Recognized for his role in guiding the players association through the 2011 NFL lockout, Smith was pivotal in facilitating a groundbreaking collective bargaining agreement and spearheading the development of vital health and safety protocols for players.  

What would you do if one potentially risky decision could change the course of your team's future? Buckle in, because we're getting into the nitty-gritty of NFL trades by examining the hypothetical trade between Kyler Murray and Caleb Williams. We dissect the fallout from Kyler's ACL injury and the Cardinals' potential move up in the draft pick order. Expect a deep dive into team strategies and roster impacts while also pondering the possibility of a new team name under Josh Harris's regime.Ever wondered how a conversation about the Rooney Rule and affirmative action might sound? It's a heavy topic, but one we're not shying away from. We're unpacking the complex dynamics of the Rooney Rule and affirmative action in college admissions, and their influence on the NFL. In the wake of Demaurice Smith's departure and Clarence Thomas's views on affirmative action, we're analyzing how the NFL's lack of adherence to the Rooney Rule may impact the game. Finally, we're turning our attention to the gritty world of college football. The controversies surrounding the transfer portal and the influence of the Rooney Rule and nepotism on the hiring process in the NFL are on the table. We're challenging the expectations of boosters and fans, critiquing the culture of recruiting, and questioning the lack of freedom for players under NCAA rules. We promise, it's a chat that's as insightful as it is provocative.Support the show

Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald recap the biggest news of the week, including Quinnen Williams' brand new extension, the New York Jets on Hard Knocks, Saquon Barkley's impending holdout and Kyler Murray's latest comments. Later, the duo debate over whether or not Andrew Luck, Cam Newton and Michael Vick deserve spots in the Hall of Fame and discuss the latest drama surrounding the leaked Jon Gruden emails.2:25 - Quinnen Williams and the New York Jets have reached an agreement on a new four-year extension. While Aaron Rodgers is the most important Jets player right now, Williams could end up being a cornerstone for the Jets franchise for years to come. Robinson says league sources believe he could be the best DT in the NFL a few years down the road.7:20 - The drama around the contract situation with Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants continues, as the deadline to sign franchise tagged players to an extension is Monday. Robinson expects that Saquon will sit out of at least some of Giants training camp to show his displeasure with the situation. It also seems unlikely that any of the other tagged players yet to receive extensions (Evan Engram, Tony Pollard and Josh Jacobs) will get one by Monday.18:00 - The Jets have been selected to be on this year's edition of Hard Knocks. Robinson is most excited to see the dynamic between quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, and how willing Rodgers is to coach Wilson up. McDonald is most interested in how palpable the tension will be around the building as the Jets enter a Super-Bowl-or-bust season. In other media news, Netflix released a new series following Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota throughout the 2022 season, and Robinson gives his takeaways from the first episode.34:10 - Kyler Murray made comments earlier this week that if things don't go well in Arizona, "we all have to look in the mirror." Both hosts agree that Murray has routinely shown a lack of ability to take personal accountability publicly, and morale appears to be at an all-time low in Arizona. Is it possible the Arizona Cardinals try to replace Murray next year if they get an early draft pick? Robinson and McDonald agree it's very much in play.44:15 - Is Andrew Luck a Hall of Famer? The hosts discuss how the bar to enter the Hall of Fame has lowered over time, and whether or not Luck could qualify despite his short career. They extend the question to other fringe HOF QBs like Cam Newton and Michael Vick. Overall, Robinson believes none of the three will get in, but it's an interesting debate.56:05 - Robinson and McDonald put on their detective hats and attempt to determine who leaked the Jon Gruden emails as Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL begins to ramp up. The prime suspects are Roger Goodell himself, former Washington owner Dan Snyder (to take attention off the negative news around his team), or former NFLPA president DeMaurice Smith. Robinson wonders if, in fact, all of them were involved the leak in one way or another and believes this story is only just starting, as sources close to Gruden say that he is on a warpath to take on the NFL.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Welcome to today's edition of the Vikings Daily Opener. We are now 73 days away from the Vikings' week 1 season opener. In this episode, we discuss a variety of topics, including the disrespect towards Justin Jefferson, the Curse of 1998, the Vikings' training camp, the new NFLPA executive director, and the state of the Vikings' wide receiver position. Pat McAfee made an unsupportable comment about Justin Jefferson on his show, claiming that Dalvin Cook's presence on the field was the reason behind Jefferson's high level of production. However, this argument ignores the reality of the Vikings' offensive strategy, which ran through Jefferson. The Vikings were also top 3 in passing attempts per game last season, further supporting the argument that Jefferson's success was not due to Cook's presence. We also discussed the Curse of 1998 in an article that explores the Vikings' struggles after the tragic 1998 season. The team entered purgatory, missing the playoffs for six out of the next seven years, and never finishing better than 8-8. The article highlights the Vikings' draft incompetence and missed opportunities, leading to their struggles. The Vikings will start their training camp for the upcoming NFL season on July 23rd, with rookies reporting first. Veterans are scheduled to report on July 25th. The team's headquarters, TCO Performance Center, will host the training camp, which is open to the public for 14 practices. The NFL Players Association has announced that Lloyd Howell will be the new executive director, taking over from DeMaurice Smith by the end of 2024. Howell, who was the treasurer and chief financial officer of Booz Allen, will be the fourth executive director in the NFLPA's history, following in the footsteps of Smith, Gene Upshaw, and Ed Garvey. We also discussed the current state of the Vikings' wide receiver position heading into the 2023 season. The article from Vikings Wire provides a comprehensive analysis of the position, highlighting Justin Jefferson's historic 2022 season and K.J. Osborn's development, but also acknowledging Adam Thielen's regression during the past season. Lastly, we took a trip down memory lane and discussed the number 73 and its impact on the history of the Minnesota Vikings. From Ron Yary to Junior Aho, the impact of the number 73 on the team's history cannot be overstated. Thank you for tuning in to today's episode of the Vikings Daily Opener. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's all for today's Vikings Daily Opener.

Today in a special edition of The Pivot, Ryan, Channing and Fred sit down with the man who is at the helm of the NFL's Player Union- DeMaurice Smith for an in-depth conversation covering the state of the union, player's contracts, injury clauses and the relationship with owners and the commissioner Roger Goodell. Ryan starts the conversation going back to working as player rep before the lock out in 2011 and how the league has changed from then and continues to evolve every year. De talks about how he got involved as the head of the union and his passion behind his purpose and explains why he is often seen as an adversarial figure between the players and the owners and league. Fred and Channing ask a lot of questions around injury clauses after what we saw happen with Damar Hamlin a few weeks ago as well as guaranteed contracts around quarterbacks and specifically ask about Lamar Jackson and what the future looks like for him as well as learn why it takes a unified front to go against a multi-billon dollar business.

“Quit blaming the referees for ruining the NFL. Take Jerome Boger and Carl Cheffers out of your crosshairs. The lead officials flagging defensive linemen for roughing the passer are soldiers following orders handed down from on high.” Jason says that the players - current and former - are responsible for undermining the integrity of the game. Why? Because they outsourced their interest in the league to an unworthy leader. “The players chose DeMaurice Smith, a beta male with a subversive agenda, to lead their union. The players swallowed the anti-Gene Upshaw narrative and decided the NFLPA needed an executive director with no connection to or passion for football. They prioritized leadership that would be adversarial with ownership, align with progressive politics, and willing to wage a race war with an industry that produces more black male millionaires than any other. Useful idiots elected a Trojan Horse to lead them.” An all-star panel of T.J. Moe, Steve Kim and Delano Squires join Jason to diagnose the NFL's roughing epidemic, who's to blame and how to fix it.

On Friday, the Liberals announced that the temporary ban on handgun imports would be taking effect on August 18 as a "stopgap" while the more comprehensive national freeze moves through the legislative process. Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly held a joint press conference in Etobicoke on Friday to discuss the move, which according to CTV News, was pushed through without the approval of Parliament. "There's no doubt that there is a very pressing issue that lies before us," Mendicino began, "and that is the need, the necessity to eradicate gun violence, one of the most pernicious and complex social harms that we see visited upon our communities every day." He went on to announce that in order to hasten the implementation of the handgun freeze laid out in Bill C-21, "nearly all individuals and businesses in Canada will be banned from importing handguns" beginning August 19. Joly explained that as foreign minister, she has "the authority to deny any import or export permit application that is contrary to Canada's security." She noted that when Trudeau announced the freeze in May, there was an "uptick" in guns being purchased by Canadians. "We want to prevent that," she said, explaining that since most guns in Canada are not made in Canada, implementing a ban on imports would effectively ensure no new guns are purchased legally. The move to ban handguns has faced pushback from many who question its effectiveness. In 2019, for example, Vancouver police Chief Adam Palmer said that Canada already had very strong firearms regulations in place and that no further action was required. He added that the vast majority of gun crimes, especially those with handguns, are committed using illegal guns, thus it makes very little sense to ban an already prohibited weapon. https://www.theepochtimes.com/southern-california-city-to-consider-banning-abortions-declaring-sanctuary-for-life_4646733.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport California City to Consider Banning Abortions, Declaring ‘Sanctuary for Life’ Officials in the City of San Clemente, California, will consider a resolution Aug. 16 that would ban abortion and declare the city a “sanctuary for life.” The resolution defines the beginning of human life to be the moment of conception and would make it the city’s declared duty to protect that life until natural death. If passed, it would declare the city’s support for the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent overturning of Roe v. Wade and ban the act of abortion, abortion clinics, and abortion pills in the city. The resolution allows exceptions for women at risk of losing their lives in the process of birth and for victims of rape or incest. It also suggests that human beings do not have the authority to decide to end the life of the unborn. “We believe that life is God-ordained and God is the author and finisher of every life,” the resolution states. “[A]s a city council, we will protect and sustain life at every stage.” The resolution cites Poelker v. Doe of 1977—a legal precedent that allowed a city in Missouri to refuse to provide publicly funded hospitals for nontherapeutic abortions even though it provided facilities for childbirth—saying that “the Constitution does not forbid a state or county or city … from expressing a preference for normal childbirth instead of abortion.” Councilman Steve Knoblock, who proposed the resolution, hopes it will help to initiate change within California, considering the current trend in pro-abortion laws. “The ultimate purpose of government is to protect the life and liberty of humans including unborn individuals,” Knoblock told The Epoch Times in an interview. Councilwoman Laura Ferguson told the City News Service Aug. 3 that it was a “distraction” from more important topics in the city—such as homelessness—when abortion is “something already legal and codified in state law.” A spokesperson for the state Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office said access to abortion remains fully protected under state law, according to the City News Service. Mario Mainero, Associate Dean for Chapman University’s law school, told The Epoch Times this resolution would have no legal effect because state law pre-empts city law. “California state law permits abortion up to fetal viability and no city can counter that,” Mario said. “They can’t ban abortion clinics because that would violate state law and they can’t do that.” Armored Republic The Mission of Armored Republic is to Honor Christ by equipping Free Men with Tools of Liberty necessary to preserve God-given rights.

Greg Abbott after second bus of migrants arrives: ‘This is horrific’ New York City Mayor Eric Adams blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday after a second bus full of illegal migrants arrived at his doorstep. Adams gave a news conference Sunday morning at the Port Authority where he greeted an incoming bus of around 40 migrants — only 14 of whom disembarked in the Big Apple. https://nypost.com/2022/08/05/nyc-mayor-adams-request-photos-of-city-job-applicants-to-increase-diversity/ Adams asks for photos of city job applicants in effort to increase diversity: report Mayor Eric Adams is collecting headshots of potential city workers in a thinly-veiled effort to increase diversity, according to a new report. Adams has requested city agencies to provide photographs of potential hires to City Hall as candidates go through the interview process for city jobs ranging from assistant commissioner to departmental press secretary, Politico reported Thursday. Several unnamed city officials told the outlet that the request is clearly an effort to hire more diverse staffers. However, Adams maintains that it will merely help him recognize his employees in the sprawling city workforce. “Everyone knew what it was. There was no question. It was the first thing everybody said: ‘We’re going to start counting complexions now,’” one recently-departed City Hall employee told Politico. The majority of the officials interviewed by the outlet — who requested anonymity to speak freely about the internal measure — said they supported a more diverse workforce but worried the practice is already causing the Adams administration to make hiring decisions with a greater emphasis on race and ethnicity than merit. Compounding the issue, nearly every official Politico spoke to also said the headshot request created another snag in the drawn-out hiring process — straying away from the mayor’s signature motto of “get stuff done” at a time when city job vacancies are unusually high. About 8 percent of municipal jobs were vacant as of April, according to data from the Citizens Budget Commission. Politico obtained emails sent by the mayor’s team to about a dozen high-ranking officials at other city agencies asking them to submit headshots of people they hope to employ for Adam’s own review. One official said they were verbally told that Adams wanted agencies to hire people who “reflect the constituencies we serve.” Hiring managers aren’t expected to ask job candidates for headshots, but instead grab photos from social media sites like LinkedIn to appease the mayor’s request, two sources told Politico. https://www.outkick.com/jon-gruden-email-leak-hit-job-agent/ JON GRUDEN’S AGENT BELIEVES FORMER COACH’S EMAILS BEING LEAKED WAS A HIT JOB: ‘HE’S NOT A RACIST’ We’re approaching the one-year mark since Jon Gruden was forced to resign as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders following a scandal involving an email leak, but his agent is still going to bat for his client, now calling it “a hit job.” Gruden stepped down as the Raiders’ head coach in October of 2021 after emails directed at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell were leaked that contained racist and homophobic comments. The emails were discovered in what was a league investigation into the Washington Commanders’ workplace culture. An email reportedly implied that Gruden was annoyed that the NFL forced the then St. Louis Rams to draft “queers,” which is a reference to the team drafting Michael Sam in 2014. Gruden reportedly sent an email making fun of the size of NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith’s lips. “Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of Michelin tires,” the email from 2011 reportedly read. The collection of emails dated back to Gruden’s time at ESPN, before he joined the Raiders for his second stint as head coach. With the original investigation not directly pointed at Gruden, his agent Bob LaMonte is convinced the NFL was simply out to get his client. “I can tell you right now that was a hit job,” Bob LaMonte told JoeBucsFan.com. “Why now, of all things, does that come out in an investigation that had already gone away? It was 10 years ago. And then why Jon and why the Raiders? He wasn’t even in the league at the time of those e-mails…That’s the tragedy of it. You can say what you want, but if anyone really understands Jon, they know he’s not a racist. That’s quite obvious.” LaMonte’s comments about Gruden echo those of legendary college football broadcaster, Brent Musburger, who was also the former radio broadcaster for the Raiders. Report: Raiders Brent Musburger Breaks Silence on Jon Gruden- Play 2:40 - 5:29 Gruden has since filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Goodell as he believes the league sought to ruin his career and make an example of him. The NFL looked to dismiss the case, but a judge denied that ask. Now, let’s end things on more of a positive or interesting note, because not everything is bad news out there: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/eyes-up-for-perseid-meteor-shower-and-saturn-show/ The PUR-SEE-IDS meteor shower is one of the best shows all year for “shooting stars”. Though the Perseids have been active since July 14, the frequency of meteors hurtling through the sky is now heating up this week. In fact, Perseids can produce up to 150 meteors per hour under dark skies! Scientists say the peak time to view this shower will be on the night of Thursday, August 11 & Friday the 12th. The full moon that night may make it tougher to spot the meteors, so train your eyes toward the darker areas and watch closely. This week is also one of the best times to see the ringed planet of Saturn in dramatic fashion. On Sunday, August 14, the giant world will line up with the Earth and the Sun. The alignment is called an “opposition.” Saturn will be closer to Earth than it has been in more than a year. If you want a peek at the planet, look for a golden yellow light shining steadily in the east after sunset. With binoculars, you may even see the spectacular Saturn rings.
