Soccer isn’t a major sport in the United States and often flies under the radar despite possessing a premier women’s team. Last night, the USWNT fell to Mexico in an upset that highlights just how much the rest of the world has caught up and the fork in the road where the program is. With the NFL Combine officially underway, it feels like football season is already here.

Now, after having to resort to the college ranks with UCLA as a coordinator for a gig, it may be time to accept that Eric Bieniemy’s biggest problem is himself. Russell Wilson also faces an uncertain future that may see him out of the AFC West, and he recently talked about his options and reports that his house is for sale. The Cincinnati Bengals have the most talented receiving corps in the league, but keeping it together is gonna be tough.

Closing out the week, the NFL dominates the final hour, resuming with the salary cap talk from Hour 2 regarding the NFL spending limit increasing $30 million this year over last year. One key signing already done this offseason is Matt Araiza (aka the Punt God) who is joining the Kansas City Chiefs after being wrongly accused in a scandal that caused the Buffalo Bills to cut him in 2022.

Hour 2 continues with the hardwood and recapping the action from Thursday night. In Washington, the Wizards now have Jordan Poole coming off the bench, but is it a demotion or a strategy? The Dallas Mavericks kept it rolling after the break collecting their 7th consecutive win, doing so over the Phoenix Suns.

Even though the NFL offseason has only just started, the League sure knows how to command attention. Amazon Prime has secured the broadcast rights to one of the Wild Card games this coming season in the same fashion that Peacock did this year.
