Would it shock you to learn that star college football players receive better treatment than scrubs?
Go ahead and take a seat because you’re about to learn some potentially life-altering news.
It turns out that star players might actually be treated much better than players who never see the field, according to former Penn State tight end Adam Breneman.
“[Former Penn State coach Bill] O’Brien was like, ‘There’s a scale, dude. Like, if you’re really good at football, like, and make a lot of plays on Saturdays, then you can probably get away with messing some other things up.

A video from Cowboys training camp went viral Tuesday where Trevon Diggs can be heard cursing out Dak Prescott after a play where the quarterback failed to move the sticks for the offense. Prescott was forced to roll to his right and the play was called dead when it was clear he wasn’t going anywhere. After the stop, the star cornerback can be heard telling the franchise signal-caller to “shut your b—- a– up.”
Prescott has been the target of constant scrutiny over the past several seasons because of Dallas’s inability to make a deep postseason run.
Good work, nuts.
Wednesday night was big for Diamondbacks rookie Slade Cecconi. The rookie made his debut for Arizona after being picked in the 2020 MLB Draft, and thanks to his catcher’s nuts he got his first strike out! Wait … what?

This had to go to review after a Diamondbacks challenge.
1. The greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady, turns 46 years old today. Internet Law says you are supposed to celebrate birthdays ending in only a 0 or 5. I say bulls—. When it comes to the GOAT, you celebrate all birthdays.
So in honor of the occasion, I wanted to look back at some of Brady’s most memorable moments from a variety of occasions.
What I found in putting this piece together was just how much stuff Brady has done over the years.
This includes a 2012 interview with yours truly that is surreal for me to look back at now.
It appears Arizona and Arizona State could have their futures locked up in the coming days.
The PAC-12 is on the brink of collapse as George Kliavkoff continues to fail to get programs to agree to a new media deal.
The main option on the table is a streaming focused deal with Apple. That’s simply not good enough, and it has led to teams looking for options.
Arizona is a target of the Big 12, Utah and Arizona State could be in the mix and the Big Ten reportedly has started taking a look at adding Oregon and Washington.
To put it as simply as possible, it’s pure chaos out west.

Apologies to those of you outside the New York area for kicking things off with a New York Yankees question, but it had to be done.
As the Women’s World Cup moves to the Round of 16, otherwise known as the knockout stage, with a three-game Saturday slate, there will be no more draws, only winners and losers.
Unlike the Group stage, where teams could play to a draw, the Women’s World Cup now will have overtime, and eventually a shootout in games that remain tied, to decide the winner of the match and who will advance.
Here’s how overtime works in the knockout stage. In the event of a tie after full time, the game will go to 30 minutes of extra time.
Tom Brady turned 46-years-old Thursday. And to celebrate, well, he bought a soccer team.

Forget That Idea Of Brady Playing Again
Brady is adding Birmingham City to a personal portfolio that also includes the Las Vegas Raiders.
The post-retirement business dealings of future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady are continuing after the quarterback announced his purchase of an ownership stake in Birmingham City FC.
Brady announced the move in a video on his social media accounts.
“So here’s the deal. I’m officially coming on board at Birmingham City Football Club,” Brady said in the video. “And maybe you’re asking, ‘What do you know about English football, Tom?’ Well let’s just say I’ve got a lot to learn. But I do know a few things about winning, and I think they might translate pretty well.
Tom Brady wants to be like Ryan Reynolds
Tom Brady is back in football.
Well, soccer, depending on your point of view.
