NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! PHOENIX – Robert Kraft, the visionary who bought the flailing New England Patriots in the 1990s and turned them into an NFL dynasty, was imagining the NFL’s future when he spoke with reporters on Monday.Kraft, who definitely gets it, would like to see a future NFL that plays 18 regular-season games, plays only two preseason games, includes two bye weeks and, oh yeah, has every single team playing one of its games internationally.So there it is … the NFL’s dream scenario for the 2030s. Robert Kraft Envisions NFL Change”I like it long term for the growth and development of the league because, to keep our league healthy and grow revenue, I think preseason games have not been what it used to be when we owned the team,” Kraft told New England area reporters during a break in the NFL annual meeting. “And changing to 18 games and having that real content and being mindful of player safety, I’d personally like to see us have a second bye week.”But then, it would allow us to also grow the game internationally. Every team in the league would play a game overseas … I think…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Deshaun Watson’s tenure with the Cleveland Browns has been one to forget.The Browns acquired Watson from the Houston Texans before the 2022 season and signed him to a five-year, $230 million deal, marking the richest deal for a quarterback at the time. But his lack of availability due to injuries and his play on the field have forced the organization to restructure his deal. He’s only played 19 games for the Browns over his first four seasons, while Cleveland has trotted out multiple quarterbacks, including Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders and others to try to find a temporary fix to a long-term problem.Still, Browns co-owner Jimmy Haslam has an optimistic outlook for Watson.”Deshaun has a great chance, fresh start, offensive-minded coach, who has in his past been able to work with all kinds of different quarterbacks and make them successful,” he told reporters at the NFL annual meeting on Monday, via ESPN.

DODGERS FACE DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT OVER HIRING AND EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES”But this year, it’s totally fallen apart,” DeVito said.HRC says the drop in submissions does not necessarily mean companies are abandoning workplace inclusion policies altogether.”Instead, the decline in submissions reflects a shift in how employers are approaching transparency in the current environment,” the report says. HRC also said policy implementation among companies that did participate was “sustained or increased” across the criteria measured from 2025 to 2026.The report says 534 companies earned a perfect score for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion policies in…

If you’re a relatively new shooter, you’ve probably never thought about it because, for about the past decade, drop-in, do-it-yourself trigger fixes for guns have been commonplace.But it hasn’t always been that way, and Timney Triggers is a big reason why you have so many aftermarket trigger options, to include some for handguns like the Ruger RXM.Timney has been around since 1946. For a long, long time they existed on customers who were sporterizing military Mauser rifles. This was a very common practice right after World War II. Many veterans brought Mauser rifles home with them, so Timney made their name by offering aftermarket triggers for those Mausers and for Enfield and Springfield rifles.
