Is pairing Stefon Diggs up with another elite receiver really a good move?
Stefon Diggs doesn’t need a great No. 2 in order for Buffalo’s offense to shine.

The Baltimore Orioles are a beautiful mess that makes absolutely zero sense
The Orioles are not a good team. They haven’t been a consistently great team since the late ’90s.

Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka have formed the best, dumbest rivalry in golf since Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin, and honestly I’m fully here for all of it.
