I do not have the energy or inclination to address the Baylor situation, or lack of a situation. I always had an inclination that this might happen because I can’t really worry about everything and can’t control everything. Plus, Baylor just isn’t worth the mental attention at this point. I’d add that my only concern has been the women who were victims.

One of the big-money donors, Cody Cambpell, who is currently on the Board of Regents for Texas Tech and also the guy that wanted to hire Dana Holgorsen, is now sponsoring the entire offensive line, which is absolutely fantastic. I hope this leads to future 4-stars, but my realistic expectation is that this will lead to more late night Whataburger runs with teammates and maybe a nice date night for those with significant others.

Coming to a comedy club near you, Tony Bradford, Jr. and Jaylon Hutchings. Am pretty sure that Hutchings arms are bigger than both of my legs combined.

Find a straw. Look at it. Really examine it. Now ask yourself, does this straw have one hole or two?@TBradford97 & @HutchingsJaylon debate pic.twitter.com/kU02pdBUAH

The Ringer’s Kevin Clark talked with Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes who watched what happened to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl loss to Tampa Bay and what he could learn from it.

One interesting part of Mahomes’s constant education process is his close study of other quarterbacks. (He mentioned this habit to the NFL Network’s Kurt Warner earlier in camp.) When we chatted, I wanted to get as nerdy as possible with Mahomes and figure out exactly what he’s watching—and borrowing—from the league’s other quarterbacks. I was not disappointed. One thing that impresses me about Mahomes is his willingness to borrow from anything. He once told me that his warmup routine is borrowed from baseball. Mahomes told me this week he watches a combination of All-22 and other types of film to study. In other eras, such game film would be harder to access whenever you want it. “The best thing about today is that you can find all the different sources that you need and then I talk to those guys,” he said.

I went through the list. Aaron Rodgers? “I think the biggest thing with Aaron is you see how he’s evolved throughout his game. It’s kind of like what I’m talking about, where he used to scramble a lot more, make all the different throws, and now he can just completely dice you up through the pocket,” Mahomes said. “And then when those opportunities come and he starts scrambling, he makes the throws, and he can still do all that stuff. So I really watch that.”

And Tom Brady? “Brady, same thing. I mean, dicing them up within the pocket. But the way he’s able to move within the pocket and find those lanes and still make those big-time throws downfield is something that I think I need to get better at and something that I need to continue to grow with,” Mahomes said. “And so that’s definitely one thing I take from him.”
