With cut-down day looming, some teams can go bargain shopping. And it’s a bit odd for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions to be the ones looking for help, cheap. Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Cardinals have sent linebacker Cam Thomas to Kansas City, for a seventh-round pick. Which basically means that, without the trade, Thomas would have been cut. The Chiefs, at the bottom of the pecking order, most likely would not have gotten him on waivers.

WHITE MOUNTAIN—“That’s a lot of horses,” lamented Cheyenne resident Robyn Smith from a high-desert ridgeline. It wasn’t her first exasperated exclamation. “Argh, oh crap,” was her immediate reaction to learning a federal judge had given the Bureau of Land Management the OK to proceed with plans to fully remove two wild horse herds from the landscape in southwest Wyoming.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
