DirecTV is offering refunds to some NFL Sunday Ticket customers who bought the package and complained after seeing athletes take a knee during the national anthem.

Santana Moss and Robert Griffin III had a good connection during their time together with the Redskins but apparently that's no longer the case. Moss said during his weekly radio appearance on FM-106.7 in Washington that Griffin relished the fact that coach Mike Shanahan and offensive coordinator were fired, and that RG3 even took credit for the decision.

So I'll just say WTF took you so long? I remember a young man named Ray Rice openly admitting to the NFL that he and his wife were involved in a physical altercation in which he knocked her out.

Former Alabama State running back Isaiah Crowell came up big in the Browns 25-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. On the same day that the Browns unveiled a statue of the legendary Jim Brown, Isaiah Crowell did something not even Brown had done by breaking loose for an 85-yard touchdown run. It came in the first quarter when Crowell took a handoff up the middle and went untouched for the second-longest TD run in Cleveland history. It was the second-longest rushing play in Browns

Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa says he questions the sincerity of the national anthem protests of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The current Arizona Diamondbacks executive tells ESPN Radio that he was in the Bay Area when Kaepernick first became a star and saw him do nothing but promote himself.
