If you’re looking for a guy who lives life as loud as he played it, Warren Sapp is your man. The Hall of Fame defensive tackle has never been one to blend into the background, on or off the field.

On November 27, 2022, a young and relatively unknown head coach tiptoed quietly into ASU’s football program. The odds were stacked against him, and the scrutiny? It was touching the roof. After all, the program was coming off a 3-9 season, and many thought the move was a whirlwind of the carelessness that had always been with ASU following NCAA sanctions. Cut short to the start of the 2025 off-season, guess who’s laughing now?

The elephant in the room is getting bigger and bigger, and not one NFL team has come out and addressed it. 32 NFL teams and their GMs decided to pass on Shedeur Sanders, who was just sitting behind Cam Ward in the pre-draft process. We still don’t know what actually happened behind the scenes. Heck, we don’t even know why the Browns decided to draft Shedeur in their QB room when they already drafted Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel.

If you believed Nebraska football would simply fade into the Big Ten scenery, Matt Rhule has other ideas. Rhule’s not hesitant to rattle the table (and perhaps the old playbook) to make it happen. Put those days behind us when spring football in Lincoln was a vanilla scrimmage and a sea of red in Memorial Stadium.

When the New York Yankees aren’t busy smashing baseballs or dominating headlines, their captain is out here casually rewriting the playbook on leadership. Aaron Judge, a towering force both on and off the field, once again proved that decency isn’t dead—it’s just wearing a Yankees cap.

The 2025 WNBA Draft has been the loudest so far. Whether it is the orange carpet looks or the training camp sessions, one thing is certain.

The TD Garden is a fortress. A team makes the headlines for winning a game there. But winning two? In a row? Unprecedented, right? Well despite going pointless in their first nine possessions in Game 2, the Knicks set an ugly record for the Jayson Tatum and Co., which will be a thorn in their side for years to come. But how did that happen? There’s no way the champions would ever fold like that- they really haven’t looked like themselves this series.
