The streaming service announced on Wednesday that Cam Ward, Jayden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, and Joe Flacco will be featured on this edition of the show. The show will chronicle the quarterbacks' experiences during the 2025 season and will premiere on July 14. Each quarterback's storyline should have some interesting moments. Ward went through his rookie season with the Titans after being selected with the first pick of the draft while Daniels's much-anticipated second season with the Commanders was wiped out by injuries. Mayfield thrived early in the year, but he and the Buccaneers struggled later in a year that ended without a playoff berth. Flacco opened the season as the starter for the Browns, but was traded to the Bengals to fill in for the injured Joe Burrow. Burrow Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff, Patrick Mahomes, and Marcus Mariota were featured on the first two seasons of the show.

The Pistons have reached a multi-year agreement with Scripps Sports for WYMD-TV (Channel 20 in Detroit) to become the official lead broadcast home of the team starting with the 2026-27 preseason and continuing through the regular season. The games will be broadcast for free over the air, marking the first time since 2005 the the team will shift to a primarily local production and broadcast. There also will be a streaming solution, to be announced at a later date. “This move is for our fans," team owner Tom Gores said in a release. "They have been huge all season and throughout this playoff run. Their energy and support have lifted our team and helped fuel our resurgence. It’s a new era of Pistons basketball and we want to make sure that more people in Detroit and throughout Michigan can be part of the journey.” SHAWN WINDSOR: Detroit Pistons are ahead of schedule, but every data point is critical For fans, it means the Pistons will be the lone local team to broadcast games over the air. Following the dissolution of FanDuel Sports Detroit, the Tigers are broadcasting on Detroit SportsNet , a new regional network owned by Ilitch Sports + Entertainment. The Red Wings will join them this fall. Detroit SportsNet subscriptions are priced at $19.99 per month or $189.99 per year for streaming, with games also airing on cable and satellite TV. Tigers games are currently produced by MLB's TV production arm. According to the team, the Pistons and Scripps Sports will also produce comprehensive gameday coverage, including pregame, in-game and postgame. They also will produce a a weekly half-hour Pistons show, along with other digital content. Longtime play-by-play announcer George Blaha and analyst Greg Kelser are expected to make the transition to the new broadcast partner. Blaha completed his 50th season with the Pistons this year and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September. It continues a partnership between the Pistons and Scrips Sports that began three season seasons ago, when they reached an agreement to air five of the Pistons' final nine regular season games on WMYD in March 2024 . The Pistons also broadcast five games on WMYD each in 2024-25 and 2025-26. The Pistons, Tigers and Red Wings all had previously aired on FanDuel Sports Detroit, whose parent company, Main Street Sports Group, is winding down operations after navigating financial difficulties. The Pistons initially moved from local TV to what was then known as Fox Sports Detroit alongside the Tigers and Red Wings beginning in 2008. Contact Omari Sankofa II at osankofa@freepress.com .

Burrell (6-foot-2, 195 pounds) is a four-star, top-100 national recruit on both Rivals and ESPN. He is an important addition as receiver is a position of emphasis in this class. Burrell is talented and was sought after by Notre Dame, Arizona State, Missouri and others. Many analysts favored the Chicago Catholic League product to choose Notre Dame throughout his recruitment. Michigan’s recruitment of him began with Ron Bellamy, who was the receivers coach at that time. Bellamy is now director of player personnel. New receivers coach Micah Simon and offensive coordinator Jason Beck stepped in and quickly picked up where Bellamy left off. Burrell took several unofficial visits to Michigan. His older sister Kali played soccer at Michigan and just graduated this spring. “The coaches are really close, like a family,” Burrell said. “And you can feel that. Plus it’s a great school in the Big Ten with great history and traditions.” Burrell has been on the recruiting radar since eighth grade.Last fall, as a junior, he caught 67 passes for 1,139 yards and 16 touchdowns. For his career, he has 142 receptions for 2,396 yards and 34 touchdowns. Michigan now has eight commitments in the 2027 class. Burrell is the first receiver commitment and first from Illinois. What's next for the class? In the immediate aftermath of Burrell’s commitment, attention turns to his teammate, four-star cornerback Tavares Harrington . Harrington is announcing his commitment this week and predictions favor Michigan for the 6-2, 190-pound prospect. The receiver class could also expand. Burrell starts it, but Michigan is going after in-state prospects Dakota Guerrant (Harper Woods) and Tre Britton (Belleville) intensely. Both Guerrant and Britton will take official visits to Michigan the weekend of June 19. Oregon is the competition for Guerrant while Britton is also considering Miami and Missouri.

Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . While the Boston Red Sox lost yesterday in brutal fashion, 2-1 to the Philadelphia Phillies in Fenway, they did learn something pretty important. Brayan Bello, their No. 4 pitcher in the rotation, might be getting his mojo back. Starting the season, Bello was one of, if not the worst pitcher in all of baseball. His confidence was shattered, and his spot in the rotation was definitely in question . However, after two starts where he came in after an opener, it seems Bello might be able to reclaim his position in the rotation, at least for now. Pre-opener Bello was disastrous © Thomas Shea-Imagn Images Before Bello's last two starts, he was a walking disaster, to say the least. In six starts, posted a 1-4 record, a 9.12 ERA, 17 Ks, and a WHIP of 2.260 over 25 innings pitched. He also was leading the MLB in earned runs as well. At one point, it was definitely almost a done deal replacing Bello with a guy like Payton Tolle . Even though it would make the starting rotation four lefties and one righty, Bello was just that bad. Post-opener Bello has been very good Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images That disaster class led the Sox to rely on an opener to help Bello work his way back . In two “starts” after coming in in the second inning, Bello has actually pitched really well. Now, in eight games, Bello has dropped his ERA to 6.46, and posted a record of 2-4, along with 29 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.744. Also, in the past two games , he has an ERA of 1.35, a BAA of .170, an 8.1 K/9, and a 1.77 FIP. What’s next for Bello? © Jeff Curry-Imagn Images If Bello can continue at this clip, he can keep his spot in the rotation. Hopefully, at one point he won’t need an opener, and can become the pitcher he was last season. If Bello and the Sox’ rotation can truly lock in, then they might have a chance at turning their season around.

Lamar Jackson has lived there for years. From the moment the Baltimore Ravens drafted him, the scrutiny began. Could he throw well enough? Could his style hold up? Could he win in January? Could he silence critics who somehow move the goalposts every time he accomplishes something extraordinary? At this point, pressure is practically part of his pregame uniform. That said, Troy Aikman recently suggested during an episode of ESPN's Get Up . When he said that Baltimore's QB1 may be feeling even more heat as he enters another 2026, no one batted an eyelash. Still, it wasn't what the Hall of Famer said as much as it was why he said it . “When you are a veteran quarterback, franchise quarterback, and you’ve had the years Lamar has had, now the coach leaves, you've got a first-time coach coming in, that puts a lot on the plate of the quarterback.” . @TroyAikman outlines his expectations for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens this season. pic.twitter.com/cs7u2GxuQs — Get Up (@GetUpESPN) May 12, 2026 That's actually a fair point. For years, whenever Baltimore came up short, some of the blame was placed elsewhere. John Harbaugh absorbed plenty of criticism. Offensive coordination became a recurring conversation. Interior offensive line questions lingered. Personnel decisions occasionally invited frustration. Lamar was scrutinized, sure, but he wasn't standing alone in the spotlight. That changes now. The spotlight on the Baltimore Ravens has shifted Jesse Minter is a first-time NFL head coach , and Declan Doyle is stepping into a major offensive role . Baltimore’s coaching reset naturally brings optimism, but it also removes familiar targets when frustration surfaces. If things go sideways, people may not immediately blame 'stale coaching.' Fair or not, they’ll look at the man affectionately known as 'Action' Jackson. That’s the tax that starting NFL quarterbacks have to pay. Let’s not pretend Jackson suddenly has something to prove as an individual player. He’s already a two-time MVP. He remains one of football’s most dynamic offensive weapons. Baltimore didn’t spend this offseason trying to fix the quarterback. They spent it trying to eliminate obstacles around him, and bang out a new extension, of course. Trey Hendrickson's addition improves the defense . On the offensive side of the ball, Vega Ioane's selection strengthens the trenches . Derrick Henry remains Derrick Henry. Zay Flowers continues ascending. This roster screams 'contender.' Which is exactly why Aikman’s point lands because when excuses disappear, expectations rise. In Baltimore, the conversation surrounding Lamar Jackson may no longer be about whether he’s great. That debate ended years ago. Now, it’s about whether this version of the Ravens can finally finish what previous versions could not.

They have made some key additions at the assistant spots while retaining a few others. On Wednesday, a report from Inside Carolina suggests they are making another hire with the addition of Ryan Tibaldi. The outlet is reporting that there was interest in Tibaldi last week and that he's on campus as they are finalizing a deal for him: Bryan Tibaldi, who brings a blend of NBA and high‑major college experience, will become the fourth assistant coach on Malone’s coach staff, multiple sources familiar with the process have confirmed to Inside Carolina. IC first reported that Tibaldi was in town to interview for an assistant coach position last week. The 41-year-old Tibaldi has experience at both the college and NBA levels. He spent last season at Providence under Kim English but before that spent six years in the NBA. He provides some valuable experience to Malone's staff as an assistant.

Why Mets' star catcher is landing on IL What happened to Francisco Alvarez? Why Mets' star catcher is landing on IL originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The New York Mets have had a rough 2026 season, and despite their big win over the Detroit Tigers , things aren't getting any better. Francisco Alvarez, the Mets' star catcher, left the game early due to an injury, and there was palpable fear he'd miss some time. And according to Will Sammon of The Athletic , the Mets are making an unfortunate roster move with Alvarez, placing him on the injured list with a tough injury. Why Mets are placing Francisco Alvarez on IL "The Mets put Francisco Alvarez on the injured list because of a right meniscus tear," Sammon reports on Wednesday. This injury is a tough blow for the Mets and Alvarez, as this knee issue, following an MRI, signals that he will miss a lot of time this season. He should be able to return in around six or so weeks, but it doesn't change the fact that Alvarez will be down for a while this season. MORE : 75% of Mets' infielders named among biggest disappointments in MLB at their positions He was hitting .241 with four homers and 10 RBIs in 37 games played and 112 at-bats this season. His .710 OPS, while nothing outrageously good, was the third-best among Mets hitters with at least 50 at-bats this season behind MJ Melendez and Juan Soto. This is a tough blow for the Mets, as they're now going to be without their star catcher for quite some time this season. Luis Torrens will get plenty of work, while the catcher position is now one the Mets should explore adding to by way of trade or free agency.

To reach the playoffs, a team typically needs a minimum of 16 points to guarantee a spot. However, with the current 10-team format and 14 league matches per team, 14 points can sometimes suffice if the NRR is superior. As of May 14, 2026, here is the detailed breakdown of RCB's playoff qualification scenarios: 1. If RCB win one out of two matches (18 Points) Target: Win 1 of the remaining 2 matches. Result: 18 points. Probability: High Qualification Chance. Finishing on 18 points will most definitely guarantee a top-four finish. 2. Elimination Mark Threshold: Lose both matches. If RCB loses both games, their maximum possible points will be 16. They can still qualify due to a superior NRR unless they suffer heavy defeats in the remaining games.

With players like Aaron Judge and Kyle Schwarber having typical slugger seasons, there are a few players for whom it might be getting a little late early when it comes to not seeing the usual production we’re used to. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at some players they’re starting to get a little concerned about and try to predict which ones could have a decent rebound. Can guys like Fernando Tatis Jr., Cal Raleigh and Bo Bichette figure it out at the plate and return to form or are they in for what could be a very long season? Later, Jake and Jordan welcome Miami Marlins slugger Liam Hicks to the show as he talks about the adjustments he made at the plate in the offseason that are paying off for him this year, what it’s like having pitches called from the dugout and the strategy the team uses for the ABS.
