    Trevor Lawrence is the best true freshman QB I've ever seen. If I was running an NFL team, I'd be making trades for as many 2021 picks I could get my hands on.

    For those still doubting Frank Gore's HOF credentials (are there any of you left?), with 46 rushing yards on Sunday, he will surpass Barry Sanders and move into third place on NFL’s all-time list: Emmitt Smith 18,335 Walter Payton 16,726 Barry Sanders 15,269 Frank Gore 15,224

    I told my Twitter helper I wanted to say something about how I think Mike Leach would be a great candidate for the FSU opening. Told him to be creative. This is what he came up with. Said it was a meam and the kids would understand.

    Forfeiture by @Bucks comes exactly four years to the day of Colin Kaepernick taking a knee for the first time.

    Jalen Suggs, the second cousin of Terrell Suggs, is the only person in Minnesota history to win the state's Mr. Basketball and Mr. Football awards in the same season. He was a four-star, state-championship, duel-threat QB in football and a five-star in basketball.

    The phone of former Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury has been ringing off the hook from NFL teams, including two that have given him firm offers. College offense has infiltrated the NFL and Kingsbury's superb knowledge of it is in high demand.

    Ron Wolf once said his greatest regret during his tenure in Green Bay was not listening to a young scout pound the table for Terrell Davis during the 1995 draft. That scout was 35-yo John Dorsey. John's always had an eye for talent. What he pulled off today was his opus magnum.

    We never cleared the room but sometimes we'd lay traps for scouts we didn't trust. In 1987 we showed our board to a scout with us taking Mike Junkin, a LB we didn't like. Two days later, Cowboys beat writer Jim Dent wrote story saying we were taking Junkin. Hook, line, stinker.
    Sources: #Raiders coach Jon Gruden and GM Mike Mayock sent their scouts home for the weekend and they are not expected to return by draft time. The belief is they don’t know who to trust and wanted to clear the room.

    This morning while learning of Dwayne Haskins’ passing, I reacted carelessly and insensitively on a radio interview. I want to apologize to Mr. Haskins’ family and anyone who heard my poor choice of words. I truly apologize. My heart goes out to his family at this difficult time.

    After observing pft’s obsessiveness with @AaronRodgers12, which Sunday night stood at 78 tweets since the Rodgers covid news first broke (not a single one showing concern for the QB’s health), someone got a little sensitive. 😂
