It is great to see the WNBA’s popularity soaring with the arrivals of stars like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardosa, and Rickea Jackson. These young talents, alongside established names like A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, and Arike Ogunbowale, have made the league must-watch entertainment. With the expansion to 14 teams by 2026, it’s clear that women’s basketball is finally getting the recognition it deserves. But while the league’s growth is a cause for celebration, a recent headline highlights a lingering challenge.

Leonard Fournette does not have an NFL home, but the free agent could find work in the coming weeks. The Indianapolis Colts recently brought the veteran in for a visit, and while the two sides have yet to come to terms, it shows at least one organization is interested in the former top-five pick and Super Bowl champion. As a vested veteran, teams won’t owe any guaranteed money to Fournette if he signs after Week 1, so don’t be surprised if he’s suiting up for a new team in Week 2.

For almost two decades, it seemed like LSU could get every position right except Quarterback. LSU’s offense was lacking, with a below-average offensive scheme and average Quarterbacks like Jordan Jefferson and Zach Mettenberger. However, since the historic season of the juggler Joe Burrow, the tide has shifted. LSU has had two top-three draft picks at Quarterback and potentially has another one in the wings.

The Orlando Magic have signed Mac McClung to a partially guaranteed contract, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania. A two-time Slam Dunk Contest winner, McClung went undrafted in 2021 after playing three seasons for Georgetown and Texas Tech. Since then, the Gate City native has put forth a mighty effort to break into the NBA. He’s signed training camp contracts, two-way contracts, and 10-day contracts, but he’s yet to stick on a roster.

Only three things are certain in life: Death, taxes, and the Los Angeles Angels overpaying for an All-Star free agent. The names of failed contracts the Angels have signed have become familiar to baseball fans everywhere. There were small deals that backfired like those of Matt Harvey, Jose Quintana, and Tim Lincecum. Next, were the mid-range signings that were incredible failures like Zack Cozart and Gary Matthews Jr. Maybe Justin Upton fits into that group too. Unfortunately for Angels fans, current Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon fits into the final group. The Angels should release Rendon instead of letting his final year or two play out like the next two players. These two epic failures saddled the organization with a reputation for bad free-agent signings. Rendon has only made that reputation grow. Therefore, the Angels should release star Anthony Rendon and continue their youth movement in 2025.
