2024 NFL Draft: Deion Sanders blasts media, critics for 'ridiculous' analysis of QB Michael Penix Jr.

2024 NFL Draft: Deion Sanders blasts media, critics for 'ridiculous' ...
Quick Glance: Deion Sanders Criticizes Media and Critics for 'Ridiculous' Analysis of QB Michael Penix Jr.
  • The coach of the Colorado team, Deion Sanders, is convinced that the former Washington quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., is not receiving enough attention as the 2024 NFL Draft approaches. On Wednesday, Sanders expressed a passionate message of support for Penix, just one day before the draft commences in Detroit.

  • Despite concerns about age and injuries, Penix is ranked 30th in the CBS Sports NFL Draft Prospect Rankings and is the fifth quarterback in the hierarchy behind Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and J.J. McCarthy. This placement still includes Penix in discussions for the first round.

  • The only 'average game' Sanders is likely referring to would be the College Football Playoff National Championship game last year, where Washington lost 34-13 to Michigan. In that game, the left-handed passer completed 27 of 51 passes for 251 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, marking an unremarkable end to an incredible two-year run with the Huskies.

  • Penix secured the second spot in the Heisman Trophy voting, leading in passing yards with 4,903 in 2023, and threw 36 touchdown passes while leading Washington to the Pac-12 title. Penix's 25-3 record as a starter for the Huskies is legendary for a team that had a 4-8 record the year before his arrival.

Quick Glance: Zach Wilson Trade Notes: Jets Deal QB to Broncos before 2024 NFL Draft
  • Nearly three years have passed since the New York Jets selected quarterback Zach Wilson as the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and are now officially trading the heavily criticized signal-caller to the Denver Broncos.

  • At the age of 24, Wilson has been available since the beginning of the 2024 offseason, with the team's general manager, Joe Douglas, openly stating the intention to relocate the former first-round pick.

  • In urgent need of quarterback reinforcements, the Broncos made significant roster moves by releasing veteran starter Russell Wilson before free agency and entering the draft with Jarrett Stidham leading the depth chart.

  • By signing journeyman Tyrod Taylor as Aaron Rodgers' primary backup earlier this offseason, the Jets effectively indicated the conclusion of Zach Wilson's tenure with the team.

Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt Doubles Down on Aaron Boone Ejection Debacle
Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
  • Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.

  • Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt warned Boone of an ejection after just five pitches if another word was said. A fan behind the dugout shouted something, leading Wendelstedt to toss Boone out of the game.

  • Boone's reactions, including pointing to the crowd, were captured on video. In one clip, Boone can be heard denying he said anything. Despite Wendelstedt's error in judgment, the ejection stood, making for a highly entertaining situation.

  • Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.

Who should Kentucky target to replace John Calipari? One name should top UK’s list

Who should Kentucky target to replace John Calipari? One name should top ...
Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari
  • John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.

  • The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.

  • Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.

  • This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.
