quarterback and his wife Markus Howard Jersey , Kelly, put together a Christmas surprise that two kids are never going to forget. The Staffords showed up at the doorstep of two kids who recently lost their father with Christmas presents and so much more. Their reaction was one of a kind.It was all caught on video, and it's evident that the kids were caught completely off-guard as they screamed in excitement. Deana Harb, the cousin of the boys' father, posted the footage of the surprise Keita Bates-Diop Jersey visit to Facebook."If you ever, for a second, worry about 'goodne s' in the world, If you ever think profe sional athletes don't connect with people. Isaiah Hartenstein Jersey ..Watch this," she wrote on the post. "... People are so, so, good. And I know my cousin is beaming from Heaven."The Staffords not only bought Christmas gifts for the two kids but even stuck around to play some Madden with them. The couple experienced their fair share of hardships over the last year. Kelly had surgery to remove a brain tumor last April. In addition, the Lions quarterback suffered fractures in his back Facundo Campazzo Jersey in November and the injury ended his streak of 136 consecutive played.Stafford was in the midst of putting together a tremendous season as he was completing 64.3 percent of his pa ses and to sed 19 touchdowns to just five interceptions. The former top pick also played on Nov. 3 when the Will Barton Jersey Lions fell 31-24 at the hands of the . Despite a premature end to his season, Stafford and his wife were able to make this Christmas one that these two kids will never forget.

Rob Gronkowski takes a swipe at Patriots

Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!As someone who writes a newsletter for CBS Sports, I am contractually obligated to tell you that I will be spending my entire weekend watching CBS. Although that's what I do every weekend -- because I love CBS -- there's some added excitement this . If you want to follow our ongoing Masters coverage this weekend, .Of course, this isn't a a golf newsletter, it's an newsletter, so let's get to the NFL stuff. In the biggest news over the past 24 hours, the Brian Flores lawsuit took another turn when two more minority coaches made the decision to join Flores in the suit. We'll be taking a look at all the new details from the lawsuit, plus we'll be taking a look at some of the best draft picks of all time.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to do is . Alright, let's get to the rundown. 1. Today's show: NFL Draft needs for teams in the AFC South and NFC SouthThe will be kicking off in le s than three weeks, which means you're going to be hearing a lot from our draft analysts from now until the start of the draft on April 28. Two of those draft analysts -- Josh Edwards and Chris Trapa so -- joined Will Brinson for Friday's episode of the Pick Six Podcast and Dennis Schroder Jersey the three of them spent nearly an hour talking about draft needs for each team in the AFC and NFC South. One of those teams in the NFC South that the three guys talked about are the , who are one of the more intriguing teams in the draft. According to Trapa so, the Bucs' two biggest needs are up front."Offensive and defensive lines," Trapa so said when talking about Tampa Bay's biggest needs. "Even after trading for I still think they need to fill this need on the offensive line. ... They lost their guards with retiring and signing with the , so if Zion Johnson is there, I think that would be a home run."It's not a given that the Boston College offensive lineman will fall all the way down to the 27th spot in the draft, but it's certainly po sible. It's also po sible that the Buccaneers could trade up if he falls into a spot not too far from 27. In 2020, the Buccaneers had the 14th overall pick and they were eyeing . After the offensive tackle slid down the draft board to the 13th spot, the Buccaneers made a trade to move up one spot so they could grab him. If the Buccaneers decide to pick someone on the defensive side of the ball in the first round, Trapa so mentioned Gail Goodrich Jersey defensive tackles Devonte Wyatt (Georgia) and Matthew Butler (Tenne see) as po sible options.If you want to hear the draft needs for the other three teams in the NFC South along with the four teams in the AFC South, you'll have to listen to today's show, which . You . 2. Two more coaches join the Brian Flores lawsuitIt's been just over two months since Brian Flores over alleged racial discrimination in the league's hiring practices. Although Flores was the only minority head coach involved in the suit when it was initially filed, two : Steve Wilks and Ray Horton. The amended lawsuit also now names the , and as teams that are now being sued. When Flores originally filed the lawsuit on Feb. 1, the NFL, along with the , and were the entities being sued.Here's the latest on the lawsuit:Why Wilks put his name on the lawsuit. Wilks was fired after just one season with the Cardinals and he feels the firing was unjustified. In the lawsuit, Wilks in the 2018 NFL Draft so the Cardinals could select , but general manager Steve Keim shot that down. Arizona ended up sticking in the 10th spot and selecting . Not only did Wilks get stuck with Rosen, but Keim over a DUI arrest, so Wilks had Kyle Kuzma Jersey to run the team without a general manager. Basically, Keim got a DUI and made a horrible pick, but was able to keep his job in a year where the Cardinals ended up firing Wilks.Why Horton put his name on the lawsuit. The longtime defensive coach, who has never held a head-coaching job, believes he was part of a sham interview proce s with the Titans in 2016. The Titans ended up hiring Mike Mularkey after interviewing multiple people for the job, including Horton and Teryl Austin.Titans and NFL could get burned by one big piece of evidence. Horton's part of the lawsuit includes information from Mularkey, who eventually got the Titans job in 2016. In 2020, Mularkey said that he felt guilty about the way he got the job. "I allowed myself at one point when I was in Tenne see to get caught up in something I regret it and I still regret it," Mularkey said two years ago, . "But the ownership there, Amy Adams Strunk and her family, came in and told me I was going be the head coach in 2016 before they went through the Rooney Rule. And so, I sat there knowing I was the head coach Rajon Rondo Jersey in '16 as they went through this fake hiring proce s." The Titans that their hiring proce s was a sham, but when the guy who got hired thinks it was, that seems like a problem.Texans now named in lawsuit.Flores is now also suing the Texans. He believes the only reason they pa sed him over for their coaching job this year is due to the fact that he had just filed a lawsuit against the NFL. Flores was believed to be a finalist for the Texans' coaching job before the team shocked everyone by going with Lovie Smith, who had not previously been mentioned as a coaching candidate for the team.The additions of Horton and Wilks to the original lawsuit could definitely put the NFL in some hot water going forward. 3. takes a shot at the , thinks that could play five more yearsWith Rob Gronkowski mulling over NFL retirement right now, I can tell you that one thing he definitely hasn't retired from is doing interviews. Gronk joined "Jimmy Kimmel Elgin Baylor Jersey Live" this week and he had some very interesting things to day. Here are a few interesting nuggets from the interview:Gronk takes shot at Patriots. Kimmel and Gronk were talking about the fact that the tight end stayed on the field longer than he probably should have during a blowout 41-17 win over the in Week 18. Gronk wanted to keep playing so he could reach two contract incentives worth a total of $1 million, which he did end up hitting. Kimmel then asked Gronk if it was normal for a player to be able to stay in so they could hit their bonus. "Yes, I've seen it before actually. Not with the Patriots, though. I mean, they'll probably pull you before you hit that bonus there." Gronk then nervously laughed and followed up his comment by saying, "I shouldn't have said that." Basically, if you're near a contract bonus at the end of the season and you play for the Patriots, don't expect them to let you get it.Gronk thought Brady was going to take a year off. One other subject Kimmel touched on with Gronk was Brady's decision to come out of retirement. "I was not surprised at all," Gronkowski said of Brady's decision to

Cam Newtons surprising Patriots deal led

The oddsmakers in Las Vegas definitely took notice this week when the . The bookies and that's because they had to change nearly every set of odds relating to the Patriots and Newton.From MVP odds to odds to conference title odds to divisional odds to the over/under, Newton's decision to head to New England had a dramatic impact in Vegas, according to our friends at William Hill Sports Book.First, let's start with the 2020 MVP odds. Before Sunday Myles Powell Jersey , Newton's MVP odds were sitting at 100-to-1. To put that in perspective, those are the same odds that , and have to win the award. Getting Newton at the same odds as Lock or Jones seems like a steal, and one lucky bettor actually put some money down over the weekend at those odds. According to William Hill, a gambler in Nevada placed a $500 bet on Newton to win MVP, which means he'll take home tidy $50,000 profit NBA New York Knicks Jeresy if the 2015 MVP can win the award again.After signing with the Patriots, Newton's MVP odds skyrocketed all the way to 40-to-1, tying him with and as the players with the 16th best odds. From a percentage standpoint, Newton's chances more than doubled. Before the signing, he had a 1% chance of winning MVP. Now that he's with the Patriots, those odds have jumped up to 2.4%. The Immanuel Quickley Jersey player with the best MVP odds right now is , who's listed at 9-to-2 (18.2% chance to win).As for Super Bowl odds, it's not often that a team sees a huge jump in June, but that's exactly what happened for the Patriots. Before adding Newton, the Patriots had , which was tied with the , , and . With Newton on the roster, the Patriots Super Bowl odds jumped to 18-to-1, which is tied with the Obi Toppin Jersey , and , three teams that all made the playoffs last year. In the AFC, the Patriots odds improved from 10-to-1 to 8-to-1 to win the conference.One thing that didn't change very much was New England's odds of winning the division. Despite the addition of Newton, the Bills are still viewed as the favorites in Vegas at +125 (Bet $100 to win $125). As for the Patriots, their odds did slightly improve, going from +150 to +140.On the over/under end, it's going to be slightly more difficult to make money on that bet. Although the Patriots number stayed the same at nine, you won't make as much money if you make an over bet and win. Before adding Newton, betting the over was +130, but now it's -140. Under the old odds, a $100 bet would have won you $130, but now, a $100 bet will only pay out $71.43 in profit. Newton also had a New York Knicks Jeresy dramatic effect on the odds for comeback player of the year, and .

Rob Gronkowski still in concussion proto

Don't expect to see at the 's opening festivities Monday night. According to Network's Ian Rapoport, Gronkowski is still working his way Bobby Portis Jersey through the concu sion protocol and is not expected to participate in the Opening Night (aka media New York Knicks T-Shirts day) festivities on Monday evening. At this point, TE Rob Gronkowski is not expected to participate in Super Bowl Opening Night, Im told. Hes still in the concu sion protocol. That could change if doctors clear him. Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) Gronkowski suffered a concu sion when he was hit helmet-to-helmet by safety Myles Powell Jersey during last week's AFC title game. Gronkowski returned to practice on a limited basis last week but the felt as though Alec Burks Jersey he in the Super Bowl if it was played on Sunday, Jan. 28. He has the rest of this week to get cleared by an independent neurologist, which would allow him to play against the on Sunday. Unle s and until he's cleared, we'll just have to wait for the notoriously stingy-with-information Kenny Wooten Jersey Patriots to give us information about Gronkowski's status.

Steelers player calls out Cam Newton for

After watching take dozens of hits week after week, offensive lineman doesn't have much empathy for , who used his postgame pre s conference Sunday to expre s his dismay with the way his games are being officiated. After Carolina's 30-20 win over the , Newton said that he due to all the hits he's taking, and the fact that opposing players aren't being penalized for them. "It's not fun. It's really taking the fun out of the game for me," Newton said. "Honestly, it really is. At times, I don't even Reggie Perry Jersey feel safe. Enough is enough. I plan on talking to commi sioner Goodell about this. It's not fun. And I don't know what I have to do." Gilbert said Newton should be more like Roethlisberger, and not complain. "Ben gets hit more than anybody in the league and he never complains. C'mon man. This Jamal Crawford Jersey is the game of football," Gilbert said, . Gilbert's advice to Newton: If you don't want to get hit, then don't play football. "If you're out there and you're scared to take a shot, then don't be out there, especially if you're a running quarterback," Gilbert said. " Defenses are going to take shots at you. Just the way, his style of playing football, how he celebrates, I gue s he gives the guys a chip, like James Harden Jersey let's go hit the reigning MVP." The Steelers offensive lineman also added that defensive players seem to be out to get Newton because of the way he sometimes celebrates after a big play. "When he's running over people, he's going to stand right up and he's going to celebrate," Gilbert said. "This is the game of football. I'm sure there are cornerbacks or linebackers, whoever he's running over, the safeties, they aren't complaining about getting run over or getting crowned, facemask to facemask with the quarterback from a guy his size. Of course, guys are going to take shots. ... I don't think anybody is trying to purposefully hurt him, but Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Jersey you're going to get those extra hits, especially against such a great player." If Newton wants to get hit le s, then Gilbert says he should go talk to the ' coaching staff. "If you don't like it, then tell the coach or the coordinator to change the whole game plan," Gilbert said. "Try to do something to protect you, because back a couple of years ago when Ben was getting hit a lot, we had to change Chris Chiozza Jersey our offense a little bit, put in a little extra protection to help him stay upright because he is the franchise player." If Newton does takes his complaints to Goodell, there's a chance they won't go anywhere. Pro Football Talk that the NFL calls since 2013, and Newton's not even in the top-10 for mi sed calls.

Antonio Brown goes public with his desir

would like to see the Antonio Brown era in Pittsburgh come to an Jordan Bowden Jersey end. The ' mercurial (and elite) wide receiver went public with his desire to play elsewhere on Tuesday, sending out a tweet that stated it is "time to move on and forward" while thanking Steelers fans for their nine years of support. Thank you SteelerNation for a big 9 years...time to move on and forward.......... Antonio Brown (@AB84) If you play the video on that tweet you'll notice that it's a series of Brown's highlights scored to Lil Uzi Vert's "Now I Do What I Joe Harris Jersey Want," which was previously the soundtrack of a Ru sell Westbrook commercial that came out after the Oklahoma City Thunder star's former teammate Kevin Durant left for the Golden State Warriors amid rumors that he no longer wanted to play alongside Westbrook. (Draw whatever parallels you'd like in this situation.) CBS Sports Insider Jason La Canfora has been reporting for weeks that , and Brown has not exactly been putting much effort into hiding that Brooklyn Nets Hats desire. Brown has three years left on the four-year, $68 million contract extension he signed with Pittsburgh, and the Steelers would see very little cap savings (around Keven Durant Jersey $1 million) if they trade him prior to June 1. If they do so after June 1 they would cut his 2019 cap bit e sentially in half (from $22 million to $12 million) but would also carry around $10 million in dead money for 2020. The team is reportedly seeking a first-round pick and then some in exchange for his services, and considering he is still one of the small handful of best wide receivers in football, he should have plenty of suitors. If he leaves Pittsburgh, this could be an offseason of ma sive change for the Steelers, as it is widely Wilson Chandler Jersey expected that will be playing elsewhere next season as well.

Broncos Vic Fangio coveted by several to

While Vic Fangio's future in Denver remains the subject of considerable conversation around the NFL, if the were to move on from their head coach, he would have no shortage of options continuing Rajon Rondo Jersey his career as a defensive coordinator.Fangio is high atop the wish list of several of the top head coaching candidates who are about to start making the rounds for interviews, league sources said, and is also coveted by several teams who do not anticipate making a head coaching change but would like to upgrade at their defensive coordinator spot if po sible. If several top defensive coordinators like Todd Bowles ( ) or Dan Quinn Solomon Hill Jersey ( ) end up getting head coaching jobs, that alone creates demand for coordinators, and Fangio's reputation as a master tactician on that side of the ball would lead to competition for his services.The Broncos have struggled to get back above .500 under Fangio, and there have been several bumps in the road as he transitioned to his first head coaching Kris Dunn Jersey opportunity late in his career. His gruff demeanor and old-school sensibilities have not always been a great fit. Still, his former underlings continue to get opportunities as coordinators and head coaches, the Broncos defense showed well for the most part despite some adversity, and his acumen coaching that side of the ball earns accolades.First-time head coaches who come from an offensive background are particularly drawn to Fangio because he can e sentially run half of the team for them and allow them to focus on cultivating relationships throughout the team and developing the quarterback position. Fangio having head coaching experience in the -- and being able to relate to much of what a Danilo Gallinari Jersey first-time head coach will be going through -- further adds to his resume, with some anticipating he will immediately become among the highest-paid coordinators in the NFL if his tenure in Denver is up. The Broncos hired first-time general manager George Paton out of the organization a year ago, and Nathan Knight Jersey he will be a se sing the entire organization at the end of the season and conferring with upper management about recommendations for the staff. While it has become increasingly likely that the Broncos are sold -- perhaps as early as March -- Paton and Broncos bra s will be making any decisions about hiring immediately after the season, according to sources.

Top 10 Cowboys-Eagles moments of all-tim

Some rivalries take a while to get going, while others start fast before fading into the past. Few rivalries start strong and never cease to lose that intensity and pa sion, but this is the space where the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry lies, as it has been a good one since its first matchup over 60 years ago. The spirit of the rivalry has lived on ahead of this Sunday night, when the Kris Dunn Jersey two bitter NFC East division rivals will square off in a game to decide first place in the NFC East.Both teams are off to surprising starts. The Eagles, led by the play of and the 's seventh-ranked scoring defense, are the NFL's last undefeated team. The Cowboys are just one game behind the Eagles in the standings despite being without for the past four games. Like the Eagles, the Cowboys boast one of the NFL's best defenses, led by linebacker and cornerback .Before Sunday's game, here's a look at the 10 most memorable moments in the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry.The Eagles' existence began in 1933, the same year as the Pittsburgh Pirates (later renamed ) and now-defunct Cincinnati Reds (which became the St. Louis Gunners before ceasing operations after the 1934 season). The franchise blo somed into the NFL's best team following World War II, as the Eagles, led by Hall of Fame running back Steve Van Buren and Hall of Fame defensive end Pete Pihos, lost the 1947 NFL Championship Game before capturing consecutive league titles the Cam Reddish Jersey following two seasons. After a promising 1959 season, Philadelphia was gearing up for another championship run in 1960. The Eagles' roster was flooded with talent that included Hall of Famers in quarterback Norm Van Brocklin, receiver Tommy McDonald and center/linebacker Chuck Bednarik. Philadelphia's roster that season also included Pro Bowlers in end Pete Retzlaff, kicker/tight end Bobby Watson, linebacker Maxie Baughan, and cornerback Tom Brookshier,The Cowboys, an expansion team, were led by Tom Landry, a former Pro Bowl cornerback for the who then served as the team's defensive coordinator from 1954-59. Landry accepted the Cowboys' head coaching position after falling to Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore in consecutive NFL Championship Games that included the epic '58 title game, the first game in NFL history that was decided in overtime.After falling to the Steelers in a hard-fought game in Week 1, the Cowboys weren't expected to give the Eagles much of a fight in Week 2. But despite being heavily out-matched, Dallas, which trailed 13-6 at intermi sion, made it a one-point game in the third quarter on a 75-yard touchdown pa s from Eddie LeBaron to . Clark's touchdown set the stage for a prolific fourth quarter, as each team scored two touchdowns that included Gene Babb's 27-yard pa s from LeBaron that cut the Cowboys' deficit to two points. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, that would stand as the game's final score, as the Eagles held on for a 27-25 victory. After forcing the Eagles to settle for field goals twice in the first half, the Cowboys' defense was unable to mimic that succe s in the second half, with Eagles halfback Billy Ray Barnes scoring both of Philadelphia's fourth quarter touchdowns. Fellow halfback Clarence Peaks led both teams with 68 rushing yards, while McDonald's 16-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter would be his only catch of the game.While the Cowboys would not win a Steve Smith Jersey game that season (finishing 0-11-1 in Landry's first season on the sideline), the Eagles would win their third NFL title after defeating Vince Lombardi and the defending champion in the league championship game. No. 52: 1960 : Greatest Teams on NFL (@NFL) It would be the Eagle's final championship of the 20th century, while Landry's Cowboys eventually blo somed into one of pro football's dominant teams. Landry's Cowboys would go onto lose their first three games against the Eagles, including both of their games against Philadelphia in 1961 by a combined score of 78-20. The Cowboys weren't having much succe s against the rest of the NFL, either, winning just four games during the '61 season after not winning a single game during the franchise's inaugural season.The Cowboys' fortunes started to turn in 1962. After tying the in Week, 1 Dallas lost another hard-fought game to the Steelers before defeating the in Week 3. After losing a competitive game in Cleveland to the mighty , Dallas was feeling good about its prospects of finally beating the Eagles heading into their Week 4 matchup. The Eagles, conversely, were not Skylar Mays Jersey feeling as good after starting the season with three lo ses after failing to succe sfully defend their league title the previous year.Similar to their first matchup, the Cowboys' defense held the Eagles to field goals on their initial scoring drives. Dallas also received another stellar outing from Frank Clarke, who gave the Cowboys a 17-6 lead on an eight-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Before the Eagles could catch their breath, Clarke found the end zone again, catching a 57-yard touchdown pa s from quarterback Don Meredith that gave the Cowboys an insurmountable 24-6 lead in the third quarter. After an Eagles' touchdown made it a 15-point game at the start of the fourth quarter, the Cowboys extinguished any hopes of a Philadelphia comeback when Amos Marsh ran the ensuing kickoff back 101 yards to put the Cowboys ahead 34-12. The Eagles' scored again before Mike Gaechter's 100-yard interception return put the Cowboys' first-ever victory over Philadelphia on ice.Philadelphia never recovered from their slow start, as they finished the '62 season with just three wins in what would be the first of four consecutive losing seasons. And while the Cowboys would finish one just game ahead of the Eagles in the standings that season, the seeds of their future championship succe s were just beginning to grow, led by "Mr. Cowboys": defensive tackle Bob Jaylen Adams Jersey Lilly and Meredith, the Cowboys' first superstar quarterback. No. 17: QB Don Meredith: The original Dallas Cowboy: Greatest Characters on NFL (@NFL) While the Eagles posted just one winning season from 1962-1977, the Cowboys had become a juggernaut, winning nine division titles, four NFC championships and two titles during that same span. Dallas had also dominated its matchups with Philadelphia. The Cowboys won 11 straight games over the Eagles from 1967-72 before winning eight straight games in the rivalry from 1974-78. The Cowboys of that era were loaded with talent that included Hall of Famers in quarterback Roger Staubach, receivers Lance Allworth and Bob Hayes, tight end Mike Ditka, running back Tony Dorsett, cornerbacks Herb Adderley and Mel Renfro, and defensive tackle Bob Lilly and Randy "The Manster" White. The Cowboys of that era also included Pro Bowlers in receiver Drew Pearson, running backs Calvin Hill and Duane Thomas, fullback Walt Garrison, tight end Billy Joe Dupree, defensive linemen Ed "Too Tall" Jones and Harvey Martin, linebacker Thomas

Cowboys Micah Parsons wants offensive re

scored his first career touchdown on Sunday, returning a fumble 36 yards to help the roll over the in Week 7. Now he wants to taste the end zone again, this time on offense. after the game, the second-year linebacker suggested he deserves some offensive Tony Carr Jersey reps moving forward, even proposing a "red-zone package" with the reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year as a ball-carrier."Zeke ( ) said I look just like him," Parsons said of his TD return. "I think Kira Lewis Jr. Jersey I definitely deserve a rep now. They can't say they haven't seen it in a game. So hopefully I get thrown in a goal-line package or red-zone package." While Parsons made the remark in jest, it stems from a serious desire to play both sides of New Orleans Pelicans Hoodie the ball. Or at least that's what coach Mike McCarthy alluded to when speaking on the linebacker's TD later Sunday."I was obviously Steven Adams Jersey very excited," McCarthy said. "But part of me is annoyed because he wants to be on offense already. Now I'm going to have a hard time keeping him out of my office." Parsons taking red-zone snaps wouldn't New Orleans Pelicans Jeresy be unprecedented. coach Mike Vrabel notably starred as a linebacker for the duration of his career (1997-2010), while also serving as a situational tight end for the . He ended up scoring 10 career TDs as part of a red-zone package.
