| | rantnrave:// Is COLIN KAEPERNICK the most important player in the NFL? His protest continues to influence the league. NFL teams were trying to sniff out potential protesters during interviews at the DRAFT COMBINE. Executives remain angry at Kaepernick. BLEACHER REPORT's MIKE FREEMAN writes that the reaction to the QB is politicizing the league itself. But the league can't control politics like it used to. Player empowerment has led to a decentralization of authority. Remember, in the NFL, personality is not a feature, it's a bug. Kaepernick exposed that like never before, creating a tempest the league could not control. Teams are trying to gain back their power. I doubt players will want to give it away... Women are strong as hell... The amateur sports highs and lows of the business elite... NHL commissioner GARY BETTMAN vs. the city of GLENDALE... SYRACUSE coach JIM BOEHEIM vs. the city of GREENSBORO... The NFL's newest news-breaker: STEVE SMITH, the retired wide receiver... I'll admit it. I shouldn't have turned off the BARCELONA-PSG game in the 71st minute. Wow... DAN BARBARISI went from WALL STREET JOURNAL reporter to professional daily fantasy player to author. Look forward to reading DUELING WITH KINGS... BILL WEBB, the man responsible for your FOX MLB broadcasts, METS games on SNY and a titan on the production side of sports television, died Tuesday night. He was 70. | | | - Mike Vorkunov, curator |
