After the Washington Football Team’s Alex Smith suffered a compound spiral fracture during a 2018 game, his wife says in the ambulance he wanted updates on the game: “He was not even worried about his leg whatsoever. He was worried about his team.” https://t.co/eFBFXj5jXm pic.twitter.com/Am2wBcJ1Uq

Alex Smith: "This year has only emboldened me, that I can play at this level."

That does not sound like a guy who is retiring.

Not to be picky but...nepotism is about hiring relatives. Not someone you know or worked with.

Spoke with a Washington Football Team spokesperson and there’s nothing official to say. On anything.

Just spoke with a source about a new Washington Football GM - "Things are progressing, should be an answer tomorrow."

The blind faith some fans have in Rivera is so sad.

I love Ron, I think he’s a hell of a head coach. Thinking he can’t make a wrong decision just makes you a sheep. Sorry if that bothers you.

Bruce Arians on Antoine Winfield, says he should be defensive rookie of the year, throws shade at Chase Young: "Seven and a half sacks isn't anything to what he's done."

I’m hearing there is a march planned on my behalf in Houston today. Although I am humbled I ask that whoever is organizing the march cancel for the sake of public safety. Covid is spreading at a high rate & I don’t want any fans to unnecessarily expose themselves to infection.

Being from New Orleans Drew Brees meant everything to us in that city..... at many times our only hope, you know to smile & feel good, to live in a winning reality.... that man gave us all life.... none of us are perfect but he was close Salute !! #9Forever @drewbrees

I wonder if Brandon Staley can bring Kevin O'Connell with him to the Chargers? O'Connell could be on the fast track for a HC gig if he left, called plays, and Herbert thrived.

Remember: Matt LaFleur left LAR for TEN for a year so he could call plays before getting the GB job.

Would you believe it?! It's my 99th birthday which means I can stay up as late as I want without asking. I am also very pleased to let you know about the re-release of my long-lost series after fifty years! I am just so proud of the “Pet Set”. I hope everyone is safe and well. pic.twitter.com/uyn1IEXUqb
