Roger Goodell: NFL to fight Sunday Ticket ruling; open to private equity ownership
Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL plan a renewed fight in a court ruling over the league Sunday Ticket plan that could result in a damages toll over $14 billion. Goodell underscored the path to further litigation the NFL plans to take in response to the class-action verdict from a Los Angeles jury ordering payment from the NFL of $4.7 billion in damages to the residential class and another $96 million to the commercial class, siding against the league on accusations the NFL violated antitrust laws by making out-of-market Sunday afternoon games available for distribution through the "Sunday Ticket" subscription....
Three Georgia football players arrested in traffic incidents
Apparently, Kirby Smart's efforts to curb reckless driving from Georgia football players are not enough. Georgia linebacker Smael Mondon and offensive lineman Bo Hughley were arrested on consecutive nights this week on traffic-related offenses, according to police records. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported late Thursday that there was actually a third Georgia player, freshman defensive back Demello Jones who was also arrested in the same incident.

Roger Goodell: NFL disagrees with Sunday Ticket verdict
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday that the league feels "very strongly about our position" and plans to follow the litigation in response to the recent verdict involving DirectTV's Sunday Ticket packages. A Los Angeles jury ordered the NFL last month to pay $4.7 billion in damages to the residential class and $96 million to the commercial class after it voted unanimously that the league, DirecTV, CBS and Fox colluded to increase the price of the game packages. The NFL could be on the hook for billions more, however, because damages are tripled under federal antitrust laws. "We obviously disagree...
WVU's Neal Brown: Big 12 deepest conference 'in the entire country'
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark proclaimed his league one of the three best in the land earlier this week, and he has at least one football expert in his corner on that statement: West Virginia head coach Neal Brown. Brown, fresh off a 9-4 campaign that validated his program in a lot of outsiders' eyes, resulting in a contract extension and continued show of faith from his administration, knows quite a bit about keeping a chip on his shoulder. Speaking at Big 12 media days in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Brown made the point that both his league and his...

Coach Deion Sanders expressed confidence that the right pieces are in place for the Colorado Buffaloes to improve in his second season at the helm, telling reporters Wednesday at Big 12 Media Day he's impressed by the commitment across the board from his new coaching hires and players.

"When I see the defensive line coaches and the way they're...
Vikings' Justin Jefferson 'not mad' at Kirk Cousins for departure
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson said he understands quarterback Kirk Cousins' decision to sign with the Atlanta Falcons. Cousins, after all, signed a four-year, $180 million deal with $100 million guaranteed after spending the past six seasons with Minnesota. "I'm not mad at him at all for that," Jefferson said Tuesday on "The Rich Eisen Show." The Vikings addressed Cousins' departure by signing veteran Sam Darnold and selecting J.J. McCarthy with the 10th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. "I always knew that Kirk was going to do whatever he needs to do for (him) business-wise," Jefferson told...
