An older brother took one for the team, or at least his family.
A young teenage Bills fan had been waiting his entire life to get this close to a Bills star like their current quarterback Josh Allen.
However, when that moment finally came on Wednesday at the Bills training camp in Rochester, New York, he didn’t want an autograph from Allen. Heck, he didn’t even want a photo with him. Instead, the unnamed older brother asked Josh if he would give his little sister a hug.

Doug Pederson’s first year as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars was an overwhelming success and Calvin Ridley is only set to advance that achievement. A team that had won just four games in each of the last two years combined went 9-8, won its first division title since 2017 and won an NFL playoff game for just the third time since the turn of the millennium.
Trevor Lawrence played a huge role in Jacksonville’s winning ways. He was awesome, especially down the stretch, and his leadership as a second-year player cannot be understated.

The Charlotte 49ers of the AAC.
Charlotte’s coach, Biff Poggi (right off the bat, that’s a great name, so I’m already partial to Poggi), seems to be quite a character based on his media interactions this week.
On Tuesday, Poggi didn’t hide his disgust at AAC media day when the journalists in attendance could muster up only three questions for him.
Paula Scanlan, a teammate of Lia Thomas‘ on the Penn women’s swim team, testified in front of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Thursday.

Garbage time.
It’s the scenario in which a game has become a blowout and the final result has been determined, but there’s still time left on the clock. The defense for the winning team starts playing more conservatively, which can lead to “garbage time points” for the trailing offense. Those points are meaningless as it pertains to the game’s final outcome … but they still count just like “regular points” in our fantasy matchups.
It’s been six months since Sean Payton took over as head coach of the Denver Broncos. And he’s wasted no time going scorched earth on the former regime.
“Everything I heard about last season, we’re doing the opposite,” Payton said.
In an interview with USA Today, the outspoken coach described everything that went wrong in the Broncos’ disappointing 2022 campaign.
“It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,” Payton said. “And that happened here.

Rivals in your league may mock you for reaching, but do you want to wait and end up with an average signal-caller? There are pros and cons to each approach.
Getting hit with a major league fastball hurts. That’s why pitchers do it on purpose sometimes. If you want to retaliate against a player, planting a pitch in their back or butt is going to hurt, and hurting a guy can sound like a good way to revenge.

In the fourth inning of Wednesday night’s game against the Yankees, McNeil got drilled squarely in the center of his back by a 96 mph fastball from Carlos Rodón.
