Teddy Bridgewater won't coach HS alma mater, reportedly planning another NFL comeback

Bridgewater, 32, led the Miami Northwestern Bulls to the Florida Class 3A state championship last season and then unretired to join the Detroit Lions. He served as Jared Goff's backup and did not appear in a regular-season game.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Bridgewater is expected to visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday and sign there.
Last month, Bridgewater was suspended from Miami Northwestern after providing impermissible benefits to his players.
The suspension stemmed from a post Bridgewater put on Facebook on July 7 where he revealed he covered Uber rides, meals and recovery services for his players last season. He asked fans to donate and cover those expenses this year so they wouldn't have to come directly from his pocket.
That drew the attention of the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). An official with the FHSAA, Kelvin Richardson, told Rivals those allegations were sent to Miami Northwestern and that the FHSAA are working to gain more information.
Despite the ban, Bridgewater said he was not going anywhere and would "volunteer from the bleachers" like he'd done in the past.
Bridgewater played nine NFL seasons with six teams before retiring after 2023 season, which he spent with the Lions. He threw for 15,120 yards and 75 touchdowns in 79 career games after being a first-round pick out of Louisville in 2014.

Packers-Lions season opener draws top broadcast crew at CBS
The Green Bay Packers' season opener against the Detroit Lions will get the top broadcasting crew at CBS. The Week 1 showdown, which is scheduled for a 3:25 p.m. local kickoff time from Lambeau Field on Sunday, Sept. 7, will get Jim Nantz and Tony Romo in the booth and Tracy Wolfson on the sideline for CBS. Being the top game on CBS should mean a majority of the country gets to see Packers-Lions in Week 1. The only other competing game in the same time slot on CBS is Texans-Rams, another terrific matchup. Although the network only announced the first three weeks, Week 1 likely won't be the only time the Packers get the best from CBS in 2025. Matt LaFleur's team plays Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in the 3:25 p.m. time slot on CBS in Week 6 and the upstart Denver Broncos in the 3:25 p.m. time slot on CBS in Week 15.

Nolan Arenado headed to Florida to begin rehab assignment
Nolan Arenado headed to Florida to begin rehab assignment originally appeared on The Sporting News John Denton of offered an update earlier today on Cardinals star third baseman Nolan Arenado, who was placed on the 10-day injured list last Friday with a right shoulder strain. '#STLCards third baseman Nolan Arenado will report to Jupiter, Fla., on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, manager Oliver Marmol said,' wrote Denton on X. 'The club's thinking is that after his shoulder strengthens, he could soon appear in games there.' Jupiter is home to St. Louis' Single-A affiliate—the Palm Beach Cardinals. It's there that Arenado will begin working his way back to the Majors, where he's slashing .235/.294/.366 with 10 home runs and 41 RBI in 96 games this season. The Cardinals (57-58) are currently fighting for the last NL Wild Card spot, sitting 6.0 games behind the Mets after New York fell 4-1 to the Cleveland Guardians earlier today. St. Louis looks to earn its first series victory since July 8-10 against the Washington Nationals (2-1) with a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers today. Shohei Ohtani returned to the mound after an injury scare last week, opposing St. Louis lefty Matthew Liberatore. Despite a career-low .235 batting average, Arenado would surely provide a boost to a middling Cardinals team thanks to his prowess at third base, where he holds 10 Gold Glove Awards. He has a .266/.323/.456 slash line in 697 games since joining St. Louis in 2021, when he was traded by the Colorado Rockies after spending the first eight seasons of his career there (2013-2020).
