The idea of a bus load of COVID-infected Miami Marlins players riding a bus to Florida as a hurricane approaches the state is one of the most Florida things I can imagine.
1. I like what Deion is doing in college football
2. I have huge respect for him challenging himself
3. I think betting against Deion is a bad idea
4. I think he needs to STFU about reporters “believing” his program. That’s not the job

Patriots CB JC Jackson, who leads the NFL with 6 INTs and has started four games, was left off the Pro Bowl voting list. According to a league spokesman, the Patriots left him off the list. It's up to the teams. Jackson is scheduled to be a restricted free agent this offseason.
High ranking Raiders official said today there is “no way” the team plays in Oakland in the 2019 season after the city filed suit today. Source said there are 5 or 6 cities the team will consider, including some that already have NFL teams.
@benshapiro
Ben, that’s clueless and you know better. He doesn’t play his sport anymore. That’s his passion. Any athlete would rather play than not. Agree with him or not, he sacrificed his playing career.
Just for perspective:
23 years after Dan Marino retired, Dolphins are still looking ...
29 years since Bernie Kosar left, Browns ...
37 years since Joe Theismann, Washington ...
46 years since Joe Namath left, Jets ...
72 years since Sid Luckman retired, Bears ...
That banging sound you hear is five GMs punching walls when they heard the Ravens were keeping John Harbaugh. On a related note, if you want your coach fired, take a good look first at what's out there to hire. It ain't pretty.
According to 3 sources, the Raiders have hired or are in the process of hiring an outside law firm to deal with whatever issue is at the center of at least four top executives being dismissed/leaving the team.
I asked Sean Payton if he would have considered working for the Dolphins if the Saints had allowed him to speak with them.
"Ohhh ... Probably not. Good time for a break. Looking forward to media."
I, a mom & grandmother with no criminal history, have lived like this since
#j6
. The box on my ankle holding me INSIDE the house, unable to live. In 13 days the government will force me to endure a 51 month sentence because the last 3 years of confinement means nothing.
You mean, for people who have only watched football since 1990 and don’t choose to research
Better list

I wish Josh Gordon had become the poet, musician and artist he wanted to be in high school instead of subjecting himself to public ridicule in a sport he never really loved to play. It’s a case of letting other people push you into something.
So, if my son Campbell wins tomorrow he makes the US National rowing team. I’m having a little trouble wrapping my brain around that. But damn it’s exciting to think about.
If the Redskins put the tag on Kirk Cousins, Cousins should sign it right away and then refuse to negotiate a long-term deal with any other team. The money is guaranteed, Washington is in cap hell and no team would trade for him.
Kobe put every ounce of everything he was into his life and career. It may not have always been pretty, but it was passionate. Congratulations on a life well lived, yet cut way too painfully short. We should all live our lives with such dedication.
In the 11 years I taught sports reporting at the University of Florida, Edward Aschoff was the finest reporter I had the honor to teach. Gifted, smart, natural and a great BS detector. Beyond his gifts professionally, he was a truly wonderful human. This hurts. It really hurts.
Statement from ESPN: “We are very sorry to have to share the devastating news of the tragic passing of friend and ESPN colleague Edward Aschoff. He died earlier today, his 34th birthday. Our thoughts are with his loved ones, including his fiancée Katy.”

Shawn, what do you do for a living? Whatever it is, that’s all you get to talk about. Nothing else, that’s it. Nobody want to hear your opinion on anything.
Now enjoy your not-so-free speech and take that flag off your avatar. You don’t understand what it means.
So the story from the late Eugene Parker is that Jerry Jones called
@DezBryant
and asked Dez to meet him at Cowboys Stadium. They were in Jerry's suite looking over the field and Jerry was talking about the contract with Dez. At that point, Dez says …
I saw Gordon practice in Gainesville one day. Showed up late. Forgot his shoes. Spent 10 minutes worried about the speaker for his music. Found shoes, practiced the whole time in sunglasses. He doesn’t care.
@BrittMcHenry
Britt, he was taken into custody by law enforcement. He is not being coddled. The collision of Jonathan and Richie is a sad for everyone. But you’re a bad person.
One thing to watch for when/if Oakland files an anti-trust lawsuit vs. the
#Raiders
& NFL. The city may go after the Raiders name/brand to keep it in Oakland, using the Cleveland Browns precedent. That could be a HUGE problem for owner Mark Davis.
So let me get this straight: The Jets fired Todd Bowles and the Cardinals fired Steve Wilks (after one season) and now they are both pursuing a guy who got fired by Texas Tech?
To all those sports fans who want their QBs to take less money, when was the last time you went to your boss and offered to take less money for your job?
Regardless of what happens the rest of the night, this election is proof that Joe Biden was a tragically weak candidate. Biden was running against a president with a negative approval rating and he couldn’t capitalize. Dems need to figure out how to develop a good candidate.
"Well, Mr. Jones, then why would I want to negotiate a contract against you?" Pretty classic. Parker laughed pretty hard. I've had three other agents say the same type of story.
In the past 9 games played at SoFi Stadium, 5 NFL players have suffered season-ending/career-threatening leg injuries, including 3 ACL tears. Former Rams players says he “hates” the field there:

@ClayTravis
: "this is going to look ludicrous for the NBA to have no fans present .. by the time we get to the end of July .. it doesn't appear that there are going to be that many people with the virus"
Good news on my son Campbell Cole. He was accepted to the US National crew team Under-23 training program at Princeton this summer. He's trying to make the team for the World Championships in July. I love his passion for his sport.
If you don't understand the Broncos throwing deep at the end, you don't understand how much dislike there is between Adam Gase and Vic Fangio/John Elway.
If you’re a Lions fan who would like to see your team win tomorrow, who do you think gives you a better chance, Blough or Kaepernick? Or would you refuse to watch if it was Kaepernick? Legit question. I’m just curious how people feel about it.
I think Aaron Rodgers might have done two things in the process of defaming Jimmy Kimmel.
1. Invited what could be a very expensive lawsuit if Rodgers doesn't apologize/retract.
2. Rodgers may have killed any hope he had of a TV career. Reckless statements make TV execs nervous.
I keep seeing tweets about all the players leaving the Colorado football program and it sounds like this is some problem for Deion Sanders.
But Colorado went 1-11 last year. Of the 11 losses, 10 were by 23 points or more.
What exactly is Deion losing?
My son Campbell finished fourth in the US Rowing Nationals Under 23 men’s lightweight single today. I appreciate everybody’s positive thoughts. He’s only 19, so this has been great for him. His hard work is paying off.

Always a privilege to be part of this process
If the President thinks that Baltimore is in worse shape than the border, why isn’t he working as hard to fix Baltimore? It’s not far from DC. He could stop by for a quick visit.
I'm not arguing that Ryan Tannehill was great yesterday, but it amuses me to remember how that vile excuse for a human Miko Grimes trashed him repeatedly. She's gone and he's still kicking. Good for him.
I think Jarvis Landry is an excellent player. But the fact that Miami is paying $16M for him for one year and New England is paying $4.1M for Julian Edelman in 2018 kinda boggles my mind.
Florida sold roughly 35,000 Tim Tebow No. 15 jerseys. The royalty for Tebow on those jerseys, if he were able to split it with the school would have been around $50,000.
An hour ago, Booger McFarland is talking about how you have to have QBs who can move. Now, it’s all about decision making and accuracy.
I love draft analysis.
I know people are taking shots at
@johnelway
these days in Denver. But he’s also been to 7 Super Bowls in 24 years as a QB or exec. Won 3. I’ll bet on that resume
Antonio Brown has the past 3-plus years going on rages against his employers, cheating people out of money, throwing furniture off a high-rise balcony, has been accused of sexual assault, lied about being vaccinated ... yet we suddenly trust his story about Bruce Arians?
