BULLETIN: Deshaun Watson’s suspension will be six games, according to several media outlets today. I reviewed the column with some mind on this story at 9:30 a. m. Today’s ET.
LATROBE, Pa. – Mike Tomlin returned to punters Saturday afternoon. When you ask those who have been around him for years, you hear Tomlin training the entire team. In the middle of Saturday’s educational camp practice, he focused on outgoing bettor Pressley Harvin III and Cameron Nizialek.
“Let’s go!” Tomlin screamed with Harvin about to start. ” For us, 5. 0 is the norm!”
He was referring to a suspension time of 5. 0 seconds, which would be exemplary; the average suspension time of the league’s 10 most sensible bettors in 2021, via Pro Football Focus, 4. 27 seconds. Maybe the popular one is 5. 0, or maybe it’s the dream. Anyway, Tomlin blew it up and Harvin responded with a Rainmaker-type Ray Guy at right-back. Large clearance.
“The standard!” Tomlin said. “Five numbers, oh!”
In Nizialek’s turn, he’s unlikely to defeat the much-vaunted Harvin, the seventh-round pick in the 2021 draft, but he’s competing. “Ooooooooh,” the foule replied.
Tomlin didn’t say anything (at least what I heard). The training continued. Why is this important? Harvin and Nizialek know it’s a big deal when the head coach takes 12 to 15 minutes to fully focus on bettors among the camp’s 90 players. It’s not just a July workout for Tomlin. You need to know what happens when the tension is high. If you have one in Latrobe with all the enthusiasts who love you in July, how are you going to play with the bright lights with you in Baltimore in a great game?At the moment, Harvin has passed the check and Nizialek has not. Tomlin was then able to gather intellectual evidence in a small list battle.
Tomlin’s theater is smart at this time of year, but on Saturday I focused on it because of what was at stake. , it’s a year of change, a year of what will hold for one of the league’s most productive franchises with only one permanent force remaining: Tomlin, entering his 16th year as coach.
In his first 15 years as a leader, Tomlin never had a wasted season, a competitive streak in the NFL. (By comparison, Bill Belichick had five years wasted on his first 15 years as a coach. )
Tomlin didn’t like my series of post-workout questions about what he lost here, asking at one point, “Do you expect us to be mediocre?”I said no, but it’s a year where other people see the Steelers and don’t know what to expect.
I can feel the warmth of their sunglasses.
“Go ahead,” Tomlin said. “Give it to him. “
“Do you like it?” I said.
“Go ahead. Quote me. “
Mike Tomlin likes this setup. I love it.
As the calendar approaches August, pads will continue in the camps this week and real football is getting closer. case. Several reporters said a while before nine a. m. that referee Sue L. Robinson said today that Watson would be suspended for six games, not fined and would not be allowed to receive massages outside of the Auspices of the Browns.
A little mind on Watson, then I’ll take the temperature of the Patriots, Giants, and Steelers as I head west and south at my education camp.
Robinson’s resolve is unexpected in his clemency but not unexpected. I wrote Sunday night, before the resolution was made: A win for the franchise, I think, would be a suspension of 10 games or less. I would be surprised if the league came to an agreement. for a suspension of six games or less. I had the idea that Robinson, in his first case of hearing a league field problem, would try to be fair to either side.
The NFL may not be so fair, and I hope the league will appeal Robinson’s decision. Of course, the way the appeal procedure is set up, Commissioner Roger Goodell or his delegate would hear the call, so he’s clearly willing to go as the league wants. As Tom Pelissero explained on NFL Network this morning, if the league increases Watson’s suspension, the union could sue the league in federal court to try to overturn the league’s decision. So, assuming the league appeals, this story could only make it bigger in August, and maybe beyond.
The NFL Players Association issued a Sunday night saying it would respect Robinson’s resolution, appointed jointly by the league and the union, and called on the NFL to do the same. Under the terms of the collective agreement, after the arbitrator has ruled on disciplinary cases. , the league or union can appeal. The league now has 3 days to make an appeal resolution.
– NFLPA (@NFLPA) July 31, 2022
One thing that will dominate the news in a day or two is Robinson’s interpretation of the 24 women who came forward and accused Watson of sexual misconduct, and what precisely Watson did. she called it nonviolent sexual behavior. Technically, this would possibly be correct, but it turns out robinson is downplaying what happened in those cases. Watson was accused of exposing himself to several women and having sexual contact with a woman who said she did not need to be touched through Watson’s penis. Pelissero said the league had tried to reach a deal with Watson and the union in recent days, but would not approve a 12-game suspension in the deal talks. For now, the Browns and Watson will have to be satisfied that, if this resolution is upheld, he will be able to play 11 of the 17 games this season. But it’s a big “if. “
My story in Latrobe begins with a Benedictine monk.
Father Paul Taylor, president of St. Vincent College, watched the practice from the bench Saturday in his loose brown dress. Father Paul is also a chaplain and priest for the Steelers team, and says Mass for all players, coaches or staff who wish to attend. each and every Sunday morning. He knows Tomlin well.
“What makes him a wonderful leader is that he rises above the fray,” Father Paul told me at training. “He knows what is vital in his work. And he’s such a smart communicator. I think you can see in the players. “
Two players told me that Tomlin had a smart relationship with the players because he led with them and never hid the truth. This is vital this year, because evidently the main story of the camp is life without Roethlisberger and the selection of a successor. Former quarterback here, Charlie Batch, told me as we watched the QB war spread in front of us, “I think Mike will be completely fair at team meetings. He will tell the team: We have a quarterback war here. Everyone will have a chance and the film will speak for itself. Three dogs, one bone. Let’s see what those guys can do. Let’s see who wins the job.
Therefore, the monk and the former quarterback emphasize communication and honesty about the team reorganization procedure. When I relayed Batch’s theory about how he would deal with the quarterback’s war with the team, Tomlin said it was perfect.
“It’s very accurate,” Tomlin said. Our ability to establish a winning formula that allows us to move into the stadiums and come out on top is what it’s all about. We are going through a transition to this position, so our formula will replace to some extent. Our strengths can replace, what we depend on, what we paint to minimize. It’s just team paintings. This requires discussion and guidance. And [Batch] is right.
“I’m running away from this. I’m running towards that. “
“What does the novelty look like? When it comes to new people? »
“I’m not looking for the convenience of a veterans organization,” Tomlin said. “I create a team in the same way every year. That’s how I’m connected. I understand the question, but it’s just not my style.
That’s what I’d like from my head coach. Roethlisberger is gone. Very good. Who is standing?And are we going to throw it at 60% or throw it to hide the yettons we have in the aerial game?Can Najee Harris take care of a burden of three hundred a lot if he wants to?These are the things that Tomlin seeks to perceive this year, however, those are the things, in other positions, that he has tried to perceive each and every year.
It’s too early to draw conclusions about quarterbacks six weeks before Opening Day. But there’s a main clue about Saturday’s trend: in a first period of education, in the tight red zone, the representatives were split 4-2-1, Trubisky-Rudolph-Pickett From what I’ve deduced, the mission of the opening day, Steelers to the Super Bowl Bengals, is a tea for Trubisky.
Of course, things like this era are taken into account in the final decision. Trubisky was one of four, and Pickett nailed his only chance with a better pitch to land free agent Tyler Vaughns. “We are in the early stages. ” Everyone will have the opportunity to show their skills, that’s for sure,” Tomlin said.
“Coach Tomlin is very transparent about the situation,” Trubisky said. “Since I’ve been here, it’s impressive for me to see how he leads the team as a football coach. He will even tell you. It’s no coincidence that he gets the effects he gets because he’s a wonderful leader. I’m just looking to absorb all that wisdom to be the most productive player I can be and we can continue to faint and win games for the Steelers.
The position of quarterback will attract attention. Defense opposite the race may be more important. Last year, the Steelers had the worst ground defense in the league, and there’s no way they’re going to argue this year without figuring that out. The retirement of a smart two-way lineman, Stephon Tuitt, hurts. And giving up 5. 0 career-consistent yards is incredibly anti-Steelers. Both T. J. Watt and Cam Heyward said this was the camp’s first task this year — make sure it’s corrected. It’s the highest-paid defense in the league, collectively, and they rely on some strong mid-level loose agents, defensive lineman Larry Oguntaski and linebacker Myles Jack, to better protect the race this year.
I think a big component of this team’s destiny lies in anything boring: football on the pitch and clock management. Harvin, the booming punter, will have to be higher than his average of 42. 6 yards last year (26th in the league). Teams, playing with the stopwatch, protecting the race even more, running it 4. 4 meters consistent with the clip and keeping Najee Harris standing. These things are a must to do 16 consecutive seasons without wasting for Tomlin.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. – On February 14, 1979, the Giants appointed Dolphins professional scouting director George Young as the team’s general manager. Young chose San Diego’s underdog offensive coordinator, Ray Perkins, as his head coach. dying franchise.
“It’s a sign that the Giants are delivering on the rest of the league,” President and co-owner Wellington Mara said in hiring Young.
History repeats itself, almost strangely, for the Giants. For the first time since that February day 43 years ago, the Giants left the organization to fill the position of general manager and coach. General manager Joe Schoen came from Buffalo and Buffalo’s offensive coordinator. Brian Daboll as his coach
“We want to make some adjustments to the way we do things here. That’s one of the main reasons we’re looking to bring in someone from outside,” President and co-owner John Mara said when he hired Schoen.
A splinter of the old block. Schoen’s mom was 4 months pregnant with him the last time the Giants left the organization to rent twins. Daboll 3 years.
“Wow,” Schoen said when I gave him the history lesson. “It’s crazy. As this league is today, I don’t think you’ll see it fall again. “
Since the Giants won the Susistent with Bowl 10 years ago, they haven’t won the department or a playoff game, and they’re averaging six wins consistent with the season. . . with five head coaches. Young’s hiring led the Giants to a consistent length of a period of success, adding two bowling games over the next 12 seasons. Wellington’s son would accept that, especially with the long jobs the Giants have had since surprising the Patriots in the 46th bowling game a decade ago.
Watching camp practice on Friday: John Mara looked only at the sidelines, as his father did religiously for years. I think of a couple of things: All 90 of the players, quarterback Daniel Jones and ball carrier Saquon Barkley, are looking with two new bosses. Sure, there are a few, like franchise deep Xavier McKinney and double tacklers Andrew Thomas and Evan Neal, who are close to the cornerstones, but this may be the maximum list of consumables in the league, and it may only be the one that fits the most in the next two years.
Second, this offensive turns out to be the early D. While the Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” exploded just through the speakers midway through practice, there were two missed shotgun throws to the quarterback, a deserted swing pass from Barkley and Jones throwing a six-pick on cornerback Darnay Holmes. Man, it was ugly. And it didn’t get better until the end of training. The offense really painted Black Friday.
A practice in July is a small piece of the puzzle for Schoen and Daboll. One of the reasons Mara chose Schoen is that he was part of three teams (Miami, Carolina and Buffalo) that went from dying to the playoffs in a short period of time. time. ” I’m sure we’re going to replace that, but it may not happen overnight,” said Schoen, 43, who looks like a thinner edition of Steve Garvey, well-groomed and well-dressed, sitting in the Giants’ cafeteria. Friday morning before training. ” I’ve noticed how to build groups the right way 3 or 4 times, and we’re going to expand the intensity and skill with a solid plan. “
Already around construction, you hear that Daboll achieved a performance like none of his predecessors. In early June, he phoned the 21 members of the media covering the Giants every day in early July. “It was his message, 10- to 15-minute conversations with each and every one. He goes through the advertising aspect of construction, introduces himself to outsiders, and tells them how vital it is that everyone in construction wins. As one of the members of the veterans construction told me, “I don’t forget a coach who once told someone who was promoting sequels how valuable he was. “so widespread.
Everyone needs to know about Jones’ future, but it’s to know before the games start. On the contrary, the calendar gives Jones the chance to fight. Six of the first 10 games are opposed to groups (Carolina, Chicago, Jacksonville, Seattle). , Houston, Detroit) who, like the Giants, may struggle to succeed in Array500.
Jones showed off his star-studded characteristics Friday at times— he ran through defense during a long run, combining with talented second-round pick Wan’Dale Robinson in several events, but he’s had more bad plays than smart ones. “He’s tall, he’s strong, he’s athletic, he has smart cell skills,” Daboll said, uniformly, of Jones. “There are a lot of other things you can do with a quarterback like that. We’re playing with things to make sure that what I need him to do is answer me about things he’s not comfortable with.
Robinson, Kentucky’s 5-foot-8-inch, 185-pound rookie receiver, stood out to me for his versatility and confidence; you can win the starting position. “It’s a problem,” McKinney Security told me. Very difficult to cover. “The Giants expect to see more of their $18 million a year free agent in 2021, Kenny Golladay, who is not part of DB at the beginning of camp. This signature looks like a mess. The receiving organization is a work in progress, but Robinson is being pressured for it.
As for Saquon Barkley, who missed 18 games due to injury over the past two seasons, I still think his long career is elsewhere. The Giants are getting their pay cap right: They deserve to be among the top seven most sensible in the pay cap area next offseason. — and I doubt they need to spend more than $12 million on a ball carrier, even if Barkley is betting very well this year. Like so many players on the roster, I guess he’s auditioning for 31 other groups as much as the Giants this fall.
One player who has temporarily become a Daboll/Schoen favorite is McKinney, a favorite of Nick Saban in Alabama. McKinney enters his junior year feeling relaxed under new coordinator Wink Martindale. The new DC loves to let their safety slip through. Good for McKinney, who didn’t bomb on a single occasion with the former staff last season. That will change, as will your workload. Martindale, in a rarity, gave the green dot to a protection instead of the same old linebacker. The green dot is used on the back of a defender’s helmet, and Martindale calls the defense to that player’s helmet before each one breaks. “An honor,” McKinney. Se note that coaches accept as true to me, told me.
I asked McKinney about the new regime. ” We have faced so much adversity in the last two years. For us, it’s like it can’t get worse,” McKinney said. “We’ve hit rock bottom. We have noticed the background. We can only let it go. The energy is very different in the building. You feel this bond from team, player to coach, coach to player, staff to coach. We still feel this circle of family environment that we have been looking for. for a long time.
It sounds smart in the field of education. But the task this summer and fall is for Schoen and Daboll to begin building a solid foundation: with tackles, with Kayvon Thibodeaux and McKinney at the key to a young defense. With or without Jones. The pain is not over yet. no one expected it to be the first year. Patience, Giants fans.
FOXBORO, Mass. —Ten on the Patriots, 3 years after Tom:
1. It is now transparent that when the Patriots selected Michael McCorkle Jones in the first circular last year, they selected a player with Tom Brady’s philosophy, in each and every way. (Well, maybe unless it’s for food. ) I met Mac Jones for 10 minutes after training, and he was respectful and kind, but my idea in answering my questions was that he actually needs this done in order to get back into football. It’s no coincidence that Jones, 22 years younger than his predecessor, studied Brady Mechanics when he was a young quarterback and imitated his tireless career methods. “I look at other people who are smart at what they do, whatever. that’s my thing, I try to be a sponge and find out who I can.
In the practice I observed, with Jones, there were no unnecessary movements. His mechanics were precise, his confidence evident. No kidding. He said in a radio interview last year as a 22-year-old rookie who went to bed every night at 8:30 p. m. m. , what some considered a nerd or a humble braggart. I was just looking to be more productive when it came time to do homework the next day. Even at a time when the hangover quarterback had passed away, his determination seemed, and turns out, so similar to Brady’s, so made for a Bill Belichick quarterback.
That day, he made a better shot to DeVante Parker through a small window in the goal domain, but it wasn’t fluid. His practice was professional. Once a remote third-hander Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa on Alabama’s intensity board has left the area with greater control over his team’s long-term initial paints than one of the guys who once ruled it. But he doesn’t get too attached to the improbability of his story, or anything other than today.
“I’ll refer to coach [Nick] Saban here,” he told me. But if I had ever listened to the Internet, I would have stopped gambling a long time ago. There will always be other people who say that you “I’m not smart enough to do something. I still have a lot to prove. I still seek to be bigger and bigger than myself, really. I’m just looking to compete with myself. I know when it’s a smart day. I know when it’s a bad day. It’s more of a matter of course. What did I do before my education to fill the position?Can I do this each and every day?[I] persevere and paint each and every day That’s all you can do.
It is attractive to see a young player assume the undisputed leadership of the team. Eternal veterans Matthew Slater and Devin McCourty see it coming and love it. McCoutry said, “He has all those things that we wish our quarterback had. With a year under his belt, he has a little more confidence. He has a little more control. I said, ‘Whoever is in the best school, in college, this guy, bring this guy here. It doesn’t have to be that guy or be that guy. We just want you to be Mac Jones. That’s what we see.
2. Bill Belichick, 70, looks a lot like the Bill Belichick of early New England. A few months ago, I saw a picture of George Halas training in his sixties (he had a 21-18-3 record in 3 seasons after turning 70) and it looked like he was 80. Belichick has 55. Belichick coaching quarterbacks, from what I’ve seen. He spent game after game running and drilling to replace quarterback Bailey Zappe, who actually gets a lot of shots for a fourth-round guy maybe.
3. Big crowd here. Loyal crowd.
4. DeVante Parker will have to be what he was in Thursday’s practice: a red zone risk that physically competes for 50-50 balls. Parker won a duel in the purpose zone with starting cornerback Jalen Mills, which ignited fans. Parker, 6-3 and 220, has to play the biggest in an attack with meh wideouts.
5. When it comes to quarterback education and calling the offense, it looks like the decision of the game may land on senior football adviser/offensive line coach Matt Patricia’s helmet. We’ll see how it goes. In 26 years as a football coach, Patricia has never held the title of quarterbacks coach, offensive coordinator, ball carriers coach, wide receivers coach or close finishing coach. She doesn’t mean to disqualify, but it will be attractive to watch. Don’t be surprised if Belichick ends up having a significant percentage of the game’s calls.
6. Every team deserves to have a leader like Devin McCourty, who will turn 35 in two weeks. “The game is a task and for us it has to be,” he said. “We are a team that really has to paint on it. At the beginning of the camp, you see it. You see the last period of education, we screamed and screamed in the attack. I think that’s what it’s all about. We will have to continually pursue each one. other. We cannot have a simple task. We can’t be great in a sense and have one of those cool practices. I’m sure you’ll see when you move on to other teams, like they’re running today. they are not that. We have a lot of guys who have made plays in this league and are now looking to become normal players. That’s the hardest thing. We will have to face this challenge and attack it.

7. No there’s any idea who wins one of football’s top open position battles this summer, the corner point in front of Jalen Mills. All corners play with black gloves on each hand, to prevent them from grabbing the receivers, taking a look to eliminate. maintaining the consequences in high school. One of the contenders is Malcolm Butler, dressed in the maximum number for a corner I’ve seen: 4. He will look to return to Smart Thanks and Belichick’s list at 32. 5 after missing last year due to injury. It won’t be easy.
8. Excellent depth of running. Second-year Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to be the hardest hit, but it will remain a shared task, at least with Damien Harris. Stevenson is a confident runner and, at 230 pounds, will have to be impactful over short distances.
9. Do you realize how wonderful Nick Folk is?My 2021 professional kicker is 55 out of 56 in the ’50s over the past two seasons. What an underrated player.
10. Josh Uche, recruited to be a second-round player in 2020, had two such invisible first years (four sacks, only 414 plays). He will have his chance this year, and I am optimistic that he can do so. burst. But there’s tension in Uche (and Belichick, who recently had some bad drafts) so that, regardless, it’s a factor.
Over the years, almost thirteen of them, many of you will probably know that a guy named Dom Bonvissuto was the editor of my Monday column. tomorrows I needed both.
I’m writing about Dom today because this is the last FMIA column he will edit. He took a task with Outkick as an editor, and it’s smart for him. Dom, his wife Danny, and son Jude live in Nashville, and Outkick was founded there, and in many tactics it’s wonderful to have compatibility for Dom: a broader role, more day jobs in a developing matrix near his home in his beloved Nashville. .
Life is change. People are there all the time. We will continue to broadcast the column, on time, to Team NBC, and we will be smart, and very smart, other people will upgrade to Dom. But it’s hard when the most productive Monday morning editor I’ve ever had has had moves.
I have worked with Dom for two terms since 2008, interspersed with a two-year license to edit in NFL. com. He edited about 425 of Monday’s articles, first in Sports Illustrated and then in MMQB and then on NBC. By my count, with an average of 9,000 words consistent with the week, his bloodshot eyes read/grammatically corrected/checked spelling around 3,816,000 of my words. Many of those adjustments occurred at 3:08 a. m.
Editing a giant like this column is rarely about saying, don’t do that. It’s nonsense. It’s about being quick and wise and knowing which symbol matches and which name is wise. It’s actually a team effort. I trusted Dom’s recommendation as to what was the most productive news of the week, which was the most sensible in the column. And other things. Don’t nap me now, almost finished, for example. Now it’s important.
Editors are a must-have for the process of columns like this. I saw Tom Brady in Montana, on the deadline, a week after the Super Bowl came back 28-3, and I checked my writing that night/early in the morning, Brady dissecting each and every big play in the game. I was just looking to be compelling, to be understood, so that we can publish the column at a time when other people from all time zones are waking up. At 3:37 a. m. , with the last of the 10,943 words archived, Dom sent this email: “We’re fine. Good evening and very proud to have worked on this. It was great to do it right before I went out. “
I once closed a column about how I felt about Philadelphia’s hasty firing of Chip Kelly. I wrote this last graf: “Sad. Just very sad. He replaced it with: “Sad. “Période. Il wrote to me, “It’s bigger like Sad. I’m not a big fan of repetition. Dominate the right. Make words count.
I checked some of the communication threads between us on Sunday nights. I discovered one that is typical, since August 2015, in a week, I was traveling to educational camps. We communicated 89 times between 10:24 p. m. ET on Sunday and 4:26 a. m.
Communication 88, from me: “Thank you for your diligence. “
In ’89, via Dom: “No problem. It’s work.
The best answer.
“When we talked,” Dom said the other day, “I said ‘we. ‘We are a team. When the chronicle comes out, that’s our job. Sometimes I think editors and writers can paint opposites to each other, maybe take sides and not be flexible. I think the most productive way to paint was to be collaborative, not combative.
Words a in the word trade. I miss you, Dom.
This LIV golf story fascinates me, so I asked the golfer I know best, Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post, to interpret what it means. Our fast Q
FMIA: I’m not opposed to some kind of loose venture in golf, but I don’t like players who take money from the Saudis at all.
Cannizzaro: “I see it as you see it, on the one hand. The PGA Tour, LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour are all in bed with China. Everyone has organized a tournament in China, and the human rights record in China is no greater than in Saudi Arabia. So where do you draw the line? Everyone talks about Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post reporter killed by the Saudi government, which is true. But there are countless stories of injustice in China. This young Chinese tennis star has disappeared, the last one I know.
FMIA: What is the effect of LIV, actually? Is there really something wrong with a momentary tour?
Cannizzaro: “The worst thing about golf now is that some of the biggest players play on the PGA Tour and some on the LIV. The game is divided. It’s bad for golf. In my opinion, the PGA Tour does not have to ban golfers from playing in LIV events. There should be no explanation as to why they deserve to be suspended if they play their 15 mandatory PGA events during the year. It is clear that Saudi money is quite inexhaustible. They gained more momentum than they did. Pensó. Se have empowered them. Somehow, there will have to be a coexistence between the two. The PGA Tour will have to melt its stance.
FMIA: All this Phil Mickelson?
Cannizzaro: “Phil is 52 years old. He is one year and 3 months away from his remarkable victory in May 2021 at the PGA Championship. Its effects since then, even before the LIV controversy, have not been good. But it’s pretty transparent to me that he was affected by that. He is the face, the one who has received the maximum blows. Golf is such an intellectual game. You’ll have to have a nonviolent mind, and it doesn’t look like him.
FMIA: Tiger Woods didn’t seem tempted by the big money from the Saudis at all. For what?
Cannizzaro: “Well, he doesn’t want money. Legacy is a big deal for Tiger. Tiger is a wonderful golf enthusiast. It is strongly aligned with the PGA Tour. He’s not going to cross the PGA.
FMIA: A little off-topic, what about Tiger’s future?Is the post-car accident over for him?
Cannizzaro: “I think it’s over for Tiger to win a golf tournament again. I don’t know physically how much it’s going to get better. It was remarkable that he came back here to play the Masters, and it was a wonderful achievement that made the cut. The biggest indicator of his long career was as soon as he thought he was capable of competing, he pointed to the British Open in St. Andrews. This is his favorite field. Flat Walk, won twice, loves it. I was surprised that he didn’t make the cut. A course like this is won through golfers who know the nuances, and the fact that it shot two inflated scores was revealing. At age 46, it will become more and more powerful. I don’t think ceremonial golf is imminent. But it would be at a level where it’s more realistic to expect him to play the Big Four, and his annual events in the Bahamas and possibly Genesis, his tournament in Los Angeles.

On recovering from his after the mass shooting at a Buffalo grocery store
“Coach [Sean] McDermott told us, ‘Raise your hand if someone needs to faint and show off their womb. ‘There was no hand down. All the members of our team who were in the OTAs they saw there. that day just to be there, to show yours to the community.
“It’s something that still looks very, very bad. It feels very weird. But, to have and percentage of this experience, to show our help to the network, we will have to continue locating tactics so as not to leave it as something at once. . We need to continue to show that we help this network from all over Western New York. I think what brought the net together was that we had Micah Hyde’s charity softball game the next day to help. Again, it’s still. . . in The Locker Room it’s still difficult. I know that on the net it is difficult. We talk about tactics we can help.
Sobering figures about Julio Jones’ signing in Tampa Bay:
• In his six seasons, from 2014 to 2019, Jones missed 4 of 96 regular season games. He averaged 104 receptions and 1,565 season-consistent yards.
• In his last two seasons, 2020 and 2021, Jones missed 14 of 33 normal season games. He averaged receptions and 431 consistent yards for the season.
Another sobering metric:
• During the six peak seasons, Jones played at least 75% of the Falcons’ shots of the year.
• During the two seasons, Jones has played 38. 9% of his teams’ offensive plays.
In words, manage your expectations, Bucs fans.

Patriots fourth-round quarterback Bailey Zappe is the no. 55 in the camp. The moment in circulation, Tyquan Thornton, is 51 years old. And how strange is it to see Zappe take the maximum of the team shots of the moment the other day while wearing a linebacker number?
In 2018, he began giving draft selection numbers in the fifties. A few years earlier, he had gotten rid of the numbers of all draft picks in the spring, and the league forced the Patriots in 2016 to put them at least in the 3rd. low season practice phase. I assumed the number to announce the anonymity of the newbie. You haven’t done anything yet, but ESPN’s Mike Reiss announced another theory: he forced players to talk more in the box without the merit of numbers. Maybe that’s it. Or maybe having a quarterback using 55 a thumb from Belichick on his nose to the league.
This year, the Pats’ 8 most sensible picks (the last two, middle Chasen Hines and tackler Andrew Stueber are 63 and 69, which I’ll explain), received those numbers:
With fifty numbers remaining, the last two teams, Hines and Stueber, received the same numbers as always in the sixties. Just because.

Thursday will mark 22 months since the last landing scored by Kenny Golladay, who is paid $1,058,823 according to the game to score for the Giants.
As of October 5, 2020, are the landing totals of two former NFC North neighbors: Davante Adams 27, Kenny Golladay 0.
Three highlights of life on the road with NBC Sports producers and cameramen Kelsey Bartels and Morgan Miller in days:
FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) — Robert Kraft gives Elton John a ball at his final concert in Massachusetts Thursday night at Gillette Stadium. Elton’s first and last concerts in Foxboro.
One of the 90,000 present at the July 4, 1976 exhibit (our bicentennial) at the former Foxboro Stadium: Peter King, 19, of Enfield, Connecticut. I camped out with friends the night before to get the best seats for the concert. which had seats for the festival. Highlight of the exhibit: Elton, disguised as the Statue of Liberty, brought Billie Jean King to the level to sing “Philadelphia Freedom. “I know, I probably have it. But duty called. In court goats.
HARTFORD, Conn. – I spent 3 innings at Dunkin’ Donuts Park in downtown Hartford to watch the local Yard Goats (Double-A Rockies team) take on the Portland Sea Dogs (Maine). Ghost the city center was great to see. I love seeing the energy in the area as well as the cool stuff in the stadium. Three goats in a central enclosure (I met the big black man, “Fancy Pants”). The Yard Goats revered a disabled American veteran between entrances; he won a big hand from the crowd, and I’m sure much of his night was photographed with the mascot Dunkin’ Mango Cold Brew Cup. Rich Hill pitched for sea dogs the Red Sox’s rehab. their backs. Two guys from Enfield were sitting next to me. All night.
LATROBE, Pa. — Watch this video until the end. That says a lot about the fervor of Steeler enthusiasts on the first Saturday morning of campground in St. Vincent College, one hour east of Pittsburgh.

Good advice. From Jeff Haraldson: “Don’t let Josh Allen give you the handshake!Shake his hand!
Well, Jeff, you have company. As soon as 6 p. m. on Friday, 1 million other people had seen me stiffen Josh Allen 8 days ago at Bills camp.
– Chris Simms (@CSimmsQB) July 25, 2022
Rich Eisen laughed with me on his show, and at giants camp, Daniel Jones said, “I saw your smoothie with Josh Allen. “Later. . . at the end of each of those camp interviews, I look at the camera. and say something like, “At Camp Bills with Josh Allen, this is Peter King. That’s what I did in this case, and I never saw Allen’s outstretched hand. So when I did, I felt like an idiot, and so much the better. To me, Allen laughed and asked my cameraman, Kelsey Bartels, “Did you get it?” Happy that he is a smart athlete. And that, as Paul Harvey said, is the rest of the story.
Susan scores a point. From Susan Rowell: “Then you said last week about Lamar Jackson, ‘After Jackson’s injury-plagued 2021 season, I’m still upset about his playoff game. He is 1-3 in 4 playoff games, with losses to the Chargers (2018 season) and Titans (2019) at home. Do you need to insure Jackson for $46 million a year, or whatever?. . . I don’t know. ” But you said this week about Kyler Murray, who in a playoff appearance has a 40. 9 rating: “In Murray’s first 3 seasons, the Cardinals were 24-24-1 in the regular season and 0-1 in the playoffs. In the NFL,” you have no chance without a quarterback. Murray is rarely a quarterback in the top five, yet he gives the Cardinals a smart chance to win each and every game he starts. This makes you stratospheric money. So Lamar, who 39-12 in the same span, wants his value to be judged, but does Murray value it?It doesn’t make sense to me.
A very clever point, Suzanne. Je can simply answer by saying that Murray was drafted through a 3-13 team and took him to the playoffs in his third season, which was going to be a major risk (and in the season, I guess) without a new contract because he wasn’t going to play this year for $5. 8 million. Jackson hasn’t taken such risks, and it doesn’t look like he wants to have a new contract or possibly wouldn’t play this year. for the playoffs, if Jackson only had the playoff game against the Chargers (Baltimore was down 23-3 after 51 minutes and lost 23-17 in 2018), he would rule it out. But I had four. It bothers me. My intuition is that he’ll be a smart quarterback in the playoffs in his career, but I’d like to see him be like Mahomes in January, even once, before paying him more than Mahomes.
He shouldn’t have ruled out Orlando Brown. De Logan Ulrich: “I was disappointed the way you called the Chiefs to take over Orlando Brown. You know as well as anyone that [contracts] are rarely what they appear to be on the surface. “. . . $44 million of the $139 million [the deal he rejected] in the last year of the deal. There’s a smart chance it’s effective that you’ll never see. What’s left is five years and $95 million, $19 million a year, which is precisely the right’s most sensible version of the market and the insider’s five most sensible on the left. Offer, however, grouping this scenario even remotely near the radioactivity of the Deshaun Watson contract simply does not suit me. . . “
That’s right, Logan. Thank you for pointing it out. But this would go up: the paid hires in football right now are Trent Williams and David Bakhtiari. If he removes the final year of Williams’ contract from his six-year contract, that would average $21 million a year. If he removes Bakhtiari’s contract last year from the deal, he would charge an average of $17. 7 million. Paying Brown $19 million a year (canceling the last year of the contract, as you rightly say) after being the league’s 19th hire among initial hires last year is more than fair, in my opinion.
The paragraph Gammons. De Michael Guncheon: “What you decide and decide to include in your column is impressive to me. I’m not emotional, but I would say your column puts my emotion first. And that’s not necessarily a no-brainer His paragraph about Peter Gammons, for some reason, made me cry. It doesn’t save the world, but it helps maintain my hope for humanity.
Thank you very much, Michel. Je I think I am the only user in the company whose career has been influenced by Gammons.
1. I think it’s possibly not a national holiday (not yet, anyway), however, you might hear a couple of things about Tom Brady, who turns forty-five on Wednesday. Some notable things for me about the anniversary and its importance in NFL history, I sincerely doubt Brady, who will be looking to get into a new medium after Ryan Jensen’s injury at camp last week, is interested:
one. Brady, according to Alex Stern of the Elias Sports Bureau, would be the ninth player to play in an NFL game after turning 45. Five are exclusively kickers (Ben Agajanian, Adam Vinatieri, Morten Andersen, Gary Anderson and John Carney). A lineman named John Nesser played two games for the Columbus Panhandles in 1921, while winger Bobby Marshall played 3 games for the Duluth Kelleys in 1925.
You read that right: Brady, assuming he lines up to play Dallas in Week 1, would be the first non-kicker at forty-five or older to play an NFL game in 97 years.
Blanda is the only quarterback to throw a pass after age 45. He finished 7 of 22 passes after turning 45, those were more common sweeping pitches, with no quarterback starters, as he ended his career primarily as a kicker for the Raiders.
D. I doubt Brady will break that mark, but you never know: the oldest player to throw an NFL pass to Blanda, on Dec. 21, 1975, at 48 years and 95 days, according to Pro Football Reference. John Madden gave Blanda a few shots in the final game of the regular season, Oakland 28, KC 20, at the Oakland Coliseum. Blanda threw an interception to Willie Lanier and finished one of 3 passes.
In other words, a quarterback going to a Super Bowl competitor betting at forty-five is unprecedented.
2. I think the Expansion of Deebo Samuel (three years, $71. 6 million, announced Sunday night) is a smart compromise and frees the Niners from a headache that would have haunted them in September. I like the way it was handled. General Manager John Lynch refused to make bombastic statements about Samuel when he said he wanted to be induced, and he was never moved about it. Lynch didn’t know at the time if Samuel would make a deal or come back to the table to see what to do. When Lynch made it clear he wouldn’t try Samuel, and then let the story simmer for two months, he gave all parties time to reboot and calm down. Good task to get Samuel back, and smart for Samuel to make money after a wonderful season.
3. I think you’re probably seeing images of educational camps with players (mainly linemen, tight ends and linerests) dressed in Guardian Caps, the foam helmet supplement that is placed on helmets. The concept is to give the head a greater absorption of surprises. in case of helmet contact with helmet or when the helmet hits a forged surface. Tomlin says: “What convinced me was the knowledge that indicates that when a player uses it and hits a player who does not use it, the effect on the head is 10% less. And if any of the players use it, the impact is reduced by 20%. »
No one knows what the data will say after a summer of increased cap use, but the NFL hopes using the device will particularly reduce the number of concussions and subconsusal bumps in the summer. The league has noticed an accumulation of concussions in recent years during the preseason. “The brain doesn’t acclimatize to the effect of the head,” nfl medical director Dr. Allen Sills said. “The Guardian Cap is helping to mitigate those forces at a time in the season when we see the highest concentration of them. “This is a smart step. I’d like to see the players use them in each and every practice, on and off the season.
4. The life and times of Bill Russell deserve to be celebrated not only for basketball, but also for his contributions to society. As veteran basketball editor Bob Ryan noted after Russell’s death on Sunday, Russell groups have played 21 win-win games (in the NCAA Tournament or Olympics, or the last game in a series of NBA playoffs) and his team was 21-0 in games of about. He never averaged more than 19 consistent game problems during his NBA career, but his Celtics teams won 11 titles in his thirteen NBA seasons. These things may not happen again. His social activism is what helped him win the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011. He fought against hotel boycotts as an NBA player, boycotting a preseason game in Lexington, Kentucky, once when he and his teammates Blacks were denied hotel rooms. He joined Muhammad Ali and other athletes in supporting Ali’s refusal to be drafted. Russell simply would not back down from a consistently conceived injustice. His last public act in this arena: In 2017, at age 83, he posted a photo of himself kneeling in solidarity with NFL players. It was a style for all citizens to stand up for something, and the fashionable athlete greatly respected him for it. “Rest Bill Russell,” the Saints’ Jarvis Landry tweeted Sunday night.
5. Je I think, in case you sign up at home, my 39th education camp has five locations, and six more are planned for this week:
• Seen: Las Vegas, Buffalo, New England, N. Y. Giants, Pittsburgh.
• On the show (important word, life is fungible) this week: Cincinnati, Tennessee, Tampa Bay, Green Bay, Chicago, Minnesota.
• Little things I’ve seen so far: Derek Carr’s mastery of a new offense with the Raiders, and his love of learning and commanding his team. . . WR Gabriel Davis’ attention to his craft. Juggs device after education were noticed. . . Devin McCourty’s love of football, and after his brother’s retirement, his inability to let it pass to New England. . . The respect the Giants have for Xavier McKinney’s safety, and the high expectations they have for him and the way he embraces both. . . Rookie Kenny Pickett brought in the Pittsburgh crowd (huge, just huge) with an early landing in practice located in the left corner of the purpose area. Keep my words in mind: assuming Pickett doesn’t start, the locals will beat the drum very early if the incumbent has problems.
6. I think he saw this in Mary Kay Cabot’s office of the Cleveland Plain Dealer after the first Browns camp practice open to the public on Saturday, at the reception given to Deshaun Watson: “Not only did anyone protest, Watson cheered as he ran on the education field, and when he left after spending about half an hour interacting with the fans. Interesante. No completely surprising.
7. Je believes veteran attorney Sue L. Robinson is about to be called for the first time in a long legal life.
8. I think I don’t like what he says: there were more writings and discussions about the helmets chosen for NFL teams in the current part of July than about Daniel Snyder and Congress, Deshaun Watson and any other news that really means anything. (And now I’ll ask you to leave my lawn. )
9. I think this story has had about 16 lives in the last six days, but here’s my take on the Kyler Murray contract clause that hasn’t become a contract clause anymore: It’s the dumbest clause I’ve ever seen. seen in an NFL contract. Intentionally or not (and someone inside the team needed to embarrass Murray?), this clause requiring Murray to spend at least 4 hours reading the game plan each game week was going to go away. It was too sensational not to pass out. And so the end results of that would be embarrassing for Murray and underscore that the team was concerned that the young quarterback was spending enough time on his job. Imagine a clause like that for Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson or Josh Allen, all known as employed bees. They would laugh. Because of all the darts thrown at Murray (and some at the team), the Cardinals scrapped the clause. But damage was done to Murray’s reputation. And I can’t help but wonder how long it will take to repair the relationship between him and the team.
10. Je those are my other thoughts of the week:
one. As I tour the country, I’m still amazed at the amount of beers. How do all breweries survive?
b. Waze is amazing. How loose is he?” Police at 0. 1 mile,” warned Friday night at the Pennsylvania Turnpike, our small team heading to Latrobe and the Steelers. Sure enough, there is a Pennsylvania state soldier on the side of the road 10 seconds ahead.
Beernerdness: Reader Bjorn Anderson asked for more Beernerdness and Coffeenerdness, so I’ll keep that in mind in the coming weeks. Today’s edition: Castle Island White Ale (Castle Island Brewing, Norwood, Mass. ) I’m a fan of wheat beers/white beers, and this one was a bit more hoppy than most. It had a wonderful smell and taste of cilantro with a smart head, but not the same sweetness of an Allagash White. New England has a wonderful position for beers of all kinds, and this, if you like style, is a smart tasting.
D. Congratulations on weight loss, Greg Bedard. Just amazing. So satisfied for you.
Story of the week: Michael Finnegan of the Los Angeles Times, with one of the best of the year.
F. Excellent quote and I love the montage of Finnegan in his story:
TIVAT, Montenegro — The plane left Lisbon for the east. After passing through Madrid and Barcelona, it flew over the Mediterranean and the Italian peninsula: Rome on the left, Naples on the right.
The husband and wife who were enjoying the full cabin with their black dog were convicted by Los Angeles scammers on the sixth day of a bold getaway. While police around the world were on alert to arrest them, they had snuck into Portugal and hoped to disappear into the Balkans by nightfall.
His destination country, Montenegro, a mountainous country a few hundred kilometers off the Adriatic coast of Greece, a option for criminals in the United States. the city in the beautiful Bay of Kotor, framed by the steep slopes of the Dinaric Alps.
There, the couple would lose their identity as Richard Ayvazyan and Marietta Terabelian, leaders of a family fraud ring that raised $18 million in pandemic aid for shell corporations in the San Fernando Valley. This was one of the many sinister scams of scammers who lied. to obtain rescue loans in the 2020 shutdowns.
Fake Mexican passports with photographs incorporated by experts would pave the way for the couple in Montenegro. Rich and Mary followed new names worthy of a nineteenth-century novel: Roberto Niko De León and Nataly Rose Pérez García.
Is this life genuine or the beach reading of summer?
h. Such a clever way to make sure the reader is immersed in the story. I saw my outrage boil when I learned that those other people had stolen $18 million from you and me, essentially, to fund a glorious, undeserved life. . . not to mention the abandonment of their 3 young men as they fled. Who does that?
I. Criminal Story of the Week: Michael Hall of Texas Monthly with “Murders on the Lake,” about an unsolved triple homicide in Waco in 1982. (M/T from reader Conrad Roblejo).
J. You’ll need time to pass, but the research is compelling.
k. Je disagree, “Jeopardy!” Mayim Bialik will be full-time, not sharing the job with Ken Jennings. Ken is a great guy, Mayim is an herbalist at the concert.
As a Red Sox fan, I would notice if he traded Xander Bogaerts on the deadline for a bigger lead. But re-signing Rafael Devers in the long term?That would be unacceptable.
Mr. Mec, the Reds were rescued by a rather inconsistent pitcher, Luis Castillo. They’ve turned a very smart year for Castillo so far (2. 87 ERA, 1. 07 WHIP) into a wonderful comeback from Seattle’s perspective.
Would you pay a huge value in players and customers for Juan Soto, in addition to a contract of $38 million a year?It’s a shocking signal and exchange.
o. Song of the Week: The Covid/Isolation video from Crowded House’s “Something So Strong. “
This song is one of my hidden favorites, and how smart is the generation that allows five other people elsewhere to play their parts of a wonderful song and then look how smart it sounds when they intertwine?
Q. Radio Story of the Week: Carrie Feibel of National Public Radio, on the dilemma of health-stricken mothers and reluctant doctors as new abortion legislation goes into effect.
r. Il is an apolitical inclusion in the column, included only because of the quality of the story and the place in which we stand as a society if we do not know what to do with the women whose lives are in danger with the young children they aspire to bring to term it still cannot. From hitale:
In the medical profession, doctors will continue to struggle with new legal restrictions and resulting dilemmas in obstetric care, says Dr. Alan Peaceman. Professor of Maternal Fetal Medicine at Northwestern. Va to spend some time before. . . the medical network doesn’t get some kind of consensus on where you draw that line and where you say enough. Because it doesn’t exist right now. And if you leave that to individuals, you’ll have uncertainty and other people who aren’t willing to make decisions.
It’s not something I want to worry about, but I found it interesting: a segment of Alison Stewart’s WNYC radio show “All of It” about when kids deserve to have smartphones. Stewart interviewed Catherine Pearlman, who wrote “First Phone: A Kids’ Guide to Digital Responsibility, Security and Etiquette. “(Scroll down to the 22-minute interview at the bottom of the screen. )
t. Pearlman says there’s no age to offer those phones to kids. “The first thing is, ‘What’s the need?'” Common sense. Most kids get those phones between the ages of 8 and 11 now, which surprises me, it turns out early. But Pearlman has smart rules to abide by and smart concepts about phone regulations at a young age.
you. Solid third and fourth episodes of “Wesley”, Tom Rinaldi’s Lyman Bostock capsule. What a story of life (and death). I am disappointed to anticipate the tragedy of episode 5, when, presumably, the story of Bostock, one of the most productive baseball players, killed during a vacation on the road in 1978 is revealed.
v. Ahhhh, owning the Jim Irsay Colts and loving and collecting artifacts that are known and mysterious. On Tuesday night at the AON Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier in Chicago, Irsay will make his debut with his last valuable possession: the belt with the boxing name “Rumble in the Jungle” won through Muhammed Ali his bout with George Foreman in Africa in 1974. Jim Brown, a friend of the two fighters, will be Irsay’s guest at the event. And it’s free, from 7 p. m. to 10 p. m. m. . The complete irsay collection, political, antique and sporting, will be on display.
w. Se’s all about nothing. But so far, 4 other people along the way have told me about the books I reviewed in early June in the Father’s Day book section. The other day at the Giants, John Mara said he had read Don Winslow’s “City on Fire” and hunted down Kostya Kennedy’s Jackie Robinson book. I like that. It’s not that other people read the books I recommend, necessarily, but that other people read them.
X. Thank you for inviting me to your group, Cam Heyward. No I know when my episode of “Not Just Football with Cam Heyward” will be live, but he left the education floor on Saturday and sat by the box and recorded it. Good host. A curious guy. And prepared.
When you get to 65, like it did with me in June, and you look at the educational camp program, and you see, “Sunday, July 31: Writing Day,” man, it’s great to be able to do it at a hotel in Cincinnati, exercise your brain a little bit, and figure out precisely what you need to write. Pressing in 4 Orioles-Reds innings doesn’t hurt either. It’s great to be back in my old city.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin organizes the excursion to Latrobe’s educational camp in three words. One word for every playoff win in the last 12 seasons.
You write about “Robinson’s portrayal of the 24 women who came out ahead,” but most of the media (including PFT) say the NFL only presented evidence of four of those women plus an additional accuser and, according to the ABC, that’s all Array was allowed?Isn’t that the NFL’s real question? Even if they wanted to focus on a few cases, why didn’t they integrate the others enough to allow Robinson to get to the extreme of Watson’s behavior?
These additions to the helmets show that the NFL realizes that the ETC challenge is potentially a profit killer.
Yes, 3 playoff wins are overlooked for Tomlin, for those who are excited to see: his praise of “not wasting the season. “If you need to remain mediocre, stick with Tomlin.
Feel like you’re heading to the Midwest for the Packers, Bears and Vikings, you write anything about the old cheese league that the NFL had there for a few years. It was something we will never see again and will miss.
Josh Gordon was sanctioned for years without causing harm to anyone but his own brain cells, while Watson was sanctioned for six weeks. Summarize the NFL.
If she needs to protect her resolution by employing precedents, then give her 6 sets for each of the women. He may live with 24 of those 6-game suspensions. Because if Big Ben had done what he did at any given time, he would have gotten at least 6 more games. It’s consistency.
Bill Russell.
Winner.
Everything else is statistical.
