My message to Gordon and other NFL players: Don’t buy a word of that ill-informed opinion. The reality is Bell lost $14.5 million in salary that he would have received had he played under his franchise tender. He lost a full season of earnings in a career that, for a running back, usually ends around age 30.

UFC 274 was originally planned to take place in Brazil but has been moved. The new location has not been announced.

But he wasn’t the only one. Na’s caddie, Kenny Harms, had another reason for celebrating Na’s third PGA Tour victory. The winner of the event, held at the Colonial Golf Course in Fort Worth, Texas, was promised a 1973 Dodge Challenger.
