At the NFL spring meetings in Boston this afternoon, owners voted to award Super Bowls L and LI—in 2016 and 2017—to the Bay Area and Houston. That leaves Miami as the only finalist to go home empty-handed. Should've paid for those stadium renovations, South Florida!...
The Summer Of Gronk Pauses For Nothing, Not Even Surgery
It (sort of) looks that way, according to Zachary, our tipster. But it's tough to be sure.

And Then There Were Four: David Garrard Quits Jets QB Derby
When the Jets drafted Geno Smith, it gave them a whopping six quarterbacks.
