The picks also look a lot cheaper with the Colts potential final position compared to expectations at the start of the season.

Newest Colts CB: Sauce.

The Jets are getting 2 first-rounders and WR AD Mitchell for Sauce Gardner.

The Colts get Sauce Gardner for next 5.5 years under a contract worth $131.5M -- taking out what NYJ already paid. $625k for the remainder of 2025 and then an average of $26.1M for the next 5 years.

Yellow. Italy alone makes it a strong contender as the greatest cuisine in the world. But add in France, Greece, Spain, Germany and the UK and you get an incredible selection to choose from.

A brilliant article. The one other perspective I'd love to hear would be from owners. I suspect we can guess, but I wonder what self-awareness there is about their role in this?

The bust files: How NFL teams break young quarterbacks Finding a franchise quarterback remains job No. 1 for anyone in charge of an NFL roster, so why do they keep screwing it up?

"Organizations fail young QBs before young QBs fail organizations."

What led Kevin O'Connell to say this?

And why do so many around the NFL agree?

I spent 4 months asking Hall of Famers, No. 1 picks, busts, coaches + execs why teams keep breaking young QBs:

"There is no excuse for what’s happening in Gaza.

This tragedy must end now, immediately and decisively.

Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch, will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war.”

"There is no excuse for what’s happening in Gaza. This tragedy must end now, immediately and decisively. Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch, will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war.”

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral.

This tragedy must end now.

 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the tragic killing of our colleague, Ziyad El Toum.   Ziyad, 46, was killed near his home in Khan Younis in Gaza around 04 July 2025, while attempting, along with his relatives, to reach and assist an injured family member.   Tragically, Ziyad and his relatives did not survive.  Ziyad’s killing is a devastating loss for his family and friends and our entire team.   We extend our deepest condolences to Ziyad’s wife, extended family, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.

We are extremely concerned by the latest outbreak of violence in Sweida, southern Syria, which has yet again resulted in many people killed or injured. 

We urgently call on all actors involved to do everything in their power to:

* Protect the population – People caught in the violence must not be harmed and allowed to flee safely and voluntarily. Their dignity, safety, and property must be respected at all times.

* Ensure access to health care – Medical personnel, facilities, and ambulances must be protected. First responders must be able to reach the wounded and save lives without fear or obstruction.

* Safeguard essential services – Infrastructure linked to water and electricity is vital for the survival of families and must be preserved.

The wildfires in Latakia have forced hundreds of people to flee. They have also destroyed vast tracts of farmland and damaged vital infrastructures.   The presence of unexploded ordnance lying in the path of the wildfires has triggered further concerns. For communities already affected by years of conflict and violence, this adds another layer of threat to their lives, disrupting their access to essential services and livelihoods.  We are in close contact with our Movement partners at the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) and IFRC to closely monitor the situation and provide support. This includes the delivery of essential relief items such as canned food parcels, bottled water, and medical supplies.  We stand in solidarity with the affected communities and remain ready to support our partners in responding to the resulting humanitarian needs.

We are deeply alarmed by the intensifying hostilities in Gaza City and Jabaliya, which have reportedly caused dozens of deaths and injuries among civilians over the past 36 hours. The intensification of hostilities comes as Gaza’s already, decimated healthcare system struggles to absorb a relentless surge in critical cases.   Nearly all public hospitals in Gaza are shut down or gutted by months of hostilities and restrictions on the entry of critical medicine, supplies and equipment.   The few medical facilities that continue to function, including the Red Cross Field Hospital in Rafah, are overwhelmed and running dangerously low on essential supplies, including fuel, and even body bags.  This severely compromises their ability to treat the wounded or ensure dignified management of the dead.   We urgently reiterate our call for the protection of medical personnel and medical facilities in Gaza.   They must be respected and protected to safeguard a lifeline for the wounded and sick. All feasible steps must be taken to support their work, ensure their safety, and guarantee that they are not deprived of vital resources.

Civilians are not a target

Civilians are not a target

All parties involved in armed conflicts, whether it is a non-state armed group or a state, must protect civilians and civilian objects without excuses.

Civilians shouldn't bear the cost of the hostilities.
