Mark Madden blasts TJ Watt: “Ever since Watt got the symbolic, ego-driven superiority of being paid $1 million more per year, Garrett has done nothing but prove his on-field supremacy. He won a second NFL Defensive Player of the Year. (Watt has one.) He broke Watt’s NFL single-season sack record last year, posting 23. He’s gone to Los Angeles to play alongside Aaron Donald and win a Super Bowl. He’s ranked 64 places ahead of Watt in ESPN’s rankings. Garrett’s career isn’t fading. Watt’s is.” #Steelers #NFL
If Adam Silver really wanted to cook he’d combo one of the Clippers picks with the cash prize for the NBA Cup every year for the next 5 years, Clippers can go to war to try to get their picks back it’d be fun TV
I don't much care for all of this, but I do think there is something kind of relatable about realizing you can't *actually* become immortal and thinking, "OK, second-best option: tomahawk dunking"
Cornerback Michael Coats, who never played high school football and was an undrafted free agent out of West Virginia, made the Browns 53 man roster today.
Major League Baseball today proposed drastic changes to its offseason calendar, including shortening free agency to a two- to three-week window every offseason, sources tell ESPN. The details of the proposal:
- A free agent dead period until the first day of the Winter Meetings in early December in which players and teams can negotiate but no deals can be signed. Trades would be allowed during this period
- Free agency would open the Monday the Winter Meetings begin and would close Dec. 21.
- From Dec. 21 through the first Monday in February, no free agent signings or trades would be allowed
- Free agents could sign and trades would be allowed again from the first Monday in February onward
