Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson wanted to purchase the Oakland Athletics nearly 20 years ago, but he says then-MLB commissioner Bud Selig got in the way. Appearing on the "Howard Stern Show" on Wednesday, Jackson revealed his plans to buy the A's alongside a group of investors, including the founders of Microsoft, Bill Gates and Paul Allen. However, despite having more than enough funding and offering $25 million more than the highest bid for the A's, Jackson says he "absolutely believes" Selig blocked his attempt.

MLB’s Rule 5 draft is often hard to evaluate. Teams are knowingly taking a gamble when they select a player considering they’ll need to be kept on the active major league roster the entire season for a team to retain control. In December, the Boston Red Sox lost a trio of minor league pitchers in the Rule 5 draft but it appears at least one of them could be nearing a return to the organization.

New Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan has certainly made his presence known so far this offseason. The Steelers have been very busy during the free-agency period, signing new players and letting current ones move on. This is especially true at the cornerback position. It was no secret that corner was going to be an area they needed to target. Cam Sutton moved on from the Steelers, heading to the Detroit Lions, but Pittsburgh picked up veteran and future Hall of Famer Patrick Peterson from the Minnesota Vikings.

When the news of former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster signing with the New England Patriots broke, there were questions by fans of both organizations about whether or not he would be fit for the rigid structure that comes along with playing for Patriots' Head Coach, Bill Belichick. Smith-Schuster is widely known across the NFL as one of the most flamboyant players in the entire league. One person who could answer this question better than most is his former quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger.

Former New York Jets quarterback and current "The NFL Today" analyst Boomer Esiason believes Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers won't wear his No. 12 jersey with Gang Green. Jets legend Joe Namath generated headlines when he said in January that he'd let the organization un-retire his famous No. 12 so that Rodgers could continue wearing the only number he's rocked throughout his NFL career that began during the 2005 NFL Draft.

A former Chicago Bears DT is coming back to the NFL. A former Chicago Bears defensive tackle announced their intention to retire last offseason, but they plan to make a comeback in 2023. The Bears released defensive tackle Eddie Goldman last March. Goldman found employment with the Atlanta Falcons on July 6th before the team’s training camp.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have decided to keep a depth piece at cornerback in James Pierre. It's only a one-year deal and Pierre's spot on the 53-man roster is likely up for grabs, especially with the signing of Patrick Peterson along with the high likelihood that the Steelers draft a cornerback on day one or two of the 2023 draft. Either way, for now, Pierre is back with the team and should be solid depth signing while also contributing on special teams.
