In the recent NFL draft, the only running backs taken in the first round joined a rivalry that dates to 1960 and the American Football Conference. Chargers and Raiders. So who will have the better rookie season – Ashton Jeanty, the former Boise State star drafted sixth overall by the Raiders, or Omarion Hampton, the North Carolina alum who went 22nd to the Chargers? Look for Jeanty to break more tackles. Even as a rookie, he’ll show more power, agility and creativity than most NFL running backs.

The perceived baseball IQ of a big-league manager correlates to his bullpen. If the bullpen stinks, the manager is a dummy. If the bullpen shines, the manager is a genius. Meet Mike Shildt, baseball’s leading Einstein through the first fifth of the 2025 MLB season. Padres relievers went into Tuesday’s game at Yankee Stadium atop the big leagues in a dozen categories.

Five thoughts on Major League Soccer and first-year San Diego FC. 1.The regular season has far too many games, far too much travel and far too many international windows for any team to sustain a high level of soccer across the 34 matches. Soccer demands rare energy and fitness, or else a team’s quality sags. MLS fields are too big — wider by 17 to 27 yards than an NFL field — for a player’s tired legs not to show up.

Toss out tonight’s outlier. Padres bullpen has been MLB’s best this season. I couldn’t find another Padres ‘pen with a 34-games start this good (and several Padres bullpens were very good). https://t.co/USdhGHY4ao
