“The popular and retired Bucs fullback approached Talib and said, “Why are you yelling at your head coach like that? You should be in bed.” Talib did not take it well.

“M———-, I don’t know you!” he screamed at Alstott, who yelled back at Talib, criticizing him for disrespecting Morris.”

Maybe the billionaire owners should give back when their teams don't perform

And suffering to make only $33m 😎

Baker is the best of them. Be cool if the contracts were actually performance based. Give some back if you don't perform, make more as you do

I thought we knew just about everything we need to about Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan and those whippersnappers who changed football. Boy, was I wrong. Loved @mikesilver.bsky.social's “The Why is Everything.”

So, let’s bring him on the pod.

Here’s our chat: www.golongtd.com/p/gl-pod-nfl...

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Three Florida teams. Three franchise QBs.

Annual average salaries:
Trevor Lawrence, $55 million
Tua Tagovailoa, $53 million
Baker Mayfield, $33.3 million

(One of them is playing like an elite QB.)

Thank you @mikesilver.bsky.social for including this in the piece you wrote for @sportsillustrated.bsky.social - cause while parents might not like this, my dad loved it - and I loved saying to Al [Davis] "sharper, meaner" as I walked out of his office.

Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:

“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”

The Rams failed to score on their final possession when Kyren Williams got stuffed on fourth-and-1 to seal the 49ers' win.
