    I like Watkins but I don't think he's worth two firsts and a fourth. Bills gave up too much.

    If Marvin Bracy makes it in the NFL he will have, I think, the fastest 100-meter time ever for an NFL player: 9.93.

    Looking up NCAA track records. Didn't realize O.J. Simpson still owns one, albeit in a relay event that no one runs anymore.

    This New York Times story presents hardly any data, and most of the data it does present runs counter to its thesis.

    NY Times does a "Boxing is dying" story. Never mentions 90K in Wembley last weekend | Boxing Struggles

    Misquote retweeted 771 times, correction retweeted 40 times. Would we all be smarter if we stopped getting our information from Twitter?

    Teams with Top 5 picks usually regress toward the mean. This stat in no way shows drafting RB in the Top 5 is smart.

    Fournette: 10th RB drafted in Top 5 since 2000 As rookies, the other 9 helped their teams to an avg of 5 more wins than the previous season

    Blake Bortles is the favorite for first QB to get benched in 2017. His $19M option means Jags can't afford to risk injury if he plays poorly

    The conservative opposition to ESPN seems tied to the firing of Curt Schilling.

    How did our discourse reach the point where this is the first sentence in a column in a major American newspaper?

    Was this a cost-cutting move by the paper or did they both just happen to decide to retire at the same time?

    Bill Belichick makes $2.5 million a year less than Mike Glennon. Coaches are seriously underpaid relative to players

    No one specifically knows what Belichick makes. It's believed to be $12.5 million annually.

    Jamaal Charles gets less than Adrian Peterson. I'd rather have Charles, though I probably wouldn't sign either.

    Jamaal Charles has a one-year, $900K deal w/ $100,000 workout bonus and chance to earn up to $3.75M with 46-man bonus, incentives.

    Do pro sports leagues have a policy that using a slur in the stands is grounds for permanent banishment from the stadium? If not, why not?

    The NFL draft was the most-watched show on all of TV last week in the 18-49 demographic. Big Bang Theory was No. 2.

    To people accusing me of 20/20 hindsight for criticizing the Sammy Watkins trade. This is from draft night 2014:

    That was such a loaded draft. There are easily 10 players in that first round I'd rather have than Watkins.

    Replying to @MichaelDavSmith
    They could have also used that pick on Khalil Mack instead of Watkins...As a Raiders fan, I was beyond excited when the Bills took Watkins.

    Bills traded up for Sammy Watkins. They could have stayed put and drafted Odell Beckham. Those are the moves that make bad teams stay bad.

    The Boston Herald's social media policy is odd. Suspending a reporter for tweeting Aaron Hernandez news?

    But why should Saban get a quarter of the profit? Why should "amateur" athletics even turn a profit?

    Why does Bama pay Saban $11 million? Not only because he wins ... but b/c FB program made $47.7 million in 2016

    Some of the people laid off by ESPN are going to get paid not to work for more than five years

    ESPN told talent they could not work to the end of their contracts, some of which were longer than five years.

    Not sure what this is supposed to prove. Of course Olympic sprinters are faster than NFL players.
