The Ravens are among the NFL’s top challengers to the Seahawks this season.It would be fascinating to honestly poll Baltimore Ravens fans about what crossed their minds while watching Mike Macdonald raise the Lombardi Trophy. Some probably felt pride. Others likely felt envy. Many almost certainly wondered when Baltimore’s turn would finally come again.All of those emotions would make sense. Macdonald spent nine seasons with the Ravens organization across two separate stints, including a wildly successful run as defensive coordinator from 2022 through 2023. He took his talents to the Pacific Northwest. Ravens fans watched one of their own climb…

After Arsenal’s first league title for more than two decades was confirmed, tens of thousands of supporters rushed to Emirates Stadium to celebrate.”I knew we were a sleeping giant that we needed to awaken in some way.” Kroenke said.”We haven’t had a team, a squad like this in the social media age. Social media evolved and the Twittersphere and everything else around it.”The instantaneous information, the ‘Banter Era’ – I’m aware of all this.

New York Knicks president Leon Rose put together a team that reached the NBA Finals all while rarely interacting with the media, and he earned the admiration of another notable sports executive in the city in the process.”Not in this town,” New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said when discussing whether he could do the job without speaking to the media, per Ian O’Connor of The Athletic.”But the bottom line isn’t how you communicate publicly. It’s not what you say, it’s what you do. And what Leon Rose has done is transformational.”He made really impactful moves with [Jalen] Brunson…

In the last six seasons, the Carolina Panthers have had zero First-Team All-Pros. They have hardly been recognized by the AP All-Pro voting in that time. In fairness, they have kind of been a talent wasteland for a long time. That’s changing, though. Slowly but surely, the Panthers are raising their talent level, and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if a few of the current players finally made an All-Pro team in 2026.

The Texas Longhorns and head coach Steve Sarkisian are all-in on the 2026 season.
