Everyone is sad that the NFL season is done because there are no games to watch and no fantasy football contests or games to win until September of 2021. The good news is that it does not take long for the league to create intrigue about the 2021 season. Free agency begins on March 17, which is just a month after the Super Bowl. The NFL does a great job of breaking up the offseason calendar to keep the league in the headlines and keep fans engaged about changes that are happening to the rosters. It creates a lot of excitement that builds until we are back to live games.
The Sins of Rick Spielman, Part 2: Building the Minnesota Losing Company
There isn t a worse kept secret in the world of Minnesota sports: The Vikings offensive line is bad, and has been for some time. Judging offensive line play is more difficult than other players and units due to a complete lack of usable statistics, but the eye test tells us the last time the Vikings had a good offensive line was way back in Adrian Peterson s remarkable 2012 season.

Detroit Pistons star player Blake Griffin recently purchased a mansion in Brentwood, Los Angeles, for a whopping $5.9 million. The lavish 5,893 square foot home was built in 1936 and comes with five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
Griffin got lucky with this property as the two-story house was initially listed in May for $6.698 million with Jordana Leigh of Rodeo Realty. It was then on the market for a reduced price of $5.995 million and finally brought by the basketball star, listing records show. The gorgeous house is built in the traditional/quasi-colonial style and includes a formal living and dining rooms, a media room, a kitchen, and a family room with a fireplace and large windows, according to the listing. For entertainment facilities, the house comes equipped with a pool with spa, a gym, a billiards room and a wine cellar.
