Since Rob Gronkowski announced his retirement on Sunday his football resume has made its rounds on Twitter. Three-time Super Bowl champion, four-time first team All-Pro,
Hard to believe it’s almost been two decades since Ichiro Suzuki made the trip from Japan to America to play for the Seattle Mariners. It’s almost just as unfathomable to imagine his career has officially come to an end, with his retirement becoming official as part of the Mariners’ 5-4 win over the Oakland A’s in Japan.
Like almost every video game craze, the Fortnite phenomenon that consumed America in 2018 was not limited to the youth. (News flash: adults like video games, too.)
At the time, Le’Veon Bell’s decision to forgo the 2018 season, thus leave $14 million dollars on the table, appeared to be one of the most irresponsible decisions made in professional sports.

Major League Baseball is finally trying to figure out ways to improve the game. It’s no small feat, with a good portion of the game’s fans being purists. In reality, though, baseball is riddled with change. The mound has been lowered before, then there’s the DH, not to mention the Wild Card system. Times change and the game has to on occasion too.
Generally speaking, when it comes to MLB free agency, if the New York Yankees are in on a player, it’s the Yankees vs. everyone else.
Wednesday night’s fiasco in the Duke-North Carolina game was what every young superstar fears. Zion Williamson’s near-serious injury is why many want athletes to have the option to forgo college and jump straight to the pros.
