I like the whole NFL Rooney Rule—which the thing, what I like so much about it is, they didn’t oblige them to hire them. But it was really, you have to interview them because it’s about the prejudice. I am convinced that the prejudice is the first step, that we can still influence those that have those kinds of thoughts. … I think if [a Rooney Rule] is implemented in a more systematic way, I think that would also give us a chance then to get into such processes and say, ‘OK, if you have three interviews, make sure you also have to interview a minority group.’ And that would be something that could help improve the situation as well.

These are just people that are making problems and that’s it. It’s either for violence or racist behavior and then, a lot of times, they are blaming the clubs. The clubs are getting fined and everything and I don’t know the effect of that.

But first the CB summit, and the most important thing on the docket that weekend: For 90 minutes, the five corners broke down their own film and explained the methods that make them exceptional. Slay went into detail on how he interprets different 3×1 formations. Rhodes broke down when and how to be aggressive in man coverage. Talib explained how he disguises coverages and sits on routes, leading to 10 interceptions returned for touchdowns in his career, putting him at fourth all-time behind Rod Woodson (12), Darren Sharper (11) and Charles Woodson (11). Talib is great at taking the call coach gives you and using it to effect on the field, Slay says. He has a lot of pick-sixes because he sits on a lot of routes and jumps them. He’s great at route recognition and understanding how to use the call against them.

They were all there to pick Sherman’s brain on fade routes; the former Seahawks cornerback (that feels weird to say, doesn’t it?) is renowned in the NFL defensive back community for being the best in the business at not only defending fade passes, but also intercepting them. He estimates two-thirds of his 32 career interceptions have come on this single route.

Cam Newton is one of the most physically gifted athletes to ever play quarterback. He’s also one of the most inconsistent.

Newton has stretches throughout a season where he goes hot and cold. One game he throws for 300 yards and three touchdowns, the next he’s a turnover machine with a below-average passer rating.

As defenders, when a guy comes up and hits a ground ball to short [to beat the shift], we still go to the same place the next time. It doesn’t change anything. You look at the guys they shift on, and they’re paid to drive the ball. People aren’t doing it against Billy Hamilton and guys like that.

I think it gets blown out of proportion when people say, ‘Just hit a ground ball to short.’ You can’t just take a 98 mph cutting fastball in on your hands and do that. Let’s just say I sell out tonight, and I try it four times. The likelihood of me hitting four straight ground balls to short and ending up 4-for-4 are very slim. If I succeed once or maybe twice, at best I’m going to go 2-for-4 with two singles, where if I just play the game, I might go 2-for-4 with a homer and a double.

The owners are now not even being subtle about using what began as Kaepernick’s solo protest as its signal to wrestle their enemies, the players, into submission. To put them in their place and keep them in their lane. To remind them who tells who when they can and cannot stand, sit and kneel. To tell the audience that it caters to some of them and could not care less about others.

That they can spend 23 months railing against politics getting mixed up in their sport, only to dive into politics feet first whenever they please and dare the targets of their lectures to do something about it, shouldn’t surprise anyone by now.

Don’t mix your politics into our sport. Because it isn’t your sport. Here’s a real, live NFL owner and his letter to the Senate to remind you.

When you look at where we’re headed in baseball, the one alarming thing is the number of balls that are put in play. It’s hard now — period. Everyone is throwing 95 mph-plus with movement. Every bullpen has guys out there doing that. So just putting the ball in play and not striking out is a challenge in itself. If you already have all these disadvantages against the hitting side of the game, I wouldn’t be opposed to getting back to playing the game the way it was always played, where you have two guys on the left side of the infield and two guys on the right side of the infield.

How much Orlando values its cap flexibility in 2019 could determine the futures of Nikola Vucevic ($12.75 million) and Terrence Ross ($10.5 million). Despite the Magic having the potential for $30 million in space next summer, they can do their free-agent shopping one year early and turn both contracts into something of value even if it does reduce spending in 2019.

Vucevic has appeal not only because his salary ranks outside of the top 20 among starting centers but because of his consistency since his arrival in Orlando. Still, the addition of Mohamed Bamba signaled that the Magic are focused more on the future.

What is the value of veterans on expiring contracts? That is the question Phoenix has to answer regarding Tyson Chandler ($13.5 million) and Jared Dudley ($9.5 million).

Yet losing Tavares rips the heart out of the current lineup, and it was a lineup fraught with problems to begin, from the crease out.

Their focus, their future … it’s all reshaped and shifted. Perhaps that’ll be liberating, what with the cap space they’ll have to play with. But the path to contention was much clearer with Tavares leading the charge.

The Sharks were runners-up for Tavares but won the shade-throwing competition, as GM Doug Wilson expressed disappointment in his decision but thanked his own players for having continually chosen to bypass a chance at unrestricted free agency in recent years because they want to play in San Jose. Hey, enjoy Canada, John. We’re good …

The Sharks now turn their attention to the Joes: Pavelski, their 34-year-old star who has one year left on this contract; and Thornton, a free agent whom they hope will return for another season despite some wonky health.

Instead, they sign Jason Campbell, one of the only other veteran quarterbacks on the market, to add competition. They also pass on drafting a quarterback. Campbell doesn’t play well enough to wrestle the job away from the fan favorite, and Tebow gets the starting job again in 2012.

In an AFC West that doesn’t feature another team with a winning record, the Broncos sneak into the playoffs again, but there’s no Pittsburgh Steelers miracle this time. Instead, Denver is punted from the postseason in the Wild Card round with another playoff blowout.

The bill in the New York State Assembly makes compromises on the subject. It says sportsbooks can use whichever data sources they want to determine the outcome of straight-up bets on winners and losers. But for in-game betting on specific events, the New York bill requires the books to buy the data from the leagues. Some states are likely to settle all the way on one side or the other, pleasing either the leagues or the gaming industry.

The leagues need to conduct an assessment — I’m sure they already have — of what assets do they have that are very part and parcel to a sports gambling business that they can use as negotiating chips to extract things such as an integrity fee, access to bettor data directly rather than through some commission, things like that, Etna says.

If Romo had signed with the Texans, it’s certainly possible they wouldn’t have wanted to give up so much draft capital to trade up to get Watson. But let’s look at why the 2017 national championship hero still would’ve been worth parting with a future first-round pick:

Romo would have been 36 going on 37, like an older, less mellifluous Liesl von Trapp. His latest injury was a broken bone in his back, less than three years after he underwent surgery for a herniated disk. He hadn’t been healthy for a full season since 2012 and had only played in five games in the previous two seasons.

Hey man, you get him between the lines, get the ball in your hand, I don’t give a damn what anybody says. It’s time to work. So no, I don’t think we’ll be able to hit him too hard, but I’m going to hit his ass.

He’s a good dude. Obviously, I’ve played in a 3-4 before under [New York Jets Head] Coach [Todd] Bowles, and Coach Bettcher and Bowles worked together, so I have a lot of familiarity with the system. It’s just all about reaching in that memory bank. Everything I was told to forget, I’ve got to remember again.

Obviously, in some sets, it will be different, but it’s no different for the guys in the interior. It’s more so for the outside linebackers. Outside linebackers who are still defensive ends. So, yeah, I think people just think about it too much, they put too much into it. There’s really no difference at all.

The opening day of 2018 NHL free agency included a seismic shift in the league’s balance of power, with John Tavares signing a seven-year, $77 million deal with the ascendant Toronto Maple Leafs.

But the Leafs weren’t the only winners, and the teams that lost out on Tavares aren’t the only losers. Here’s our rundown of both sides of the ledger after the opening hours of the free-agent frenzy:

Lou Lamoriello is a stabilizer. He arrived in Toronto when they needed a veteran executive in the general manager’s role, and left three years later with the Leafs as a rising Stanley Cup contender. There’s no better validation of that status than the Maple Leafs being good enough to attract the premiere unrestricted free agent available.

He wanted the opportunity bad, Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. I asked him and pushed him to make sure that this is something that he was going to fight for and he did.

Washington jumped out early, scoring an unearned run in the fourth on an Anthony Rendon sacrifice fly. In the fifth, the lead expanded to 3-0 when Adam Eaton singled to right to score Daniel Murphy and Mark Reynolds.

However, Gio Gonzalez labored in the bottom of the fifth after cruising through the first four innings with only one hit and one walk allowed. He walked three guys in the fifth inning, including Cesar Hernandez with the bases loaded, that put Philadelphia on the board. Rhys Hoskins’ sacrifice fly to right made it 3-2 then Odubel Herrera singled to score Carlos Santana to tie the game.

Some teams will worry that such deals would compromise future cap space. The Knicks, with big free-agency dreams in 2019 and 2020, seem like such a team. But the league will be (relatively) flush with cap space again in 2019 as more deals from the mega-summer of 2016 vanish. It will never be like 2016 again for players, especially as more of them flood next summer’s market, but 2019 and 2020 will be loads better than this summer.

The Marlins overtook the Mets on the scoreboard and in the standings Saturday.

And for the second game in a row, Miami beat New York with a rookie pitcher making his first major league start.

I’m not throwing as hard as I used to. If I were to throw over the top, I’d still throw a little harder than I am right now. (But) at the end of the day, I’m feeling really good with my delivery right now, my mechanics. It’s been a lot of fun making these adjustments.

Jackson headed to Memphis with a velvety look.

The Kings have not had a winning season since 2005-06, and have won fewer than 30 games in eight of their last 10 seasons.

Some NBA scouts worried Bagley had limited upside in the NBA compared to other top prospects, but his production in high school and college was too strong for Sacramento to ignore.

The Hawks selected Real Madrid’s Luka Doncic with the No. 3 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, but he will never play a game in an Atlanta uniform.

The Hawks picked Doncic and then traded him to the Mavericks, the NBA announced Thursday. Dallas drafted Oklahoma guard Trae Young at No. 5 and sent him to Atlanta, along with a future first rounder.
