The Jets Paid An Awful Lot To Draft A Quarterback, But They Didn't Really Have A Choice
That the Colts would trade out of the No. 3 spot in the NFL draft has a fairly straightforward explanation: Indianapolis is pretty confident Andrew Luck’s shoulder will be fine (at some point), and the return the Colts got from the Jets—the No. 6 pick and two second-round selections this year, plus ...

Not Even A Laser Can Solve This Curling Conundrum
In Elite 10 curling action on Friday night, two opposing stones ended up so close to the center of the rings that the teams needed increasingly sophisticated technology to measure any difference in distance—and even then, it couldn’t solve their problem.

Report: Sam Bradford Is Going To Make Another $15 Million At Least
Sam Bradford had a great first week of the 2017 NFL season as he threw for 346 yards and three TDs in the Vikings’ 29-19 victory over the Saints. Then he bruised his knee, missed the next three weeks, returned, re-injured his knee in Week 5, had knee surgery in November, and didn’t play again....

Tom Brady Chugs "Beer" On <i>Late Show</i>
Tom Brady visited The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight, accepting the host’s challenge to chug a “beer.” We put the beverage in scare quotes because there’s a decent question as to what, exactly, the Super Bowl-losing quarterback actually quaffed....

Tom Brady Reveals That His Thumb Injury Was Gross
It feels like so long ago that practically every New England media member scrutinized Tom Brady’s gloved throwing hand to figure out if it was seriously injured, right before the Jaguars-Patriots AFC title game.

The Browns Trade A QB, Receive A QB, And Still Need A QB

Radford Earns Big South Conference Championship With Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater
I’m still digging the buzzer-beaters over here. This one comes from the Big South Conference tournament final, where 2nd-seed Radford had the last possession of a tied game against 5th-seed Liberty, who’d knocked out top-seed UNC Asheville on Friday. The Highlanders ran off some clock and set a pair...

Brad Stevens Says Gordon Hayward Will For Sure Not Play For The Celtics This Season
Gordon Hayward shared a video Friday of a workout that looked startlingly basketball-ish. This, you can imagine, has led to a fresh round of speculation about whether Hayward could return to the court this season, something that seemed absolutely impossible with his leg looking like a wet noodle on ...

Which Was Longer: James Harden's Staredown Or Tom Brady's Kiss With His Son?
Everyone had a hearty chuckle (or gasped in horror) as James Harden extracted Wesley Johnson’s soul with a crossover last night, but The Outline’s Jeremy Gordon had an offhand joke that made us think.

Does GRRM Have No Pages Because He's Too Busy Going To Dead Shows In Mexico With Miami Radio Hosts?
Here are the facts: The Winds Of Winter, the sixth book in George RR Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire series, is still not out.

Red Wings Trade Former Franchise Goalie For Melted Ice
It’s not that the Red Wings’ trade of goalie Petr Mrazek to Philadelphia was any massive surprise, or even that the Flyers screwed Detroit with an unfair deal.
