A warrant is out for NFL pass rusher Aldon Smith’s arrest on a second-degree battery charge in the New Orleans suburb of St. Bernard.
St. Bernard sheriff deputies responded to a call for medical assistance around 7:30 p.m. Saturday night, the sheriff’s office confirmed in a statement. A male victim said he was “assaulted by an acquaintance of his earlier while outside a business.” Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Bureau identified Smith as a suspect in their investigation and issued an arrest warrant, sheriff James Pohlmann said.
Smith’s agent, Ron Slavin, declined comment when reached Monday by USA TODAY Sports.

Some would suggest Carolina is, too.

The absence of the Bears could mean something about their approach in Round 1 or Round 2 of the draft.

Washington's offensive line played better with improved coaching last year, but could still use more talent at several spots. The wide receiver room got much better by adding Curtis Samuel, but could also use an additional option. Ryan Fitzpatrick obviously isn't the long-term answer at quarterback and a safety to play next to Landon Collins also remains critical.

Older Australians are rushing into buying Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to grab a slice of stunning financial returns, but are being urged to tread carefully.
Cryptocurrencies are not just attractive to tech-savvy Millennials and younger generations. New data from Australia's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Coinspot, shows almost one in three of its customers are now aged over 40.
Crypto craziness continued last week with fresh record highs and US platform Coinbase making its stock exchange debut valued at $110 billion amid wild share price swings.
In Australia, Coinspot now has one million customers and its co-founder and CEO, Russell Wilson, says it has noticed a 350 per cent jump in users aged over 40 in the past year, with some aged in their 70s.

Biden and Obama urge Americans to get vaccinated in star-studded television special
President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama joined a slate of celebrities Sunday evening in urging Americans to get vaccinated during an hour-long NBC special aimed at boosting confidence in the shots and raising awareness about eligibility.
The event, titled “Roll Up Your Sleeves” and hosted by singer Ciara and her NFL quarterback husband, Russell Wilson, saw Biden pitch vaccinations as “the most important thing you can do to protect yourself from Covid-19, including the new variants we’re seeing.”
“If you’ve been fully vaccinated, thank you,” the President said. “If you’re planning to get vaccinated, make sure you follow through. Please.”

Russell Wilson’s son is growing up in front of our very eyes.
Ciara shared an Instagram video with her fans of her 9-month-old son, Win Wilson, clapping his hands along to the children’s song “If You’re Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands.” As Ciara sang the song to her son, Win just smiled and clapped, then eventually scooted down to his hands and knees to rock back and forth to the song.

In the second half of the video, Russell joins his wife and his son outside. This time, the husband and wife join forces and sing the song together, prompting Win this time to clap throughout the entire song. It seems that’s what Ciara was trying to get him to do before, because after finishing his last clap this second round she said, “Yay.”

The pop star appeared on the network's 'Roll Up Your Sleeves' TV special.

When it comes to their track record in the draft, the Ravens' reputation precedes them.
That's why it wasn't much of a surprise when The New York Post's Brian Costello ranked Baltimore as the best drafting team over the last five years.
"The Ravens repeat as our top drafting team," Costello wrote. "[Lamar] Jackson, an MVP, is their top pick, but they have nailed many picks in recent years, from Ronnie Stanley to Marlon Humphrey and Orlando Brown."
Costello examined every team's draft classes from 2016-2020 based on factors that included games played, Pro Bowl appearances, first-team All-Pro selections, MVPs and other seasonal awards. He also considered the team's overall success during that span.

Passing, theyfinished 27th in yards and 27th in touchdowns
Overall, they ranked 29th in offensive drives ending in a score and 30th in yards per play
The 2 most popular options for addressing this deficiency is to either:
Draft WR Ja'marr Chase with the 5th overall pick
Draft OL Penei Sewell with the 5th overall pick
In deciding which option will help the Bengals win more games, consider the following:

What do Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, Tua Tagovailoa, Jameis Winston, and Cam Newton all have in common?
Not much.
statistics, Cousins would blow these three men out of the water.
Instead,
it is MVP odds for 2021 — all four men are slated as 66/1 chances to win the 2021 NFL MVP award by
BetMGM. Patrick Mahomes leads the field (6/1), followed by Aaron Rodgers (8/1) and Josh Allen (12/1) to win the league’s most prestigious individual award. The only non-quarterbacks with reasonable MVP odds at this juncture are Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry, who have around 33/1 odds depending on the sportsbook.

Is Mac Jones actually underrated in the 2021 NFL draft? What the numbers tell us, and is he worth a top-five pick?

Would Mac Jones be the Week 1 starter if picked by 49ers? (1:15)
Todd McShay breaks down the potential fit of quarterback Mac Jones with the 49ers. (1:15)
There's a chasm between Mac Jones' stellar college numbers and the lukewarm forecast that qualitative evaluators give for his future in the NFL. And it forces a question that quarterback-needy teams have to answer: Which will best predict his pro career?
Statistically, Jones is one of the greatest college quarterbacks of his generation. At Alabama in 2020, he recorded the single-highest QBR season in the metric's history, dating back to 2004. He sits atop a leaderboard of best seasons littered with top draft picks and elite NFL QBs; Kyler Murray, Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck trail Jones. Clemson's Trevor Lawrence, the consensus top-ranked quarterback in the 2021 NFL draft, never finished above fifth in QBR in a single season. Again, Jones' 2020 ranked No. 1 among

Sports Illustrated has just dropped a new mock draft for the 2021 NFL Draft. What is unique with this mock draft is that each publisher from the Sports Illustrated sites covering the NFL each had their say.
However, the one rule is that there could be no trades in order to move up or down the order. As such, the Houston Texans do not have a pick in this particular mock draft, but it could be a good reference for what conference and divisional rivals could do in order to bolster their rosters.
Besides ... as you'll see below, we still make a "first pick'' for Houston. Dig in! 

Tristan Stevens pitches another gem in gritty 3-1 win for No. 3 Texas over Abilene Christian

Texas baseball
On an unseasonably cool day in Austin with the wind blowing in and gusting up to 20 miles an hour, some well-hit balls for the No. 3 Texas Longhorns were kept in the park, including three by third baseman Cam Williams, but the offense came through late with enough runs to win as right-hander Tristan Stevens pitched extraordinarily well in the 3-1 victory over the Abilene Christian Wildcats on Saturday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
The 12th straight win for the Longhorns was much more difficult than the 18-0 stomping put on the Wildcats on Friday, but Texas head coach David Pierce expected that coming into the game.
