data-mm-id=”_tpgo64992″>Spencer Torkelson was selected by the Detroit Tigers with the top pick in the 2020 MLB Draft. The Arizona State first baseman (who was announced as a third baseman) has an odd profile for a guy at the top of the draft, given that he isn't a pitcher and doesn't play a premium defensive position. But Torkelson is such an offensive presence that he was the obvious pick for the Tigers at No. 1. An undrafted high schooler, Torkelson didn't have much of a profile when he enrolled at Arizona State. That changed during his freshman year when he mashed 25 home runs to lead Division I. He added a .320 batting average, 53 RBI and an OPS of 1.182. Then further cemented his status as one to watch by hitting seven home runs in the Cape Cod League at 18 years ol…

data-mm-id=”_tw87i5z39″>Jadeveon Clowney finally secured the bag. It was much smaller than what he anticipated and there weren't as many bags either. But he found a team and got paid millions. Now the hard work begins: Rehabbing the perception of him as a player so he gets the payday he feels he deserves. Clowney signed with the Tennessee Titans this weekend. It is a one-year deal worth $12-$15 million. That's about $8-$5 million less than the $20 million he was reportedly requesting per year when free agency began and around $110-$90 million less than the long-term contract he wanted. The massive pay cut must have been a sobering wakeup call for Clowney. He reportedly turned down better contract offers from the Browns and Seahawks this offseason believing a bigger deal would…

data-mm-id=”_bpijgp3vw”>The Seattle Seahawks staged an entertaining comeback on Sunday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings that left them at 5-0 on the season. Their last four games have all been one-score contests. It seems like the Pete Carroll / Russell Wilson era Seahawks are always in games that are close late and now we may know why. Here's the postgame scene from the Seattle locker room..@PeteCarroll has our whole team FIRED UP in the locker room ?#GoHawks x #MINvsSEA pic.twitter.com/FCpcLZSf92— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) October 12, 2020"Can you win the game in the first quarter?""Can you win the game in the second quarter?""Can you win the game in the third quarter?""Can you win the game in the fourth quarter?"It appear…

data-mm-id=”_2bdqjexxx”>Jay Gruden spent exactly one year as offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars after a failed stint as head coach of the Washington Football Team. He was relieved of his duties this offseason when the Jags announced they'd be hiring Darren Bevell as a part of Urban Meyer's new staff down in Florida. Faced with downtime for the first time in a long time, Gruden has wasted no time making headlines. Last week, he told the world that his scouting team would do all the work to prepare for the draft, then owner Daniel Snyder would stroll off his yacht and make the pick for the team. Now, in an interview with The Athletic, Gruden took a shot at the golden boy of today's broadcasting landscape, Tony Romo. Gruden told WFT reporter Ben Standig that…

data-mm-id=”_txy24phye”>Tiger Woods' drive on Riviera Country Club's 10th hole, a devilish and tantalizing 302-yard par-4, came to rest near the lip of a fairway bunker 51 yards from the cup. His second shot traveled barely half that. His third had too much pace to stop before tumbling into a greenside trap. Playing his first competitive round since last summer's Open, it appeared biggest the stamp he'd put on his favored Genesis Invitational would come off the course. And perhaps the evolution from green jackets to emeritus sweaters was further along and more real than those who hope for one last thrill would care admit. Sure, the 47-year-old stood in the same place he stood in 1992 as a 16-year-old with his whole life and ascent to incomparability before him and u…

data-mm-id=”_bl4bn7gd7″>The 2023 MLB trade deadline is less than a week away and teams have positioned themselves to make moves. In what could be one of the best sellers' markets in years, three teams appear ready to move as many players as possible. Here's a look at the three franchises that look prepared to cash in at the deadline. Chicago White SoxThe White Sox have been one of baseball's most disappointing teams this season. A team expected to compete for the AL Central title enters Tuesday night's action at 41-60. They're toast and a number of big names have underperformed. Luckily for Chicago, there's a chance to turn that negative into a positive by moving several pieces to replenish a weak farm system.Righty Lucas Giolito is almost certain to move.…

data-mm-id=”_kt5r5g55z”>The Minnesota Vikings were beating the Green Bay Packers handily in Week 8 at Lambeau Field. And if you needed a reminder of just how jarring the shift in power of the NFC North is this season, you need only look to this Lambeau Leap by Jordan Addison of the Vikings into the arms of visiting fans.

The touchdown came on a 20-yard pass from Kirk Cousins and put the Vikings up 23-3 midway through the third quarter. Addison celebrated by jumping into the arms of Vikings fans, a sight that was unfathomable b…
