The once undisputed crown jewel of the NFL has been reduced to a tarnished imitation of their former selves.

The Yankees, Mets, and Dodgers are showing that shelling out for major stars can pay dividends at playoff time.

“Look, Jacoby [Brissett] is out there trying to do what we’ve asked him to do from the start,” coach Jerod Mayo said. “He’s taking some big hits, and his toughness continues to show up. Execution from the entire offense has to be better.”

It’s only Week 5 of the NFL season, but Jerod Mayo’s team needs a win in the worst way, and the injury-ridden Dolphins might be their last, best chance to get another one.

The conversation, much as it has all season, has veered away from the on-court product and into uglier areas, and the most recent example comes from the Players Association.

Sluka believes a verbal contract by a UNLV assistant coach for $100,000 of NIL money was broken. The Runnin’ Rebels counter that no such agreement exists.

The most decorated track athlete of the Paris Games returned home as the new face of her sport. Now she's competing in a lucrative event in New York.

The record is only 1-2, but the veteran has brought leadership and toughness. No matter how many times he goes down, he always gets back up.

Brissett had no time to think, no time to throw.

As the do-everything safety heads into the season’s third game Thursday against the Jets, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the Peppers that New England never knew.
