The past is real, not predictive. That's what Wilson's late best friend and mental coach Trevor Moawad always told him. After his first start and win in Pittsburgh, Wilson's leaning into neutrality to rebound from his rocky Broncos years.
Why are the Steelers considering a switch at QB when the team is 4-2 with Justin Fields? A mix of what's past, what's ahead, and what Russell Wilson can offer.
The Dodgers have been interested in Adames and even with Mookie Betts moving back to the infield, Adames would make sense in L.A. Other teams that could make a run at him include the Giants and Braves.
The Giants didn't want to pay Barkley, so their division rivals were happy to swoop in to add the playmaking running back. On Thursday, he made all the difference in a win over the Commanders.
