DEFLATEGATE UPDATE: It's deflating to have to talk about the NFL's dumb scandals all the time, but here we are. NFL investigator Ted Wells took shots at Tom Brady and his agent for suggesting that this was all a sting operation. Brady's lawyering up with a heavy hitter, who has a solid record taking on the league.
Rise ‘n Grind: Tom Brady is bringing in the big guns
The DeflateGate fight is only just beginning.
LAST WORD: Here are some final thoughts on DeflateGate that really should be the last word on it all.
HEY GOOD LOOKING: It’s important that you get to know Jimmy Garoppolo now, so here’s an introduction to Mr. Handsome. And you should definitely read Grantland’s Robert Mays discussing the on-field implications of a Brady-less Patriots.
POOR PHILIP: Folks, Philip Rivers is a really good quarterback, but he’s constantly overlooked and overshadowed by other quarterbacks and some really dumb circumstances. Take a look at the football life of the middle child in a golden age of quarterbacks.
THE SMARTEST QB EVER: When Aaron Rodgers isn’t doing amazing football things or playing Settlers of Catan, he’s doing other things ... like winning Jeopardy.
BET ON THE BOYS: Vegas gave the Cowboys major props for their offseason work, with a big jump in their Super Bowl odds.
FREE AGENCY, PART 2: We could be in for another wave of free agent moves. But don’t get too excited about it. The Lions added wide receiver Lance Moore, which is one notable happening from that second wave.
AN EMBARRASSMENT: Bobby Bowden says that FSU fans and boosters were “embarrassed” by Jameis Winston. I’m sure they dealt with it when he helped deliver a national championship.
BUCS WIN: The Buccaneers claimed recently jettisoned Texans safety D.J. Swearinger. It’s a good addition, just don’t ask him to play special teams, I guess.
SCANDAL AVOIDED: League investigators said the Dolphins did not tamper with Ndamukong Suh in free agency. So there’s one less offseason disciplinary action we have to worry about.
K-GUN SHOTS FIRED: ESPN is giving those outstanding Buffalo Bills teams of the 1990s the 30 for 30 treatment, which should be fun.
TERRY’S KID: Football player turned actor Terry Crews gave Vernon Davis a ringing endorsement for his acting chops.
MAKE OR BREAK, AGAIN: 2015 is a pivotal year for RG3 and his future in Washington. No, really.
