On Headline Sports podcast with Jessica Kwong:

#1 The New York Jets Aaron Rogers still has it he threw four touchdown passes against the Miami Dolphins in a 32-20 on Sunday. Some had doubted Rogers ability to return but he turned it up a notch against a playoff bound team.

#2 After losing six straight games the Tennessee Titans have clinched for a shot at the No.1 NFL draft pick a quarterback. The Titans benched their starter Will Levis and can choose either one of the top college quarterbacks Colorado Buffaloes Shedeur Sanders or Miami’s Cam Ward that they can acquire in a draft or a trade.

#3 The New York Giants win last week over the Indianapolis Colts 45-33 on Sun Dec 29th cost the Giants a shot at the No.1 draft pick. With the win the Giants moved into third place at a shot for the top pick. The Giants could try and trade for Rogers if Rogers wants to stay in the number media market and play for the Giants who struggled all season.

#4 The Las Vegas Raiders after losing ten straight games and won two straight lost their chance at the No.1 draft pick slipping to six place in the top sweepstakes lottery. The Raiders are looking for a quarterback Minority owner and Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady who has a great relationship with Rogers might try and entice Rogers to consider coming to Vegas and continue his career there.

#5 The Indianapolis Colts who drafted quarterback Anthony Richardson as their overall fourth pick in 2023 has not been the kind of quarterback that they expected. The Colts have not been in the post season since 2020. They also fell short in 2021 when they went 9-8 with quarterback Carson Wentz and were no better in 2022 going 4-12-1 with quarterback Matt Ryan . The Colts are hoping that Rogers will consider coming to Indianapolis and help Richardson with some tips to help improve for the 2025 season.

Headline Sports podcast with Jessica Kwong: Oher’s conservation family is suing over blockbuster film; Rookie quarterback Richardson gets starting job with Colts; plus more

Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy stand on a street in New Orleans, Feb. 1, 2013. Oher, the former NFL tackle known for the movie “The Blind Side,” filed a petition Monday, Aug. 14, 2023, in a Tennessee probate court accusing Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy of lying to him by having him sign papers making them his conservators rather than his adoptive parents nearly two decades ago.

On Headline Sports podcast with Jessica:

#1 Attorney Martin Singer said in statement that the Tuohy family did not trick NFL star Michael Oher into conservatorship and made claims to all the proceeds from his blockbuster film “The Blind Side.” The Tuohy family said they opened their doors to Oher and treated him like a son. A petition says that the Tuohy’s and their two birth children get paid $225,000 each plus 2.5% of the movie’s defined proceeds.

#2 It took only one pre season game for the Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson to convince Colts head coach Shane Steichen that Richardson would be the Colts starter,  “The growth he’s shown, then, obviously, going into Buffalo, playing against a lot of their starters, he showed great signs of improvement. I like the things he did.” said Steichen. Richardson threw for 7-12 for 67 yards on Sat Aug 12th.

#3 Despite the Tampa Bay Rays big scoring extravaganza on Monday night in San Francisco the Rays are down three key players starting with Franco Wander who is on the restriction list for the rest of the Rays road trip for having a social media relationship with a 14 year old girl, then the Rays have seen injuries to Shane McClanahan who will have Tommy John surgery and outfielder Manuel Margot who will have surgery to remove bone chips in his right elbow. Margot is expected to miss up to a month and could be back during the last two weeks of the regular season.

#4 Mookiemania took a whole new twist when fan Giuseppe Mancuso said to Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Wilson that he was going to give his daughter the name Mookie as her middle name. Mookie tried to tell Mancuso several times not to name his daughter Mookie and that his wife wouldn’t like that. Two weeks later Wilson saw that Mancuso in fact named his daughter Mookie as a middle name saying someday he would have to meet Francesca Mookie Mancuso saying “that’s my girl.”

#5 In last Sunday’s first pre season game in Las Vegas there were more red shirted fans for the San Francisco 49ers than there were Las Vegas Raiders fans. This was something that Raiders owner Mark Davis remarked about last season saying where were his Las Vegas fan base. Seems like the Raiders have been drawing more visiting team fans than the home town fans.
