The NFL officially postponed the Buffalo Bills’ wild-card round playoff matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to severe weather on Saturday, bumping that game at Highmark Stadium to Monday.
Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III believes the league shouldn’t stop there.
“The Dolphins-Chiefs game should be postponed too,” Griffin posted on social media while declaring the current weather in Kansas City is “not safe” for fans planning to attend.

Liberty just enjoyed its most successful season at the FBS level, registering a 13–1 record to go with a Conference USA championship and a Fiesta Bowl berth.
Now, the program is flexing about its feats in the classroom—but not everyone is impressed.
The Flames took to social media Friday to crow about their academic success, boasting about the team’s 2.96 cumulative grade-point average.
“Getting it done in the classroom,” the team posted on X, formerly Twitter.

ESPN is reportedly in talks with the NFL to give the league a piece of the cable network.
According to The New York Post‘s Andrew Marchand, talks between the two parties are moving right along, with things reportedly being so far along that owners and the NFLPA have already been given a heads-up about them due to the revenue-sharing implications involved.
A deal would reportedly involve ESPN taking over the NFL’s in-house media division, straightforwardly known as NFL Media. This includes NFL Films, as well as the NFL Network, NFL Red Zone, and NFL+.

The Longhorns have locked in their head coach after a Big 12 championship and a trip to the College Football Playoff.

The Las Vegas Raiders locker room has united behind their interim head coach, Antonio Pierce. And Maxx Crosby is leading the charge.
The dominant edge rusher has already been vocal in his support for Pierce as the Raiders conduct their coaching search — using the hashtag #HireAP on social media. But according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Crosby is now drawing a line in the sand.
The 26 year old will reportedly explore a trade request if Las Vegas doesn’t keep Pierce.

And Crosby is not exactly disposable.

Texas football has signed coach Steve Sarkisian to a four-year contract extension through 2030, the school announced on Saturday.
“Coach Sark is an incredible coach, a first-class person, and a tremendous leader of men,” Chairman of the UT System Board of Regents Kevin Eltife said in a statement. “We knew he was the man for the job when we hired him three years ago, and the way he stuck to the plan he laid out for us, stayed the course in putting everything in place, and got our football program back among the best in the nation has been phenomenal.

Count Matt Leinart as one of the people who wants to keep youth football alive in California.
The Golden State passed legislation on Wednesday that would ban youth football in the state. Thanks to a 5-2 vote from the State Assembly committee that regulates sports, the bill now moves to a vote from the full Assembly.
Proponents of the bill cited mitigating injury risk and dropping numbers in participation in football as the main reasons for creating the legislation.

Reggie Bush is humorously suggesting that legendary Alabama coach Nick Saban did not retire due to his age.
On Friday, ESPN’s SportsCenter account on Instagram posted an image of the 72-year-old Saban featuring a quote about why the seven-time national champion decided to retire now.
“My age started to become a little bit of an issue,” Saban is quoted in the post. “People wanted assurances that I was going to be here for three years, five years, whatever. It got harder and harder to be honest with them.

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball now will be allowed to display the tattoo under his left ear, a reversal of the NBA’s decision to deem that a rule violation, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Ball has the letters “LF” tattooed on his neck, which symbolizes LaFrance, Ball’s middle name and the name of his clothing line and lifestyle brand. In November, the NBA told Ball he had to cover the tattoo since it violated the league’s policy regarding players promoting commercial or corporate logos on their bodies.

Nick Hicks, the trainer for Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa, isn’t buying what the NFL and Buffalo Bills are selling.
Unless they’re selling toilet paper. Hicks will accept that, as you’ll see. Anything else? Hogwash!
