With the change at quarterback, the 2024 season marks the beginning of a new era for the Minnesota Vikings. While early signs point to veteran quarterback Sam Darnold beginning the year as the starting quarterback, rookie first-round pick J.J. McCarthy is the Vikings’ future at the position. When McCarthy eventually takes over, he will inherit an offense with strong infrastructure, featuring skill position players like wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, tight end T.J. Hockenson, and running back Aaron Jones. The offensive line boasts two elite tackles in Brain O’Neil and Christian Darrisaw, a serviceable center in Garrett Bradberry, and a decent left guard in Dalton Risner. Heading into the season, third-year right guard Ed Ingram has the most to prove on the offensive line. Due to the pressure on Ingram this season, David Kenyon from Bleacher Report considers him a bust candidate for the Vikings’ offensive line.

Ohio State Basketball has long been a staple of the Big Ten, but they have struggled to stay near the league’s top for nearly a decade. They have had promising seasons go wrong, while also having seasons where they have outdone expectations. That was the story in 2023-24. The Buckeyes decided 25 games into the season that it was time to make a coaching change. So Chris Holtmann who had been at the helm for seven seasons was let go. His run included four NCAA tournament births during his tenure.

Gary Trent Jr. will be playing the 2024-25 season with the Milwaukee Bucks. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is reporting that Trent Jr. is joining the team on a one-year deal. The 25-year-old was seen as one of the best free agents remaining prior to being signed today. Since Milwaukee is operating over the second tax apron, they can only offer minimum-salary contracts. It is somewhat surprising that Trent Jr. is accepting that offer, but he will enter free agency again next offseason.

Shea Theodore has been a fantastic defenceman since coming to the Vegas Golden Knights for their inaugural season. Including his time with the Anaheim Ducks, Theodore has 235 assists and 306 points through 497 career NHL regular season games. Moreover, he was one of the few bright spots on the Golden Knights blueline last season. He’s a player that one can absolutely see with their own statue outside the Fortress a decade from now. But an article from Sports Illustrated over the weekend brought up once again the elephant in the room for the Golden Knights, their salary cap situation.

When a top three overall recruit in the country signs on to play Kentucky basketball, everyone thinks high draft pick. That wasn’t the case for former blue-chip recruit Justin Edwards. Edwards was on the wrong side of history when he became the first top-three recruit to go undrafted in the 2024 NBA draft. This is even more daunting when considering the 2024 NBA draft class was widely regarded as weak. In Edward’s mind though, all this was a mistake. In an interview with Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Edwards reportedly stated,

The Los Angeles Chargers cornerbacks went into a state of rebuild this off-season. The J.C. Jackson saga ended in flames as he got traded mid-season. Then Michael Davis, one of the two remaining starters, was allowed to walk this past off-season. That left Asante Samuel Jr and slot corner Ja’Sir Taylor… and not much else. Some new additions were going to have to be made. And while that did happen, questions still remain going into training camp/the preseason. Namely: who is starting opposite Samuel Jr?

The Orioles head into the All-Star break in first place in the American League East. However, moves must be made for them to remain there. Coming off an Incredible 2023 season, the Orioles had big expectations. They have certainly met them, posting a 58-38 record in the first half of the 2024 season. That puts them tied for the second-most wins in all of the MLB. But recently, the Orioles have struggled. In their last ten games before the break, the Orioles went 3-7. Something is not working, and changes need to be made. The Orioles must make a trade, a callup, and send someone to the bench more often.

After all, even with Thompson, the Warriors struggled throughout 2023-24. By the end of it, Golden State had lost a bit of its gleam, their empire crumbling as the world watched.
