Jim Trotter for The Athletic:
[He] may well be the person to take the union wherever it wants to go, but the players will have no one to blame but themselves if he fails. Through apathy and/or blind trust, they allowed union president [] to drive a selection process unlike any that had ever preceded it.
...
Whatever the reason, it helps explains how you get a selection process like we just witnessed. As far back as March, players were privately expressing concerns to me about what was taking place. The expectation then was that a vote would take place that month at the union meeting in Hawaii. When it didn’t happen, some players essentially checked out and left the process to [the union president] and the executive committee — which makes the scheduling of this week’s vote more curious.
[The union president] spent eight seasons as an NFL offensive lineman. He knows the players get only one time each year to be completely off the books, that from early June to mid-July they schedule family vacations and international travel. So why would he hold a vote at a time when he knows turnout is likely to be low?
ESPN has a new article suggesting he resigned shortly after they started asking him about billing strip club visits to the union.

An article from August headlined, "Why did NFL stars gather in June to play chess? It all began with Amari Cooper’s vision":
When Cooper first drove his Lamborghini into a suburban townhouse complex in 2020, a 14-year-old’s parents were wary.
Was a Cowboys player 12 years their son’s senior really just driving him to … the neighborhood Barnes & Noble for chess lessons?
Deviprasath, then a ninth grader on the verge of attaining chess’s expert “national master” rating, told his mother he was going to coach Cooper.
“So first she Googles him and tries to understand,” Deviprasath said. “She honestly wasn’t believing him. Like — how does this happen?”
...
They met each Monday night for two to three hours at the Barnes & Noble near Deviprasath’s townhouse.
Four years later, lessons continue.
They’ve outlasted the Barnes & Noble, which closed in May 2023, and Cooper’s Cowboys tenure, which wrapped March 2022 when Dallas traded him to the Browns for a fifth-round draft pick as his salary outgrew their interest. Deviprasath worried then that the lessons and friendship had run their course.
Instead, he and Cooper began FaceTiming each Monday night as Deviprasath shared his screen.
“Then he came back to Dallas [each offseason] and it was almost like no difference,” Deviprasath said. “Our chess lessons have grown over the years.”
FSO:
Quarterback Jalen Hurts ($13.5 million) and running back Saquon Barkley ($3.8 million) teamed up amid a 12-3 season to give their linemen personalized golf carts donning their names and numbers. Both Barkley and Hurts’ personal logos are on the back of each cart.
An iconic part of football history.

By his junior season at BYU, Hill was a Heisman Trophy candidate with the likes of Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston – both are now starting NFL quarterbacks. That season, however, was cut short due to an injury. That was all too familiar for Hill as four of his five seasons at BYU ended in injuries -- a knee injury, a broken fibula, a foot fracture and an elbow strain.What got Hill through all those injuries?...Hill would go back to advice he received from [Jim] Harbaugh, who he stayed in contact with after the recruiting process."He shared with me an experience that he had when he was playing at Michigan where he had just broken his arm his junior year and wasn't able to play and compete," Hill said.Harbaugh told Hill that the best way to fill the void of not being able to play football was to compete in something else."I went and competed in the classroom," Hill said. "That filled the void mentally and emotionally of where I was feeling like I was like still contributing to Taysom Hill the person
Lil’Jordan Humphrey’s name is somewhat of a contradiction. At 6-foot-4-inches, 222 pounds, he is not what most would call “little,” but as a compromise for his older brother — who wanted him to be named ‘Michael’ for Michael Jordan — his mother went with “Lil’Jordan ... Humphrey started playing football when he was 4 years old ... was a running back his entire career but is now playing receiver at Texas.

I think the one assistant (super short, likely their math guy) walks up and says "knee" or "kneel", but Mario and Dawson look right at him and ignore him.

It was right at 1:00 mark left on clock. The guy kinda slinks away as Dawson starts barking out to Offense.
Watched it again. He told him twice.

Walked up along sideline at 1:04 to 1:00 and yelled knee/kneel, backed off a few yards, definitely yelled at Dawson/Mario again at :55. Dawson acted like dude was invisible. Those 2 deserve all the heat. pic.twitter.com/65SebNHH3k

The Front Office Sports story is very worth reading until the end. A few details about the wild west of NIL money:
[The former coach], who is Mormon, says he has plenty of connections to business owners and donors and people with deep pockets within the church. He worked those contacts to help bring in money at Jackson State and, later, Colorado. While he was the special teams coordinator at CU, he took it upon himself to get involved in NIL fundraising efforts that aren’t typically in the purview of college assistant coaches.
...
Why did he pay for his own travel to Jordan, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia?
“I’m betting on myself,” [he] says
...
[His] pitch didn’t get any bites in Jordan. He spent about five days there, bought a thawb (a long-sleeved, ankle-length, traditional robe) and worked on his manners. When he got to Saudi Arabia, he walked around a government complex all day asking to meet people, and eventually got a meeting with PIF officials.

The Jets messed up in two ways with Aaron Rodgers:
Last October, Sportico first reported that the Jets declined to purchase insurance on Rodgers' contract to protect the team if he missed games for injury or illness. The Jets missed out on recouping up to $22 million in insurance proceeds by not purchasing one of several policies ranging in price from $1 million to $4 million, per the report.
Not mentioned was the biggest loss the Jets suffered by forgoing insurance, the very reason that [one expert] calls this a tragedy: the corresponding salary cap relief.
The CBA labels insurance proceeds as a "refund from the player," which qualifies the amount as a cap credit for the club for the following season. In the simplest terms, if a player who eats up a significant portion of a club's salary cap misses significant time with injury or illness, a club doesn't have to take it as a total loss, but can recover space for the following year. Plus, insurance premium payments don't count against the salary cap.
(The long article is mostly about the salary cap loophole)
