There may be separation of church and state, but judging by this latest post from the Jacksonville Jaguars, it doesn’t appear there’s a separation of church and the NFL. Believe it or not, we’re only six weeks away from the return of the NFL. Soon, footballs will be flying, bets will be placed, and games will be decided by the one player on the team who actually uses their foot. Training camps are ramping up all across the country, fantasy […] The post Jacksonville Jaguars Get Fans Talking With “God Is Good… All The Time” Post first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Sounds like Dale Earnhardt Jr. is on board. Last week, the Hollywood Reporter revealed that a Days of Thunder sequel officially has the green light, or the green flag, I guess, and will be directed by Jonathan Levine, with Tom Cruise once again set to star in the movie, as he did the original. There have been plenty of rumors swirling over the last several months that a Days of Thunder remake is on the horizon, and of course, Tom Cruise […] The post Dale Earnhardt Jr. Says The Producers Behind ‘Days Of Thunder 2’ Are “Doing Homework” To Make It As Authentic As Possible first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Not good, Jim. Tony Romo, the former Cowboy great and current NFL announcer, got pulled over for suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence… and it may or may not have had to do with his golf game. It’s always a bummer to see high profile individuals arrested for something that’s very avoidable, and quite dangerous to those around them. I don’t have to sit here and tell you how irresponsible driving while under the influence is. Some […] The post It Certainly Looks Like Tony Romo Was Arrested For DUI Immediately After Shooting 35-Over In A Golf Tournament first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

A lot of big names going to be available to choose from. Alex Bowman announced yesterday that he plans to retire from the NASCAR Cup Series after the 2027 season. The driver of the #48 car for Hendrick Motorsports has been the subject of quite a bit of rumors and speculation over the past couple of years, given his relative lack of success compared to his teammates, Kyle Larson, William Byron and Chase Elliott, as well as a series of […] The post Who Will Drive The #48 Car For Hendrick Motorsports In 2028 Now That Alex Bowman Has Announced His Retirement? first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Hear that? It’s the collective sound of all of the haters and the losers that were saying the 2026 World Cup would be a failure because it was being primarily hosted by the U.S. shedding tears. The 2026 World Cup really just revealed what us Americans knew all along… the United States of America is the greatest country in the world.  The largest single-sport tournament in the world was nothing short of spectacular, and proved once again that sports is […] The post FIFA Announces 2026 World Cup Was Highest Ever Attended Event In The Tournament’s History first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

He doesn’t miss. For the first time in 30 years, NASCAR Cup Series points racing is officially returning to North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday. The inaugural Window World 450 will be the first championship points-paying Cup Series race at the historic track since September 29th, 1996, and it’s been a long, nearly improbable journey to get there, but it’s been worth it. There have hosted the non-points All-Star Race for the last three years, in 2023, 2024, and 2025, but having […] The post “It’ll Be Really Emotional” — Dale Earnhardt Jr. Is Thrilled To Finally See NASCAR Leaning Into Its History With North Wilkesboro Race first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Former NFL star JJ Watt wasn’t going to let the Real Salt Lake MLS squad get away with snubbing his wife and former soccer standout, Kealia. The Watt family was in town to watch a soccer match between Real Salt Lake and the team they have partial ownership in: Burnley F.C.. The Salt Lake City team did their best to welcome the Watts to the stadium, and even made a social media post about it and snapped a photo of […] The post Real Salt Lake Soccer Team Apologizes After JJ Watt Calls Them Out For Snubbing His Wife, Kealia: “That Woman Won 4 Utah State Championships” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Speaking for a lot of fans. NASCAR has faced quite a few problems with their Gen 7 (or Next Gen) Cup Series car since it debuted back in 2022. The car was meant to save teams money by requiring them to use parts sourced from a single source and standardizing many of the parts of the car – think buying a model car from Walmart and just putting it together. The problem, though, has been that the car has been […] The post Championship-Winning Crew Chief Blasts “Donkeys” At NASCAR For Ruining Next Gen Car first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

There was already a whole lot of work that needed to be done to the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in the first place. A fire that broke out below the grandstands in June just added another item to the to-do list. There’s been rumblings of NASCAR returning to the Nashville Fairground ever since former Mayor John Cooper announced in 2021 that the city had signed a letter of intent with Bristol Motor Speedway to renovate the Fairgrounds Speedway, which hasn’t hosted […] The post Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway Suffered A Fire Back In June… Here’s How Much It Costs To Fix first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Maybe hoping to get the #33 car? We still don’t know who will be behind the wheel of what was formerly the #8 car at Richard Childress Racing next season, after the untimely passing of Kyle Busch back in May. Austin Hill has been the driver of the renumbered #33 car since Busch’s death, with RCR announcing that he would remain the full-time driver through the 2026 season. But so far, no plans have been announced for the team for […] The post Did Noah Gragson Hint That He’s In The Running To Replace Kyle Busch At Richard Childress Racing? first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Unlike the bison, it seems like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have missed the mark on this one. By now you’ve probably seen the viral video of the unfortunate grandpa who got tossed by an aggressive bison in Yellowstone National Park last week. The video, which has racked up millions of views and been shared thousands of times on social media, shows a grandfather and his grandson visiting the national park when the retiree came upon a sizable bison near […] The post Tampa Bay Buccaneers Under Fire For Hype Video Featuring Grandpa Being Flung By Bison In Yellowstone National Park first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

It will bring the chills. Last night, the 2026 MLB All-Star game took place at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the American League beat the National League 4-0, marking the first All-Star Game shutout in 13 years. And before the game got started, actor Miles Teller, who is from the Philadelphia area, gave an inspiring speech which covered the 250 years of American history, which was very fitting as we just marked the 250th anniversary of America on […] The post Actor Miles Teller Goes Viral With Epic Pre All-Star Game Speech Honoring America’s 250th Anniversary first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

World No. 1 golfer, Scottie Scheffler, missed a cut for the first time in almost four year last weekend… and now ahead of The Open, he’s talking about death and how silly the idea of “leaving a legacy” is to him. Guess you could say he’s morphed into “Grunge Scottie” form. Scottie Scheffler, like many other professional golfers, is currently preparing to compete in the year’s last major championship: The Open. Also referred to as a the British Open, the […] The post Scottie Scheffler Says He Couldn’t Care Less About His Golf Legacy Ahead Of The Open: “Gonna Live My Life & Then It’s Gonna End” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

How can you not love this guy? Carson Hocevar has quickly become one of my favorite drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series. He first took over the #77 car full time back in 2024, and made quite a few headlines for his hard-charging (and at times reckless) driving style, but also for not seeming to really care what anybody else thought about him. Of course he also made a bunch of new fans earlier this year when he won his […] The post Carson Hocevar’s Team Was Playing Music For Him Over The Radio During Late-Night Finish At Atlanta first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

She spent many, many Sunday’s at the track cheering on her husband, and eventually, she did so with their two young children. It’s been over a month now since NASCAR legend Kyle Busch sadly passed away at the age of 41, on May 21st, 2026, due to pneumonia that progressed into sepsis. It was very sudden, and he left behind his wife, Samantha, and two children, Brexton (11) and Lennix (4), as well as his parents and fellow race car driver in his […] The post “I’m Filled With Gratitude” — Samantha Busch Shares Heartfelt Thank You To Fans Following The Tragic Death Of Her Husband, NASCAR Legend Kyle Busch first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

That sounds like a great strategy to me. During his time in the Cup Series, Dale Earnhardt Jr. won 26 NASCAR Cup Series victories, including two Daytona 500 wins, two Xfinity Series championships, and a record 15 consecutive NASCAR Most Popular Driver awards. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2021, and has been a fan-favorite pretty much since he started driving professionally. Of course, throughout that time, especially in the early 2000s, Jr. became a pretty big celebrity […] The post “I’ll See Them At The Intro Stage… Like Everybody Else “— Dale Earnhardt Jr. Says He Would Rarely Care To Meet The Celebrities That Came To NASCAR Races When He Was A Driver first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

He’d be mostly shocked, probably. It’s been over a month now since NASCAR legend Kyle Busch sadly passed away at the age of 41, on May 21st, 2026, due to pneumonia that progressed into sepsis. It was very sudden, and he left behind his wife, Samantha, and two children, Brexton (11) and Lennix (4), as well as his parents and fellow race car driver in his brother, Kurt Busch. It’s just so incredibly sad, and my thoughts and prayers continue to go out to […] The post “He Talked About It More Than People Would Ever Know” — Kyle Busch Would’ve Loved To Win The Most Popular Driver Award first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

If you weren’t already amped to watch the U.S. Soccer Men’s National Team take on Belgium in the Round of 16 World Cup game tonight (and let’s be honest, you should be), this hype video that was just released by Team USA should do the trick. The Men’s Team U.S.A. team is currently on their best World Cup run ever.

World Cup fans are doing anything and everything they can do to give their favorite teams an advantage… and Mexico fans took that to a whole other level last night. While America celebrated its 250th birthday with 4th of July festivities, Mexico fans were also shooting off fireworks, but for a different reason. In the name of whatever the opposite of sportsmanship is, fans of the Mexico World Cup team found out where England’s team was staying near Mexico City […] The post England’s World Cup Nightmare: How Mexico Fans Ensured A Sleepless Night Before The Big Match first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

The 2026 World Cup continues to reveal what us Americans knew all along… the United States of America is a wonderful place. The largest single-sport tournament in the world has been nothing short of spectacular thus far, and is proving once again that sports is the great unifier.

Caitlin Clark currently leads the WNBA in many different statistics, and the league still doesn’t care. Why do I say that? The All-Star was just voted the 11th best guard in the league by her peers. Not 11th best player… the 11th best guard. That’s utterly absurd. The WNBA has a bit of a problem on their hands. Both the league and the players that make it up can’t seem to get behind the idea that the W’s most famous […] The post The Caitlin Clark Disrespect Reaches New Heights As She’s Voted 11th Best GUARD In The League By WNBA Peers first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

This England soccer fan’s family was worried sick about his well-being, all while the “missing” man was having the absolute time of his life. Michael Hewitt, who considers himself a very proud England and Leeds United fan, had not been heard from for 10 days. The 65-year-old who had left his home on June 21 was supposed to fly across the pond to Boston, Massachusetts to watch his favorite team – England – play Ghana on June 23. He was […] The post English Soccer Fan Missing For 10 Days Was Eventually Found In A Barcelona Pub “Blissfully Unaware” People Were Looking For Him first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
