A tandem or by-committee rushing approach is more common than not these days. That sure seems to be the case in Washington. […]

Commanders running back Bill Croskey-Merritt had a solid rookie season, well beyond expectations for a seventh-round NFL draft pick taken No. 245 overall. Totaling 805 rushing yards at 4.6 per carry and eight touchdowns(!!) is solid for anyone entering the NFL, especially on an offense that struggled without oft-injured Jayden Daniels. That’s why what Croskey-Merritt said on Wednesday was somewhat surprising. “Being way […]

For the Washington Wizards, it can be fun to think about what trade offers are coming their way for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. To move back a spot, though, via a deal with the Utah Jazz, there'd better be a hefty chest of draft picks in return.
