Could the Browns be tanking for Arch Manning? NFL execs debate

(Editor’s note: This is excerpted from Mike Sando’s story on execs assessing AFC teams’ free agency.)The Cleveland Browns’ new deal for Myles Garrett reset the market for pass rushers while upping the price Cincinnati paid for Ja’Marr Chase after the Bengals promised to make their receiver the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback.AdvertisementGiant as that move was, execs around the league remain most interested in what Cleveland has planned at quarterback.“It’s such a weak quarterback draft and free-agency class at the position,” one exec said. “Is there a temptation to suck for Arch Manning?”Not all are convinced the Browns will select a quarterback at No. 2 in the draft.“Are they drafting or tanking?” another exec asked. “If you are tanking, then you would be down to one year left on Deshaun (Watson). I’m sure they are like, ‘Hey, Joe Flacco got us to the playoffs […]

Chris Buescher on respectful racing, his distaste for roundabouts and more: 12 Questions

Each week, The Athletic asks the same 12 questions to a different race car driver. Up next: RFK Racing driver Chris Buescher, who last year was in contention to win the Darlington spring race until a late incident with Tyler Reddick took both of them out. The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Darlington this weekend, and Buescher currently ranks 11th in the standings.1. What was one of the first autographs you got as a kid and what do you remember about that moment?Jeremy McGrath. I got to go to a handful of motocross races growing up, and that was one of the first ones I remember having up in my room.

How 14-year-old Mak Whitham and a growing class of teens adapt to life in NWSL

Mckenna “Mak” Whitham has been here before. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with head coach Juan Carlos Amoros on the sideline of a pitch, the 14-year-old was readying to sprint onto Lumen Field. This time, though, the stoppage time sub for NJ/NY Gotham FC was destined to make NWSL history.When Whitham subbed on for Esther Gonzales in the 93rd minute against the Seattle Reign two weeks ago, earning her first regular season minutes since signing with Gotham last year, she became the youngest player to debut in an NWSL regular season match.Advertisement“Sure, it was an amazing moment,” Whitham told The Athletic. “But I’ve already had games, so it was no different than the ones before.”In February of last year, Whitham’s lone goal in the semifinals of the Women’s Cup punched Gotham’s ticket to the tournament’s final. In July, she celebrated her 14th birthday […]

2025 NFL mock draft: What coaches say about Ward, Sanders, Carter, Hunter and more

This is my fifth annual NFL mock draft based on all the intel I’ve gathered from speaking to dozens of college coaches and NFL sources during the past two months.My goal with this project is to provide unique insight directly from the eyes of rival coaches who have not only studied and scouted these prospects but game-planned for and then faced each of them — in many cases, more than once. Those sources, granted anonymity to speak freely about the prospects, know exactly what they’re dealing with and what they’ve tried to do against these players in real-game situations.(Note: An asterisk indicates a proposed trade.)Advertisement1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, MiamiI’ve heard since bowl season from folks inside the Miami program that the New York Giants love Ward, but the Titans have a big need too and won’t pass on […]

What makes Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland stand out in 2025 NFL Draft TE class?

Twenty years ago, odds are neither Tyler Warren nor Colston Loveland would’ve made it through college as a tight end.Warren, a 6-foot-5, 256-pound grizzly bear on wheels by way of Penn State, likely would’ve been told to figure out how to play defensive end or bulk up and try his hand inside as an offensive guard. Loveland, Michigan’s 6-5, 248-pound dynamo, probably would’ve been asked to lose weight and play X receiver.AdvertisementNo position in football has evolved more over the last decade or so than tight end. And though history certainly cautions against spending premium draft capital on the position, it’s important to note how much things have changed — and how many of the best athletes on the field now play that position.GO DEEPER2025 NFL Draft Big Board: Who are the top 100 prospects in this year’s class?Warren and […]

From Don Imus to Pat McAfee, talk show hosts face consequences of the digital world: Marchand

It is now nearly two decades to the day since everything changed for talk show hosts. WFAN and MSNBC’s shock jock Don Imus called the women’s Rutgers’ basketball team “nappy-headed hos” on April 4, 2007.Offensive language was not unusual for Imus, whose prominent broadcasting career was partly due to riling up listeners’ sensibilities. Top politicians and mainstream media members regularly appeared on Imus’ show, valuing the clout of his platform over its sometimes objectionable content.AdvertisementA decade before Imus’ 2007 firing from WFAN/MSNBC, Time Magazine named him one of the 25 most influential Americans. In the decade after, Imus’ show didn’t change, but the digital world did.For years, when reporters asked WFAN for tapes to verify comments they heard, its executives would claim there were none. Imus’ words would vanish into thin air after they were broadcast, a sound strategy to […]

Thanks to the transfer portal, this March’s Cinderella stories are players, not teams

To find Cinderella stories at this men’s Final Four, you have to look at the name on the back of the jersey rather than the front.For the second time in the history of the NCAA Tournament’s modern-day bracketing practices, all four top seeds advanced to the national semifinals. It will be No. 1 Florida vs. No. 1 Auburn and No. 1 Houston vs. No. 1 Duke on Saturday in the national semifinals, a perfect ending to a most chalky March Madness. Only one double-digit seed reached the Sweet 16, and all of the teams in the regional semifinals were from Power 4 conferences.AdvertisementWhere have you gone, Loyola Chicago and Sister Jean? Check the transfer portal.Two of the very best players competing for a championship this weekend in San Antonio — Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr. and Auburn’s Johni Broome — might […]

How two of the Canadiens’ exceptional brains converged to earn a critical win

MONTREAL – The diminishing effects of stress on the human brain are well documented. It can lead you to make poor decisions, to do things you otherwise would not.When Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine iced the puck with 30 seconds left and the goalie pulled and the Canadiens down a goal, it might have been a glaring example of those diminishing effects. That was a moment of high stress, considering where the Canadiens are in their season, how critical points in the standings are to them, and Laine made a poor decision.AdvertisementBut the Canadiens are blessed with two exceptional brains, and luckily they were on the ice at that moment.Several fans at Bell Centre began heading towards the exits, with a defensive zone draw coming and the Canadiens needing to navigate nearly 200 feet of ice to score when every […]

Is Mookie Betts or Shohei Ohtani the better athlete? Dodgers teammates weigh in

In one corner, standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 210 pounds, is Shohei Ohtani, hitter, pitcher and three-time unanimous MVP.In the other corner, standing 5-10 and weighing 175 pounds when fully nourished, is Mookie Betts, outfielder, infielder and one-time MVP.Which Los Angeles Dodgers superstar is the better athlete?AdvertisementThe Athletic posed the question to numerous Dodgers in recent weeks.“Oh man,” infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman said.“Oh God,” pitcher Tyler Glasnow said.“That’s a tough one,” third base coach Dino Ebel said.The beauty of the question is that even as baseball players, Ohtani and Betts are so different.Ohtani doesn’t play infield or outfield. Betts doesn’t pitch.Ohtani is stronger, with a career slugging percentage 50 points higher, and faster, with a sprint speed that ranked in the 70th percentile last season, compared to Betts in the 31st percentile (Surprisingly, the New York Yankees’ 220-pound catcher, Austin Wells, and […]
