Brandon Banks, a former Vanderbilt football player who says he was with Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston on the night he alleged sexually abused a female Uber driver, says Winston was alone with the driver and not riding with friends like it was previously claimed, according to ESPN’s Outside the Lines.

When the allegation against Winston was initially reported by BuzzFeed News, Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby said he was with Winston on that night, and said he and Winston sat in the backseat of an Uber while a third friend, now identified as Banks, was in the front seat. Winston also issued a similar statement that said, the driver was confused as to the number of passengers in the car and who was sitting next to her.

World Cup update: I thought it was hilarious to see a powerhouse like Germany fall behind 1-0 to Sweden, and look on Twitter, with like 60 minutes left, and see a bunch of tweets starting with If this holds. Two-thirds of the match left, defending champion down by 1, and it’s a potentially insurmountable deficit. You wouldn’t say that in a 7-0 football game in the second quarter ever, even if the ’85 Bears were the ones leading. (Note: Don’t get sensitive, that’s not an insult, it’s an observation.)

Those guys, they’re hit and miss. They’re just low-balling him, Engram said at the Hyundai Youth Football Camp, via Zach Braziller of the New York Post. I know for a fact he’s not paying attention to any of that. I’m not either. Eli looked really good all offseason. I went to Duke [for the annual Manning minicamp in April], he was slinging it around all camp. He was making a lot of throws that he’s been making for years.

We got some new additions on the [offensive] line. We’re going to give him some more time back there. Y’all [will] see. Eli is still Eli. It’s going to be a big year for us and a big year for him.

Manning has led the Giants to the playoffs only once the past six seasons, but former head coach Ben McAdoo is among those who expect New York to win the NFC East.

I’m glad he said it. It’s really realistic, Engram said, pointing to two losses to the Eagles last season by a combined eight points. As competitors, that’s the goal, to go out and win games and win as many as you can.

Now that he has become what Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff thought he could be, the Falcons are faced with a decision. Because he fell to the fifth round, Jarrett signed a four-year rookie deal worth $2.527 million back in 2015, which means he’ll cost less than $2 million against the Falcons’ cap this season. Atlanta clearly wants to hold on to Jarrett, but the Falcons also have to pay left tackle Jake Matthews. The team also needs to ink safety Ricardo Allen to an extension after he just signed his second-round tender, and running back Tevin Coleman is in the last year of his rookie deal, too. On top of all those pressing needs, wide receiver Julio Jones wants a new deal that pays him like the top wideout he is.

He says he’s always bet on himself on the field, and off the field, here’s why you should bet on him.

The Vikings finished as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, setting what was then the record for most points by a team in an NFL season, 55As they headed into an NFC title game matchup with the 14-2 Falcons, nearly everyone had cemented Super Bowl expectations that began to develop earlier in the week, or earlier in the season.

Cris Carter: If you talk to the players, I know the players will tell you we weren’t thinking about [it]—I had to think of where the Super Bowl even was.

Fred Zamberletti: I remember before the Atlanta game, our offensive line was looking through a Rolex catalogue. They already had the [playoff] money spent.

Robert Smith: Probably a few games after the Tampa Bay loss [in Week 9, the sole defeat of the season], when you’re sitting at 9-1, you’re probably going to start thinking it could really happen.

Robert Griffith: When we came back [after the Tampa Bay loss] and went 9-1, that’s when I knew we legitimately had a home-field advantage, a Super Bowl-caliber team that had all the bells and whistles in place.

Meanwhile, Seahawks All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner told Seattle’s KJR-AM Monday he doesn’t blame Thomas for holding out.

You’ve got to do what’s right for you, Wagner said (via the NewsTribune). Because at the end of the day, whenever you are done they don’t care about you. You’ve got to get what you’ve got to get while you can. Because as soon as you can’t play. … As soon as you can’t play and they don’t want you no more, it’s over. So you’ve got to make the best of your opportunity.

Bidwill was subjected to backlash on social media after he vocalized his support for President Donald Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court in an open letter on the team’s website, though Bidwill insisted it isn’t about politics and said he thinks Kavanaugh is just a great person.

The NFL announced a new national anthem policy in May, stating it will allow players to remain in the locker room while the anthem plays. However, teams will be fined if players and other personnel on the field do not stand and show respect for the flag and the anthem.

Could a trade be the ultimate outcome? DallasCowboys.com writer Bryan Broaddus, speaking on Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan, said the draft day trade rumor that had Thomas going to the Cowboys still is in play.

The Cowboys have to look at their situation at safety and figure out, is this going to be good enough? Are we able to compete for a division? To get in the playoffs? Could Earl Thomas be a guy, could he be a difference maker? Broaddus said (via the Dallas Morning-News). I feel like that the Earl Thomas situation still is in play. It’s just a matter of where Seattle is going to be.

I think that Seattle is going to have to figure out something. The Cowboys are going to have to figure out something. And maybe they do work something out there.

Thomas, 29, is in the final year of a four-year, $40 million deal, but wants a new contract. He noted on Twitter last month that I will not be attending the upcoming mini camp or any team activities until my contract situation is resolved.

Thanks to a restrictive salary cap and the litany of injuries that mar every season, the NFL is a bastion of parity. While a handful of teams have carved out their niche as annual contenders, the league’s ability to cultivate Cinderella worst-to-first stories every year makes the gridiron host to some of the most compelling stories in major sports.

In Carolina, that means Cam Newton will have to rely on a second-year leap from Christian McCaffrey and a big debut from first-round pick D.J. Moore to upgrade a middle-of-the-road offense. Atlanta will have its own big name rookie wideout to turn to — Calvin Ridley — and will have to hope its defense can carry on without the contributions of Dontari Poe and Adrian Clayborn up front.

The Saints will be a difficult Goliath to topple. The reigning offensive and defensive rookies of the year, Alvin Kamara and Marshon Lattimore, respectively, will flank established stars like Drew Brees and Cameron Jordan. After getting bounced out of the playoffs on the wrong end of a miracle, New Orleans will have a chip on its shoulder in its quest to repeat as NFC South champs.

That doesn’t mean it’ll be easy for the Saints to repeat, either. The strength of this division is the biggest reason it’s the one most likely to see a new champion.

And never forget: The Cavs won a title, and gave Cleveland one of the seminal moments in recent sports history. They might have repeated had that same cap spike not allowed the Warriors to add Durant. Last year’s Cavaliers, when fully engaged, were a championship-level team with an all-time great offense. Greatness comes at a cost.

The Irving and Bennett moves are exceptions. It still matters. The consequences of getting literally zero from the single most valuable asset in the sport ripple over years.

That pick could have been another bust. That draft was full of them. It could have been Otto Porter Jr. or Victor Oladipo.

Hit that pick, or even get 75 percent of the expected value of it, and it would at least be something today — the player selected, or some trade return netted in exchange for that player.

It’ll be interesting to see if more teams follow their lead.

The Ravens are being punished, AGAIN, for failing to follow the CBA’s rules regarding offseason practices. You’d think John Harbaugh would know the rules by now …

Reuben Foster’s legal issues are now resolved. But the NFL could still suspend the 49ers linebacker. Foster has been taking first team reps during OTAs.

Epstein and Else were part of a coalition created to address a mounting domestic violence problem in the league. The group was convened following former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice’s 2014 arrest for assaulting his then-fiancee (now wife) Janay Rice in an Atlantic City elevator. According to Epstein, the NFLPA has been slow to implement any of the group’s recommendations, fueling frustration and leading to two high-profile departures this week.

In her op-ed, Epstein pointed to the league’s continued signing of players facing allegations of physical violence or sexual assault against women as evidence of an unchanging culture. She singled out the Bengals 2017 drafting of Joe Mixon nearly three years after punching a woman and the Browns drafting of Antonio Callaway, who had faced accusations of sexual assault at Florida, in 2018 as indicators of the league’s unwillingness to embrace actual reform.

Toomer also remembers the 2004 season, quarterback Eli Manning’s rookie season, and how I was in my ninth year and I was disappointed we were starting over with a rookie — it was not ideal. Toomer said that Owens approached him on the field after a game that season and told him he knew he was frustrated, to hang in there. Toomer said it surprised him that Owens was so aware and that considerate. It was another side of Owens people don’t see, he said.

Dawkins, a former Owens teammate, said there is an Owens persona he wishes the world could see at the Hall of Fame ceremonies.

I concentrate on the T.O. I know and his heart, that’s the thing, Dawkins said. The one I see is when he is around my family and kids. A loving man. That is the individual I want people to see and am praying they will see.

Owens is peeved he had to wait three classes to enter the hall.

He is upset the writers who held his induction hostage rubbed his nose in the wait. A cancer to coaches, teammates and franchises, they labeled him, ignoring his sterling NFL production.

But that should not keep Owens away from the ceremonies, longtime NFL defensive expert Dom Capers said.

Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins was in Florida when authorities found a dead body in his New Jersey home, and his brother was subsequently charged with aggravated manslaughter.

And while it wasn’t much, Jenkins did put out a brief statement on social media Thursday regarding the death of Roosevelt Rene.

Arledge: Lehner is the most intriguing option for me — if and only if Capitals goalie coach Mitch Korn does follow Trotz to the Islanders as has been rumored. There’s no question Lehner has talent, but he needs the right coach and team to reach his potential. Korn could certainly be the guy to get him there. The Islanders just need a filler as they wait for Sorokin and Soderstrom to come into the fold, so why not take a shot with the big Swede?

Wyshynski: While they might not want to hand out the term he’s looking for, I’d love to see The Real Deal James Neal reunited with the team that tossed him into the expansion draft pool, the Nashville Predators. They could use a 20- to 25-goal scorer on right wing, with a little playoff truculence. Plus, it’d be nice to see both player and team finish what they started.

Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, a member of the NFLPA’s executive committee, is ready for that.

Alexander spoke to SiriusXM NFL Radio on Thursday, agreeing with Chargers offensive tackle Russell Okung that the NFLPA does need to make guaranteed contracts a priority when it negotiates a new collective bargaining agreement. (The current one expires after the 2020 season.)

I think we’ve always tried to make those strides and gains, and tried to get as much money in guys’ pockets as possible, Alexander said on the SiriusXM Blitz Thursday. I mean, obviously, when you are negotiating with an opposing side that’s also fighting for those dollars and that power and control, they want something totally different. So, obviously, we are with Russ and what he’s saying and the tone of the tweets that he was putting out [Wednesday].

As players, of course, you want some guarantees and some type of certainty when you sign a deal. They have it, from their perspective, as the ownership, but players would also like to add that same type of comfort level, knowing that I’m going to make x-amount of dollars over the next two or three years, even if that means that our deals are [shorter].

Loaisiga is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his first three starts.

Two of those starts were scoreless outings as he threw a combined 10 1/ 3 scoreless innings, allowed four hits and fanned 14 in wins over Tampa Bay on June 15 and at Philadelphia last Monday. His other start was June 20 when he allowed three runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings of a 7-5 win over the Seattle Mariners decided on a walk-off homer by Stanton.

No matter where LeBron James chooses to take his talents next season, the 2018-19 NBA title odds will be greatly affected.

The first transaction for the new-look Detroit front office led by senior adviser Ed Stefanski looks like a good one. In a market short on 3-and-D role players who can defend small forwards, Robinson figured to be highly coveted. So for the Pistons to get him without using the entirety of their taxpayer midlevel exception is a win — particularly so with a team option for 2019-20.

After dealing Avery Bradley and Tobias Harris to the Clippers in the Blake Griffin deal, the Pistons were short on wings. They filled that hole temporarily at the deadline by acquiring James Ennis from the Memphis Grizzlies. Ennis is now an unrestricted free agent, and I’d prefer to have Robinson of the two players. Robinson is more than three years younger, a superior 3-point shooter (38 percent career to Ennis’ 36 percent) and better equipped to defend power wings because of his strength.

This is still an excellent payday for Robinson, who played the previous four seasons at the minimum for his experience level. Robinson should have the opportunity compete for a starting spot on the wing with incumbents Reggie Bullock and Stanley Johnson.
