Tom Brady doesn’t make mistakes off the field, but he is susceptible to mistakes off of it. Like so many of us, he let his emotions get the better of him after a bad shot on the golf course over the weekend. Also, like so many of us, he had to apologize after swearing in front of the kids too.

JuJu Smith-Schuster was right there with many of us yesterday when the NBA free agency period officially opened. Over $3 billion was handed out in the first wave of contracts in the span of just eight hours, and even role players were signed to deals worth $10 million a year or more. NBA contracts are almost always fully guaranteed too, so players don’t have to worry about management cutting them to save a few pennies.
About to have an important phone call with my mom, need some explanations about why she didn’t put me in basketball, these contracts are CRAZY!!! 🤯🤯🤯

I usually don’t agree with Pete Prisco, but I am in lockstep with him here. Dan Marino was the most talented quarterback ever to play in the NFL, and he would shred the league with the way the rules are currently set up. Marino threw for over 5,000 yards in his second season in the NFL in 1984, and he ended up throwing for more than 4,000 yards four times in the 1980s. No quarterback threw for more than 5,000 yards in a season again until Drew Brees did it in 2008, and we have seen that number topped again and again in the last decade as it has become harder and harder to play defense. I think Marino would throw for 6,000 yards a season at least twice in the current era.
Easy — Dan Marino. Best. Passer. Ever. https://t.co/lNXMHI9Cxr

The XFL is looking to become the first professional football league in the United States to succeed aside from the NFL. We have seen the WFL, USFL, XFL (1st edition), AFL, AAF, and CFL (south of the border) all fail spectacularly in the past half-century, but Vince McMahon is sinking a sizable chunk of his fortune into the XFL to make it viable. The league knows how important quarterback play is to drawing an audience, and it sounds like two players familiar to NFL fans could be starting quarterbacks in the league.
XFL commissioner Oliver Luck said he's keeping an eye on Seattle's backup QB competition as he eyes potential signings — if Geno Smith or Paxton Lynch were to be cut, they could be a match for the new league. Smith was QB when he was AD at West Virginia. https://t.co/j2BSfHNzfI
