Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time: "Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things. Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us. If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world. That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk. As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter. I just want to move past this."

Tough conference final for the Canadiens by any measure. But what a run by the youngest team to make the playoffs. Other front offices talk so highly about how Montreal is set up for the next decade with so many good contracts and a salary cap that’s going up big time. More in pipeline coming. Still some holes in that lineup, for sure. But Montreal is way ahead of schedule. Sky’s the limit.

The locker room is a sacred place because it brings together everyone from all walks of life and beliefs for one common goal. Calling a teammate out publicly for his political views and to get attention is nasty work.

You believe in fairy tales I debunked in 2011: The Data Who’s right? Were Elway’s comebacks a result of him having to turn into Superman in the fourth quarter to make up for a conservative first three, or was Elway trying to rectify inefficient performance on his part or the defense’s (or both)? We collected the data on Elway’s comeback wins from official NFL gamebooks, breaking it down for the Reeves’ era (1983-1992) and the post-Reeves (1993-1998) era. We tabulated all of Elway’s stats, calculated his drop backs (passes + sacks + runs), and also kept track of the running game’s carries and yardage. We did this for three splits: 1st Half, 3rd Quarter, 4th Quarter (includes overtime). We also found the scoring margin at halftime and at the start of the fourth quarter. Then we did the same thing for Tebow’s six comeback wins. Kneel downs were excluded. Trick plays like a halfback pass were counted as a drop back. In the few instances where Elway was replaced (briefly) for Gary Kubiak, any of Kubiak’s drop backs were counted as a drop back.

During the Reeves’ era, in their 23 comeback wins, the Broncos put the ball in Elway’s hands in the first half, in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter/overtime at almost the same, high rate. This goes directly against the idea that Elway was bailing out a conservative Reeves, as they were relying on Elway a lot for the whole game, and not just the fourth quarter.

Ima say this again… JOHN ELWAY HAS THE GREATEST PR OF A NFL PLAYER I’VE EVER SEEN. The fact that we are in 2026 and we are having discussions about AARON RODGERS in conversation with John Elway… it’s a disgrace to the game of football I stg.
