LeBron James, you may have heard, has played professional basketball and lived in Los Angeles since 2018.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is emerging as one of the game’s best pass-catchers in his second season. His combination of size, speed, and improving skills can even seem cartoonish at times.

The atmosphere for NFL games is a little more subdued this season, thanks to a pandemic that has, among other things, deprived NFL stadiums from being packed with amped fans at the time of kick-off (well, unless you’re in Jacksonville — that looks pretty much the same).

However, […]

Mike Vrabel is a protege of Bill Belichick, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that no one has manipulated loopholes in the rule book to find minor advantages more effectively than the Tennessee Titans head coach.
