Aaron Rodgers’ return didn’t go quite as planned on Monday night.

The San Francisco 49ers rolled over Rodgers and the New York Jets on “Monday Night Football” to officially wrap up the opening week of the new NFL season. The 49ers cruised to a 32-19 win at Levi’s Stadium.

Brock Purdy went 19-of-29 for 231 yards for the 49ers in the win. Jordan Mason ran for 147 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries. Jauan Jennings had 64 receiving yards on five catches.

Aaron Rogers went 13-of-21 for 167 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Jets. Breece Hall, who scored in the first half, had 54 rushing yards on 16 carries. Lazard finished with a game-high 89 receiving yards and two touchdowns on six catches.

Viking QB Sam Darnold had one of those super performances at MetLife Stadium that New York Jets fans hoped to see weekly after he was drafted No. 3 overall in 2018. 

Six years later as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, he did it against, of all teams, the Giants on his old home turf.

Darnold threw two touchdown passes in a highly efficient performance and Andrew Van Ginkel scored on a spectacular one-handed 10-yard interception return to lead the Vikings to an easy 28-6 victory over the woeful New York Giants on Sunday.

Giants QB Daniel Jones did not play well and finished 22 of 42 for 186 yards and two interceptions.

Mets Sweep Red Sox

Chiefs Hold on for Thrilling Win Over Ravens

It wasn’t easy, but the New York Mets hung on to beat the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Saturday night. New York had opportunities to pull away in this game, but they got just enough out of their bullpen and offense for the win. 

The 9th inning was scary. Many 9th innings have been scary for this Mets team. However, once again, the Mets manager showed faith in his player, and the faith paid off in the win.

When you face a team like the White Sox, the goal is to get on the board early. The Mets big power-hitting first baseman got things started on Saturday. In the 1st inning, with Mark Vientos on base, Pete Alonso took a first-pitch slider from White Sox starter Davis Martin over the left field wall for a two-run home run. 

It was Alonso’s 30th home run of the season. It was also his first ever against the White Sox. Alonso now has hit 30 home runs for the fourth consecutive season.

With the Mets up 5-2 going into the 9th and Edwin Díaz unavailable, Manager Carlos Mendoza turned to José Buttó to get the final 3-outs.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge hit his 50th and 51st home runs of the season against the Colorado Rockies. In the first inning, pitcher Austin Gomber spun an 0–2 slider on the outside part of the plate, and Judge launched it to center field to give the Yankees a 2–1 lead.

Judge, 32, has reached the 50-home-run mark for the third time in his career. He last did so in 2022, when he set the single-season American League home run record with 62 and won AL MVP.

The nine-year veteran added his 51st home run in the seventh inning Sunday as part of three consecutive homers from Juan Soto, Judge and Giancarlo Stanton off Rockies reliever Jeff Criswell in an eventual 10–3 win over Colorado.

It was in his first full season with the Yankees in 2017 that Judge first hit 50 home runs — a season that included making the AL All-Star team, winning AL Rookie of the Year, leading the AL in home runs and winning a Silver Slugger Award.

Judge’s 2024 season has set him up to be the favorite for his second AL MVP award and potentially MLB’s first Triple Crown winner since Miguel Cabrera in 2012 and only the second since 1967.

Paige Spiranac is embracing the next decade.

The golf influencer celebrated her 30th birthday on Sunday, marking the special occasion with an empowering message about feeling “confident” in her “own skin.”

“I know most women don’t like to talk about their age because people act like there is a shelf life and treat us like spoiled milk lol,” Spiranac said.

“Truth is I’ve never felt sexier and more confident in my own skin. Here’s to getting older!”

Spiranac commemorated her big day with a photo shoot she promises to share with her fans.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and quarterback Trevor Lawrence have reached an agreement on a five-year, $275 million contract extension, which includes $200 million guaranteed and a $142 million signing bonus.

Lawrence’s reported extension matches Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow‘s 2023 extension as the highest-paid deal in NFL history with an average salary of $55 million.

Lawrence, 24, was selected by the Jaguars at No. 1 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft and has led Jacksonville to a 20-30 record in three seasons which included the franchise’s first playoff berth and AFC South Division title in five seasons in 2022.

Lawrence enters his fourth NFL season with 11,770 yards, 58 touchdowns and 39 interceptions on 1,116 of 1,750 passing, as well as 964 yards and 11 touchdowns on 205 rushing attempts. The Knoxville native entered the NFL after a decorated collegiate career at Clemson.

New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge put his name in the record books Wednesday when he hit his 300th career home run in his 955th game, becoming the fastest player in MLB history to reach the milestone.

The 32-year-old slugged a three-run shot on a 3-0 pitch off White Sox right-hander Chad Kuhl in the top of the eighth inning. Kuhl intentionally walked Juan Soto ahead of Judge to try to set up a possible inning-ending double play. It was Judge’s 43rd home run of the season.

Judge also reached the 300-homer plateau in 3,431 at-bats, 400 fewer than Hall of Famer Babe Ruth’s previous record.

Judge is enjoying another transcendent offensive season and is a heavy favorite to win his second AL MVP in three seasons.

Kurt Angle is stepping back into the ring, but not as an active pro wrestler. Instead, he will throw on a referee shirt for a fight this December.

According to an announcement made by the WWE Hall of Famer, he will be the third man in the ring when Joe Giudice and Antonio Sabato Jr. box on December 7th.

Giudice became famous on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” while Sabato Jr. was a model for Calvin Klein in the 90s before getting a role as Jagger Cates on “General Hospital” that same decade. This is the latest fight in the world of celebrities stepping into the ring.

“Hey, this is Kurt Angle, I just signed on with Official Celebrity Boxing to referee in The Battle of the Italian TV Stars, Antonio Sabato Jr. and Joe Giudice in the Bahamas December 7,” Angle said.
