Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.

It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can…

The market for the Seahawks was “soft.” Until it wasn’t.Less than three weeks after Seth Wickersham of ESPN used the “S” word regarding the interest in the only NFL team currently for sale, Ian Rapoport on NFL Network (which makes him now an employee of ESPN) reported during a prime-time edition of Pat McAfee’s show that the market is suddenly “robust.”Rapoport, who was careful to try to harmonize his reporting with the recent intel from a new colleague, added that the owners could have a special meeting in August to vote on the new owner.The number, per Rapoport, “could eclipse…

It will be a tall order for the incumbent to hang onto the Larry O’Brien trophy, and not just because they first must defeat the tallest player in the National Basketball Association, 7’4″ San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama, one final time (out of potentially two remaining games). It’s also not solely because the Knicks starting five, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns, are playing lights-out basketball on behalf of New York City (the…
