RAMS PLAYERS SWARM CALEB WILLIAMS IN SHOW OF RESPECT AFTER OVERTIME THRILLER
Caleb Williams' wild TD forced OT, but his INT sealed it. Discover why Rams veterans went out of their way to salute the rookie.
Everyone in the NFL was talking after the Rams squeaked past the Bears, 20-17, in overtime. But honestly, it wasn’t just the score that stuck with people—it was what happened after the game. Rams players went out of their way to find Caleb Williams on the sideline and in the tunnel. They shook his hand and said a few words, and you could tell it mattered. These guys were in the middle of playoff madness, but they still made time for a real show of respect.
Williams dragged Chicago into overtime with one of the wildest fourth-down touchdown throws you’ll ever see. Then it all came crashing down—he threw an interception in overtime, and the Rams kicked the winner. It was brutal. Still, everyone noticed how the Rams recognised what Williams had just pulled off. Before the playoff train rolled on to Seattle, they made sure to salute him. That’s not something you see every day.
It happened fast, but it meant a lot. The Rams’ vets have seen plenty of playoff battles, and the way they treated Williams—like he’d earned his stripes—said everything. It reminded you that, sure, winning matters, but the respect between players is what gives postseason football its heart. People online picked up on it right away. Clips of those handshakes and nods were everywhere, and the conversation wasn’t just about the plays—it was about the sportsmanship.
Those moments ended up feeding bigger stories, too. People started talking about Williams’ place in the league and about the kind of locker room the Rams have built. For Chicago, losing stung, but everyone could see this team is going somewhere with Williams at the helm. For the Rams, the win showed off their resilience and that tight-knit vibe that gets you through playoff nail-biters.
The NFL itself even joined in—posting a video of the Rams’ players reaching out to Williams on their official X account. Social media blew up, with folks praising both the rookie for his guts and the veterans for the way they welcomed him. It looked like football’s own unwritten code in action—when the game ends, you leave the battle on the field and show each other some respect.
In the end, that handshake in the hallway probably said as much as anything that happened during the game. The winners got to celebrate. Williams got a nod for something special, even if his team came up short. And the rest of us got a reminder: when the dust settles, football is about more than just the scoreboard. It’s about the moments where competition and community meet, even if it’s just for a second before everyone moves on.
CRISTIANO RONALDO NAMED WORLD'S HIGHEST-PAID ATHLETE FOR THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR 2025-2026
Cristiano Ronaldo leads the 2025/2026 Sportico list with $260M. Explore the breakdown of his Al-Nassr salary and endorsements.
Cristiano Ronaldo tops the world’s highest-paid athletes list for the third year in a row. For 2025, he’s pulling in a jaw-dropping $260 million, according to Sportico. That site digs into what athletes earn every year, counting up everything — salaries, prize money, sponsorships, and business deals. Most of Ronaldo’s cash comes straight from his salary with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, a massive $200 million since he joined in 2023. The other $60 million? That’s from sponsorships, image rights, and all the other off-field stuff. He’s actually upped his off-field earnings by $15 million since last year, which just cements his place at the top.
And honestly, nobody else is even close. Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez is next with $137 million, and Lionel Messi rounds out the top three with $130 million.
Basketball players are all over this list, too. LeBron James leads NBA earners and sits at number five with $128.7 million. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Giannis Antetokounmpo also land in the top 15. Baseball isn’t far behind. Juan Soto grabs fourth with $129.2 million, and Shohei Ohtani is making waves again. Ohtani’s total is $102.5 million, but here’s the wild part: $100 million of that is from endorsements and deals, not his actual salary.
Formula 1 has its stars as well. Lewis Hamilton takes 11th with $100 million, just ahead of Max Verstappen at 15th. Golf gets a mention, too — Jon Rahm finishes out the top ten with $100.7 million. If you look across the board, the top earners cover seven different sports, and 11 of them made more than $100 million this year.
Here’s how the top 20 shake out for 2025:
1. Cristiano Ronaldo (football / Portugal) - $260 million
2. Canelo Alvarez (boxing / Mexico) - $137 million
3. Lionel Messi (football / Argentina) - $130 million
4. Juan Soto (baseball / Dominican Republic) - $129.2 million
5. LeBron James (basketball / USA) - $128.7 million
6. Karim Benzema (football / France) - $115 million
7. Stephen Curry (basketball / USA) - $105.4 million
8. Shohei Ohtani (baseball / Japan) - $102.5 million
9. Kevin Durant (basketball / USA) - $100.8 million
10. Jon Rahm (golf / Spain) - $100.7 million

19. Josh Allen (American football / USA) - $73.2 million
20. Justin Herbert (American football / USA) - $71.1 million
LEBRON JAMES MISSES NBA ALL-STAR STARTING LINEUP FOR FIRST TIME IN DECADES
For the first time in 21 years, LeBron James is not an All-Star starter. See the full 2026 rosters and the new USA vs World format.
LeBron James’s streak as a starter in the NBA All-Star Game is finally over. At 41, after an unbelievable 21 straight seasons in the starting lineup, he missed the cut this time.
He still has a solid shot at making his 22nd All-Star appearance this year. But when it came to the vote for the top five Western Conference players, he just missed out. The fans get half the say, players and media split the rest, and honestly, they picked seven or eight others ahead of him. In the end, the West’s starters are Nikola Jokic from Denver, LeBron’s teammate Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from OKC, Steph Curry from Golden State, and Victor Wembanyama from San Antonio.
Over in the East, the starters are Giannis Antetokounmpo, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brunson, and Jaylen Brown.
Coaches will pick the All-Star reserves on February 1. LeBron’s still in the running, no doubt—he’s averaging 22.6 points for a Lakers squad fighting for a playoff spot.
Looking ahead, the 2026 All-Star Game will shake things up. Ballots will still split players by conference, but teams will actually be divided by immigration status. That means two squads of American stars and one international team will play in a round-robin tournament—four games, every 12 minutes, just like a typical NBA game.
After those first three games, the two teams with the best records move on to the final. If everyone’s tied, they’ll use point differential to break it.
This US-versus-world idea isn’t brand new; it’s been floating around for a while. The NHL just tried something similar last season—ditching their All-Star format for a “4 Nations Face-Off” that fans loved.
Picking the teams won’t change much, exceptthat position labels don’t matter anymore. If the voting doesn’t turn up at least 16 Americans and eight international players, Commissioner Adam Silver will fill out the rosters himself.
This year’s NBA All-Star Game tips off February 15 at the Clippers’ new Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
