Ted Cruz says the SEC & Big Ten “want to form a super league.” But Tony Petitti rebukes that as “fabrication.”

The Cruz bill marches on without support from two leading stakeholders, now in a fight with US senators.

“A first in modern political history.”

Nick Saban is the greatest coach I’ve ever been around; any room he walks into is his; a master motivator, etc …

but HE ADMITTED he tampered with Quinyon Mitchell, trying to get him into the portal. C’mon man.

Nick Saban on the Luke Ferrelli tampering saga: “Clemson had a player who was on campus for a whole week, and they (Ole Miss) came and got him off campus and took him someplace else.” Saban is testifying in support of the Protect College Sports Act in the US Senate this morning

Williamsville North accounting and math teachers, take a bow. That goofy kid in the back must’ve paid attention.

Rob Gronkowski says he lived off $50,000 as an NFL rookie because he understood the NFL meant "Not For Long"

"My agent gave me a $50,000 advance for what's going to come in the marketing world for myself. I just had to pay him back within the first $50,000 I made"

"I was able to purchase my first car, which was a 2008 Escalade, and then to be able to pay rent once I got to New England. And then from there on out, I really didn't need any other money"

"I was getting free meals at the facility. I just kind of needed gas money. You go out, the drinks are free or you pay for one, you get 10 free when you're when you're on the Patriots up in the Boston area"

"So I wasn't really spending much money at all, especially when it got to the season. I mean, you're inside that building and everything's handed to you on a daily basis from breakfast all the way to dinner"

"I just lived off my marketing dollars. I was living a low-level life. I had a condo with a roommate that was on the team as well. We're paying $1,500 a month in rent while in the NFL"

"I was very frugal and that's how I got away with it. Not having any lavish purchases, the first couple years in the league and just banking away what I was making because I truly understood that the NFL stands for not for long"

Remind me: Who made this decision?

Saban: "I don’t think it’s fair for someone at USC to have to go to Rutgers, whether field hockey or a football game. That’s crazy."

You also have schools that pay coaches $13M (and soaring) and pay team weightlifting coaches $1M+.

Congress gonna cap their earnings, too?

As a young coach, John Fox never understood why some of his mentors walked away from retirement to return to the grind of the NFL.

"Then, I lived it."

Why the longtime head coach relocated to Orchard Park to help Joe Brady and the Bills:

I sat down with longtime NFL head coach John Fox to learn about his role with the Bills and why he paused his retirement again to come to Buffalo.

“I’ve been to three Super Bowls and I haven’t won one. … I know that’s the goal here.”

This of shot of Marilyn Monroe, born 100 years ago today, in Niagara (1953), was marketed as the longest walk in cinema history: 116 feet in a single 18‑second shot. It cemented her hip‑swivelling strut in pop culture, and pushed back on the era’s conservative depictions of women

[Buffalo News Sports @TBNSports]

After 16 seasons and two trips to the Super Bowl as an NFL head coach, the top job no longer interested him. He reassured Joe Brady he didn't have ulterior motives. Fox wanted to return to football to make an impact on young coaches and players. https://t.co/m0x5uHADTl
