The Las Vegas Raiders Continue To Set A New Standard For Season Ticket Packages

> >

The Las Vegas Raiders might be used to losing on the football field, but off of it, they are making some very winner-like moves… the latest being how they delivered season tickets to season ticket holders. Coming off an abysmal 3-14 season last year, the Raiders and their fans are looking for anything to be excited about. One bright spot they can look towards is their rookie quarterback, Fernando Mendoza. They paired him with their splashy draft pick from last […] The post The Las Vegas Raiders Continue To Set A New Standard For Season Ticket Packages first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

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.

It Certainly Looks Like Tony Romo Was Arrested For DUI Immediately After Shooting 35-Over In A Golf Tournament

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.

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.

Championship-Winning Crew Chief Blasts “Donkeys” At NASCAR For Ruining Next Gen Car

>

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.

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.

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.

Carson Hocevar’s Team Was Playing Music For Him Over The Radio During Late-Night Finish At Atlanta

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.

“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

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.

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.
