Stern's Spotlight

The Eagles and 49ers both demonstrated vulnerability. Teams watching should take note of how they got beat by backup quarterbacks, as both squads are not the juggernaut we thought they were.

The Colorado Buffaloes debacle on Friday night was program-altering for Deion Sanders and company:

-Why EVERYONE needs to look themselves in the mirror after a horrible 2nd half.

-Load management for Travis Hunter.

-How to proceed forward with a tough schedule.

It's time for the Denver Broncos to execute a tank job after last night's embarrassing effort from Russell Wilson and company.

The Kansas City Chiefs didn't look much better, and seem to be playing second fiddle in the AFC to Miami.

The Major League Baseball postseason has been an unmitigated disaster so far:

-The noncompetitive nature of the Wild Card Round.

-Why it's unfair that lower seeds are crushing higher ones.

-What needs to be done to fix it.

Francisco Alvarez's breakout has been something to watch. Why it gives reason for optimism for the future amidst a tough season, and how the team manages him going forward.

Why going after Juan Soto would be a huge mistake for the Yankees.

The Jets being on Hard Knocks is a good thing BUT they need to prove they can win before anyone will believe it, plus why the Mets should go all in on trading for Ohtani, even though it's unlikely to happen.

A post-mortem on Steve Cohen's state of the organization press conference for the Mets. Why he made the right decision to speak publicly and how he set the tone for what this franchise will be about going forward.

The Mets are an a horrible funk as the recent stretch of losses has pilled on, Dalvin Cook needs to be getting more love, and this next stretch of games will make or break the Yankees season.

Who is to blame for the Mets struggles? The Yankees need one guy to get going if they're going to go on a run, and Victor Wembanyama needs to replicate Joel Embiid's success with the 76ers to justify his first overall selection.
