Our Raiders countdown to kickoff hits 92: Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
Our Raiders countdown to kickoff hits 92: Who wore it best and who's wearing it now We have reached 92 days until the Raiders kick off the 2025 NFL season. That means we take a look at the jersey... No. 92 Who's wearing it now: DT JJ Pegues Select in the sixth round of this year's draft out of Ole Miss. Though Pegues played defensive tackle all five years in college at Auburn and Mississippi, he added fullback to his resume, with 21 rushes for 69 yards and seven touchdowns last season. Who wore it best: DT Richard Seymour The three-time All Pro and three-time Super Bowl champion spent the final four seasons of his Hall of Fame career with the Raiders. He was looking for a new contract in New England and instead of giving it to him, they traded him to Oakland for a first round pick. In his four years in Oakland, Seymour made two Pro Bowls, had 18.5 sacks, and punched Ben Roethlisberger in the face. He was also a well-respected team leader. He was enshrined into the Hall of Fame in 2022, in his fifth year of eligibility.

All that Jazz: 'Electric' Chisholm Jr. talks new approach for Yankees
All that Jazz: 'Electric' Chisholm Jr. talks new approach for Yankees Show Caption Hide Caption CC Sabathia on entering the Hall of Fame and wearing a Yankees cap on his plaque CC Sabathia will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame this July and tells USA TODAY Sports why his plaque will feature him wearing a Yankees cap. Sports Seriously NEW YORK – Arriving at a less-is-more revelation, Jazz Chisholm Jr. believes he's found that next-level key to personal success. That means an easier swing, a steadier running gait, a calmer approach in the field. 'If I stay fundamentally sound at 70%, I'm a pretty good baseball player,'' said Chisholm, whose second straight three-hit night boosted the Yankees to a 9-6 victory Friday night. Chisholm's three-run homer and RBI single contributed to an early seven-run lead against the rival Boston Red Sox and starter Walker Buehler, knocked out after two innings. Of course, the last time Buehler was on the Stadium mound, he closed out the World Series clincher in Game 5 for the Los Angeles Dodgers. This time, the Yanks jumped Buehler for five first-inning runs – including Chisholm's three-run homer on an 0-2 changeup to straightaway center field and a two-run shot by Anthony Volpe. Volpe left the game shortly after being plunked on the left elbow, forcing home a second inning run; X-rays and a CT scan were negative, and Volpe feels he'll be available Saturday. Meanwhile, Chisholm is batting .500 (8-for-16) with two homers, six RBI and three stolen bases in four games since coming off the injured list due to a strained oblique. Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. at '70%' 'Electric is the only way to describe Jazz,'' said Yankees rookie starter Will Warren, who rebounded from a rough start last Saturday at Dodger Stadium by being more aggressive in the strike zone. As Chisholm reasons, 'you can be electric while being in control at the same time,'' though 'it's super challenging for me. The only thing I knew was how to go fast. 'Basically, I was Ricky Bobby. That's all I knew.'' Chisholm's new approach had its first light-bulb moment on April 29, the day he was injured at Baltimore – doubling to right despite three small tears to his oblique. Before his brief minor league rehab assignment began last week, Chisholm convened with the club's hitting coaches and reviewed video of his minor league days. 'The swing looked so effortless,'' and a plan was hatched to dial back in some respect – inspiring more contact, less swing and miss. '(At) 70%, you're one of the best out there,'' said Chisholm, quoting a conversation with assistant hitting coach Pat Roessler. 'At 100 percent, I might be dog crap. I was hitting .171 at 100 percent.'' Aaron Judge's take on Jazz Chisholm's approach 'It's really just about slowing everything down and taking a nice easy swing,'' said Judge. 'And that's what I felt like I saw tonight, even the homer to center field.'' Chisholm drove an 0-2 Buehler curveball an estimated 417 feet over the center field wall, a ball that just kept carrying in the warm, humid air. 'I'm looking forward to seeing more of that,'' Judge said of the at-bat that produced Chisholm's ninth homer of the year, in his 34th game. In his third time up, Chisholm rifled a single to center off a 1-0 changeup. 'Earlier I the season, I was pulling off that and hitting it foul or rolling over because I was trying to hit a home run,'' said Chisholm. 'I feel like a baseball player again.'' Maybe the 70-percent stuff sends a mixed message, so Chisholm emphasized, 'you can't be lackadaisical," but 'if I stay fundamentally sound at 70%, I'm a pretty good baseball player. "I really heard that all my life," Chisholm said. "I need to tone down the way I play."

Patrick Beverley Takes Shot at Former Pistons Star Over Hall of Fame Claim
Patrick Beverley Takes Shot at Former Pistons Star Over Hall of Fame Claim originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Blake Griffin is not the best NBA player of all time, although he was certainly one of the most exciting. While playing for the Los Angeles Clippers, he was the best dunker in the league, and when he was traded to the Detroit Pistons, he reinvented his game to be a modern stretch four. Advertisement With six All-Star appearances and five All-NBA nods, he was one of the best players of the 2010s, and even though he did not make it past the second round of the NBA playoffs, he has a solid Hall of Fame case. However, one of his former teammates doesn't think he deserves it. Feb 11, 2021; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (23) during the game against the Indiana Pacers at Little Caesars Arena© Tim Fuller-Imagn Images Patrick Beverley is one of the most outspoken NBA players of all time, and after starting a self-titled podcast, he has found the platform to express some of his more inflammatory takes. On a recent episode, he took a shot at Griffin, who was his teammate from 2017 to 2018 on the Clippers. 'People talk about Blake Griffin being in the Hall of Fame, and I'm looking like, how?" Beverley asked. "No discredit to Blake Griffin, but I'm looking like, how? I took the Clippers to the Western Conference Finals for the first time ever. Like, if I would've dunked more, does that mean I would've made the Hall of Fame?' Advertisement Now, one can quickly point out that Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, not Beverley, led the Clippers to the Conference Finals in 2021. During that playoff run, Beverley played solid defense, although he averaged only 4.9 points and 2.4 assists, usually coming off the bench. Alongside Chris Paul, Griffin was a centerpiece on the 'Lob City' Clippers, who were a staple in the playoffs. While Griffin is best known for his time in Los Angeles, his stint with the Pistons can't be discounted, as he made his final All-Star and All-NBA teams in 2019 with the Pistons, and became an outside shooting threat in the Motor City, while keeping the franchise afloat before their long rebuild.
