Five years later, as I remember the life of George Floyd and others we’ve tragically lost, I wrote about the hopes and dreams for my son’s future. I wish I could keep you little: A letter to my son. #GeorgeFloyd
At the end of the day Jerry Jones likes this because his barometer of winning is people talking about his team.
Cowboys DE Micah Parsons and CB Trevon Diggs gave an impromptu availability to give their own side of the front office’s comments yesterday. Parsons on his deal: “Some teams like Maxx [Crosby with the Raiders] knew [they] were coming up and they took care of them. Must be nice.”
Bo Levi Mitchell and Nathan Rourke.
Who’s the face of the CFL? When you look at every league there’s a player that comes to mind. If we don’t have one , is that a talent issue or a marketing issue? I personally believe it’s marketing 🤔
This point should be the start and end of the convo. This issue should no longer be up for debate.
Over the years I haven’t loved some of the WNBA arguments for higher pay but now it’s pretty simple. If the Vegas Aces sell for $2m in 2021 and are supposedly worth $290-$310m now, why would you expect the players to receive just 9% of the revenue? The Valkyries expansion fee was…

The cultural tour of America continues… in Canada… with American cricket. Which is way more fun than cricket. Foot long hot dogs, fried chicken and all the merch. Loved it. Blue Jays fan confirmed. 10/10.

I guess @Giannis_An34 isn’t coming to Toronto after all.
You’re aware Masai Ujiri and the Raptors won a title before Presti and Thunder, right?
Masai Ujiri and Sam Presti right now. The Toronto Raptors have completely lifted OKC's team building philosophy. The Raptors are enamoured with winning. Smart winners tend to spot trends on what is winning. Think about how much they've valued winning in their past moves.…
Can’t believe Ryan Nembhard wasn’t selected in the #nbadraft2025.
So many Toronto references in the lyrics. You love to hear it.
Jared McCain just casually knows every single Drake lyric😂
Go look at Toronto in 2019.
OKC's 2-mile parade route is packed 🔥
