Becoming more than $100 million richer appears to have done very little to change Trevor Bauer. The new Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher made his second spring training start on Saturday against the division rival San Diego Padres, throwing three scoreless innings with three strikeouts. It was a somewhat uneventful start, except for the fact that Bauer could be seen doing … something with his left eye. At first, it looked like he had caught something in his eye or was having some kind of… Source link

It’s hard to find a lot of credentialed evaluators willing to go on the record to suggest that Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence isn’t the best QB prospect in the 2021 NFL draft. But we found one who doesn’t even have Lawrence has one of his two best QB prospects this year. June Jones, the former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and San Diego Chargers, has watched many of the top quarterbacks available for the 2021 NFL draft. He hasn’t seen them all. But he’s seen enough of Lawrence to be less… Source link

With little fanfare across the NFL — but unmistakable joy inside the domestic fan base of the Jacksonville Jaguars — the contract tying London to its most familiar American football franchise ended in October. For all intents and purposes, the Jaguars’ obligation to London expired. Unless you are somewhere inside the orbit of the Jacksonville franchise or spend your time studying the NFL’s unrelenting drumbeat of business operations, you probably didn’t notice. But there’s a reason… Source link

Anytime a draft hopeful asks if going to a certain team would boost his endorsement potential, NFL agent Molly McManimie always answers the same way. McManimie says it’s a factor, just not the biggest one. A player’s position matters most. Mediocre starting quarterbacks are often more recognizable to fans and more appealing to corporations than some of the NFL’s premier linemen. How well a player performs on the field is also critical, as is his star quality and charisma. The best… Source link

After treating their fans to 13 consecutive losses, with barely any of them being remotely competitive, the New York Jets decided to spread some holiday cheer on Sunday. They went out and won, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 23-20.
