— NFL Combine starts Thursday; NFL Draft is April 23-25, in Pittsburgh.
Quarterback prospects don’t always throw at the Combine, I don’t get that. What could it hurt? Some guys just throw at the “pro days” at their college, throwing to their college teammates, but teams have to have a pretty good idea by now of who a player is.
NFL Network will be busy the rest of the week; lot of 40-yard dashes.
— Detroit Lions are going to play a game in Munich, Germany this fall; NFL leaks these games out every so often. Amon-Ra St. Brown is the Lions’ star WR; his mother is from Germany, so he is fired up about this game.
— Gunner Rivers, son of future Hall of Fame QB Philip Rivers, is going to follow in his father’s footsteps and go to college at NC State in the fall of 2027. These days, Philip Rivers coaches his son’s high school team in Alabama. Gunner is the team’s quarterback.
— UFL, the spring football league, starts its games in about a month; they’re being used to test some new rules experiments. This year, here are some of their new rules:
a) Field goals of 60+ yards will be worth 4 points
b) You only need one foot inbounds for a completed pass; this would be a big change.
c) You can’t punt if you have the ball in the other team’s territory, except in the last 2:00 of each half.
— World Baseball Classic starts next week, at various places around the world; 4am games from Asia could be interesting. Mets have 17 players representing different countries.
— So far in spring training, when you look at the ABS pitch-challenge system, it seems to favor the pitchers. More catchers’ challenges have been won than hitters’ challenges.
— Pirates 16, Red Sox 7- SS Konnor Griffin, the #1 prospect in baseball, homered twice for the Pirates, drove in four runs. Griffin hasn’t played in AAA yet; no word on where he’ll start the season.

Quote of the Day
“There’s going to be two, two-and-a-half weeks to pick guys’ brains. Talking to them is great but seeing how they operate is another thing. So, aside from winning a gold medal, it would be a pretty good reward for doing that.”
Paul Skenes, talking about pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic

— Jacksonville Jaguars are going to play two “home” games in England this fall, with the games on consecutive Sundays. Washington Commanders will also host a game in England; NFL will play nine games in seven different countries in 2026.
— Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton isn’t going to call plays this coming season; assistant coach Davis Webb will call plays for the first time.
Denver fired their offensive coordinator after a 10-7 home loss to New England in the AFC title game, when the Broncos had only one first down after halftime and didn’t have a possession in the third or fourth quarter longer than 17 yards.
— NFL’s highest-paid kicker last year was the Chiefs’ Harrison Butker, who made $6.4M; Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey wants to become the NFL’s highest paid kicker and he wants $10M a year, 56% higher than Butker’s contract.
Aubrey is a restricted free agent right now, the Cowboys will have to place a tender on him if a long-term deal doesn’t get done by the start of free agency on March 11. If the Cowboys place a 2nd-round tender on him, that means that other teams will be able to make him an offer, and if he leaves, his new team will have to send a 2nd-round pick to Dallas.
— Atlanta Braves P Chris Sale signed a one-year contract extension worth $27M; Sale turns 37 at the end of March; he was 7-5, 2.58 in 20 starts for Atlanta last year. In his 15-year career, he is 145-88, 3.01 in 312 starts.
— St Louis Cardinals are re-building; they were 78-84 last year, missing the playoffs for the third year in a row. Cardinals haven’t had two years in a row under .500 since 1994-95, and 1994 was a strike-shortened season.
Last time the Cardinals has consecutive losing years in full seasons, was 1958-59.
— Several fantasy baseball analysts have convinced themselves that Alex Bregman’s numbers are going to suffer with Bregman now playing for the Cubs.
Bregman played nine years in Houston, played for the Red Sox last year, two home ballparks that are friendly for righty hitters who like to pull the ball. Bregman has 209 career home runs, 293 doubles; his career OPS is 846.
Bregman figures to bat 2nd in the Cubs’ lineup this year, ahead of Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki. Will be interesting to see how he fares with his new team.
— Atlanta Braves announced this week that BravesVision is their local TV home, beginning with this season. Braves chose to control the BravesVision plan instead of having the telecasts produced by Major League Baseball. MLB will produce broadcasts for 14 teams this season.
