The Philadelphia Eagles' efforts this offseason to lobby for the "Tush Push" to remain legal in the NFL paid off. The play popularized by the Eagles has not been banned. Ahead of the ruling, The Athletic's Brooks Kubena and Dianna Russini reported that "key" NFL committees recommended banning the play. But that wasn't enough. Why did the Eagles care so much?

The Chicago White Sox won the World Series in 2005. After the 4-0 sweep, Sox fans pulled out their flip phones and Sidekicks to call their adversaries, Chicago Cubs fans, and rub in the victory. But that was then. The White Sox made it to the divisional series in 2021 and haven't seen a playoff bid since.

If they make it to the big game again, the Commanders may very well get a rematch with Buffalo, but first, they'll have to beat the Eagles, who looked complete while battling wind and precipitation.

When fantasy managers score the No. 1 draft pick, the season feels ripe with opportunity. Any one of several supremely talented players can serve as your champion, leading your roster to undreamt heights in a quest for fantasy glory. Unless, that is, you draft Christian McCaffrey when he's the consensus top pick - those managers will end up cowering in a fetal position at the base of a desolate crater McCaffrey has dug for them.
