After many years of passing on the opportunity, I can say I’ve “seen” former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr (and his All-Starr Band) live on tour. I put it in quotes because he rocked the Filene Center at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia, on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. If you’ve never sat on the lawn at […]

Every year, prospects slide down the board during the draft. This was evidenced by Shedeur Sanders’ slide to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The New York Jets’ newly installed braintrust executed a sensible if unspectacular debut draft in April. Head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey recognized the team’s most glaring needs and addressed them.

One thing I love about Love Island is that it is honestly unpredictable.
