Todd. Freddie. Dave, Liam and Josh. Baker Mayfield has played for a plethora of OCs Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield has had a stunning 10 offensive coordinators in his career. Still, he's one of the most electric QBs in the NFL.

Loved @jarrettbell.bsky.social with the walk and talk alongside Baker Mayfield. Really great insight.

Opinion: NFL's suspension of kicker Justin Tucker is essentially a guilty verdict The NFL handed down a 10-week suspension to Justin Tucker following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by the ex-Ravens kicker.

The NFL suspended Justin Tucker for 10 games. Given the league’s disregard for women, that speaks volumes. Good one from @boombaca.bsky.social

In 'The Art of Winning,' Bill Belichick focuses on his true loves Bill Belichick's memoir "The Art of Winning" doesn't delve into any controversy or romance but instead focuses on his love of coaching football.

I already read and reviewed Bill Belichick’s book

Man, if I'm Shedeur, I'm on the phone with the UFL. There's gotta be enough cash in the coffers to make it palatable. You've controlled the narrative the entire time until now. Take it back. The league looks silly, lean all the way into clowning them back.

Kelce: "So I don’t think that you’re going to see that many injuries on it." (3/3)

Kelce cont'd: "I think the Giants, unfortunately, had a couple guys go down. I think if you look, I'd be interested to see what stats say about injuries on the play. It’s a very grueling play, but it’s so tight-quartered that it doesn’t allow for high impacts." (2/3)

The argument for banning the tush push in the name of player safety is not done in good faith, IMO. Here's what Jason Kelce told me about it in October 2023 as the Eagles were really starting to roll with it: "If you look across the league, it’s really not a high-injury play." (1/3)

Stephen A. Smith, LeBron James refuse to let it go. Why are we watching this train wreck? LeBron James and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith have been engaged in a bitter feud that's gotten out of hand. The big question is: Why do we care?
