappointed and furious and understandably so.

Phoenix, AZ

The Phoenix Suns fell drastically short of expectations this season. They were swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening round of the playoffs. Part of Phoenix's problem is that its roster is incredibly imbalanced. Despite having three All-Star level scorers, the team doesn't have a point guard and has no legitimate depth on the bench.During his inaugural news conference, Phoenix's new head coach, Mike Budenholzer, admitted that the team's lack of a point guard could be a concern. He noted how the team may need to address the position during the summer.“There’s no doubt we need to look at...

Cats of Kansas City

If you've never heard that term before, "zoomies," A.K.A. "frenetic random action periods," is just when cats and dogs get excited and run around for no particular reason. In my house, zoomies are common after litter box visits, an excellent reason for celebration.

The contrasts were clear on Friday afternoon when the Pirates took on the Cubs.Kyle Hendricks took the ball for Chicago — a 34-year-old who had once been among the game's best pitchers. 21-year-old phenom Paul Skenes opposed him for Pittsburgh. Hendricks, who entered the day with a 10.04 ERA and a 1.923 WHIP over 26 innings, is trying to hang on. Skenes, widely considered the top pitching prospect in the game, is looking to establish himself.The final results also showed the difference. Hendricks allowed eight runs — seven earned — on 11 hits over 4.2 innings, striking out four. He...

Houston, TX

Astros rookie Joey Loperfido has started off his major league career red hot. In his first 11 games at the big league level, Loperfido has slashed .324/.378/.441/.819 with one home run and a stolen base. This early start looks promising, but his underlying numbers will soon bring his stats crashing down. Through his first 37 plate appearances, he is enjoying incredible luck on batted balls. His batting average on balls in play (BAbip) is an astronomically high .526 — meaning more than half of the balls he's put into play have fallen in for hits. The league average historically is around .300....
