It’s tough to gauge how impactful the results of the 2025 NFL Draft will be on Aaron Rodgers‘ NFL future. Over the past couple of months, since he was released from the New York Jets, three teams emerged as heavy contenders to be Rodgers’ next destination: New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, Minnesota Vikings.
We can say for sure the Giants are no longer an option, given they signed two veterans and drafted another quarterback. The Steelers made no moves at the position during the draft, paving the way for them to be the betting favorite. Then there’s the Vikings, who pulled off a trade for backup Sam Howell but still have a question mark at starter with 22-year-old JJ McCarthy coming off of a major injury. Minnesota theoretically closed the door on Rodgers, but it may still be open.

JJ McCarthy says he feels 110% and ready to start a football game
That door is closing very quickly, though, especially after McCarthy appeared on the Vikings’ practice field and talked to media members on Tuesday. McCarthy gave an update on his injury recovery status, while also brimming with confidence about his 2025 season outlook.
Overall, I feel 110 percent because I feel better than when I got hurt eight months ago… I know I’m ready to start. Because all the work that I put in and just the confidence in my skills and abilities. And just being able to do my job and simplify things to the best of my ability every single day.
McCarthy looked sharp in practice, too, linking up with Jordan Addison and other pass-catchers.
The 22-year-old has some relatively big shoes to fill, as Sam Darnold had a Pro Bowl season in 2024. But Darnold crumbled in some big moments, which led to Minnesota moving on from him. Given how quarterback-friendly Kevin O’Connell‘s system is, McCarthy is set up for success. It doesn’t hurt that he’s so confident he will succeed.
Meanwhile, Rodgers is practically down to just the Steelers as a realistic option for 2025. Their current starting quarterback is Mason Rudolph. Every other team seems to have a plan in place at signal-caller.

Froome shows for the first time the scars of his serious accident that almost cost him his life
Chris Froome, one of cycling's living legends, has shared with his followers the shocking aftermath of his latest accident, the most serious of his career. It happened in August, while he was training in France, when a bad gesture on the road led him to lose control, crash into a traffic sign and end up being evacuated by helicopter to the military hospital in Toulon. The estimated speed at the time of impact: about 50 kilometers per hour.Angel Reese becomes first pro athlete to walk Victoria's Secret runwayThe consequences were devastating: four broken ribs, a fractured vertebra, a collapsed lung and, most seriously, a ruptured pericardium, the membrane that surrounds the heart. A diagnosis that would have challenged even those who have never ridden a bicycle. But Froome, who turned 40 this year, has once again demonstrated his indomitable spirit.On […]

Fantasy Football: Understanding positional scarcity and volatility in dynasty leagues
Don't lean on the unstable running back position: Players like Jacory Croskey-Merritt are great for contending teams, but a rebuilding dynasty squad will want to consider that he could be sharing a backfield, buried on a depth chart or out of the league entirely in a few years. Always take shots at quarterback: Particularly in superflex leagues, you shouldn't be leaving a fantasy draft without taking a chance on at least one quarterback. But still be wary of signal-callers drafted outside of the first round. Estimated Reading Time: 9 minutes Not all positions are created equal — especially for fantasy football. Understanding volatility and scarcity is the difference between trading away tomorrow’s crown jewel and flipping fool’s gold. Running backs are the most volatile assets in fantasy, especially in dynasty leagues, where you’re trying to account for production several years […]
Assunção, no Paraguai, é escolhida como sede dos Jogos Pan-Americanos de 2031
A cidade de Assunção, no Paraguai, foi escolhida, nesta sexta-feira, como sede dos Jogos Pan-Americanos e Parapan-Americanos de 2031. A vencedora foi anunciada durante a Assembleia da Panam Sports, principal entidade do esporte olímpico das Américas, em Santiago, Chile, e derrotou a candidatura conjunta Rio-Niterói. Até a semana passada, a candidatura de Assunção era considerada a grande favorita, mas Rio-Niterói entrou forte na disputa. As cidades brasileiras apostavam no legado dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016, competição que ganhou terreno após o Pan do Rio, em 2007, para receberem os Jogos Pan-Americanos de 2031. Apesar disso, Assunção foi escolhida como sede após votação na Assembleia Geral da Panam Sports. Esta será a primeira vez que o Paraguai receberá os Jogos Pan-Americanos. Vale lembrar que a cidade foi derrotada para Lima (Peru), em 2024, na eleição para a sede dos Jogos de […]
