data-mm-id=”_bzcyzirrl”>Just under a year after they exchanged a first-round pick for Jalen Ramsey's services, the Los Angeles Rams locked down a defensive cornerstone by giving Ramsey an absolutely massive extension. Worth $105 million with $71 million in guarantees, Ramsey completely reset the cornerback market with an unprecedented deal and the Rams do not need to fear they gave up substantial draft capital for a player who leaves immediately afterwards. However, it also means the Rams are in cap purgatory for a while. I don't say cap hell, because that implies there's no means of escape. After the Kansas City Chiefs gave Patrick Mahomes a preposterous contract extension and still managed to re-sign Chris Jones to a big deal despite having three-digit cap space prior …
data-mm-id=”_onu6ni2f7″>Dak Prescott broke and dislocated his right ankle during the Cowboys game against the Giants last week and is out for the season. The injury came on a designed quarterback draw. Prescott took the snap out of the shotgun, ran up the middle, veered left and tried to stiff-arm Giants cornerback Logan Ryan before being pulled to the ground at the expense of his ankle.

They often design plays for Prescott to run. Most often, it happens around the goal line (Prescott has 24 rushing touchdowns in his career, including three this year), but the Cowboys wi…
data-mm-id=”_lbebs6mfb”>The Boston Celtics have been hampered by a slew of injuries and positive COVID tests to start the 2020-21 season. Their best starting five have played less than a handful of games together. The team just finished up a West Coast road trip with a loss to the Utah Jazz, going 2-3 in the five games played on the opposite coast. Sitting at 12-11, the season is far from over, but Boston has some things to work out before anyone can start talking about a repeat run to the Eastern Conference Finals. One of those things is Kemba Walker. Walker missed the first chunk of the season to rehab a knee injury that's been bothering him since the latter half of the 2019-20 season. He battled through the pain to give the Celtics a much-needed boost at times during their play…

One never knows what they're going to get when they get all gussied up, pick some fish or chicken, and sizes up the technician as they set up their equipment.

data-mm-id=”_of9917kmi”>The Dallas Cowboys are entering the 2023 NFL season with a ton of expectations weighing on them. They certainly didn't need to face stress early in training camp. But, this being the Cowboys, of course they have. They're now down to one kicker on the roster and he's never played an NFL game. On Monday, the Cowboys released Tristan Vizcaino, leaving rookie Brandon Aubrey as the only kicker on the roster. Aubrey has an interesting background. He was a third-team All-American at Notre Dame … as a soccer player. He was a first-round pick by Toronto in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft, but was released after one season. He played for Bethlehem Steel FC in 2018 before being released, after which he decided to switch to football. Aubrey played for the Birmingha…
data-mm-id=”_b78oqu1vd”>Jimmy Butler had a relatively quiet season last year by his standards, but he reminded the NBA world why he deserved the Playoff Jimmy moniker once the postseason started. He led the Miami Heat to a massive upset over the Milwaukee Bucks, toppling the top-seeded team in the East as an eight-seed. Butler then helped the Heat defeat the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics en route to his second NBA Finals appearance in four years. Miami came up short as the Denver Nuggets won the title in five games but their Finals run as the eighth seed that had to battle through the Play-In Tournament to even qualify for the postseason will live on in basketball history. It also makes this season a big one for Butler and the rest of the Heat. Despite all the rumors, Miami did no…
data-mm-id=”_g27oh22vb”>Michigan earned a spot in the College Football Playoff National Championship by besting Alabama 27-20 in overtime at the Rose Bowl on Monday. The Wolverines have been hit by a massive scandal this season for sign-stealing and the man at the center of that scandal was apparently in attendance for their biggest triumph. Yes, Connor Stalions, who was the point man for stealing other teams signs, was in the stands at the Rose Bowl. Former NFL linebacker and Michigan All-American Chase Winovich was sitting with Stalions and posted an Instagram story that included him. Here's a screenshot of the video:The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach has confirmed that the man in the photo is Stalions. I can confirm that Connor Stalions was indeed at the Rose Bowl, per multipl…
data-mm-id=”_k082qhl8p”>Sunday evening's postseason rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills was highly anticipated by both the hardcore sports fans and casual fans alike. One does not need to watch First Take to understand the major players and what was at stake. Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen with a trip to the AFC Championship on the line is simple and intriguing, and these teams have a track record of playing competitive, close games. This year had an extra Taylor Swift element, too. People were always going to watch in large quantities. Then Mahomes and Allen delivered another incredible game that came down to the wire and ended in heartbreak for Buffalo (again). All that drove absolutely massive viewership numbers. CBS announced on Tuesday that over 50 millio…
