| | rantnrave:// The NFL season starts tonight. Anyone talking about PATRIOTS-CHIEFS? That will probably change once the game begins but for now COLIN KAEPERNICK and COWBOYS running back EZEKIEL ELLIOTT have the headlines. Each serves as a referendum on the league. A federal judge will decide whether to uphold Elliott's six-game suspension for alleged domestic violence. Even if he does, there's already a perception commissioner ROGER GOODELL screwed it up. At least that's a mess the NFL is familiar with. Because whether it wants to or not, the NFL has become a political football (ugh). Kaepernick's unemployment is still a major talking point and picking up steam daily with each ALL-PRO who says he should have a job. That won't end soon. MICHAEL BENNETT will make sure of it. The Seahawks defensive end is not only Kaepernick's heir apparent, he's a bonafide star who can't be ignored. He's too loud. Too good. An activist in a football uniform. Bennett isn't standing for the anthem this season, and he's taking his message off the field, too. Wednesday, he alleged he was held at gunpoint by a LAS VEGAS cop who mistook him for a gunman they were looking for. He might sue the police department. This isn't something the NFL wants to be a part of. It's a law-and-order-friendly league. Bennett won't back down. He has a message. What if it clashes with the NFL's? SportsSET: "The Social Justice Activist Who Sacks QBs on Sundays"... ISAIAH THOMAS' goodbye letter to CELTICS fans is a wonderful example of the relationship fans and a player can build. Thomas' letter is raw, he's emphatic and it's clear he's not BSing anyone. He came to BOSTON a little-known NBA guard and is leaving an ALL-STAR. He'll miss the city and it'll miss him... Who could've predicted the semifinal quartet in the US OPEN women's draw? VENUS WILLIAMS, COCO VANDEWEGHE, MADISON KEYS, and SLOANE STEPHENS. All Americans. First time since 1981. No American women other than Venus or SERENA has won the tournament since 1998. Venus is the sentimental favorite this year. Might the others be the successors to the Williams sisters for US tennis? Will this be a one-tournament thing or is the future of US tennis coming out of the shadows?... Why your team can make the SUPER BOWL. Even the JETS (but definitely not the Jets)... Who are you gonna believe: the NFL and NFLPA or GISELE BÜNDCHEN?... Not the plot to SIGNS... Still can't get pizza delivered in a half hour but you can get custom NIKEs in less than 90 minutes. | | | - Mike Vorkunov, curator |

| Imagine wonder drugs that improve (and sometimes save) the lives of not only football players, but also of military veterans, crash victims, stroke victims, opioid addicts and perhaps even those with Alzheimer's disease. It sounds like science fiction. Or a Roger Goodell daydream. But the race to find just such treatments is already underway, and significant progress has already been made. | | |
