6 days ago | thecomeback.com | Michael Grant

In the NFL, so much of your success depends on being in the right circumstances. Here are five rookies who are in the best position to succeed in 2025: College: Georgia Drafted: No. 27 overall in 2025 NFL Draft Early last season, the Ravens’ pass defense was a mess, ranking dead last in many categories. It wasn’t until they revamped their entire secondary, including moving Kyle Hamilton to free safety, that they improved.

Being a home plate umpire is perhaps the hardest assignment for any official in all of sports, constantly receiving criticism on a nightly basis from fans, players, and umpires alike. But very rarely do you see players not even involved in the game openly criticize a home plate umpire as harshly as Toronto Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer did to CB Bucknor from the dugout on Friday.

To say that Evan Neal hasn’t quite panned out for the New York Giants to this point would be a drastic understatement. But it seems as if the organization isn’t quite fully done with him just yet, making only last decision on Wednesday to help revitalize his career. Coming into the NFL, Neal appeared as if he may be as sure of a can’t miss prospect as any offensive lineman in recent memory.

The 2025 NFL Draft concluded on Saturday, and with that, the heart of the offseason is now over. While there are still a few notable free agents out there (like Aaron Rodgers), and there could still be a few trades, we largely know what rosters will look like around the league entering training camp. DraftKings Sportsbook gives 12 NFL teams 25-to-1 or better odds to win Super Bowl LX (Feb. 8, 2026; Santa Clara, CA).

Andrej Stojakovic has thus far lived up to the legacy of his father, former NBA sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic, at the collegiate level, breaking out in a major way this past season. And on Monday, he made his long-awaited decision in the transfer portal as to where he will be playing in 2025. Last year, Stojakovic averaged 17.9 points and 4.7 rebounds at Cal. But where he truly shined was in the ACC Tournament, averaging a ridiculous 33.0 points in his team’s two ACC Tournament matchups.
Nuggets star sets unbelievable playoff record

When the Denver Nuggets needed him most, star point guard Jamal Murray rose to the occasion in the team’s Game 5 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. But just how Murray went about his 43-point performance was perhaps what was truly special. Nikola Jokic didn’t have his best stuff in Tuesday’s game, scoring just 13 points on shocking inefficient shooting splits, which is certainly a rarity for him. When Jokic struggles this much, it is typically a losing recipe for the Nuggets.

Former Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis unfortunately had his collegiate career cut short after suffering a fractured and dislocated ankle in 2023. And unfortunately, this same injury has put an end to his professional career before it ever got started. Travis spent the entirety of the 2024 NFL season after being selected in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the New York Jets on the non-football injury list while he attempted to recover from his devastating 2023 injury.

The New York Mets have been the best team in baseball through the first month and a half of the MLB season. And a big reason why has been just how effective the starting pitching staff has been. Through their first 30 games of the season, the Mets have a 2.60 ERA, the best team ERA of any team in baseball. And the Mets starting pitching staff has perhaps been the biggest reason for this.

The New York Knicks had every chance to close out their opening-round series against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. But unfortunately for Knicks fans, they weren’t able to do so. And at least part of the blame for the loss has quickly been given to Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau.
Ohio State narrows down starting quarterback search

2 weeks ago | thecomeback.com | Reice Shipley

The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to start their journey as the defending National Champions heading into the 2025 college football season. But going into this offseason, there are far more pressing questions pertaining to the quarterback position than the program had last year. Will Howard earned the starting quarterback position pretty early into spring camp last year, which would of course end up working out in a major way both for Howard individually and for Ohio State as a team.
