NFL winning teams do winning team things. And NFL losing team do losing team things. And we are seeing an example of that Tuesday morning as the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets are doing their things.
These two teams will open the regular season against each other next Monday night in Santa Clara.
And in preparation for that matchup, the 49ers late Monday night got close to wrapping up a contract extension for left tackle Trent Williams. Negotiations, unproductive for weeks, are so close that Williams flew from his home in Houston to report to the team on Tuesday.

Let’s hand out some NFL superlatives before the start of the season.
The beginning of the NFL regular season is just around the corner, and that officially closes the offseason. While most high school graduates had their proms and festivities back before summer, we realized we never had a proper sendoff for the NFL class of 2023.

I’m sure you’ve all seen the video clip by now, but the Gators head coach had some very generic words for the fans that are riled up on social media following the loss to Miami this past weekend. We’ll get back to that part in a bit.
On First Take, Stephen A.
I would’ve loved to have watched USC vs LSU this weekend or the U.S. Tennis Open considering I had money on both.
Unfortunately, thanks to DirecTV and ESPN’s ongoing fighting, myself and millions of other cable subscribers were left in the dark, literally, as the channel went black right before kickoff AND in the middle of an Open match.
