Braves Hall of Famer Shares Heartwarming Ozzy Osbourne Story Following Rock Legend’s Death
Any Atlanta Braves season-ticket holders from the 1990s and 2000s likely have Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” etched into their brains, and Chipper Jones is to thank. Jones used “Crazy Train” as his walk-up song for years, a fact the Hall of Fame third baseman reflected on following Osbourne’s death this week. Osbourne passed away at 76 on Tuesday, only weeks after his final concert. “I feel Ozzy and I will forever be linked,” Jones wrote on Twitter/X. Jones then shared a story involving former New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza at Turner Field. As he walked to the plate, Jones casually asked Piazza how he was doing. “He says, ‘I’m doing fine Larry, but I hate this [expletive] song!’” Jones recalled. “I said ‘Well, get ready cuz ur gonna hear about 5 times today!’” We apologize to Mets fans for reminding them about Jones, who recorded a .949 OPS in 245 games against the Mets. All turned out well for Jones, who batted .303 with 468 homers, 1,623 RBIs, and a .930 OPS over 19 seasons. We imagine that the fans who didn’t want to hear “Crazy Train” at least accepted that it helped Atlanta win the 1995 World Series and two other pennants during Jones’ Braves tenure.
Emerging Texans star likely to miss 2025 season
Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is likely to miss the entire 2025 season as he continues his recovery from last year’s brutal knee injury, according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. Dell dislocated his knee and tore his ACL, MCL and LCL in a Week 16 loss to the Chiefs in December. With such a severe injury, Houston’s focus is on Dell’s health and long-term career outlook. The team wants him to get healthy rather than rushing back to play this year. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said (via Wilson) that Dell is “crushing the rehab,” but declined to offer a specific timeline. His comments hinted that the team is not counting on Dell to return this season. Injuries were always the biggest concern surrounding Dell. His 5-foot-7, 165-pound frame was already undersized by college standards; in the NFL, it’s minuscule. Sitting out this season will set up a major contract year in 2026. Dell will need to prove that he is back at full health and can remain there for an entire season while maintaining his production. Dell was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, along with teammates Trent Brown and Jimmie Ward.
Raiders GM reveals how they will play safety Jamal Adams
The addition of safety Jamal Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders is a bit surprising given his injury history, but the Raiders brass is keeping their fingers crossed hoping the three-time Pro Bowl safety can stay healthy. In an interview with Raider Nation Radio 920 AM on Wednesday, Raiders general manager John Spytek revealed Adams will "play probably a little closer to the line of scrimmage than a true safety." It is not surprising Spytek would say such a thing since Adams played like a hybrid linebacker for head coach Pete Carroll with the Seattle Seahawks. In Seattle, Adams played 34 games for Carroll, including one game in 2022 due to a quad injury in the season opener against the Denver Broncos. He only played nine games in his final season with Carroll and the Seahawks in 2023 before joining the Tennessee Titans and Detroit Lions last season. The 29-year-old Adams is entering his ninth season after he was drafted with the sixth overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the New York Jets. If Adams can stay healthy, it could turn out to be a great thing for the Raiders since they need a playmaker and veteran leadership on the field. Spytek's words seem to indicate Adams will have a role when the season gets underway against the New England Patriots on Sept. 7. It will not be surprising if Adams gets a lot of reps during the preseason to see if he can stay healthy. For the Raiders' sake, they better hope they get the early version of Adams, who had 9.5 sacks in his first season with the Seahawks in 2020 - an NFL record for a defensive back. Spytek and Carroll are banking on Adams to remain healthy for the Raiders and give the team another threat on the defensive side to complement star pass rusher Maxx Crosby.
Steelers' Jalen Ramsey Takes A Bold Shot At His Former Teams
The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially kicked off their training camp, and there’s a lot of excitement surrounding the team. After a busy and eventful offseason up to this point, everyone is eager to see how this newly revamped roster comes together. The organization made a number of significant moves, bringing in fresh faces and top talent across multiple positions. With all the recent changes, the new players are equally excited about the upcoming season and the promising direction the franchise is heading. One of those new additions is veteran cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Having played for several teams throughout his career, Ramsey spoke to the media during training camp and shared how excited he is to be part of the Steelers organization. In doing so, he also took a jab at some of his former teams, making it clear he sees Pittsburgh as an upgrade. The Steelers are one of the most historic franchises in NFL history, known for their grit, hard work, toughness, and strong sense of tradition. These qualities are a major reason why so many players are drawn to playing in Pittsburgh. That pride was clear in the reactions of the new additions, many of whom spoke highly about joining the team, with most recently Ramsey, and being part of what the organization is building. Although this could be seen as a subtle jab at his former teams, it also highlights the genuine excitement surrounding this new Steelers roster. Recently, there have been reports raising some concerns about Ramsey’s locker room presence. However, team chemistry and unity are crucial in any team sport, and if Ramsey’s passion can be channeled positively, it could bring great energy and leadership to the Steelers' locker room. Ramsey brings not only elite talent, but also a wealth of experience to the Steelers’ secondary. Earlier this offseason, the team added another standout cornerback in Darius Slay, and now with the addition of Ramsey, the secondary has more experience and more depth. Adding veteran players with different skill sets and perspectives can help elevate the entire unit. The way Ramsey performs on the field, and carries himself off of it, could have a lasting impact on the franchise’s culture and success. Slay has already expressed his excitement to mentor younger players like Joey Porter Jr., and if Ramsey follows a similar path, the Steelers could be setting the foundation for a strong and well-rounded secondary for years to come. With the influx of new talent, the expectations for on-field performance have grown significantly. Much like Ramsey, many of the Steelers’ offseason additions are seasoned veterans, showing that the team is aiming for immediate impact. While these experienced players can certainly provide valuable leadership and help shape the next generation, the organization is also focused on turning that leadership into real results, winning games this upcoming season. The Steelers have several players nearing the end of their careers and are determined to change the narrative of recent seasons. While the team has consistently made the playoffs, their recent postseason appearances have ended in early and disappointing first-round exits. One of the team’s clear goals is to make a deeper playoff run, and with the new additions to the roster, there’s a renewed sense of hope that this specific group of guys can help make that happen. The Steelers Want To Continue To Be Historic The Steelers' postseason luck needs to change if they hope to maintain their reputation as one of the NFL’s most historic and successful franchises. While Head Coach Mike Tomlin holds the remarkable record of never having a losing season, the expectations in Pittsburgh go beyond regular season success, it's about making deeper playoff runs and competing for championships. Building a winning team involves many moving parts, but if Ramsey can channel his passion into positive energy and continue performing at a high level, he’ll be taking the first step in making a real impact.
