As Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the NFL is likely leaving an era behind.
Shough, who was born Sept. 28, 1999, was one of the oldest draft prospects this year and will probably be the last draft pick born in the ’90s.

At age 25, Shough is notably older than his fellow draftees, who are mostly 21 or 22 years old. Nearly all of the prospects were born in the 2000s, with Shough being the oldest player drafted in the first two days.
Shough’s age is the result of a meandering road to the NFL Draft: He spent seven seasons in college, starting at Oregon before transferring to Texas Tech for three seasons and finishing his collegiate career with one season at Louisville. Shough leaves college after picking up a number of season-ending injuries (broken collarbone, shoulder issues, broken leg) — plus four college degrees.
For added context: Shough was in the same quarterback recruiting class as Trevor Lawrence, who just finished his fourth season in the league.

Shough was not the oldest player in college football last season: There are other active players in college football who are around Shough’s age, including Miami tight end Cam McCormick, who is 27 and just completed his record ninth year of college football.
Despite Shough’s age and injuries, he is a solid athlete with strong accuracy (and a scene-stealing dog) and will have a decent amount to offer the Saints. Otherwise, it looks like the NFL will be leaving the ’90s behind after this year.

Braves’ new hitting coach knew the slug would come. It has, and it’s been needed
PHOENIX — The Atlanta Braves fired hitting coach Kevin Seitzer in the fall after a 10-season run that included seven division titles, a World Series championship in 2021 and a historically strong offense in 2023.They replaced him with Tim Hyers, and seven games into the season they were 0-7 with an offense that was the majors’ worst, batting .151 with a .485 OPS and 14 runs.AdvertisementIt would’ve been understandable if Hyers had begun breaking things out of frustration by the end of that seven-game season-opening trip, or maybe after his hitters struck out 19 times in an April 16 loss at Toronto that left the Braves with a 5-13 record and a .184 average with runners in scoring position.But he didn’t.“He’s the same dude every day, good or bad,” Braves first baseman Matt Olson said.The same during that 0-7 start, […]

Clippers trade one flashback for a worse one in a split second: Choose your PTSD
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Covering the LA Clippers for a decade has put me in a position to see some of the wildest finishes an NBA game can allow for. It has prepared me to always expect a series to require more games, not fewer. The past few years especially have made me feel like I have seen it all, while simultaneously being open to knowing that, like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible.AdvertisementThe Clippers have won only one playoff series in fewer than six games since arriving from San Diego in 1984. That came in 2006, the franchise’s first-ever postseason series at the arena formerly known as Staples Center.

Cruzeiro e Vasco fazem duelo de SAFs em reformulação e com diferença de gastos que não se vê na tabela
O Vasco visita o Cruzeiro às 16h em Uberlândia no duelo entre duas SAFs em reestruturação. Apesar do modelo de gestão distinto e de uma política de gastos bem diferente para a formação de equipes competitivas, os dois clubes amargam o meio da tabela do Brasileirão e sofrem com críticas de suas torcidas. Depois de o Vasco pedir recuperação judicial para aliviar as despesas para administrar a SAF — há um ano o clube está sob controle do associativo e do presidente Pedrinho, ainda sob liminar da Justiça do Rio contra a 777 Partners — a direção investiu de forma controlada em reforços, que somados aos atletas mais caros que já estavam no clube tentam cumprir bom papel.
