Falcons are signing WR Drake London to a four-year, $141 million extension worth up to $150 million, including $100 million guaranteed, per his agent Andrew Kessler. It makes London the third highest paid receiver in the league with the highest average per year in Falcons franchise history.
One company: makes it seem like Jazz outright says the Yankees are winning the World Series, knowing people will react
The other company: gives context that Jazz was asked if the Yankees CAN win the World Series, which obviously puts him on the spot
This is a literal lie. And Meyer knows it.
Also unspoken here, beyond the base lie, is the outrageous percentage of the players' money that went to a tiny handful. Because they try to sell the union on some drag-up effect ... while doing nothing for their lowest-paid members.
There are layers and levels to the NFL.
One team in the NFC West is trading for Myles Garrett.
Another is having a public contract dispute with Jacoby Brissett.
MLB only has parity for big market teams lmao
There's been only one small market team that's won the World Series in the last 15 or so years (2015 Royals)
In the NBA & NFL, some of the most dominant teams recently (Chiefs and Thunder) have been small market teams. That's good!
#Lions HC Dan Campbell on who has stood out in OTAs (where there are no pads):
“There are a lot of guys who have done well for two days in pajamas. … I’m done with the hype of the pajama party in May. We’ll find out in training camp who’s who.”

WHY DO PEOPLE CARE ABOUT MLB OWNERS MAKING MONEY?
“Owners made it official — now they are looking for a hard cap! If there is no baseball, we lose! When it comes to baseball, we collectively have such a problem with owners making money!” — Craig Carton

Generational moron🔥
Flaming Hot Take: MLB Owners are pushing for a salary cap because it'd be good for their league, bring in more fans, and every other league that wants to be taken seriously has one, and it is long overdue.
Not because they are corrupt billionaires.
I genuinely don't understand all of the crying about this. Look at the NFL, a Salary Cap done well is a backbone of stability for the league. So a select couple of players have to take 40M to compete on worse teams than 60M to join the Dodgers, cry me a river.
This is fascinating….
If you add up the payroll spend that would be LOST due to the proposed hard cap in MLB, it comes to just over $587 million.
Add up the money that would have to be SPENT by the lower-payroll teams to reach the proposed floor and it’s $570 million.
When we’re talking about this much money that’s essentially a wash. (That’s a difference of what Ronald Acuna Jr. makes in a year)
Seems like a pretty tough sell for the players union in their attempt to spin the idea that this proposal would take money out of the players pockets.
@ABLichtenstein The only players being “hurt” by this are the top 1% of players who think they can get Soto type mega contracts the average player would benefit greatly more money to go around
@ABLichtenstein 50/50 revenue sharing like the leagues in the nfl that profits are more league based instead of team based, a cap would also force teams to open their books and show profits. You don’t get that or a floor without a cap this proposal would give an extra 400mil to players
