After weeks of social media outbursts and tirades aimed at Bethune-Cookman and, oddly enough, Shannon Sharpe, Ed Reed appears to walk some of it back in his latest appearance.
Speaking to the 33rd Team, Reed seemed to somewhat apologize for his several viral video reactions over the past three weeks as it pertains to his fallout with Bethune-Cookman.
“A lot has transpired for me as an analyst, for me as a coach,” Reed says in an Instagram clip. “I talk to my youngsters about making decisions and being smart about what they put on social network.

With the news that Tom Brady was calling it quits a year to the day after he called it quits, for the first time in several years, the National Football League has a new oldest player.
The 45-year-old Brady had a pretty substantial lead on the next oldest guy in the NFL, who now slides into the position as the NFL’s oldest player.
He is — drum roll, please — Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Jason Peters at 41 years, 10 days old as of Feb. 1!
Peters spent the bulk of his career in Philadelphia after getting started in Buffalo.

The seven-time Super Bowl–winning quarterback tried to tell us and show us that the rules that applied to the rest of us never applied to him.
It’s weird what sticks with you. For me, it was a television segment during the summer of 2008. I’d just moved back to Massachusetts from Texas, and on the screen behind me was a picture of Tom Brady at the end of Super Bowl XLII, with a tagline that played off the title of a Buster Olney book on the Yankees reading, “The Last Night of the Patriot Dynasty?”
Brady was turning 31.

He reportedly spoke with several medical professionals about returning to football.
Tua Tagovailoa has cleared the concussion protocol, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. This was his second stint in the protocol this season and this time around he met with several medical professionals and they are confident that he will be 100% when it comes time to return to football. 
Tagovailoa’s latest head injury came on Christmas Day against the Packers.

It’s almost infuriating how good Mookie Betts is at sports.
The Dodgers outfielder is almost assuredly on his way to a Hall of Fame baseball career.
Betts had another MVP caliber season in 2022, racking up 6.6 WAR, according to Fangraphs, adding 35 home runs in a down year for offense.
He won the 2018 MVP Award with the Red Sox. He’s a two-time World Series champion. His baseball instincts are among the best in the game, and he plays elite defense.
But baseball might not even be Betts’ best sport.

The Spanish giants were set on bringing in the 21-year-old Mexican international for around $4 million before complications arose.
A move to La Liga giant Barcelona is currently up in the air for LA Galaxy right back Julián Araujo.
According to MLS insider Tom Bogert, paperwork for the move was filed less than a minute after Tuesday’s winter transfer deadline, and now the sides are waiting for some clarity on the potential move. 
Barcelona was reportedly set to pay more than $4 million as it tries to shore up the future of its right back position.

There’s reportedly ‘uncertainty’ around a Thursday game as well.
It seems that the winter weather that threatened NFL games at the tail-end of the season has now extended over into the NBA. 
Wizards–Pistons has been postponed because a Dallas ice storm has left Detroit unable to fly home and host the Wednesday game. The Mavericks beat the Pistons 111–105 on Monday. A rescheduled date for the Wizards-Pistons game is unknown and “will be announced at a later time,” per the league.

They seem to be sick of people talking about it already.
By now, you’ve probably heard that Super Bowl LVII will be the first Super Bowl to ever feature two brothers facing off against each other as players in the Big Game. The storyline is a great one that most of the NFL world has gladly embraced—except for the actual siblings themselves. 
Eagles center Jason Kelce and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce are not a fan of the “Kelce Bowl” storyline. Travis started out by saying “. . .
