One year ago today, Alex Smith suffered a gruesome knee injury.
His wife Liz posted this video on Instagram giving us a small glimpse of what Alex has gone through over the last year.

Very classy move by Josh Allen, who made sure to say this before his press conference ended today: "People should not be attacking Tee Higgins whatsoever. Hopefully he found some relief today. I hope he doesn't hold that upon himself."
Well done. 👏
Very classy move by Deion Sanders, who made sure to say this during his press conference today:
"Henry Blackburn is a good player who played a phenomenal game... This is a still young man trying to make it in life ... He does not deserve a death threat over a game."
"I forgive…
Devonta Smith put on a ski mask, kicked open the door, and pretended to steal out of the Salvation Army bucket after scoring his second TD of the game.
Mama Kelce finding Travis and Jason after the game is so great.
She knew one will be on the losing end. But the moment with Jason was still very emotional. This got me...

Doctors say Damar Hamlin “set off every alarm in the ICU” after Nyheim Hines returned the opening kickoff for a TD on Sunday. Hamlin got out of his chair and was jumping up and down.
Just flat-out awesome.
Michael Strahan made sure to say this when talking on FOX about Damar Hamlin: “There were things done here, by somebody at this network, that were inhumane. Sensible human beings have a heart..."
Joe Burrow says Evan McPherson came up and said "looks like we're going to the AFC Championship Game" right before he went out to kick the 52-yard game-winner.
Talk about having confidence.
One of the most amazing kick returns in NFL history happened on this day 12 years ago: Offensive lineman Dan Connolly rumbles for 71 yards on Sunday Night Football.
Stefon Diggs just arrived at UC Medicial Center. A cop wasn't going to let him in. Diggs said "I need to be there for my teammate." He was then let him in, per

This is awesome:

captured the moment when Van Jefferson found out his wife was in labor.
PR staffer: “Van, Van! Your wife is giving birth right now.”
What a moment.
JJ Watt got a text and voice memo from rookie Jesse Luketa after he announced his retirement this week. Watt didn't have Luketa's number saved.
What happened after is hilarious. Watch till the end. 😂😂

Larry Fitzgerald was answering questions after today’s win when a reporters phone started to ring.
Fitzgerald: “Can we get some professionalism here, please?”
The reporter was his dad.

ESPN showed the overhead camera angle before the 2-point conversion and it sure looks like Taylor Decker went over to the refs.
I don't know what else he's telling them....
The XFL is wild. San Antonio was up 15-3 with 1:30 left. They lost 18-15. How?
TD makes it 15-9
A 3-point (!) conversion (from the 10) makes it 15-12.
Convert a 4th & 15 instead of an onside kick to get the ball back
Another TD makes it 18-15
Madness.
If you love football... just watch.
Ed Reed purposely played a certain coverage wrong multiple times early in the year because he knew Peyton would watch it on tape.
Belichick: "Best play I've ever seen a free safety make."

surprised JJ Watt before his final game with a video of his family and players from around the NFL congratulating him on a Hall of Fame career.
Watt couldn't keep it together. Get some tissues for this one.

This is awesome: NBC Sports is planning an NFL RedZone-style whiparound show for the Paris Olympics, which will guide viewers to the best and most exciting live moments during the Summer Games.
It will be called the "Gold Zone"
The host to open each day ... Scott Hanson. 🐐
Patrick and Brittany Mahomes took some time to visit children who were struck by gunshots during the

Josh went over, and the reaction is awesome.

This is huge: Shannon Sharpe called Julio Jones live on
@undisputed
: Julio said he's "out of there" when asked if he wants to stay in Atlanta. He also said he doesn't want to go to the Cowboys. "I want to win."
Holy cow. I don't think he knew he was live.
2 years ago today: Clay Matthews thought he knew what the
#Panthers
were calling. Cam Newton had other ideas.
Clay: It's that wheel route, it's that wheel route
Cam: You been watching film, huh? That's cool, watch this.
Cam: Texas route to CMC for a TD
A reminder with postseason football starting: If a game goes to overtime, both teams are now guaranteed to get possession of the ball, even if the team with the ball first scores a TD.
NFL owners approved of that change this past offseason.
I love this: Practice squad players usually are not on the sideline for games.
#Raiders
HC Antonio Pierce changed that and made sure they were for his first game as head coach.
His explanation tells you all you need to know about why the players are all in for him.
This is a…
Dan Campbell was distracted by

fans doing the wave that he couldn’t hear OC Ben Johnson calling a pass to Penei Sewell on 3rd-and-7.

Steve Smith Sr. just DESTROYED Jerry Jeudy on NFL Network.
Says if any NFL team calls him about trading for him, he'll tell them not to do it.

offseason so far:
- Signed S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson
- Signed RB David Montgomery
- Signed CB Cameron Sutton
- Signed CB Emmanuel Moseley
- Signed G Graham Glasgow
- Own picks 6, 18, 48 and 55 in the Draft.
Detroit is loading up.
Taron Johnson, who had the 101-yard pick-6, is the same guy who looked the wrong way at the combine a couple years ago and got hit on the head. Tonight, he made the play of the game to send Buffalo to the AFC Championship Game.

CB James Bradberry said in the locker room that he held JuJu Smith-Schuster:
“It was a holding. I tugged his jersey. I was hoping they would let it slide."
This is great: After a late night celebrating, Sean McVay had to do an early-morning press conference, but was told he'll just have to answer a few questions.
He ended up answering 10+ questions. This was his reaction once the press conference ended. 😂😂
Josh Gordon had 6 receptions, 118 yards and 2 TDs tonight in a win for the XFL's Seattle Sea Dragons.
This 65-yard TD on 4th-down to take the lead was awesome.
Really cool moment between DK Metcalf and Logan Thomas after their game on Sunday...
DK didn't even think twice about it.... "Give this to him."

Aaron Rodgers fires back at Hub Arkush, who said yesterday he won't vote Rodgers for MVP: I think he’s a bum. An absolute bum. ... His problem is I’m not vaccinated.... Maybe just for this season make it the Most Vaccinated Player."
DeMarcus Ware saved three seats at his Hall of Fame induction speech for his former teammates Demaryius Thomas, Ronnie Hillman and Marion Barber, all of whom passed away far too young.
An incredibly heartfelt moment. 🙏
This is AWESOME: Ref randomly says "Hey, hey, hey” before announcing the penalty.
All the Titans fans in the stadium answer back: "HEYYYYY!"
I love this 😂
Before firing Josh McDaniels, the Raiders had a team meeting where players directed their frustrations at McDaniels, and unloaded on him.
McDaniels had Antonio Pierce speak on his behalf, and Pierce brought up the Giants' '07 team that beat the undefeated Patriots, explaining…

opened up today’s game with 10 players, no X receiver, which was Demaryius Thomas’ position.
Delay of game was called, Lions declined the penalty.
Aaron Rodgers: "The right is gonna champion me and the left is gonna cancel me. I don't give a sh*t about either of them. Politics is a total sham. I'm not going on Fox News just like I'm not going to go on CNN."
