The level of deception associated with a 6th rd pick is why I love the draft. Raiders GM John Spytek told me he didn’t bring Tommy Mellott in to visit bc he didn’t want to broadcast their interest- & that comment about his kid and Jeanty was strategic too! espn.com/nfl/draft2025/…


For the entire bottom of the fifth, the Sox have been advertising a Harold Baines appearance from two weeks ago. (They're up 10-0 on the Cubs too.)

Dan Campbell stopped practice today after several scuffles broke out in the early portion. Brian Branch and Amon-Ra St. Brown went at it multiple times. Second day in a row practice was stopped. On Tuesday, it was for tackling in shorts. Pads go on tomorrow. They’re ready.
#prospectx check in! Tommy Mellott says he can’t believe he’s in meetings with Pete Carroll every day. He’s working with the WRs and caught some balls with the third team offense today. Of course he was one of the last guys still working post practice today.

so grateful for whatever is wrong with him
Jalen Hurts asked why he didn’t wear his Super Bowl ring: “I’ve moved on to the new year. It’s as simple as that.”
My favorite detail from our reporting on the turmoil within the NFLPA: Howell merged parking spots in the NFLPA garage to protect his Porsche, and then changed the parking spot number to 32, a homage to OJ Simpson @DVNJr espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Ex-NFL Players Association boss Lloyd Howell Jr. has resigned from the Carlyle Group, a spokesman told ESPN. The spokesman refused to say when Howell resigned and why.
The NFLPA's executive committee voted, 10-1, in June 2023 to recommend David White over Lloyd Howell as executive director, but never delivered that recommendation to the player reps before they elected Howell.... washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/07…
JC Tretter explaining his decision to walk away from the NFL Players Association
New at @CBSSports: JC Tretter is resigning from the NFLPA. In an hourlong Sunday conversation, he clears up "mistruths" about his tenure and explains why he's leaving the union with the interim leadership role almost in his grasp cbssports.com/nfl/news/jc-tr…
Per player source - tonight’s meeting with the NFLPA’s board of representatives did not result in any decision on an interim director. Players suggested names of candidates but there was no vote and they will decide on a list to a vote on in the future.
