Colin Kaepernick and his former teammate, Eric Reid, have reached a settlement in their suit against the NFL.

While Super Bowl LIII may have been a disappointment for some (bored viewers, Rams fans, Saints fans), the big game still set a new streaming record.
Sunday’s game, which saw the New England Patriots defeat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever, delivered an average 2.6 million viewers per minute to CBS’s official streaming broadcast. Streaming of the game was up 31 percent compared to last year’s numbers, when NBC’s broadcast of the game saw a then-record breaking average of 2 million viewers.
CBS also boasted in its release on the record breaking numbers that the Super Bowl was watched across 7.5 million unique devices, which is up 20 percent from the 2018 game. More than 560 million total minutes of the game were consumed via streaming, up 19 percent from last year’s game. Read more…

Usain Bolt really just did that.
The retired Olympian tied the NFL’s record for the fastest 40-yard dash, clocking in at 4.22 seconds, and he wasn’t even wearing specialized running spikes. He did it in literal sweatpants and casual sneakers.
People were not surprised at all that the nine time gold medalist is … fast.
Crazy stuff… the fastest guy in the world is the fastest guy in the world.
