data-mm-id=”_iagciu0ad”>Peter King discussed Tom Brady's future with Mike Florio on Pro Football Talk Live this morning and concluded that his "gut feeling" is that the quarterback will play elsewhere next season. King did not report this, he was answering the question asked; however, the obstacles he highlighted shouldn't have Patriots fans resting so easy.King's reasons will be hard to dispute. The first was how many things have to fall in place for Brady to stay put. It's not the easy route one may think. As King points out, the first step is getting the money right for Brady and not on a discount, like years past. This will be challenging given that they are in desperate need of offensive weapons that will, of course, cost money. Paying Brady top-lev…
data-mm-id=”_i8b0v38gd”>As the coronavirus pandemic continues to prevent the world from returning to some semblance of normalcy, the Ontario Hockey League became pioneers on Saturday morning by holding sports' first-ever online-only draft. The NFL may be doing something similar come April 23, and it remains well within the realm of possibility that the NBA and NHL will have to do the same thing when their respective drafts roll around come summertime. While the OHL's operations are obviously on a far lesser scale than what the NFL will put on, some of the basic principles could be borrowed. The whole thing took place on a YouTube livestream, complete with advertisements. Picks were announced by teams on Twitter as the big board on the stream was updated , and highlights were …
data-mm-id=”_qwnmzqajg”>Morning television is conducive to chucklefests and light-hearted ribbing. People want a bit of levity with their morning coffee and everything bagel. So it's not unusual to see the made-up and miked-up just having fun out there like Brett Favre in his prime. What's rarer is when one pundit goes on an extended riff impersonating the host. With that in mind, let us savor Ryan Clark doing a full 45 seconds as bizarro Mike Greenberg yesterday on Get Up. Funny, and accurate!???@GetUpESPN @Espngreeny @Realrclark25 @danorlovsky7 #rexryan pic.twitter.com/UGLSiXS64q— StacyGSGreenberg (@StacyGSG) November 16, 2020Wonderful. And useful too because the exact voice can be used to roil any Northwestern grad. Too easy. That's Seth Meyers! It's Darren Rov…
data-mm-id=”_5vqpfq5i0″>The Zion Williamson situation took a weird turn yesterday. The injury-prone superstar spoke to the media for the first time in months this week and said the hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined since January 2 is entirely healed but he is not fully back to being Zion. He won't play again until he feels like Zion. A well-intentioned individual could read this as Zion basically admitting he's rusty after over three months of no basketball and doesn't want to make any game-changing mistakes as his team fights for their playoff lives in the play-in tournament. A less generous soul could read this as Zion admitting he's healthy but refusing to play because the New Orleans Pelicans are the No. 10 seed as of today and there's no point i…
