Now they care about competition integrity?

Suet they do.

It gives them the power to levy fines.

Love the Brian Robinson addition. Presumably Shanahan trusts him enough to play him a fair amount and not have CMC lead the league in touches like he did in '23. I was nervous he wasn't going to trust any of the rookies enough to play them and wear CMC down

This.

Tampa is my sneaky good team for this year.

The dollar amount hasn’t been reported, but I’ve gotta believe it’s most of the $130M.

I liked Urban Meyer discussing USC in comparison to Michigans punishment over Reggie Bush…

Quick paraphrase but he said USC got hit with a 30 scholarship reduction for several years, and in his opinion have never really been the same. All for a “non competitive advantage”.

More complex than that….he seems like a great guy, but at time of recruitment outta HS, Bama and OSU were worried about grade issues and potential eligibility…..he bounced around HS’s a lot bc of his home life and actually experienced homelessness for stretches at a time.

Ga Tech became the best option when Tashard Choice took on a father role for him. Tashard Choice was RB coach at Ga Tech and has now been hired to be RB’s coach for the Lions, reuniting them.

After (2) seasons at Ga Tech, and not having significant issues, he proved he could handle the rigors of being a college athlete and Bama ended up landing his services.

It’s actually a great story in the end….

He never got around to making it to the TE room

Disappointing news. Terrible to move the family and settle and then have this happen so quickly.

Xavier Johnson: Waived/injured by Houston​

The Texans waived Johnson (hand) with an injury designation Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Johnson broke his hand at some point during training camp, and he'll be out indefinitely while recovering from the injury, per Wilson. Johnson will revert to the Texans' injured reserve if he goes unclaimed off waivers, which would cause him to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Houston. Johnson spent all of last season on the Texans' practice squad but was not promoted to the 53-man roster.

Mum is still the word about position battles that aren’t at quarterback for Ohio State.
Malik Hartford and Jaylen McClain have fought all offseason to start at strong safety next to the best defensive player in college football, Caleb Downs. But no one is naming a leader.
“I think they’re both ready to play,” Ryan Day said on Monday. “I think they're both doing well. We tackled, again, a decent amount here in the preseason, it felt like they're playing faster. I think they do, being with Caleb, they do play faster. There's a certain level of confidence that you see, too, back there. I think that's good.”
One thing has been clear since the spring, however: Both men are going to see the field. And lately it seems that both will see it plenty.
“Great competition back and forth,” defensive coordinator Matt Patricia said. “I think both of them have really made great gains. Certainly with the communication, I think that's one of the biggest things in the back end. Tying together the coverage, whether you're talking to the corners outside or down to the linebackers in front of you. There's some things in there communication-wise that are really critical and both of those guys have done a good job.”
