Following the 2025 NFL Draft, it was clear that the Cleveland Browns were going to have an epic, and probably chaotic, quarterback competition. With Deshaun Watson sidelined, the front office signed two veterans and two rookies to try to find an answer at the position.
Despite many wanting Shedeur Sanders to win the job outright, he was always behind the eight ball. Kenny Pickett looked like the favorite early in camp, but a hamstring injury halted his momentum. Dillon Gabriel simply isn’t ready. That left head coach Kevin Stefanski with only one real option: to name Joe Flacco the starting quarterback. He did just that on Monday, and the team can now prepare with their guy under center.
Shedeur Sanders admits that he copies Joe Flacco moves
Joe Flacco says his arm feels as good as ever heading into 2025
While Flacco may not be the flashy pick, he did get Browns fans excited with a comment on Tuesday. At 40 years old, Flacco said he feels as good as he ever has. That should be welcome news for Browns fans as the regular season nears.
It may have helped that the Browns decided to keep him on ice for a good portion of the summer. Flacco continually split reps with many other quarterbacks, and sat out the first two preseason games.
Back in 2023, Flacco found a lot of success under Stefanski in his first stint with the Browns. Many fans believed he should have been brought back as the starter in 2024, instead of Watson. Now, Flacco is getting the chance he deserves.

Fantasy football rankings 2025: Top sleepers, busts, breakouts by model that projected C.J. Stroud’s down year
Only in sports is 30 considered old, and that's especially the case for NFL running backs. A number of ball carriers are turning that age this year including Alvin Kamara, James Conner, Nick Chubb and Austin Ekeler. That fact alone will cause many to downgrade them in 2025 Fantasy football rankings. However, turning 30 didn't negatively affect Derrick Henry or Aaron Jones last year, so how much stock should you put in a running back's age when doing Fantasy football 2025 draft prep?In the case of Conner, he's getting better as he ages as he's increased his rushing yards in each of the last five years. The old adage of age just being a number has some merit with NFL running backs as recent performance should carry more weight. What other 2025 Fantasy football advice would serve you well ahead […]

Odvrácené mečboly s Běloruskou, divoká jízda proti Rusce. Mladé sparťanky jsou blízko hlavní soutěži US Open
Jednadvacetiletá Šalková (162. na světě) má v New Yorku poprvé nakročeno mezi 128 účastnic úvodní rundy. Ve dvouapůlhodinovém zápase s Běloruskou Kristinou Dmitrukovou (237.) předvedla spoustu chyb, ale i ohromnou vůli a neutuchající odvahu. Soupeřku nakonec udolala 6:3, 5:7, 7:6, když ve třetí sadě odvrátila čtyři mečboly.Ve chvílích, kdy se ocitla na hraně, se opatrnicky nestáhla a do míčků prala s ještě větší vervou. Ve dvanácté hře rozhodující sady, která trvala jedenáct minut a stav šedl osmkrát přes shodu, se to vyplatilo náramně.Mečbol č.1: Žádný zanďour. Šalková vyrazila na síť a na dvakrát zakončovala.Mečbol č.2: Přidalo se i štěstí. Míček z české rakety lízl síť a následoval nechytatelný forhend. Nebylo divu, že soupeřka pak třískla raketou o kurt.Mečbol č.3.: Šalková Dmitrukovou parádně rozběhala. Forhend, bekhend, forhend, nazdar!Mečbol č.4: Zchvácená Běloruska už nemohla a bekhend poslala ven z kurtu.Nezlomná Češka se pak v tie-breaku hraném do deseti bodů vyhrabala i ze stavu 1:4.

Mandatory Credit: David Butler II-Imagn Images The Minnesota Lynx are the only WNBA team to have clinched a playoff berth, and they are in a strong position to claim the No. 1 seed. The injury-plagued Indiana Fever are trying to stabilize their playoff prospects as they prepare to host the Lynx on Friday at Indianapolis in the first game of a home-and-home set over three days.

The Wirtz stat you might have missed on his Liverpool debut
“He got brought off on Friday night and probably was not at his absolute best but he still had some silky, lovely touches and when you watch him play, there is something there. I am already looking forward to seeing him next Monday.”Jamie Carragher's verdict on Florian Wirtz's Premier League debut reflected the fact that Liverpool's record signing did not register a goal or an assist in their chaotic 4-2 win over Bournemouth at Anfield. The champions entertained but looked vulnerable too. It raised concerns about Liverpool being too open, both in the full-back positions and due to the inclusion of Wirtz in support of a front three. Against Newcastle on Monday Night Football, Arne Slot might consider using the German in the front three instead.
