The Cleveland Browns made NFL history by being the first team to start four different quarterbacks over many games.

The Carolina Panthers have had a disastrous season and own the worst record in the league, but the Chicago Bears have the Panthers first pick in the NFL draft from their Bryce Young trade last year.

The Russell Wilson saga continues. According to reports, the Denver Broncos benched the veteran quarterback due to his $37 million injury guarantee. The provision kicks in for the 2025 season. The team would be liable if Wilson got injured in the last two weeks of this season and prevent him from passing a physical in March.  The NFL Players Association claims that the team threatened to bench Wilson if he didn’t agree to adjust his contract. If that proves to be true, the NFLPA has stated they will purse legal action, as the threat violates the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Denver’s head coach Sean Payton denies knowing anything about the conversations.

FOOTBALL

Here’s some quarterback news from the weekend:

New York Giants’ Tommy DeVito (25-years old) came back from a disappointing week with a big win over the Commanders on Sunday. The Giants season is over at 3-8, but DeVito proved he could be up for the challenges going forward with a 246 yard, three touchdown (no interception) game.

The San Francisco 49ers phenom Brock Purdy threw for a perfect 158.3 passer rating on Sunday in a win over Tampa Bay. He’s the first 49er since Hall of Famer Joe Montana to accomplish that feat.

The Cleveland Browns signed quarterback Joe Flacco to their practice squad after the team lost starting quarterback Deshaun Watson for the season due to a shoulder injury.

The latest College Football Playoff rankings are out with the top five teams undefeated:  Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, Washington, and Florida State.  Bitter rivals, Michigan and Ohio State will battle it out on Saturday.

The Buffalo Bills-Cleveland Browns game on Sunday has been moved to Ford Field in Detroit due to a massive snowstorm expected in Buffalo.

The trailer for ’80 for Brady’, a film based on a true story of four elderly female best friends who take a trip to see Tom Brady and the Patriots in Super Bowl LI, is out and looks entertaining. Brady plays himself and is a producer in the movie. Gronk makes an appearance as well.

SOCCER

Just two days before the start of the World Cup, Qatari officials decided only nonalcoholic drinks will be served in the stadium. Not only are fans upset, but the ban on beer sales is likely to complicate FIFA’s $75 million sponsorship agreement with Budweiser.

BASKETBALL

After an investigation surfaced accusing Robert Sarver (owner of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury) of mistreating employees and “fostering a toxic workplace”, the owner agreed to sell the franchises. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos  and former Disney CEO Bob Iger have expressed an interest in buying the Suns, which is valued at $1.8 billion.

Tiger Wants Changes On PGA Tour, Browns Owner Admits Deshaun Suspension BC He’s A Star, Brady On “Masked Singer”?

GOLF

Tiger Woods is attempting to use his influence to stem the flood of players heading from the PGA Tour to the Saudi Arabia sponsored LIV tour. Woods assembled 15 top players to discuss changes to the PGA including $20 million purses.

FOOTBALL

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam defended Deshaun Watson’s 11-game suspension (instead of the whole season) by stating “People deserve second chances.” He also went on to say, “And you can say, ‘Well, that’s because he’s a star quarterback.’ Well, of course.” Watson is scheduled to return in week 13 when Cleveland plays Watson’s former team, the Houston Texans.

Tom Brady has been absent from practices and pre-season games for the past month. Tampa Bay Coach Todd Bowles explained that Brady was “tending to personal things.”  One theory is that Brady left to film an episode of “The Masked Singer.” The show is part of Fox Network (where Brady will work when he retires), and Brady’s former teammates Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown at one point appeared on the show.

Serena Williams Plans To Retire After The Open, Goodell Wants Watson Suspended For Season, Browns To Start Watson In Preseason Opener

TENNIS

Serena Williams, the GOAT of women’s tennis, said she’ll be retiring after the US Open. It seems fitting that she’ll finish her amazing career in the place where it all started. Williams won her first of 23 Grand Slam singles titles at the US Open in 1999 when she was 17 years old. She now says she’d like to focus on being a mother and growing her business, Serena Ventures, which she started in 2014. The venture capital firm focuses on founders from underrepresented groups. A few of the startups receiving checks from Serena Ventures include MasterClass, Noom, Tonal and Impossible Foods. Fans are furiously grabbing tickets to the Open to see Serena play, and the first two days of the tournament are already sold out. In anticipation of Serena playing in the Finals on September 10th, StubHub is selling tickets for over $12,000 apiece.

FOOTBALL

The NFL is appealing Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s six-game suspension. Commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters he thinks Watson should be suspended for the entire 2022 season instead of only 6 games. The Browns don’t seem to be too concerned by the drama, as they are planning on starting Watson in their pre-season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

FOOTBALL

The Houston Texans traded controversial quarterback Deshaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for some three first-round, a third, and a fourth-round draft picks. The Browns agreed to a record 5-year contract worth a guaranteed $230 million. Watson has been accused of sexual misconduct and is still facing 22 active lawsuits.

BASKETBALL

The biggest story out of the NCAA tournament is Saint Peter’s (from New Jersey City, NJ) becoming only the third #15 seed to reach the Sweet 16.

Steelers Beat Browns On MNF, Roethlisberger Final Home Game, Antonio Brown Spotted At Nets Game

FOOTBALL

On Monday Night Football, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns 26-14 in what is likely quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s final home game.

The bizarre Antonio Brown incident is still somewhat of a mystery. According to reports, Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians pressured Brown into playing before his ankle was fully healed. After exiting the field shirtless, Arians announced Brown is no longer a member of the team. Brown was seemingly unfazed by his unemployment status and was seen courtside at a Grizzlies-Nets game Monday night.

Broncos/Browns Know How To Win, Titans Shock Rams, Steelers Beat Bears For Tomlin’s 150 wins, Raiders Release Arnette, LeBron Out, Bucks Visit WH

FOOTBALL

According to the Sports Business Journal, interest in the NFL is on the upswing. This year, NFL games are slated to have the highest number of games in TV’s top 100 telecasts.

With that said, here is a highlight of some of the weekend/Monday night games:

The Denver Broncos lost their defensive star Von Miller, and the Cleveland Browns broke up with Odell Beckham Jr, but both teams managed big wins over the weekend. The Broncos dominated the Dallas Cowboys (who had QB Dak Prescott back on the field) 30-16, while the Browns, thanks to running back Nick Chubb, ran over the Cincinnati Bengals 41-16.

The Tennessee Titans, without their star Derrick Henry, shocked everyone with a 28-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. And at 36 years old, Adrian Peterson came off the practice squad to score a touchdown.

On Monday night football, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Chicago Bears 29-27, giving coach Mike Tomlin the second-most wins in franchise history (150).

In other NFL news, the Las Vegas Raiders are having some major personnel problems. After releasing first-round pick Henry Ruggs III for driving under the influence resulting in the death of a driver, they’ve now released Damon Arnette for threatening to kill someone. Arnette was also a first-round pick (19th overall in 2020 from Ohio State).

BASKETBALL

LeBron James could be out for four to eight weeks due to an abdominal strain.

The Milwaukee Bucks were honored at the White House for their 2021 NBA title. They are the first team to visit the White House in almost five years.
