After a fantastic performance in the College Football National Championship, the attention now turns to the NFL Draft where the Cincinnati Bengals will likely choose Joe Burrow with their first overall pick. From a projected late-round pick entering the season to now the unanimous first overall prospect, it’s been a hell of a ride for the Louisiana legend.

One of the biggest stories of the day, and in recent baseball history is the sign-stealing scandal in Houston. MLB announced the punishments for those actions on Monday and they were severe. Hopefully this serves as a lesson to any team contemplating cheating in the future and preserves the integrity of the game.
BREAKING: Per sources, MLB’s penalties for #Astros include:
*One-year suspensions for GM Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch.
*Losses of 1st and 2nd round draft picks in both 2020 and ‘21.
*A fine of $5M.
