Performing in front of thousands at the house of the New York Giants, country singer Zach Bryan made a bold choice during one of his songs.
The famous Philadelphia Eagles fan snuck in a "Go Birds."
Since MetLife Stadium isn't located too far away from most Eagles fans, there's a good chance a notable chunk of fans in attendance appreciated the troll job. Still, for Bryan, it was a risky move.

Packers open training camp with a new mindset: Urgency and accountability
With Green Bay Packers training camp officially starting on Wednesday, the team is preparing for the 2025 season with urgency and accountability at the forefront of everyone's mind. On the heels of a disappointing postseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, general manager Brian Gutekunst made it clear back in January that urgency must be a greater part of the culture moving forward. "I think, for me, the thing that's been on my mind as we've concluded this season is we need to continue to ramp up our sense of urgency," Gutekunst said. "These opportunities don't come (very often). The life of a player in the National Football League is not very long. We've got a bunch of good guys in that locker room, got a bunch of talented guys in that locker room, and yeah, I think it's time that we start competing for championships, right?" When you're affectionately referred to as Titletown, championships are the standard, and expectations are high for this version of the Packers. The roster is loaded with young talent on both sides of the ball, with several veterans ready to take charge. There's only been one practice, but one of those veterans is already noticing a difference. "The intensity is definitely here, it's definitely up," said running back Josh Jacobs. "We didn't like what we did last year, so we all feel that in this building. You can feel it—the guys on defense flying around from the d-line to the safeties, everybody. Guys on offense, we're pushing each other to finish." Jacobs certainly lived up to the standard with his play last season. In his first year in Green Bay, he rushed for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns, both top-five marks in franchise history and top-six in the league. But even when Jacobs is shouldering the load on offense, he embraces leadership just as seriously, even if it means being unapologetically direct. "One thing about being a leader, it's not always easy, and it's not always doing what's comfortable," he said. "Sometimes you got to ruffle feathers, sometimes you got to hold people accountable. That's something I try to do, I try to say the things that people are afraid to say." The Packers were too afraid to admit it, but last season clearly wasn't their year. They dropped two games to divisional opponents to close out the regular season before getting outmatched by the eventual Super Bowl champions. Falling short of expectations again didn't sit well with tight end Tucker Kraft, who spoke candidly on locker cleanout day. "As a team, we need to wake up," Kraft said. "Everyone talks about how we're not ok with just making the playoffs, but we have yet to walk the walk. Going forward, I'm going to embrace everything that I've put into this game and take on a little bit more of a leadership role—try to get people on the same wavelength that I'm on. I feel like I have a lot to offer in that aspect." If Kraft can take that next step in Year 3, it would be a welcome development. This team needs leaders who set the tone and speak the hard truths. Jacobs agrees that the Packers walking the walk and not just talking the talk will allow them to go from a good team to a great team. "I feel like the greatest teams are the most closest, but also the teams that hold each other the most accountable, so that's what we try to do," said Jacobs. "We're trying to set the standard high and I feel like to be able to do what we want to do, what we say we want to do, we've got to live what we sell."

Which team has the best chance to go from worst to first in NFL in 2025?
A team going from worst to first in the division is nearly an annual occurrence in the NFL. With last-place teams getting advantages like favorable schedules and higher draft picks, there have been 25 teams since the 2002 realignment that followed up a last-place finish with a division title the following year. While no team pulled off the trick last season, it had happened least once in each of the previous four seasons. Perhaps no team is better positioned to do it this season than the San Francisco 49ers , who followed up a Super Bowl loss in the 2023 season with a 6-10 last-place finish in 2024. The Niners were done in by a string of injuries to key players and now head into the 2025 season with the weakest projected schedule thanks in part to three games against fellow last-place teams Chicago, the New York Giants and Cleveland. Here's a look at the contenders based on their odds to finish first from BetMGM Sportsbook: San Francisco 49ers BetMGM odds to win division: +165. Reason for optimism: The 49ers still have star power with players like Fred Warner , George Kittle , Nick Bosa, Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams and one of the top offensive coaches in the game in Kyle Shanahan. With the last-place schedule and a rotation that includes eight games against the weaker South divisions, the Niners are favored to win the NFC West. Reason for pessimism: San Francisco let several defensive starters leave in the offseason as part of a movement to get cheaper and younger. But if their rookie class can't step in and contribute immediately, the defense could have some holes even with the return of coordinator Robert Saleh . New England Patriots BetMGM odds to win division: +475. Reason for optimism: QB Drake Maye showed flashes as a rookie and should get a boost in Year 2 with a better coaching staff led by Mike Vrabel and coordinator Josh McDaniels. Reason for pessimism: Maye still has very little support even after the offseason acquisitions of rookie lineman Will Campbell and veteran receiver Stefon Diggs. Chicago Bears BetMGM odds to win division: +550. Reason for optimism: The Bears brought in the most highly sought after coaching candidate when Ben Johnson was hired after a strong run as offensive coordinator in Detroit. They also upgraded the interior of the offensive line by acquiring Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman and Jonah Jackson in the offseason to help second-year QB Caleb Williams. Reason for pessimism: Chicago is in a division with three returning playoff teams and has one of the more difficult schedules in the NFL. If Williams' struggles as a rookie were more about holding onto the ball too long instead of the surrounding environment, the upgrades might not be enough. Tennessee Titans BetMGM odds to win division: +800. Reason for optimism: Last year's struggles delivered Tennessee the No. 1 overall pick. QB Cam Ward brings his playmaking ability to Tennessee and should be helped by an improved offensive line following the additions of Dan Moore and Kevin Zeitler and anticipated improvement from recent first-rounders JC Latham and Kevin Zeitler. Reason for pessimism: Ward doesn't have a strong group of pass catchers even after the signing of veteran Tyler Lockett and Tennessee hasn't done much to upgrade a defense that allowed 27.1 points per game last season. New Orleans Saints BetMGM odds to win division: +1,300. Reason for optimism: The offense could get a boost if first-round tackle Kelvin Banks can step in immediately and receivers Chris Olave and Rasheed Shaheed are healthy. Reason for pessimism: New Orleans has uncertainty at quarterback after Derek Carr's retirement and is counting on either second-round rookie Tyler Shough or 2024 fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler to perform at a high enough level to compete. Las Vegas Raiders BetMGM odds to win division: +1,500. Reason for optimism: Perhaps no team upgraded at quarterback and head coach as much as the Raiders with Pete Carroll replacing Antonio Pierce at coach and Geno Smith coming in at quarterback after a platoon of Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell. The offense under new coordinator Chip Kelly could be intriguing with record-setting second-year tight end Brock Bowers and rookie running back Ashton Jeanty. Reason for pessimism: Las Vegas is in a division that had three playoff teams last season, making it a difficult proposition to climb too high in the standings. There are major questions in the secondary that could prove fatal in a division with Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Bo Nix. New York Giants BetMGM odds to win division: +2,800. Reason for optimism: The Giants should have one of the top defensive lines with No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter joining Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. The return of left tackle Andrew Thomas after he missed 11 games last season should help boost the offense under new quarterback Russell Wilson . Reason for pessimism: While Wilson may be an upgrade at quarterback, his play has fallen significantly since leaving Seattle following the 2021 season. New York traded up to draft Jaxson Dart in the first round but he might not be ready to take over as a rookie on a team that still has many holes on offense. Cleveland Browns BetMGM odds to win division: +3,000. Reason for optimism: The Browns feature one of the game's top defensive players in four-time All-Pro Myles Garrett after he got a new contract last season and Kevin Stefanski has won AP Coach of the Year twice in five seasons with Cleveland. Reason for pessimism: Cleveland is still searching for a QB three years after trading for Deshaun Watson. Veteran Joe Flacco , Kenny Pickett and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders are all in the mix but none provide immediate hope for success. ___ AP NFL:

Jets QB options: Kirk Cousins, Carson Wentz among choices after Justin Fields injury
Playing quarterback for the New York Jets isn't for the faint of heart. Justin Fields learned that the hard way on Thursday morning. The quarterback was carted off the field during the team's second practice of training camp, which head coach Aaron Glenn later revealed to be a toe injury. Glenn didn't know the severity of the issue, so it's unclear how much time Fields will miss – if any. While Jets fans can seemingly breathe a sigh of relief for now, it's the unfortunate reminder of just how fragile an NFL season can be. It's been over seven months since the Jets played a football game that counted in the standings and the next season could've ended in the blink of an eye with a bad injury to the wrong player. In our fast-paced world, people will undoubtedly wonder what comes next. Whether Fields has to miss time or not, it's important to evaluate the options that are available if the quarterback will be forced out of action for any length of time. Jets QB options Taylor is the logical, and probably best, choice to step in for Fields. He has plenty of starting experience and signed to be the Jets' backup ahead of the 2024 season. As the clear QB2 on the depth chart, Taylor should get the first crack at the job. Behind Taylor on the depth chart are unproven players Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook. Martinez has only spent time in the NFL as a camp body and practice squad passer. Cook was signed as an undrafted free agent this offseason. There could be some bad blood between Cousins and the Jets, even though the old front office and coaching staff are no longer employed by the team. It's unclear whether they would actually pursue this option, but Cousins is the best quarterback that could be available via trade. There's a lot of money on the table for the guy that just signed with the Atlanta Falcons last offseason, however, and pressing this button may be a bit premature. The best of the free agent quarterback options, Wentz is far removed from his days of being an MVP candidate with the Philadelphia Eagles. While he didn't play in the New York market, he is familiar with the region thanks to his time with the Birds and comes with plenty of starting experience. Serving as the backup for Patrick Mahomes in 2024 is an added bonus and maybe he can recapture the magic that made him a tantalizing talent early in his career. Conventional wisdom suggests that the Jets and Giants wouldn't make a trade given their status as roommates. However, these teams have done business before as the Jets dealt Leonard Williams to the Giants in 2019. Winston is already relegated to a backup role behind Russell Wilson for Big Blue and Jaxson Dart is waiting in the wings. The Giants could benefit from cleaning up their quarterback room and Winston is someone that has played plenty of football over the years. It's a move that would make sense for both sides.
