LeVeon Bell blasts NFL for random drug t

The NFL is about to have a problem with , and it's because Le'Veon Bell has a problem with the . Currently enjoying the first two-game win streak of the Robinson Cano Jersey ' otherwise abysmal 2019 season, the All-Pro running back has found his good mood dragged down by what he feels is ince sant drug testing by the league." I have had five 'random' Human Growth Hormone blood test in 10 weeks, NFL," Bell " Zack Wheeler Jersey I'm not doing another after today. Whatever y'all looking for -- it obviously ain't there. And I'm not about to keep allowing y'all to stick me with those dirty a s needles. Find the players who really do that H.G.H. b.s. and get off me."Needle s to say, if he stands firm on his word this season, there will be repercu sions -- as he well knows.The league mandates each player make themselves immediately available to a random drug screening, and a suspension can be levied upon those who fail to appear and/or cooperate. Bell was suspended four games in 2016 for violating the league's substance abuse policy, but it wasn Edwin Diaz Jersey 't because they could prove he was using a banned substance. It was instead because he mi sed several of the tests, and although it Yoenis Cespedes Jersey was reduced to three games upon appeal, he was still forced to sit for nearly a month. Bell wouldn't be subject to a punishment of 10 games if he's found in violation again, though, thanks to the terms of his succe sful appeal.Mi sing another test or a test yielding a positive result would instead invoke another four-game suspension, but that would put most of the remainder of his inaugural season -- or the beginning of Year 2 -- with Travis D'Arnaud Jersey the Jets in jeopardy, depending on when and if it happens. Time will tell if Bell is willing to risk it to prove a point, but history has shown he's never been shy about standing his ground. Lastly, expect a statement regarding Bell's accusation of "dirty needles," because that's quite an allegation in and of itself.

Who is Ben DiNucci Rookie is thrust into

Who is ? You might be surprised to find out just how much potential he has. This is suddenly a question making the rounds in the fandom of the , in Jose Bautista Jersey the wake of the team losing for the season to a compound fracture and dislocation of the right ankle. and his or early May, but until then, is man the ship for 2020, along with DiNucci and the signing of veteran quarterback heading to North Texas by way of the practice squad to provide depth.With Dalton leaving the Cowboys' Week 7 contest against the Washington Football Team after suffering an illegal blow to the head, DiNucci entered the game and completed the first pa s of his career, but also got sacked to end his first drive. His growing pains will be on center stage if he's required to be the starter going forward, but his talent is something to keep an eye on.While the 29-year-old Gilbert has more experience and is quite familiar to Cowboys scouts from his time spent as a quarterback for both SMU and Texas prior to 2014, it's the 23-year-old rookie seventh-round pick who'll stay in the second chair behind Dalton, sources tell CBS Sports. This is a nod to the belief Mike McCarthy has in the former James Madison University star who made a bigger name for himself following a transfer from Pitt, and who the Cowboys decided against releasing in final roster cutdowns ahead of the regular season.In an exclusive talk with his former JMU compatriot -- who has since been poached from the Cowboys practice squad by the -- Javier Báez Jersey the talented defensive end who saw DiNucci's growth and talent firsthand the last two seasons warns everyone to not sleep on the former AFCA First-Team All-American and CAA Offensive Player of the Year (both in 2019). "Ben is Adrian Gonzalez Jersey a baller," , emphatically. "That's pretty much it. I don't want to speak for him, but I know this kid. I've seen him improve from his junior year to his senior year. I've seen everything about Ben change. He's a different kind of guy." DiNucci is also a former First-Team All-CAA talent who entered Pitt as a USA Today High School All-American in 2014, so it's clear there's no lack of talent in his arm or IQ. A shifty signal caller who can do some damage with his legs as needed, and most certainly with his arm, DiNucci has some baseball in his background -- which of course conjures a smirk thanks to a certain MVP who resides in Kansas City.Is he ? No, because no one is.What he is, however, is a promising rookie talent who isn't afraid to let his abilities in one sport help push his abilities in another. "He makes the craziest throws that I've never seen anybody make," said Carter. "I think him playing baseball helped it. ... Ben is a baller. Film speaks for itself. Ben is a baller."He's a great guy who has a lot of charisma -- a lot of personality. Brandon Nimmo Jersey And I think the City of Dallas is going to love him. He's one hell of a ballplayer."DiNucci left JMU tied for third on the school's all-time completions list (479), fourth all-time in pa sing yards (5,716), and fourth all-time in pa sing touchdowns (45). The Cowboys grabbed him just ahead of the 2021 coming to a conclusion because they loved what they saw and didn't want Tim Tebow Jersey to risk him to undrafted free agency. Like every other rookie in 2020, he's suffered from not having a traditional offseason that would've included rookie minicamp and a preseason, but he's still making progre s -- so much so the Cowboys aren't looking to bring in a veteran to keep him at QB3. That third seat belongs to Gilbert, as DiNucci gets to work taking second-team snaps in the event he's needed this season.

Theres value on this Van Jefferson recei

On Wednesday morning, I , who were reportedly among the finalists for Aaron Judge. I joked that there isn't a free Gerson Bautista Jersey agent the Padres aren't willing to throw $300 million at because it seems like the Padres are in for every big-ticket free agent, whether it makes sense or not.They gave Manny Machado $300 million a few winters ago. They signed Fernando Tatis. Jr to a $340 million contract extension. They traded for Juan Soto, knowing they'll have to pay him well over $300 million, if not $400 million, if they want to keep him when he becomes a free agent. Then they offered at least $300 million to Judge.I have no idea where the money comes from, but it's there, and the Padres spent more of it Thursday when they. Granted, it's not quite $300 million, but Bogaerts is a shortstop, the same position the Padres gave Tatis $340 million to play last year. I'm sure there won't be any problems with this anywhere down the line. Oh, and have you noticed how many 11-year deals we're seeing? Bogaerts got one, as did Trea Turner from the Phillies. Nothing says "it'll be the next guy's problem" more than a general manager agreeing to an 11-year contract Zac Grotz Jersey ....All right, now let's win money gambling to tide us over until the Padres offer us $300 million. Key Trend: Jefferson has seen his snap count increase every week and was on the field for every snap last weekThe Pick: Over 35.5 Receiving Yards (-104) . This is not the most enticing matchup, as the Rams are fully invested in tanking and the Raiders are 5-7. Granted, they're a 5-7 team that's won their last three games, but there isn't a lot here that should get the casual juices flowing. This leads me to advice many fans could stand to hear: you don't have to watch. Seriously, you don't have to... but if you plan to, let's at least bet on it!There isn't much I like about this game, but I see value in Van Jefferson's receiving yards. With and so many other Rams out, Jefferson has taken on a more prominent role. Jefferson didn't make his 2022 debut until Week 9, and in his first game back, he saw five targets and didn't catch a single one. In the last three games, he's seen 15 targets with eight catches for 109 yards, or 36.3 yards per game. That's promising, but more encouraging is how many snaps Jefferson is seeing. In his first three games, Jefferson averaged 22 snaps per game. That has increased to 52.3 snaps per game in the last three, including all 63 offensive snaps last week. He's stepped into the No. 1 role, and with the Rams underdogs tonight, the game script should see them needing to throw the ball a lot more often than last week. SportsLine's Josh Nagel is 7-2 ATS in his last nine plays involving the Robinson Cano Jersey Raiders, and . Latest Odds: Iowa Hawkeyes -3 The Pick: Iowa -4 (-110) --Any time you see a ranked team that's an underdog to an unranked team, take the hint. Remember: the AP Poll -- particularly at the bottom -- is usually a reflection of "who had a good week or a big win the week before" rather than a reflection of who the best teams are.Iowa State is 7-1, its only lo s was to UConn (by 18 points), and it picked up a nice win over St. John's Sunday. Meanwhile, Iowa is 6-2 but hadn't played for six days before the latest poll came out (and hadn't lost to Duke yet), and that game was a win over a mediocre Georgia Tech. But Iowa is a better team than Iowa State. It's also playing this game -- which is a bitter rivalry, by the way Hisashi Iwakuma Jersey -- at home, where it has been much stronger. Both of Iowa's lo ses have come at neutral sites. It has won its first four home games, scoring 95.5 points per game. Granted, the competition has been soft, but the Hawkeyes have long been tough to beat at Carver Hawkeye. As for how Iowa State has performed on the road, well, we don't know. The Cyclones have played two neutral site games (a win over North Carolina and the UConn lo s) but have yet to play a true road game this season. That's another reason I like the Hawkeyes tonight. Latest Odds: Colorado Buffaloes -4 The Pick: Colorado -4 (-110) --I promise I didn't intend to pick two rivalry games from tonight's limited college slate, but it's a nice coincidence. The Buffaloes are off to a slow start, entering at 4-5. That includes two straight lo ses to Arizona State and Washington and a couple of bad lo ses to Grambling State and UMa s in November. However, the Buffs have James Paxton Jersey only played three of their first nine games at home. They won the first two and lost to Arizona State by a point in the third.Colorado State is 6-3 but has played one of the weakest schedules in the country (Colorado has played one of the most difficult). The Rams have shot the lights out to start the season but will face a Colorado defense that's been better than nearly everybody else the Rams have faced. Plus, while Colorado has played only three games at home, this will be Colorado State's second road game. It lost the first to Charleston. Finally, while Colorado State has shot 43.8% from three at home, on the road, and at neutral sites, it's shooting 24.2% from three. That's not insignificant! .

Bo Jackson Tom Brady Troy Aikman lead re

sudden retirement has sent shockwaves acro s the NFL over the past two days. Luck, who is just 29 years old, said his continued battle Andrew Vaughn Jersey with injuries has ultimately led to his decision to hang up his cleats after just seven seasons and 86 regular season games. Luck said his decision to retire is based on how the injuries he has consistently endured over the past four years has taken their toll on him both physically and mentally.Reaction within the with regard to Luck's retirement has been unanimously supportive. Among those who have offered their support of Luck's decision is quarterback , who during his weekly radio spot on WEEI Monday morning."It is his life," Brady said of Luck, who called the decision to retire the toughest decision of his life to this point. "Everyone has the right to choose what they want to do. He had a great career and he was a great player. Everybody wishes they could be healthy all the time. It is a contact sport and he's certainly had his fair share of injuries, so guys retire at different times. Some at the end of the season, and I have seen a lot of guys retire before the season gets going and this is just one of those examples."While Brady represented the current players who are supporting Luck's decision, Troy Aikman, a Hall of Fame quarterback who is currently a play-by-play broadcaster for Fox Sports, responded with similar thoughts after Luck received some criticism for his decision. "What qualifies you to decide how someone should live their life?" in a tweet.Bo Jackson, the only athlete in profe sional sports history to be named an all-star in both football and baseball, backed Aikman while also offering his support for Luck Monday evening. Like Luck, injuries forced Jackson out of football before his 30th birthday."I stand behind and every word he said," via Twitter. "Don't criticize a man until you've worn his cleats. If you've never strapped on the pads you have no busine s commenting on something you know nothing about." Aikman and Jackson not only represent the majority of media members who have publicly supported Luck's decision, they also represent Yoan Moncada Jersey former NFL players who understand the amount of pain -- both physically and mentally -- players go through throughout the course of their careers. While a severe injury ended Jackson's career at age 28, Aikman, the only quarterback to be inducted into the Hall of Fame before his 40th birthday, dealt with a slew of concu sions before calling it a career at the age of 34 following the 2000 season. was among the current NFL players who responded to the news of Luck's retirement over the weekend. Griffin, who Luis Aparicio Jersey has also been through his share of serious injuries throughout his eight-year career, beat out Luck to win the Heisman Trophy in 2011. Griffin appeared to be on the fast track to NFL stardom earlier in his career before injuries forced him into his current role as a backup."We're looked at as super heroes, as not being human beings," Griffin said with regard to some of the backlash Luck has received following his decision to retire. "For him to have that human element and expre s it in his pre s conference after the game ... I thought that was really big." Luck, during his , said that the constant cycle of "injury, pain, recovery, injury" over the past four years ultimately led to his decision to retire. Despite the succe s he enjoyed last season after a shoulder injury wiped out his entire 2017 season (the shoulder injury bothered him throughout the 2016 season), new injuries to his calf and ankle kept Luck on the sideline for the majority of the ' offseason. With another year of uncertainty staring him in the face, Luck decided to honor a promise he made to himself in 2016, when he told himself he Paul Konerko Jersey would never again play a season under that type of pain."I'm in pain; I'm still in pain," Luck said Saturday night, per ESPN's Mike Wells. "It's been four years of this pain, rehab cycle. It's a myriad of i sues -- calf strain, posterior ankle impingement, high ankle sprain. Part of my journey going forward will be figuring out how to feel better.''While Luck looks to find the health in retirement that eluded him during the second half of his NFL career, Brady continues to field questions about how he is able to continue to play at a high level as he enters his 20th NFL season. "I think it's everything," said Brady, who is the only starting quarterback in NFL history to win a in his 40s. "There Harold Baines Jersey 's definitely a physical element. There's definitely an emotional element. I think there is a mental element. Everything in my view really has to come together for you to be the best version of yourself as a player, and it takes a lot of support. It takes a lot of people. You see certainly, you can see me as an individual doing that. I have the support of my teammates, my coaches, my family, my friends, Alex (Guerrero), my training system. All those things really need to come together in order to continue to achieve."It feels great when you have that support because a football season is like a marathon. There's moments where it is very challenging whether it's physically, emotionally, or mentally you need somebody to help you push through the hard parts because it's not all easy. It's a great challenge, but it is very rewarding when you meet the challenge, too."

Boomer Esiason says the Browns would be

If the had only been able to trade for before the season started, then maybe everything would've been different in 2016. Our very own Boomer Esiason says that the quarterback has been so good this year that the Browns would be undefeated if Brady was in Cleveland. That's right, the Browns would be on top of Jim Abbott Jersey the AFC North with home-field advantage in their sights if they had Brady. The topic of Brady in Cleveland came up on a recent edition of Showtime's "Inside the " (Tuesday, 9 p.m. ET/PT). During the show, Esiason, Michael Irvin and were all asked what the Browns' record through 11 games would be this year if Brady was on the team. Marshall said they would be 6-5. Irvin said, "9-2 or 8-3," but even that wasn't as optimistic as Esiason's answer. The 1988 NFL MVP said the Browns would be undefeated. "I don't think he'd put up with what we're watching, and what we're watching Ozzie Guillen Jersey is quarterbacks getting slaughtered," Esiason told host James Brown. "Their quarterbacks don't have the voice or the credibility to hold their coaches accountable." Esiason is right, the quarterbacks in Cleveland are getting slaughtered: Cody Ke seler, and have all mi sed games this year because of injuries. Although Esiason didn't get elaborate on his comments very much during "Inside the NFL," he was able to further explain himself during a recent interview in Boston. "I said the Browns were going to be undefeated," Esaison said. "Now, I said that for a reason, I tried to emphasize what I believe is the greatest quarterback of all-time and how he impacts the entire team, and I can tell you one thing, first Welington Castillo Jersey and foremost, that he's not going to take any crap from the coaching staff." Brady became the winningest quarterback in NFL history on Sunday when he picked up win No. 201 in the Patriots' 26-10 victory over the . Obviously, we're all well aware that Brady is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game, if not the best, so it's pretty easy to imagine that he'd basically be running the offensive show in Cleveland. "Brady Yolmer Sanchez Jersey is one of those guys that when he shows up at the facility on a Tuesday or a Wednesday to get the game plan, he's locked and loaded and he's ready to go," Esiason said. "There's no screwing around. There's no fooling around, and you better be ready to go when you step out on the practice field, so that's why I said what I said about Brady being in Cleveland." Unfortunately for the Browns, they don' Luis Aparicio Jersey t have Brady and now they're 0-12. Even worse, Cleveland is just four games away from pulling off the worst season in NFL history. The Browns went 0-4 in the preseason, which would make their 0-16 arguably more embarra sing than Detroit's in 2008 (The went 4-0 that preseason). Anyway, the good news here is that Browns' fans seem hellbent on celebrating their team's horrible season with a parade on Jan. 7. It probably won't be as exciting as the Cavaliers' parade, but hey, it's still a parade. Plans for Cleveland Browns 'perfect season' parade move forward fox8news (@fox8news)

Super Wild-Card Weekend kicks off on Saturday, and closing the first night of 2020 playoff action is a battle between maybe the two most overlooked teams in the NFC field. The enter the postseason with four straight wins, including two consecutive 40-point performances, and boast arguably the greatest quarterback of all time in ; yet have widely been undersold as a title contender since a mid-season slide. , meanwhile, backed into a division title at 7-9, punching their ticket to the playoffs thanks in part to their rival making a controversial Week 17 QB switch.Does that mean Saturday's showdown is devoid of drama? Absolutely not. Some of Brady's most shocking postseason defeats, you may recall, have come against none other than NFC East teams. And Washington, by virtue of "winning" the NFC East, still gets the benefit of home-field advantage in this one, hoping its Ron Rivera-led defense will be able to serve Jacoby Ellsbury Jersey as the spoiler of the opening round.Wondering how to tune in? Or whether the Buccaneers actually deserve to be more than touchdown favorites? Find everything you need to know below, including broadcast info, key matchups and a game Alex Rodriguez Jersey -day prediction:Date:Saturday, Jan. 9 |Time:8:15 p.m. ETLocation:FedExField (Landover, Maryland)TV: NBC|Stream: (Try for free)Follow: Tampa Bay can't be afraid to run the ball, because the last thing they should be doing is letting Tom Brady sit back in empty pockets to throw, especially late in the game. That's where guys like can legitimately wreck your whole night. But that doesn't mean the Bucs shouldn't air it out. In fact, if one thing tops the priority list Saturday, it should be a saulting Washington through the air. It's just a matter of not completely abandoning the ground game and handling the aerial attack smartly.By smartly, we mostly mean a willingne s to take the short stuff -- an ability to accept what Washington is giving you and let the play-makers do their jobs. Brady tends to like this kind of game plan anyway, making quick, sometimes predetermined decisions that allow the offense to look robotic rather than reactionary. But against Rivera's feisty front, that strategy could prove especially important. Whether it's or or , these guys should get the ball quickly. Because you can definitely beat Washington by taking those six- and seven-yard bites every drive.By staying disciplined and efficient, the Bucs will naturally open up at least a few opportunities for downfield shots, too. So long as Washington has to ensure it's on top of those AB screens or the occasional bulldozing, Brady will get his chances to send one deep and really put Washington away. Honestly, no matter how Washington plays this, it's going to be a tough night, at least on offense. Rivera's defense may very well make this closer than Gio Gonzalez Jersey some expect, but there's no getting around the fact that and Co. have been consistently uninspiring. Smith deserves all the credit in the world for his comeback, but the numbers don't lie: He's been a bad QB. Safer than Dwayne Haskins? No doubt. But try asking him to throw a pa s that isn't horizontal or within 15 yards for consecutive drives, and there's a decent chance you're going to run into trouble.Luckily for Washington, the Bucs are more vulnerable through the air than against the run, where they've surrendered the fewest ground yardage of any team in the . So, if ever Smith were going to break out as a rather than a of the football, this would be the time to do it. Guys like and help make that po sible. But Scott Turner Tyler Austin Jersey probably needs to get pretty creative to maximize the team's impact throughout the night, regardle s of whether Washington intends to play spoiler in a low-scoring game or somehow believes it can go toe to toe in a shootout.This isn't meant to disparage Washington. Anything can happen in the playoffs. But the reality is, they are no match for Tampa Bay on paper. Their offense's chief responsibility on Saturday, quite frankly, is to hold the ball as long as po sible and hope for a break or two. If they can do that, and their defense shows up as it often has, they just might be able to pull off a stunner. Latest Odds: Tampa Bay Buccaneers -10 The Bucs have mostly beaten up on bad teams this year and fumbled their chance at true stardom against the best of the best. Washington also has exactly the kind of pa s rush that could disrupt Brady early and often. But as much as a tight game is in play, it'd be irresponsible to forecast Alex Smith and WFT's weapons topping Bruce Arians' squad here. Even on an off night Dellin Betances Jersey , this Bucs offense has enough firepower to get the job done. Washington, remember, struggled mightily to beat the Eagles' backups with a division title on the line. It's going to take a near-perfect performance for them to shut down Tampa.Pick: Buccaneers 28, Washington 16

Mean Joe Greene thinks showboating cause

The franchise has an Anthony Rizzo Jersey identity as a tough, blue-collar team. Hand in the dirt, working man, just throw the fries on the sandwich, etc. That stems from teams that played in a different generation, and some of the guys who played then arent all that impre sed with the current iteration.One guy specifically -- Hall of Famer Mean Joe Greene -- actually thinks that the Steelers are so full of preeners that they couldnt win as much in 2016 as they should have.Greene, , called 2016 a year lost because of some weapons they lost as well as guys who like to showboat.We got guys who Gio Gonzalez Jersey like to showboat. Its definitely the one Brown , but its more than one. And they owe themselves better than that, Greene said. You only have so long to play this game, its not always going to be there, you know. You have to max out. This year was a year lost. I can only imagine what would have happened to this team had our receiver who was suspended for a year been playing on the field. I can only imagine what would have happened had all of our weapons been there.Its easy to remember 2016 as a year that potentially distracted his team. But that sort of ignores the fact that the Steelers did make the AFC Championship Game. They were manhandled by the in New England, but they were still one win away from making the .If thats a lost year, well, the standard is pretty freaking high. Expectations Clint Frazier Jersey for these Steelers are probably always to win the Super Bowl; but certainly no one was embarra sed by what the Steelers did in 2016 even if the team fell short. On the other hand, maybe Greene is onto something here. There is a sense that quarterback , , perhaps was also on the team. His entire retirement discu sion .There were certainly some ...This is also not the first time Greene has come out against Brown and the current Steelers. He after the wide receivers locker room Facebook situation. And the Hall of Famer believes that Roethlisbergers response had to be something with his disappointment with those activities according to Greene, who added that t hose actions were not conducive to the winning framework, the winning attitude.To Greene, the guys on the field did not nece sarily live up to the Steelers brand.Im saying right now we need someone in there who epitomizes what the Steelers are about C.C. Sabathia Jersey and doesnt mind picking up that gauntlet to be a Steeler and not to be out there creating -- what do they call it? -- their brand, Greene said. You have to be a Pittsburgh Steeler first. You cant create Mariano Rivera Jersey that act. So its pretty clear where everyone in and around Pittsburgh stands on this: the Steelers have a core group of talented players. Roethlisberger, Brown and LeVeon Bell give the Steelers a window to win a championship.They just need to get down to the busine s of football and take things a little more seriously. Greenes approach is old school, but it might also accurately reflect the way some of the modern players feel, too.
