7 NFL records that could be broken this weekend — thanks to the extra game
2021 marked the first NFL season with each team playing 17 games in the regular season.

Cole Anthony is putting a rough North Carolina career behind him, and starting the 2021 season on a tear
It was no brainer that Cole Anthony would be a top NBA draft pick one day.

When Keyzer Soze infamously said, “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist,” at the end of The Usual Suspects, he wasn’t just talking about the con he’d just gotten away with. He was also foreshadowing what Sam Hinkie would do to Sixers fans....
Lions lionsing about alert: Kicking the tires on Todd Gurley

NFL Will Now Investigate Washington Redskins For Bounty Program
On Friday, it was reported that the Washington Redskins, under Gregg Williams, also had a bounty program similar to the Saints', where the Skins would pay out for "kill shots." The NFL is now investigating the matter and focusing on Williams' time with the team between 2004 and 2007....
Uh Oh, Cleveland
No one is saying the city of Cleveland should be panicking right now, but it does seem like hoarding canned goods and putting your life savings into mason jars would not be the worst idea in the world. All is ... not well....
It's Not Traveling Unless Duke Says It's Traveling
I don't understand why people think that Duke gets special treatment in the college basketball world. Are they trying to say that another school wouldn't get way with 12 steps between each dribble?...
Ricky Williams Gets High...er Salary, 1-Year Extension
The love affair between Miami RB Ricky Williams and Dolphins management is in full bloom, as the NFL's house practitioner of holistic medicine received an extension through the 2009 season, and reportedly a pay raise to boot.
