— Broncos coach Sean Payton is going to be more involved with the Denver offense, which is probably a good thing for Denver fans, probably a bad thing for Broncos OC Davis Webb.
— Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow) is good to go this week against the Giants; he dislocated the elbow on the last play of the first half in a Week 2 loss at Dallas, but his backup Marcus Mariota is hurt so Daniels will play while wearing a brace on the arm.
Daniels will have to wear the brace the rest of the season.
— Reading between the lines into Dana Altman retiring as coach at Oregon, one of his better guards bolted to Louisville for a $4M paycheck. The kid was actually from Oregon; not a lot of great high school players come from there.
College sports have become minor league sports and it is driving some coaches out of the game.
— Lebron James scored 10 points, had 5 assists in his first exhibition game with the 76ers, a 114-108 loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
