Cleveland Browns sign Kareem Hunt

The Cleveland Browns are signing running back Kareem Hunt, the team announced Wednesday.

Hunt's new pact with the team is a one-year deal worth up to $4 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Hunt spent 2019-22 with the club, though he was not re-signed after his contract expired following the 2022 season. He rejoins the team after starting tailback Nick Chubbwas lost for the year due to a knee injury.

Chubb took a direct hit to his left knee from Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick on Monday night and is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery. The team placed Chubb on injured reserve Wednesday.

Nick Chubb season ending knee surgery

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is believed to have suffered a season-ending knee injury that includes multiple torn ligaments in Monday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Chubb was carted off the field following a violent collision with Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrickearly in the second quarter. He was in visible pain and the ESPN broadcast declined to show a replay of the hit due to the gruesome nature.

The star tailback is expected to have tests to confirm the severity of the injury Tuesday, Rapoport adds.

Patrick Mahomes agrees to 4 Year $210M

The Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have agreed on a restructured deal that will guarantee him $210.6 million between 2023 and 2026, his agency told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

It's the most money in NFL history guaranteed over a four-year span. The two sides will revisit the deal after the 2026 season, Schefter adds.

Red Sox fire Chaim Bloom

The Boston Red Sox fired chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom.

"While parting ways is not taken lightly, today signals a new direction for our club," Red Sox owner John Henry said in a statement.

The Red Sox hired Bloom in October 2019. Boston made the postseason once during Bloom's tenure, reaching the ALCS before falling to the Houston Astros in 2021.

Josh Allen struggles

After Aaron Rodgers went down with an Achilles tendon injury early in his debut with the New York Jets, the Buffalo Bills seemingly had an easy path to a season-opening win at MetLife Stadium.

They didn't count on Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen messing things up with one of his worst games in the NFL, turning the ball over four times.

Allen threw three interceptions and lost a fumble late in the fourth quarter of what became a 22-16 overtime loss. The Jets walked it off thanks to a 65-yard punt return by rookie Xavier Gipson.

Aaron Rodgers out for the Season

An MRI confirmed New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss the rest of the season due to a torn left Achilles tendon, sources told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The four-time MVP suffered the injury in Monday night's win over the Buffalo Bills. He was carted off from his Jets debut after a sack during New York's opening drive.

Following New York's overtime victory, head coach Robert Saleh said the team will roll with former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson as its starter for the rest of the year.

Will Mike Trout request trade

The Los Angeles Angels could be in for a franchise-altering offseason. 

With Shohei Ohtani set to become a free agent, the club is open to moving outfielder Mike Trout in the event he requests a trade, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports.

Selected by the Angels with the 25th pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, Trout has spent his entire 13-year career in Anaheim. He's won three AL MVP awards but has only appeared in three postseason games and none since 2014.

Trout signed a 12-year, $430-million extension in 2019. He's signed through 2030 and is still owed roughly $260 million as of the start of next season.

Luis Rubiales suspended for kissing Jenni Hermoso

FIFA suspended Luis Rubiales as president of Spain's football federation on Saturday for kissing Women's World Cup player Jenni Hermoso on the lips, while even his close friend Jorge Vilda joined the tidal wave of criticism.

The move by world football's governing body was the latest development in a deepening row pitting Rubiales and the federation (RFEF) against Hermoso and her Spain teammates, which the players say has tarnished the glory of winning the World Cup in Australia last Sunday.

Phil Mickelson gambling on Ryder Cup

Phil Mickelson's gambling habits are no secret, but an excerpt in Golf Digest from Billy Walters' upcoming book "Gambler: Secrets from a Life at Risk" reveals just how serious things got.

Walters, one of the most successful sports bettors of all time, formed a gambling partnership with Mickelson for five years up until the spring of 2014.

Walters claims he received a call from Mickelson in September 2012 while the latter was set to compete in the 39th Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club. Mickelson was feeling extraordinarily confident that the U.S. team led by him and Tiger Woods could beat the European squad after losing in 2010. Walters says Mickelson asked him to place a $400,000 bet for him on the American team to win.

"Have you lost your fucking mind?" Walters remembers telling him. "Don't you remember what happened to Pete Rose? You're seen as a modern-day Arnold Palmer. You'd risk all that for this? I want no part of it."

"Alright, alright," Mickelson replied, according to Walters.

Aaron Boone acts like an idiot and gets ejected

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he felt embarrassed by his theatrical display during an argument with plate umpire Laz Diaz after he was ejected during New York's loss to the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

Boone said he talked to MLB Senior Vice President of On-Field Operations Mike Hill on Tuesday. He would not reveal details of their discussion.

"I don't like doing that," Boone said. "But I also felt like I needed to fight with what was happening in that game."
