Quote of the Day
“I own the fact that I lost my locker room. And this is Coach Locks, the locker room king, telling you this landscape, I had to choose between paying young players who were coming in or reward the older players that have been through the fire, three bowl wins, and I tried to do both with limited resources. And that’s what you get: a locker room with the haves and have-nots.”

Thursday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but……..​

— Green Bay Packers are a publicly-owned team, so they divulge their earnings every year; this past year, the Packers and their 539,529 stockholders (lot of stockholders) banked a check from the NFL worth $432.6M, which means since every team got one of those, the league’s total revenue was roughly $13B, that’s BILLION, with a B.
Which is how they can afford to pay Roger Goodell $30 or $40M a year; he is the captain that keeps the golden yacht afloat.

— Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis is going to have season-ending shoulder surgery; he hopes to be ready for the 2026 season. Levis was 5-16 as a starter for Tennessee his first two years in the NFL, but the Titans drafted Cam Ward in this April’s draft.
