data-mm-id=”_lnjk53nds”>Today is the day every Major League Baseball player would have worn No. 42 to honor Jackie Robinson, a trailblazing and monumentally important figure in American history. Most are familiar with the broad strokes of his challenging and iron-willed rise to break baseball's color barrier. They know he was the perfect blend of talent and personality to take on the task.What gets lost sometimes is just how productive Robinson was once he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. He won Rookie of the Year while leading the National League in steals. Two seasons later he'd take home the MVP while hitting. 342, driving in 124 runs, and swiping 37 bags. This kicked off six consecutive seasons in which he posted an OPS over .900 while playing acrobatic and effective …

data-mm-id=”_g01dvmrgr”>NBA players love wine. We've heard this before, but now that they are all living in a bubble and we're finding out what is really important to them we're getting a serious look at the league's wine obsession.

It was the kind of defeat that reverberates for a long time. It was as embarrassing a loss as any NFL team has suffered this season. Lynn will likely be gone after a few more games, but this rot goes much deeper than him. The Chargers were expected to contend for a playoff spot this year and are currently 3-9. The only bright spot on the season has been the play of rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, but even he was horrid on Sunday. Herbert completed 26 of 53 passes (49 percent) for 209 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions. The Chargers were outgained by the Patriots …

data-mm-id=”_rlr2is5ky”>On Monday, Quinnen Williams sent the New York Jets a message by removing the team from his Twitter bio. The All-Pro defensive tackle has been embroiled in a contract dispute with the franchise and it appears things are getting nastier. Here's a shot of his Twitter page:Of note, the following tweet is currently at the top of Williams' Twitter page:Giants’ All-Pro DT Dexter Lawrence reached agreement today on a four-year, $90 million extension, including $60 million guaranteed, per sources. The deal makes Lawrence the third highest-paid DT in the NFL. pic.twitter.com/PHhRdZv1k2— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 4, 2023That's a pretty strong message. He wants Dexter Lawrence money. Williams had his best season in 2022, reaching his first Pro Bow…
