Patch leaves the Eagles for the RaidersPatch the Eagles’ senior director of college scouting was a key figure in the team's recent success in the NFL draft is leaving the organization to take a senior position with the Raiders Patch was one of the Eagles’ longest-tenured scouts having first joined the organization as college scouting coordinator in 2002 While others in the personnel department received promotions or moved into other roles in recent years — some of them mostly nominal — Patch was a consistent presence on the college evaluation side He did not immediately respond to a request for comment but a source said that the team was sad to see Patch go but understood that taking what amounted to a promotion with the Raiders was best for him professionally and personally The Raiders announced the deal later Monday » READ MORE: Sizing up the Eagles’ roster after the NFL draft There are likely more changes coming to Eagles personnel and football operations Most contracts for staffers run through the draft and the month of May is often a busy time for turnover in scouting departments across the NFL Patch may not be familiar to many outside the NovaCare Complex, but he has been one of general manager Howie Roseman’s most trusted aides and has been a key figure in the Eagles’ recent drafting success “One of the best teammates you could ever ask for,” a former Eagles executive said of Patch after Kelly was fired and Roseman regained control Patch will work under new Raiders general manager John Spytek who was a scout with the Eagles from 2005-09 He also gets to work for the Las Vegas-based franchise MRI results are 'good news'May 4th NEW YORK – was at the center of a concerned huddle during the eighth inning on Saturday grimacing as his left shoulder was put through a battery of strength-test exercises on the left side of the Yankee Stadium infield It seemed impossible not to consider a worst-case scenario Just days ago, the Yankees lost second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. for at least a month to a right oblique strain and now the other half of their double-play combination was saying he felt “a pop” in his shoulder after diving for a ground-ball single That Volpe continued to play is encouraging (manager Aaron Boone said Sunday the results of X-rays and an MRI constituted “good news”), though it was hardly a banner inning for the shortstop. The Christopher Morel leadoff single that ticked off Volpe’s glove sparked a comeback against Mark Leiter Jr., and the go-ahead run scored on a Volpe error as the Yankees fell to the Rays, 3-2 Volpe was not in the starting lineup on Sunday with Oswald Peraza handling shortstop duties I felt OK and I felt like I had my strength,” Volpe said on Saturday “I’ve never really had anything else pop or dislocate or anything like that That statement prompts cautious optimism about Volpe’s situation though Chisholm’s experience just days prior would warn against any overconfidence After exiting Tuesday's game during the club’s series in Baltimore saying it was precautionary and that he expected to be back in the lineup after a day or two Chisholm was stunned when an MRI taken on Thursday in New York revealed not one “I was super surprised when I saw the results,” Chisholm said “It’s not as bad as it looks on the scan.” So now the Yankees hope to avoid a similar situation with Volpe their depth already being tested in multiple areas Volpe said on Saturday he was able to swing a bat in the cages underneath the first-base grandstand and felt “good." “We wanted to make sure strength-wise he was in a good position The Rays used speed to slip past the Yankees going 6-for-6 in stolen-base attempts against catcher Austin Wells While Volpe flexed his shoulder between pitches in the eighth pinch-runner Chandler Simpson swiped second base then participated on the front end of a double steal that set up Curtis Mead’s game-tying bloop single “They definitely ran a lot today and got good jumps,” Wells said “They gave themselves opportunities to get in scoring position I think that’s their game and what they do.” José Caballero followed with a grounder to Volpe unable to record an out as Brandon Lowe trotted home Volpe said he “was trying to turn two before I secured the ball.” The Yankees avoided further damage thanks to Cody Bellinger’s circus catch in left field reaching high above his head to secure a Kameron Misner liner that appeared destined for extra bases Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball but I was glad I was able to make up the ground,” Bellinger said The late shift spoiled an afternoon in which Aaron Judge and Wells homered for the Yanks with Judge lifting his team-leading 11th -- the captain’s sixth in a first inning this season Judge’s 71 career first-inning homers are tied with Derek Jeter for fourth most in franchise history; only Babe Ruth (126) Mickey Mantle (103) and Lou Gehrig (84) hit more Ryan Yarbrough tossed four innings of one-run, one-hit ball in his longest outing of the season, drawing a spot start in place of Clarke Schmidt, who was scratched from his scheduled outing due to right flank discomfort and said he will prepare to face the Padres on Tuesday Wells’ drive off Tampa Bay starter Zack Littell was the catcher’s sixth of the season providing the Yanks with a fifth-inning lead Eighth-inning singles by Trent Grisham and Bellinger set up a two-on who has been excellent in all offensive situations including with runners in scoring position (14-for-26 inducing Judge to hit a hard inning-ending grounder to shortstop Taylor Walls you can’t get the job done every single time,” Bellinger said NEW YORK -- Shortstop Anthony Volpe sat out Sunday for the New York Yankees' 7-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays a day after he injured his left shoulder on a dive while trying to get to a grounder MRI -- good news," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said but I feel like we're probably in a good spot Volpe remained in the game after his unsuccessful attempt for a backhand stab on Christopher Morel's eighth-inning single which sparked a two-run rally in Tampa Bay's 3-2 win Saturday Volpe said after the game he heard a pop in the shoulder He's got some stuff that they feel like is older stuff "He's definitely a little cranky in the shoulder today." 19 RBIs and four stolen bases in his third season with the Yankees Oswald Peraza started at shortstop New York already is missing second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (strained right oblique), third baseman DJ LeMahieu (strained left calf), ace Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery) and right-hander Luis Gil (right lat strain) The Associated Press contributed to this report Anthony returns to the livestream for the fourth consecutive year alongside Teyana Taylor and Ego Nwodim Arturo Holmes/MG22/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue As Kobe Byrant did with Julius Randle at the beginning of the latter’s NBA career the 30-year-old veteran is now trying to teach his young teammate Wolves coach Chris Finch has praised Randle for helping Edwards hone his pregame routine “I’m just trying to find way I can improve Ant has never had a problem working his butt off always getting his reps and extra work in.” Randle spoke Sunday as the Wolves prepared for their Western Conference semifinal playoff series Randle played two seasons at the start of his career with Bryant who retired in April 2016 and died in a helicopter crash in January 2020 at age 41 Now Randle is the wily veteran playing for his fourth NBA team who wants to pass along what he has learned from others `What is the dude talking about?’ But now I give it a lot more The true blessing is being able to pass it on to others 5.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists and shot 39.3% on three-pointers in the Wolves’ five-game first-round playoff victory over the Lakers “He’s playing both sides of the ball at a high level,” said Finch who coached Randle with New Orleans as well “I’ve never seen him locked in as defensively as he has been over the last half of the season in particular and into the playoffs Randle calls a lot of it an attempt to help Edwards “He makes the game easy for us because he pulls in so much gravity on the court It’s obviously easy playing with him because he just gets so much attention out there Throughout the course of the year and being able to sit out [injured] I said this dude has the chance to be one of the greatest players to touch a basketball so what can I do to maximize his talent and make the game easier for him?” Finch planned to watch Sunday night’s Golden State-Houston Game 7 from the comfort of his own home so I choose to be at home,” he said with a wry smile .The Wolves will play host to the Warriors in Game 1 on Tuesday after Golden State beat the Rockets 103-89 “We’re prepared for either team,” Finch said Finch said this second-round playoff series might present the opportunity to play some younger players that the first round didn’t Finch said he thought the first-round series might have presented more opportunities for rookie Terrence Shannon Jr. He played 13 minutes over parts of three games against the Lakers. “We thought it might be a series where T.J. could help us,” Finch said. “We threw him in a few times and thought we’d use him more. We’re already ready to do that. This series could give us the opportunity to play some of our young guys, too. We’ll just see how it goes.” Jerry Zgoda covers Minnesota United FC and Major League Soccer for the Minnesota Star Tribune. Wolves Minnesota passing on Curry (twice) or Ant’s list Four straight years in the playoffs and two straight years advancing in the postseason A transcendent star and a smartly assembled supporting cast had been attempting to leg out an infield single "He put so much effort in the offseason. I know how he works," manager Alex Cora said after the game "Everything he went through in the offseason getting ready for this He was looking forward to having a big season for us Red Sox executive Craig Breslow confirmed that Casas will require surgery and isn't expected back this season It's worth remembering that New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz missed an entire season after suffering a torn patellar tendon during the 2023 World Baseball Classic he's been a productive hitter throughout his big-league career he entered Friday's contest having averaged a 118 OPS+ and 29 home runs per 162 games His presence in the Red Sox lineup is sure to be missed this is the nature of professional sports: a player suffers an injury and the team must adjust Who might the Red Sox turn to in order to fill Casas' cleats at the cold corner? Early indications suggest Abraham Toro, a 28-year-old veteran with a career 80 OPS+, will get the call to fill Casas' roster spot on Saturday that might be considered or factored into the equation over the coming weeks González benefits from offering the least friction of anyone presented in this article Not only is he already on the active roster he's earned the nod at first base every time the Red Sox have been opposed by a lefty starter González has fared well in those assignments batting .275/.341/.400 (109 OPS+) with five doubles there's often a good reason for why teams deploy productive hitters in limited roles his struggles with breaking balls have hampered his ability to offer much against righty pitchers (He's posted a .551 OPS in his big-league career without the platoon advantage.) The Red Sox seem to know what González can and cannot do suggesting they'll view him as part of the answer -- just not the entirety of it Grissom isn't the Worcester hitter most people will think about in response to Casas' injury including already having a spot on the 40-player roster as well as experience in the majors and at first base Grissom has hit .289/.373/.452 so far this season albeit with an ugly 11-to-25 walk-to-strikeout ratio He's mostly disappointed since his promising 2022 debut but he's only 24 years old and the Red Sox should figure out if he has a future on the big-league roster before he enters next spring without a minor-league option Add in how Anthony is not yet on the 40-player roster and he seems unlikely to be the initial internal solution the Red Sox throw at this problem We're now moving to the external candidate portion of the article Be warned: the following names are not going to impress you since they're veterans stationed with someone else's Triple-A affiliate teams are willing to accommodate these types if another team has a spot for them on the big-league roster -- either as a gesture of good faith or in response to the player possessing an upward mobility clause One has to imagine the Mets would be willing to ship him to Boston if the Red Sox show interest The Twins wouldn't appear to have reason to stand in his way if the Red Sox wanted to add him May the Fourth be with 🫵 pic.twitter.com/yRdgyTMe30 Mayer & stories of the Double-A Sea Dogs1:28 PM UTCIan Browne BOSTON -- While there is a uniqueness to most Minor League baseball cities the Red Sox have one of the most coveted destinations And that becomes clear for all to see in the pilot episode of “Grass Routes,” a new travel show available on-demand via MLB Network and MLB.TV that celebrates the unique vibe of Minor League Baseball communities Portland was the first stop on the trail this show will blaze because it’s hard to beat a waterfront community with gorgeous ocean views and a plentiful supply of lobster narrated by MLB Pipeline’s veteran prospect guru Jonathan Mayo “They say that Maine is the way life should be Portland is the way vacation should be every day affordable housing and luxury housing." Mayo interviews the marquee Minor Leaguers away from the ballpark and there are some entertaining and insightful conversations currently in Worcester with Anthony as he awaits his first call-up comes into a lobster shack to eat with Mayo “Sometimes you even take it for granted now that we’re here how awesome it is,” Mayer tells Mayo “You don’t want to be someplace for too long but if you’re going to be someplace for a year Boston is less than two hours south of Portland you’re probably going to see 10 Sea Dog hats in two minutes,” said Mayer “It feels like the whole city loves the Sea Dogs The end goal is to be a big leaguer and win the World Series I’m where my feet are and I’m going to do everything I can to get better I’m going to have fun and be in a great city as well.” I started to learn how to cook and the basics of what to eat and we’re going to make breakfast.' And we tried it once and Marcelo completely burnt the bacon and we just screwed it up and the smoke detector was going off and we were like ‘We’re never going to do this again and we haven’t cooked since.”’ Given that Mayer always brags about what a great cook his mom is it’s maybe a little surprising he didn’t’ pick some of that up “I’ve [busted] on him way too many times on interviews and stuff,” said Anthony “He’s a great roommate but he can’t cook." Both players loved all that Portland had to offer It’s a great time during the summer,” Anthony said it’s nice to set goals and say I want to be here by a certain time or I want to be in the big leagues by this age but I think people forget to relax for a little bit and enjoy what you have and enjoy Portland Baseball themes weave the episode together May the Fourth be with 🫵 pic.twitter.com/yRdgyTMe30 While the star players fluctuate from year to year at Hadlock Field the first Minor League mascot to be inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame Not only does Slugger provide joy for kids at games but the mascot also travels to a local clinic to cheer up children dealing with cancer The Raiders have added to their front office under first-year General Manager John Spytek Las Vegas announced on Monday that the club has hired Anthony Patch as senior personnel executive serving as senior director of college scouting previously serving as director of college scouting Las Vegas also recently named Brian Stark assistant G.M and Johnathon Stigall as assistant director of college scouting as the club continues to remake its front office under Spytek A Division of NBCUniversal DISCLAIMER: This site and the products offered are for entertainment purposes only and there is no gambling offered on this site This service is intended for adult audiences No guarantees are made for any specific outcome If you or someone you know has a gambling problem NEW YORK − Anthony Volpe returned to the Yankees' starting lineup Monday night after sitting out Sunday's game due to a sore left shoulder Weather permitting in the Bronx, Volpe will be at shortstop and batting sixth against the San Diego Padres Manager Aaron Boone said he spoke with Volpe following Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays and Volpe felt he would be good to go Monday Feel like we dodged something there,'' Boone said of Volpe who jammed his left shoulder while diving for a base hit during Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rays Volpe underwent X-rays and an MRI on Saturday "He's full strength,'' Boone said of his shortstop sore right hip) is a candidate to join the Yankees on their two-city West Coast road trip beginning Friday at Sacramento The veteran infielder would figure to get playing time at second base which will keep the lefty-hitting second baseman out of the Yankees' lineup for the next four-to-six weeks The Minnesota Timberwolves are preparing for the Western Conference Semifinal round against the Golden State Warriors after defeating LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in five games The Warriors took seven games to get past the No these teams battle it out beginning on Tuesday night in Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards went viral for a photo of him being bald fans asked the same question: Did Edwards go bald Here's everything you need to know about the photo MORE: Anthony Edwards details trash talk to Lakers fan that cameras didn't catch  The photo of the Timberwolves star looking like Michael Jordan is edited New Look ANT. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/Uo006UB0ow The physical resemblance between Edwards and the NBA GOAT only grew with this photo being posted on social media It doesn't help that fans have been wondering for a while (albeit jokingly) whether or not Edwards is Jordan's son For starters, the account NBA Centel is a parody account that had already received a temporary ban on X earlier in the year The account's bio also clearly says PARODY ACCOUNT has eight million views as of Monday morning and some fans were hoping that it was fake "that better be edited or im gonna crash out," one fan replied MORE: Why fans believe Anthony Edwards is Michael Jordan's son But Grok confirmed that the NBA Centel account is a parody account "However, @TheNBACentel is a known parody account, and there's no solid confirmation from credible sources to verify the image.

The World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases does but calls it compulsive sexual behavior disorder “I was a person who had this exaggerated belief in my own ability and worked really hard So even though I lost my brother to addiction”—his older brother struggled with drugs and alcohol and was inebriated when hit by a car as he crossed a Virginia highway on foot in 2000—“I never quite internalized it as a thing rock bottom is what forced him to reconsider and possibly the election of the first female president Weiner could not understand how it had all happened I knew that I was doing it an enormous amount When people say ‘What were you thinking?,’ I could not answer.” Peter Fisher for The Atlantic“I’m not a victim of some larger conspiracy,” he said “It’s just a thing that I did that I’ve accepted responsibility for.” He credits the rituals of recovery—the naming of his condition; 12 steps; group meetings which he says he still attends—for providing a ladder up: “It brought me relief Read: Democrats have a problem It’s impossible to know if Weiner has really become more decipherable to himself He says all the things a sincere person would say about addiction—which are also the things a clever insincere person would say We live in an era when every scoundrel has a pathology It’s hard to imagine a person less suited to the Serenity Prayer He at least seems to have arrived at an understanding that the forces inside him can not be dissociated I asked if politics and sexting were intertwined compulsions if chasing votes would lead to the world waking up to another shot of his junk on social media But there’s still vintage material out there from the Carlos Danger era “Part of the risk of all this is that people are like Weiner listened to his sponsor and asked himself if he was chasing fame (“no”) or action (“I did have the sense I ain’t doing enough”) Jordan and Abedin are thriving and will not be at risk of financial ruin should he implode (Weiner and Abedin separated in 2016 and officially divorced in early 2025; Abedin is now engaged to George Soros’s son Alex.) “I mean and that ability translates into a better city and a better neighborhood for my son And then the answer is usually some version of: People are gonna say mean things to you but that didn’t seem like all that good a reason To appear on New York City’s primary ballot candidates for city council need 450 people to sign a petition supporting their candidacy The Weiner campaign has no headquarters and one full-time staffer I had fight-or-flight at every door,” Weiner told me “It’s not like I’ve got a strategic view of how to deal with the scandal I’m trying to deal with these things with honesty and started yelling—and by now it should not surprise you that he yelled back Some gently teased him or showed him grace or Eliot Spitzer (“Wrong Jew,” Weiner told me) This tracks with my own experience of being in public with Weiner you must be a glutton for punishment,’’’ he said “Or someone will say ‘I believe in second chances,’ or ‘I voted for you before; I’ll vote for you again,’ that kind of thing But I always include in my calculus that people will say nice things and generally keep nasty things to themselves especially when you’re out there face-to-face.” Weirdly, the biggest obstacle to Weiner’s comeback may be not his past, but his politics. He’s lived in District 2 since 2011, but it’s far from the mostly white, middle-class parts of Queens and Brooklyn he represented as a congressman. Every District 2 council member since the early 1990s has been Hispanic. Just 8 percent of the district’s 175,000 residents are registered Republicans Fresh Defund the Police graffiti appears regularly Weiner’s a centrist Democrat—he thinks the neighborhood needs more cops and fewer pot shops “If this election is about the most anti-Trump you’re not going to pick a Cuomo or a Weiner,” he said but there seems to be a disconnect with the brand that New York Democrats are selling and what people want to buy right now.” I asked what evidence he had to support this “I’m in New York with a head on my shoulders seeing what’s going on on 14th Street.” The minimalist composer Philip Glass is a longtime District 2 resident I mention this because the Weiner campaign is basically just two loud hunches in a way that may or may not cohere into a melody The first hunch is focusing the campaign relentlessly on quality-of-life issues with moderate to conservative positions on subway-fare evasion (stop it) and the recent proliferation of missile-like E-bikes in bike lanes (stop it) Technocratic intolerance for disorder was last a thing in New York City during the Bloomberg administration usually we associate firebrands with an extreme kind of thing,” Weiner said I watched some game tape of Weiner at candidate forums and interest-group Zooms from the past few months The truth is that these events can be both a bore and a circus Sometimes Weiner was the clown—“I will take questions on anything as you do watching anyone be excellent at something When a Service Employees International Union (SEIU) group that represents medical residents and interns told him that its top priority is more housing close to hospitals “Am I going to do that for the firefighters also Am I going to do that for the guys who work in the sanitation department You tell me how you expect this to work.” He did not sound like the unreasonable one he took a simple question about a local homeless man and lit into the progressive orthodoxy on homelessness—which prioritizes an unhoused person’s right to stay on the street over getting troubled people necessary care and preserving public spaces Most politicians know how to live on the surface in these moments But Weiner uses conflict to make small things feel more urgent to make local democracy into something worthy of passion but he challenges Democrats to hear the jagged melody blaring through his septum: Do we want to be polite Weiner has few ways to know if any of this is working He and his rivals are on the verge of reaching the council fundraising cap The New York Times appears to find him too prurient to cover while the New York Post sticks to dick jokes and contempt When he entered the race, a rival candidate proposed the Withholding Eligibility in NYC Elections for Restricted Individuals Act, or

quarterback is the ultimate X-factor for the Colts If Richardson actually proves to be the guy and a defense that looks to be about average at worst "How much does AR’s completion percentage need to improve in order for him to keep his starting job?" -- @Isaac23178765 TwitterIt's unrealistic to say he's going to be a 60-plus guy right away but if he can get it closer to 55% this year A huge factor in his completion percentage is the routes he targets checkdown options should increase his percentage "Is there any part of you that fears Daniel Jones wins the QB job?" -- @JustinRTBColts TwitterI wouldn't say "fears," but I do think it would be disappointing if Richardson couldn't show enough growth to retain the job then it probably means the Colts will have an offense somewhat reminiscent of 2023 with Gardner Minshew Jones likely wouldn't be showing that he's the future of the franchise which means the Colts would have to figure out the quarterback position once again for the eighth straight year "Would league-average QB play get the Colts to the playoffs with this roster If yes…what percent chance would you give AR or DJ (or more likely the combination of the two) providing at least league-average QB play?" -- @SeafordFootDoc TwitterI do think the Colts would be capable of getting into the postseason with somewhat steady quarterback play I won't make some big proclamation that one of them will definitely take a big jump but I'll give each the benefit of the doubt and say that they'll both at least be a little better than they were last year Let's say 55% chance that at least one of them looks like a reasonable starter is Tanor Bortolini being listed as a guard on the Colts website a real thing for this year?" -- Rich Wheeler FacebookI wouldn't look too much into that The Colts do feel Bortolini could play center or guard but he should be considered the front-runner for the center position There is a world where the Colts make Danny Pinter the center and Bortolini the right guard What happens next for the Colts?

the Warriors survived the SoFi Play-In Tournament while the Wolves needed a late-season surge to avoid the Play-In and snatch the No and this series has a chance of going the seven-game limit because of that LeBron James and Luka Dončić from the postseason Edwards appears to be on a star hunt as he makes his case for being the face of the NBA He’s at the right age and the right stage of his career for a major takeover Give him this: He’s not scared of the moment or the stage or the chance to be a folk hero Edwards has the shine of other solo stars of the past — 2011 Dirk Nowitzki comes to mind There’s a lot more road to travel from here and Steph won’t surrender easily — if at all The potential drama between Draymond and Rudy The NBA evidently is being lenient about physical play as we’ve seen through much of the first round of these playoffs Now comes the real test — how much it looks the other way with Draymond and Rudy Gobert they’re not on each other’s Christmas card list There’s a history here; the most infamous moment was when Draymond grabbed Gobert two Novembers ago and put him in a headlock That earned Draymond a five-game suspension and possibly cost him a chance to be placed on 2024 Team USA roster as well there’s no stated reason why they dislike each other The theory is Draymond is jealous over Gobert’s four Kia Defensive Player of the Year awards; Draymond has mocked the number of Gobert’s awards in the past Here’s something else these two defensive aces have in common — they’re usually invisible on the offensive end aside from Gobert’s massive Game 5 in the first round For the Warriors: The intriguing benching of Jonathan Kuminga will either come to a halt He played only three games in the first round because coach Steve Kerr became exasperated and went with the three-guard approach of Curry Buddy Hield and Brandin Podziemski instead the Warriors might need Kuminga’s length and athleticism because the Wolves have that going for them For the Timberwolves: Can Julius Randle keep this up All the ghosts of past postseasons have perhaps been exorcised by Randle who either was too injured to play or struggled when he did with the Knicks He averaged 22.6 points on 48% shooting with decent defense against the Lakers even if one impressive round doesn’t scream total redemption In order to satisfy those skeptics and even his new teammates Randle needs some carryover against the Warriors It could help him land a rich contract extension this summer Wolves' supporting cast delivers to close out Lakers in Game 5 Naz Reid shot 6-for-6 on fourth-quarter 3s over the five games but all other Wolves shot just 10-for-41 from beyond the arc over those 60 minutes the offensive numbers were strong and the defense was incredible to just 81 points per 100 possessions in the fourth period The Wolves were also at their best (plus-9.2 per 100 possessions) in the fourth quarter in the regular season but lost fourth-quarter leads in two of their three losses to the Warriors who were the sixth best fourth-quarter team (plus-17.0 per 100) in the first round there’s a formula that often rings true: The team with the best player wins even when he’s sharing the floor with Curry There’s also another trend: The hottest team wins Both teams beat higher seeds to arrive here they look amped enough to return to the conference finals Shaun Powell has covered the NBA for more than 25 years.

Not including Christian Watson coming back hopefully towards the business end of the season! If Jordan Love is healthy I am hoping for exciting things from the defense as well we just seemed to focus more on the offense in the draft I don't want to rush the fall season only having 18 holes of golf in thus far...but it's tempting The Packers already had a bevy of receiving options and now add two more wideouts with enticing skill sets Who's to say what form this offense will take in 2025 Take a closer look at some of the college highlights of the 2025 draft class of the Green Bay Packers Hey guys, the Barryn Sorrell pick intrigues me His measurables compare to other players who were all drafted in the first and second rounds in previous drafts are normally drafted very high and coveted by teams Did the Packers just smash on a super-high value guy who may have fallen through the cracks I don't know why Sorrell was available in the back end of the fourth round I'm just happy he was there because Sorrell has everything you look for in an NFL edge rusher (as Spoff outlined well on Wednesday) Sorrell didn't have the sack numbers that pundits salivate over but he does the little things well and has burgeoning pass-rush skills Jack Sawyer and Bradyn Swinson all lasted longer than I thought they would going into the draft Is Isaiah Simmons Eric Wilson 2.0 Looks like he has a history of similar utilization and talents There's an opening as a core-four special-teamer faster and rangier than Wilson as a linebacker Give credit to Wilson for the NFL career he's carved out as a former college free agent but Simmons was the eighth overall pick in 2020 he's one of those top 1% guys to which I was referring earlier this week I am thrilled about the signing of Simmons Simmons can play a multitude of roles on the defense I know he can immediately play on special teams but where would you predict he will fit in on our defense That's a question for Jeff Hafley whenever we next speak with him Simmons didn't see a ton of defensive playing time in New York but made an impact on special teams for the Giants the past two years It's just been a matter of finding out how to best utilize those tools Follow packers.com's coverage of the 2025 NFL Draft Greetings Gents! I was wondering if Xavier McKinney might have suggested Isaiah Simmons to the decision-makers or maybe they sought input from him on Simmons but certainly Gutekunst and the scouting staff are aware of past player connections Think of the picks Packers could get for them teams can only receive a maximum of four compensatory picks rather perplexed as to any comments as to Gute utterly breaking the existing Pack draft model: Big rather than mobile swift/shifty as opposed to big edge rushers Gute has adapted and needs a HUGE shoutout from Pack Nation I think this year will be very entertaining and likely productive on the betting scale given my Nevada proximity Does Gute have a love affair with Georgia football players The Bulldogs have had great success recently but come on now How many Georgia players on the roster right now I don't know if Gutey's background is German but I do know that his last name translates in English to "Good work(s) of art." And I do think everyone will agree that Gutey and his staff created a good work of art in the "Big 8" from this year's draft how about a few words from the Pack's side about the first undrafted free-agent signings: Nazir Stackhouse and Jamon Dumas-Johnson We have a full offseason to chat about rookies and college free agents Let's wait till they sign their contracts and get on the field What has been the evaluation of the draft in Green Bay from the people responsible for evaluating it at the NFL I haven't heard anything from the NFL perspective The NFL seems elated about how the Green Bay draft went based on a few informal and off-the-record conversations I've had with league folks The event was obviously well attended live but also easily navigable for the NFL and its employees There was ample space to bring staging in and out I went into the draft thinking this might be a once-in-a-lifetime event but maybe I'll cover another one in Green Bay before my time at packers.com is over You mentioned the Packers could still sign a veteran cornerback What are your thoughts on them possibly bringing back Rasul Douglas I don't know but I am stunned Douglas is still on the market Just saw the pictures from the draft event on our website. Looks like it has been awesome! I was wondering what the world map with those shiny buttons was all about Did it represent where each of the selected draft picks is originated from with patrons putting pins in the part of the world they came from I obviously did my part and represented the 'Mico Which team surprised you the most in the draft Atlanta trading a future first-round pick to move back into the first round and take James Pearce Jr just curious in your perspective if the Bears have done "more" for Caleb Williams relatively speaking than the Pack did for Aaron Rodgers in terms of surrounding him with the tools needed for success be it draft or FA It's probably apples to oranges to some extent based on the craft of the craftsman plying the tools And if defense wins championships then maybe offense was never a problem I know the fourth-best member of the Shield was getting all hyped about Williams and the Bears at the draft but Chicago still won five games last year The Packers did plenty for Rodgers and vice versa leading to a legendary 15-year run together Only one team can win it all at the end of the day Green Bay has done four times to Chicago's one in the Super Bowl era How tempted do you think Gute was to take the Falcons' offer to move down 23 spots but pick up a first-round draft pick in 2026 What did you think about the trade the Falcons and Rams executed I'd say the Falcons think they're a lot closer to Super Bowl contention than I think they are The Green Bay Packers started their 2025 offseason workout program on Monday What are your thoughts regarding the recent debate setting the social media world ablaze Do you think 100 men equipped solely with their bare hands could take out a fully grown silverback gorilla The gorilla would most likely get a handful of us but the sheer mass of humans would overpower the strongest gorilla Wild hypothetical, Kyle. I prefer to keep it more realistic: Could 11 Wes Hodkiewicz-sized Wes Hodkiewiczs stop one Josh Jacobs on a football field but knew it wasn't relevant with the draft questions I loved the use of the word "donnybrook" last week I first heard the word in John Wayne's "The Quiet Man" and looked it up Great fun to see the origin surrounding a raucous affair And here I thought it was just some random phrase Jim Ross once used during "Monday Night Raw." As a shareholder of the Packers and a lifelong fan what an outstanding experience it was to attend the NFL Draft in Green Bay with my two sons the Packers organization and the NFL for the wonderful experience I've heard many similar sentiments over the past few days Just giving you a chance to reply with a link to a new "Unscripted."

Sign In The family of Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old Texas high school student charged with first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of fellow student Austin Metcalf during a track meet on April 2, has raised over $515,000 through a GiveSendGo crowdfunding campaign. The funds are intended to cover Anthony's legal defense and ensure the family's safety following threats and public scrutiny. Jacob Wells, co-founder of GiveSendGo, stated that most funds are earmarked for Anthony's legal expenses. Additionally, a portion will be used for the family's relocation to a secure residence, rental costs, and enhanced security measures. The family has also updated the fundraiser's description to reflect these intentions, emphasizing that the funds will support "safe relocation," "basic living costs," "transportation," "counseling," and "other security measures."  The campaign's goal was recently increased to $600,000, and the funds will not be disbursed until this target is met. Despite public criticism regarding the family's living arrangements and expenditures, Wells noted that no donors have requested refunds after clarifying the fund's purpose. Anthony was released from the Collin County Jail after his bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000. His release conditions include house arrest, wearing an ankle monitor, and restrictions on social media use. The family has reported receiving death threats and experiencing harassment, prompting their relocation to an undisclosed location. The case has drawn national attention, with both the Anthony and Metcalf families facing online harassment and misinformation. Authorities continue investigating the incident, and Anthony's legal proceedings are ongoing. and Kevin Durant all in their late-30s (or in James' case coupled with the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic headed to early playoff exits as of late it may be time to crown a new face of the association USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (center right) greets Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (center left) after the game at Chase Center Mandatory Credit: Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images / Darren Yamashita-Imagn ImagesSan Antonio Spurs star big man but with the Spurs likely not in the championship picture for the next few years Anthony Edwards as the likeliest candidate to take over as the true face of the league due to his on-court killer instinct coupled with his outspoken attitude both on and off-the-court...it doesn't hurt that he's days removed from leading the Timberwolves to a five-game playoff victory over the LeBron James and Luka Doncic-led Los Angeles Lakers one member of the media (and former NBA player) has a certain three-time All-NBA First-Team player and defending NBA champion in mind USA; Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (0) during the first half against the Orlando Magic at TD Garden Mandatory Credit: Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images / Bob DeChiara-Imagn ImagesFormer Chicago Bulls guard turned ESPN NBA analyst Jay Williams went on 'First Take' to make the argument for Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum as being the current face of the league over who many argue to be next in line in Edwards "All I want to say is how many times has Jayson Tatum been to the Eastern Conference Finals all I want to say is how many times has Jayson Tatum been to the NBA Finals Brother could win multiple championships...and we're just going to give it to Ant [Edwards] because he has the personality and he has to come out of the Western Conference?"
