Buccaneers' Receivers Room Ranks Tops in NFL
Buccaneers' Receivers Room Ranks Tops in NFL originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers employed one of the best wide receiver rooms in 2024, and went out this offseason and made it even better.

That's music to the ears of quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Mayfield is coming off two consecutive career passing seasons after being written off by the league, and will now have Ohio State standout Emeka Egbuka to throw to in addition to names like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rachaad White, Bucky Irving, Jalen McMillan and Cade Otton.
Pro Football Focus does what it does best, and ranked the wide receiver rooms in the NFL ahead of the 2025 season. While the Bucs tied with the Eagles for the top score, it gave the nod to the Eagles for some dumb reason. We'll ignore that part.
"It was a coin flip between the Buccaneers and the Eagles for the top spot, as they earned equal 79.1 PFF receiving grades in 2024," Trevor Sikkema wrote. "But Philadelphia's top pass-catching options all placed ahead of their Tampa Bay counterparts in PFF's position rankings. The Buccaneers win the depth battle, though, as Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan and Rachaad White make for the deepest receiving corps in the NFL. Mike Evans (90.2), Chris Godwin (85.7) and Bucky Irving (90.5) were all top-15 players in PFF receiving grade among qualifiers at their positions in 2024."

The Bucs have all the offensive tools to be an elite unit in 2025 as long as new offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard can keep the momentum going that Dave Canales and Liam Coen gained before him.

‘No silver lining': Oilers fall to Panthers in second straight Stanley Cup final
SUNRISE - Connor McDavid stood in the same room in the bowels of Amerant Bank Arena. The Oilers superstar captain was — just as he had 12 months earlier — digesting a crushing loss that ended Edmonton's season. Down the hall and out on the ice, the Florida Panthers were once again hoisting the Stanley Cup. McDavid and his crestfallen teammates, meanwhile, were left with the same empty feeling. Sam Reinhart scored four goals, including two into the empty net, as Florida topped Edmonton 5-1 in Game 6 of the NHL title series to claim the franchise's second consecutive championship after beating the same opponent in the same building last June. 'Nobody quit, nobody threw the towel in, but they're a heck of a team,' said McDavid, his soon-to-be shorn playoff beard still in place. 'They're back-to-back Stanley Cup champions for a reason.' The Oilers fell behind the Panthers 3-0 in last year's final before battling back to force a Game 7 they would go onto lose 2-1. 'The takeaway is that we didn't win,' Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl said of this year's closing act. 'Nobody cares. Like, nobody cares. We didn't win … try again next year.' Edmonton, which was without heart-and-soul winger Zach Hyman after he suffered a dislocated wrist in the Western Conference final, dealt with a cluster of injuries toward the end of the regular season before falling behind the Los Angeles Kings 2-0 in the opening round. The Oilers responded with four straight victories to advance. They then eliminated the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars in five games apiece to set up a rematch with the Panthers. 'There's no silver lining to this,' Edmonton head coach Kris Knoblauch said. 'It's still heart-wrenching. It's very difficult to handle right now.' And while the Oilers again stumbled at the final hurdle, the players seemed more resigned to defeat than last year's soul-crushing end. 'We battled,' Draisaitl said. 'But we're not leaving here as winners.' Edmonton, which won Games 1 and 4 in overtime for the club's only victories in the series, didn't have an answer for Florida's relentless forecheck, and led for just under 34 minutes across the six games. 'It sucks. It's painful. It's not fun,' said Oilers defenceman Mattias Ekholm, who was victimized on the Panthers' first goal from Reinhart. 'Not, obviously, what we wanted.' Edmonton was outscored 13-4 in the opening period in the series — and 9-0 over the final four games — against Florida's grinding approach. 'They tilted the rink,' McDavid said. 'They were able to stay on top of us all over the place and we were never really able to generate any momentum up the ice. We kept (expletive) trying the same thing over and over again, banging our heads against the wall. 'Credit to them, they played well.' Knoblauch reflected on the group's resolve to push through following a run that not many on the outside saw coming after the club finished the regular season third in the Pacific Division. 'It hurts,' he said. 'We felt that we could have won it all. Getting so close last year and getting so close this year … a lot had fallen into place and it did very early in the playoffs. I'm very, very happy about the guys. They gave a tremendous effort. 'It's gonna be a long summer.' Edmonton goaltender Stuart Skinner, who got the start Tuesday after getting pulled in Game 4, said there are lessons to take forward. 'Show up better, react better to certain situations,' he said. 'We need to learn from this right away, right now. 'Letting it happen two times in a row is devastating.' Oilers forward Corey Perry has now been on the wrong end in five of the last six Cup finals. The 40-year-old, who plans to continue playing next season, lost with Dallas (2020), Montreal (2021), Tampa Bay (2022) and Edmonton (2024, 2025). 'He brought tears to my eyes,' said Skinner, who was consoled by Perry at the final buzzer. 'I keep that for my heart.' The Oilers will now turn their attention to another painful off-season knowing how close they were — and how tough the mountain is to climb. 'We're right there,' Ekholm said. 'We just need to get over that hump. We have a lot of the right pieces and the right characters in our room. It's very frustrating right now. I don't even know if I'm thinking straight. 'I hope we'll be back in the near future.' McDavid spoke about Edmonton's resolve in a challenging campaign that ended with a familiar feeling. 'We came together at the right time,' he said. 'We just found a way to get here.' The grind begins anew in September. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 17, 2025.

Stephen A. Smith Accuses Major U.S. City Of Being Unsafe
Stephen A. Smith Accuses Major U.S. City Of Being Unsafe originally appeared on The Spun. For the third time in just the past week, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith has gone viral in the NBA community. Roughly a week ago, Smith made headlines for calling out Tyrese Haliburton. This came after the Indiana Pacers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. By the time Game 4 came around, Smith received criticism for playing solitaire on his phone while at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Advertisement Fast forward to this Tuesday, and Smith is receiving pushback for suggesting an NBA city is unsafe for players. He made this comment during a "First Take" segment about Ja Morant's future with the Memphis Grizzlies. Smith claims NBA players have told him they don't feel safe in Memphis. "The people in Memphis, it's a great sports town, great fans, great people, but there's an element there where cats like Jimmy Butler and others don't feel like it's the safest environment," Smith said. "I'm talking to the local authorities in Memphis. You've got to clean some of that stuff up because it's dissuasive to NBA players. They have talked about it. I know, they've told me. That's all I'm saying." LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - FEBRUARY 08: Sports television personality Stephen A. Smith is seen on Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LVIII at the Mandalay Bay Convention Centeron February 08, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by)It's certainly possible players shared that information with Smith, we know for sure that Morant isn't one of his sources. Advertisement Earlier this afternoon, Morant called out Smith for dissing Memphis on national television. "Talkin bout the grizz more than the finals wit these [cap emoji] ahh sources," Morant wrote on X. "Instead of focusing on the performances we seen from jdub/shai , tj/siakam, how this series is going. we say sumn negative about a city/team on a national level." Smith has not yet replied to Morant's comments. Perhaps he's saving his response for Wednesday's episode of "First Take." Related: Stephen A.

Commanders Running Back Turns Heads In Important Offseason
Commanders Running Back Turns Heads In Important Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Throughout his three-year career with the Washington Commanders, running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been as dependable a player as the franchise could hope for. Advertisement The issue is that they may need more production than Robinson has given. The former third-round pick out of Alabama has recorded over 700 yards rushing in his first three seasons in the league and has averaged over four yards a carry in his career. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, though, Robinson knows he needs to do more than be a dependable player. He will need to excel in 2025 if he wants a lucrative extension. Or at least good enough to get him a nice contract on the open market. The good news for Washington is that Robinson's mindset has been clear. He has participated in off-season workouts while playing at a very high level. Advertisement "B-Rob's a guy who has played an incredibly high level," offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said on the team's website. "I thought early in the year when he was really healthy, he was what we expect him to be, and the focus this offseason has been great. "He knows what this year means to him and can mean to us when he plays at that level." Robinson knows he's sharing a backfield with Austin Ekeler. The two pose an intriguing attack for Washington's ground game and are one of the best duos in the league. Both will be free agents after this season, though. If Robinson or Ekeler want an extension, they must produce even more than last year. Robinson has gotten an early start in that regard.
