Tight end Clay Harbor was placed on injured reserve last August with the Saints and missed the 2017 season. This offseason, the 30-year-old suffered another football-related injury. Harbor, you see, was a contestant on ABC’s The Bachelorette, a show in which several men vie to win the heart of you guessed it a bachelorette.

During a group date on Monday night’s episode, a football game broke out (as it does) and while stiff-arming an opponent to the ground Harbor got hurt. We know this because he said, I got injured playing football on ‘The Bachelorette,’ adding: That’s pretty funny.

Federal regulation? Francesa asked Murphy if he thinks Congress could regulate sports betting nationally – a right the high court made clear it has. My gut tells me it stays state regulated, Murphy said. There’s some noise around federal action. But I’ve long given up my license to predict what comes out of Washington.

World Cup : Murphy said it’s not a coincidence betting will start right before the World Cup kicks off. That’s not by accident. I’m a big soccer fan, he said. I wish the U.S. were in the darn cup. That’s one thing I bemoan.

Sherman is coming off a season-ending right Achilles injury that wiped out the final seven games of his 2017 campaign. The corner also underwent a cleanup of his left Achilles this offseason.

The 30-year-old signed with the Niners in March after being released by the Seattle Seahawks.

Taking part in individual drills this week should keep Sherman on schedule to be ready for training camp in mid-July, which has been the corner’s goal.

It is clear at this point that 2015 first-round pick Shane Ray will not starting opposite Von Miller long-term. Going into the draft, it did not seem that the Denver Broncos had a need at outside linebacker, with Miller, Ray and Shaquil Barrett on the roster. But the team used its fifth overall selection on Bradley Chubb, a 4-3 defensive end from North Carolina State, and changed the dynamics in Denver completely.

Now, it’s almost impossible to think that Chubb isn’t the full-time starter by 2019, with him playing at least a rotational role as a rookie. The Broncos have long searched for DeMarcus Ware’s replacement across from Miller. Years later, Chubb will look to fill his shoes.

Ryan Shazier‘s father Vernon was as moved as the rest of us, when his son walked across the stage at the 2018 NFL Draft.

He’s always an uplifting and positive guy, so it was awesome to see him out in the community. He was chirping a little bit, talking, he was trying to find the big kids to organize races.

Those might seem like little things, since he won’t play football this year (or perhaps ever), but Shazier remains an uplifting example for those around him.

Simms then told a story to demonstrate Gruden’s intensity when it comes to working with his players. While honeymooning in Italy, Gruden repeatedly called Simms, asking when he was returning. Gruden was so relentless that Simms eventually cut the trip short by two days so that he could get back to work.

Raiders players like Derek Carr likely have already gotten a taste of life with Gruden, who actually seems to have mellowed and become more self-aware during his time away from the sport. We’ll have to wait for some of Carr’s stories to see whether Gruden actually is going a little easier on the players.

Namath celebrates after leading the Jets to victory in Super Bowl III.AP

Namath’s longtime agent Jimmy Walsh recalls an autograph signing in Virginia in a ballroom full of athletes. One athlete noticed Namath’s line was longer than his. He asked someone what Namath was doing. He was told Namath stood up and shook everyone’s hand.

He’s ruined it for the rest of us, the athlete said.
