The Colts are planning to bring potential Hall of Fame QB Philip Rivers into their facility Tuesday to work out to see if he may join their practice squad, per me & Mike Garafolo.
This is real. Daniel Jones’ season is over, Riley Leonard will start, but Rivers may be an option.

To sell it, the UCP must simultaneously acknowledge system failure while avoiding the deeper truth: that through these recent years of accelerated collapse, it held the power, resources, and the obligation to prevent this failure.

Alberta isn’t fixing healthcare. It’s abandoning it.

She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."

We can deduce a few things from the Yariel move:
1) 29 teams passed on claiming Rodriguez ($17M over next 3 years)
2) Blue Jays would have been OK to see him leave for no return
2) Jays prefer to have Rodriguez off the 40-man, freeing up valuable space for someone else
