EspañolLas Vegas Raiders fans are convinced Fernando Mendoza is the way to go at No. 1 pick
The NFL draft is two months away, however, for fans of the Las Vegas Raiders, the drama should be over.
The Raiders, of course, own the No. 1 overall pick in the April 23-25 draft.
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner, had been the early favorite to be the team’s pick. But that went to the next level after his incredible play in a NCAA playoff win over Oregon. Mendoza was near perfect in the game.
He looks like the clear-cut choice. The Raiders badly need a young quarterback and Mendoza fits the bill perfectly, it seems.
Still, we our our readers. Yes, they agree. In a popular poll, about 90 percent of the poll takers agree that Mendoza is the choice.
So, it’s clear most fans aren’t on the fence about Mendoza. They aren’t eying anyone else. They don’t want the Raiders trade the pick for a load of compensation.
They want Mendoza.

Some things just go together, like fair fare in the summertime.
Milwaukee Brewers fans will be able to get their fill of it right at the ballpark this season. A "Fair Foods" stand is one of the new culinary offerings at American Family Field for 2026.

The 3rd St. Market Hall Annex is expanding, and a barbecue vendor is coming to The Alley Food Truck Park, according to the news release. Both the Annex and The Alley focus on local vendors and nontraditional ballpark fare.
"By bringing Wisconsin‑based vendors and family‑run businesses into American Family Field, the Brewers aim to elevate the gameday experience while providing meaningful opportunities for local partners to reach new audiences," the release said.

'He'll hurt the opposition': Sourav Ganguly's big statement on Sanju Samson
Samson smashed an unbeaten 97 off 50 balls as India chased down a stiff 196-run target to secure a five-wicket victory in the do-or-die encounter, guiding Suryakumar Yadav’s men into the last four.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Ganguly heaped praise on Samson and underlined that the Kerala batter deserves consistent opportunities in India’s white-ball setup.
"Outstanding. He's a very good player. He should consistently play for India in the white-ball," Ganguly said.
With both India and West Indies tied on points in the Super 8 standings, the Kolkata fixture effectively turned into a knockout, with the winner advancing to join South Africa, New Zealand and England in the semifinals.
India’s victory set up a last-four clash against England on March 5.
Ganguly termed the India-West Indies encounter a virtual quarterfinal and lauded Samson’s composure, stressing how dangerous he can be once he settles in.
"You know, when he gets in, he'll hurt the opposition. He played to the situation which is important," Ganguly added.
Looking ahead to the semifinal against England, the former India skipper noted that the Three Lions would pose a tougher challenge than West Indies.
In the match itself, India won the toss and opted to field. West Indies openers Roston Chase (40 off 25 balls, five fours and a six) and captain Shai Hope (32 off 33 balls, three fours and a six) added 68 for the first wicket. However, despite a quickfire cameo from Shimron Hetmyer (27 off 12 balls, one four and two sixes), the hosts slipped to 119/4 in 14.1 overs.
A late onslaught from Jason Holder (37* off 22 balls, two fours and three sixes) and Rovman Powell (34* off 19 balls, three fours and two sixes) saw the duo stitch together a 76-run stand in just 35 balls, lifting West Indies to 195/4 in their 20 overs.
Jasprit Bumrah (2/36 in four overs) was India’s standout bowler, while Varun Chakaravarthy and Hardik Pandya claimed one wicket each, conceding 40 runs apiece in their four-over spells.
In reply, India were rocked early, reduced to 41/2 inside the powerplay. A 58-run partnership between Samson and Suryakumar Yadav (18) steadied the innings and revived the chase. Samson then combined effectively with Tilak Varma (27 off 15 balls, four boundaries and a six), Hardik Pandya (17) and Shivam Dube (8*) to guide India home with five wickets in hand, sealing a memorable win and a semifinal berth.
He was humbled and learned to scrap at Cal. Got the positive winning mindset from Cignetti and is now ready to deploy that with the Raiders. Also 6’5. Easy pick.
