Browns have challenged Myles Garrett to become "a real leader of the team"
The Browns signed Myles Garrett to a four-year, $160 million extension in March that included $123.5 million guaranteed. They now expect more out of the edge rusher.
'What we've challenged Myles on is, by his practice habits, by his actions, etcetera, to become a real leader of the team,' Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said this week, via Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com. 'And he has said he'd do that and we're hopeful that he will be.'

On the field, the Browns have gotten everything they have wanted out of Garrett since they made him the No. 1 overall pick in 2017. He has seven double-digit sack seasons, 102.5 career sacks, a defensive player of the year nod, six Pro Bowls and four All-Pros.
He is headed toward a bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
But Jason Lloyd of TheAthletic.com reported after Garrett's extension that is is "well known within the Browns that Garrett is frequently late to the facility . . . [and] has skipped mandatory team activities on multiple occasions."
Nonetheless, the Browns never considered trading Garrett even after he requested a trade.
"We had a lot of conversations about it, and there was never serious thought to trade Myles," Haslam said. "What we know we have in Myles is a Hall of Famer. . . . These kind of situations are emotional. People say things, and you have to realize it's not just the player. There's an agent. There's an agency who are working that process behind the scenes, and they're really good at it. They're really effective at it. And we're just glad it worked out."

We hit 87 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We hit 87 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now We've reached 87 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 87 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 87 Who's wearing it now: TE Michael Mayer The Raiders traded up in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft to select Mayer at 35 overall. After a slow start, the Raiders were a bad team and found themselves in position to draft Brock Bowers, so they did. Instantly Mayer went from the guy they wanted bad enough to trade up to the top of the second round, to playing second fiddle to Bowers. Which, to be honest, if you are going to take a backseat to anyone, he's the guy who you can't really feel too bad about. Mayer enters his third season with 460 yards and two touchdowns on 48 catches. After missing six games last season to 'personal reasons' he returned and has settled into his role as the Raiders' number two tight end. He and Bowers have the potential to make for one of the better one-two punches at tight end in the league. Who wore it best: TE Dave Casper A Hall of Famer. One of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. The man of whom the legendary 'Ghost to the Post' play is named after. He went to five straight Pro Bowls from 1976-1980 with four straight All Pro nods in there as well. And the Raiders won two Super Bowls during that time. In 1977 -- a year the Raiders did not win the Super Bowl -- Casper had five touchdowns in two playoff games.

Judge is ripping this season and hitting .364 this month with nine hits through nine games. Judge hit .364 in May too, so he will need to step it up a little but a date with the Red Sox, Angels, Orioles, Reds, and Athletics over the next five series — I see a lot of hits coming for Judge, so I played the +1300 for .400 by the All-Star break and sprinkled +5500 for the season.'

Original S(t)ix and a $200M Museum of Greatness
Collectors, next week the Mantel team heads to NYC for Fanatics Fest. Will you be there? Consider yourselves all invited to our week of events with Bleecker Trading (just don't mention it to a very salty J.R. Fickle ). We'll be throwing trade nights, buying nights, hangouts with other collectors… as soon as the Fanatics show shuts down every night, we'll be heading over to Bleecker in the West Village to keep the party rolling. Advertisement Not in NYC? Keep your eyes on these pages, and we'll bring the sites and sounds of Fanatics Fest right to you. If you read the intro to this piece, you are well aware that Fanatics Fest returns June 20-22 to NYC's Javits Center. What you might not know is this year, Fanatics is adding a centerpiece that's bound to drop jaws: the 'Museum of Greatness,' a showcase of more than $200M in rare sports cards and memorabilia. The 10,500-square foot exhibit will include themed sections like Rising Stars and GOATs, and will feature grails like Shohei Ohtani's 2024 All-Star Game uniform, a LeBron James 2004-05 Topps Chrome Superfractor PSA 10, and a 1997 Fleer PMG Green Michael Jordan (estimated value: $8M). Also on display: the Victor Wembanyama Patch Logoman PSA 10 and more than 50 MLB Debut Patches, giving attendees a chance to see some of the greatest sports cards and collectibles in the world. Sue Bird is stepping into the curator role with 'Sue Bird's Dream Draft,' an eBay auction spotlighting WNBA memorabilia from legends like Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie to rising stars including Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The auction kicked off Tuesday and runs through June 17th, and includes autographed gear, rookie cards, and milestone artifacts, with some starting bids at only 97 cents, a nod to the W's 1997 launch. WNBA collectibles are surging, with eBay reporting a 650% surge in WNBA card sales since 2020, fueled by breakout stars like Clark. One of her rookie autos even cleared $366K back in March at Goldin, a record for women's sports cards. Pharrell Williams' auction house Joopiter is entering the sports collectibles market with a heavyweight: a 1986-87 Fleer PSA 9/10 Auto Michael Jordan rookie card. One of only nine cards signed by Jordan in a private, apparently uncompensated session at his exclusive Florida golf club, this is the highest-graded autographed Fleer rookie to hit the market. The card carries a $2M starting bid and could break records when bidding opens June 17, a big get for Joopiter's first sports card auction. A 43-inch wooden hockey stick, long forgotten in a Vermont umbrella stand, is now poised to fetch millions at Sotheby's. Dubbed the 'Morse Stick,' it was unknowingly preserved by a family for decades after being found in a closet in 1980. Believed to date back to the late 19th century, around the time of the first recognized ice hockey game, the stick bridges the evolution of shinny , ice polo , and modern hockey. Once appraised at $3.5M, it's considered one of the oldest known hockey sticks and a rare relic from the sport's formative years. This time, it's hitting the block with no reserve. Roman Anthony's MLB debut has lit a fire under the card market, with his 1st Bowman autos, once selling for just $45, now commanding nearly $1K for PSA 10s. In just the last three months, those cards have doubled in value, and over the last year, they've exploded by nearly 1,900%. Anthony's call-up, coupled with Wilyer Abreu's injury and a viral grand slam clip , created the perfect storm for sellers looking to capitalize. As usual, collectors rushed to eBay to list, and the window to sell at peak hype may be closing fast… unless, of course, the Roman reign is just getting started. Your collection deserves a community.
