Hall of Fame Running Back Floyd Little Diagnosed With Cancer Hall of Fame running back Floyd Little has cancer. His former teammate, Pat Killorin, made the announcement Saturday. Killorin is organizing a fundraiser on Go Fund Me with the blessing of the Little family as Floyd tries to fight the treatable but aggressive form of cancer.  Now, the 77-year-old little was part of a legendary trinity of running backs who wore number 44 at Syracuse and is one of the most revered and celebrated sports figures in Syracuse history. A bronze statue of little stands outside the football team's practice facility alongside the two legendary running backs who preceded him, Jim Brown and Ernie Davis.  Now, after his illustrious college career. Little was drafted No. 6 overall by the Denver Broncos in 1967. He played nine seasons with the team earning Pro Bowl honors five times and the nickname "The Franchise." Little was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1993 and t...

As the sports world continues to react to the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, commissioner Roger Goodell issued a statement on behalf of the NFL. As the sports world continues to react to the deaths of George Floyd , Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell issued a statement  Saturday on behalf of the league. "The NFL family is greatly saddened by the tragic events across our country. The protesters' reactions to these incidents reflect the pain, anger and frustration that so many of us feel," Goodell said. "Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Mr. George Floyd and to those who have lost loved ones, including the families of Ms. Breonna Taylor in Louisville, and Mr. Ahmaud Arbery, the cousin of Tracy Walker of the Detroit Lions. "As current events dramatically underscore, there remains much more to do as a country and as a league. These tragedies inform the NFL's commitment and our ongoing eff...

Coaching Staff Adam Gase led the New York Jets to their ninth straight season without a playoff berth . New York finished with a 7-9 in 2019, which was their highest win total since 2015 (10-6). Gase has a 30-34 record in his four years as a head coach for the Dolphins and the Jets with one playoff appearance. He has 15 seasons of NFL experience, with all of his coaching coming on the offensive side of the ball. Dowell Loggains returns as the offensive coordinator, which is the same position he held over the previous four seasons in Chicago, Miami, and New York. Last year the Jets fell to 32nd in the NFL in offensive yards, which was their third straight season of decline (26th in 2016, 28th in 2017, and 29th in 2018). New York scored only 276 points (31st), which was 57 fewer than the previous season. Loggains won’t survive another season if the Jets don’t improve by a wide margin in 2020. The Jets brought in Gregg Williams to run the defense after spending 2018 as the Browns def...

Former NFL executive Joe Lockhart addressed how the NFL and team owners handled Colin Kaepernick kneeling to protest police brutality. Colin Kaepernick hasn't played in the NFL for three years, and one former NFL executive has addressed how the former 49ers quarterback's decision to kneel to protest police brutality impacted his football career. In a column for CNN , Joe Lockhart, the former NFL vice president of communications from 2016-18, discussed how Kaepernick's silent protests shook team owners and started a social justice conversation around the league. However, Lockhart also admitted what no one at the NFL has ever explicitly stated about the situation: "No teams wanted to sign a player—even one as talented as Kaepernick—whom they saw as controversial, and, therefore, bad for business." Kaepernick's protests have returned to the national spotlight after George Floyd, a black man, died Monday evening while being violently apprehended by Minneapoli...

Free-agent quarterback Cam Newton may reportedly wait to sign until teams are able to resume regular activities. Free-agent quarterback Cam Newton is expected to "take his time" before he signs with a new team, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler .  As the market has cooled in free agency over the past month, Newton may reportedly wait to make a decision on his next step. The former MVP may hold on signing until teams are able to resume regular activities amid the coronavirus pandemic, allowing suitors to assess his physical status and meet in-person, per Fowler .  Newton entered the free-agent market in March when he was released from the Carolina Panthers . He spent nine seasons with the team after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in 2011 and went on to become the second African-American quarterback to win MVP in NFL history, following Steve McNair, for the 2015 season. According to ESPN , league sources are still unsure if Newton is open to taking a back...

"We are so heartbroken. We are devastated. We are speechless." Patriots safety Devin McCourty and his wife Michelle shared the heartbreaking news Saturday that her pregnancy with their third child, Mia, resulted in a stillbirth. Both Devin and Michelle McCourty posted her note on Instagram about their devastating Memorial Day weekend. "My pregnancy had resulted in a stillbirth at almost 8 months of being pregnant—at exactly 31 weeks 2 days, when we found out that the baby girl growing inside me no longer had a heartbeat after being completely fine the week prior at my last doctor’s appointment. We are so heartbroken. We are devastated. We are speechless. We are angry. We are sad. We are confused. We are numb," Michelle McCourty wrote. "I can't explain my thoughts in the moment. My faith has always been strong, but it definitely wavered. I was so angry. So sad. I had to call on my most faith-filled friends and support systems to help me deal with this r...

Denver Broncos and Syracuse legend Floyd Little has been diagnosed with a "treatable but aggressive form" of cancer. Hall of Fame running back and Denver Broncos legend Floyd Little has been diagnosed with cancer, former Syracuse teammate Pat Killorin said .  According to Syracuse.com , Little is fighting a "treatable but aggressive form" of cancer. The Hall of Famer, 77, currently lives in Las Vegas with his wife, DeBorah.  “No doubt it will be the toughest fight of his life," Killorin wrote . "Although he has lived a full life admired and enjoyed by many, Floyd doesn’t believe he has yet written, with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the final play of his life.” Little first made his mark on the football world at Syracuse University from 1964-66, where he was one of the program's legendary "44's." One of the most celebrated sports figures in Syracuse history, Little was a three-time All-American and finished his college career wit...

2019 couldn't have gone much worse for New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell. That's why SI Fantasy expert Jaime Eisner sees value where everyone else sees decline. It's never too early to start your fantasy football research, and we here at SI Fantasy want to provide you with the best information possible heading into your drafts. Our "Draft or Pass" video series takes a closer look at a fantasy player that will be debated often leading up to fantasy drafts. Are our hosts targeting this player specifically? Are they avoiding him entirely? Today's video focuses on New York Jets running back Le' Veon Bell. Draft or Pass at current ADP: 35.3 (RB17)? The mighty have fallen after missing the entire 2018 season due to a contract dispute; then, Bell moved from the high-powered Pittsburgh Steelers offense to an Adam Gase-led offense in New York. However, the hate may be going a little too far on Bell, providing some upside opportunity. Unless he decid...

With the Addition of Breshad Perriman, Can Sam Darnold Finally Boost Jets Aerial Attack? Jets quarterback Sam Darnold missed three games in 2019 after contracting mono and thus his stats are near the bottom of the league for starting passers. He was 25th in yards with 3,024 and his 19 passing touchdowns ranked 24th among other starting quarterbacks. But with a healthy Darnold for 2020, there’s some hope for the third year passer along with his playmakers in the passing attack. Veteran wide receiver Jamison Crowder will likely once again lead the team in targets while rookie Denzel Mims and tight end Chris Herndon could be value picks in fantasy football drafts. Sports Illustrated’s fantasy football analyst Shawn Childs and JetsCountry’s editor Kristian Dyer discuss the Jets passing game playmakers and highlight which members from Gang Green should be drafted in fantasy football.  Read the transcript from their conversation: Bill Enright: We are on to the next team for our fan...

Michael Thomas or DeAndre Hopkins: Who is the better fantasy wide receiver? The numbers don't lie. New Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caused a stir on Thursday when he said he was the best wide receiver in the NFL. Hopkins made the point to state that other big-time NFL receivers have the luxury of playing with top quarterbacks, which he didn't get to prior to his time with Deshaun Watson in Houston.  New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas has been vocal about his claim as the top wide receiver in the NFL, and his numbers back it up.  Saints insider Kyle Mosley dropped this nugget about Thomas: "Michael Thomas is confident in his talent and ability. He should be confident."  He is right that Thomas should be proud of his accomplishments and he can point to the numbers to back it up. We as fantasy players know numbers don't lie.  In 2019, Thomas broke the single-season reception record with 149 catches. He also had more than 1,700 re...

SI's Jenny Vrentas discusses Colin Kaepernick's protesting that eventually led to him losing his job in the NFL and being kept out of the league since then. Kaepernick famously knelt in silent protest during the national anthem to bring about a conversation about police brutality and systemic racism in America, but instead the conversation became about kneeling. Now today, with the brutal murder of George Floyd and the continuing problem of police brutality and system racism in America, Kaepernick's words seem all the more crucial. Read the full video transcript below:  This is Jenny Vrentas from Sports Illustrated. It's been nearly four years since Colin Kaepernick began quietly and peacefully protesting police brutality and systemic racism in America. And it's been three and a half years since Kaepernick, who once took the 49ers to the Super Bowl, played his last down in the NFL. The wakeup call Kaepernick was trying to issue to America, especially white Americ...

Before George Floyd, there was Philando Castile and Eric Garner, and there were Colin Kaepernick, Eric Reid and dozens of other prominent athletes telling us to pay attention. Sports are unusual in this country because they reward a select few high achievers with extreme upward mobility at a young age. Scan the roster of your favorite pro team, and you will find somebody who was scrounging for meals as a teenager and in the top 0.01 percent of earners in their 20s. They have lived both the roughest and finest of American lives, and yet many of us tell them to stick to sports. The request is foolish and self-defeating. We should be begging them to share their experiences. If we do that, we can confront the painful truth that America is not currently constructed to benefit everybody. The tragedy unfolding in Minneapolis this week is painful and heartbreaking, but it is not surprising. Before George Floyd, there was Philando Castile and Eric Garner and so many others, and there were Co...

Colin Kaepernick's charity is launching an initiative to hire lawyers for people arrested in protests against police brutality in Minneapolis. Colin Kaepernick's charitable arm, the Know Your Rights Camp, is launching an initiative to hire top defense lawyers for people arrested protesting police brutality in the Minneapolis area, the organization's website says.  The Wall Street Journal first reported Kaepernick's offer.  The new Know Your Rights Camp Legal Defense Initiative says it has "identified and teamed up with" defense lawyers in the Minneapolis area, calling it "our legal right to address [injustice within our community], by any means necessary." The organization's decision comes amid widespread protests in the city following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died Monday evening, shortly after being violently apprehended by Minneapolis police. Four Minneapolis police officers were fired on Tuesday after a vira...

Devon Clements joins Kaitlin O'Toole to talk about Uche's background and what he could bring to the New England defense.  Read full video transcript here:  Kaitlin O'Toole: Patriots linebacker Josh Uche is being referred to by some as a second day star. His combo of pass rushing expertise and overall athletic ability was too hard to pass up, so the New England Patriots traded up to acquire him in the second round.

Devon, the Patriots are losing Kyle Van Noy and Jamie Collins this off season, so what does that mean for Uche and the production that we may see out of him this year? Devon Clements: Well, because those two guys left, along with the Elandon Roberts, the linebacker, there's gonna be a lot of reps open for some of the younger guys like Josh Uche or Anfernee Je...

The NFL made a colossal blunder not passing the onside kick alternative. How in the world did the NFL not pass that new onside kick rule ? What a colossal blunder. The idea seemed almost too good to be true if you ask me. In case you were unaware, the alternative to the onside kick that was suggested would give teams the option to attempt an untimed fourth-and-15 from their own 25 in order to retain possession after a score. If the play failed, the opponent would have taken control at the dead-ball spot. The league reportedly never actually took an official vote on the proposal but did ask for a virtual show of hands. So, I’ll do the same. Raise your hand if you think that’s a good idea. Oh, never mind, everyone does! Because how could you possibly be against this? It only sounds like the most exciting play possible.  But instead, let's just keep onside kicks the way they are, where teams are 0-104 when attempting them over the last two seasons. That seems to be...

But instead, let’s keep onside kicks the way they are, where teams are 0-104 when attempting them over the last two seasons. Yeah that’s working great.  I understand the original onside kick was changed for safety, which I’m cool with, but now a recovered onside kick makes an actual safety seem like a frequent occurrence. Even the Browns and Lions ...

Games without fans in the stands? Melvin Gordon has been there before. No fans? No problem Though the NFL appears intent on playing games with fans in the stands this fall, there’s a real chance that the roar of the crowd will be replaced by dead silence. After spending the past three seasons playing with the Chargers in Los Angeles, Melvin Gordon wouldn’t mind the lack of spectators.  Gordon was interviewed by former NFL cornerback Marcus Cromartie (his old Wisconsin teammate) and was asked about the prospect of playing without fans.  “Bro, we didn’t have fans anyway,” Gordon said.  “I’ll be honest with you, we didn’t have many Charger fans at the games,” he continued. “Much loyalty and love but we ain’t have many, so I’m not missing anything.” As a percentage of stadium capacity, no team in the NFL attracted more fans last year than the Chargers. It’s just that not many of them rooted for the Chargers.  After failing to fill many seats  (an averag...

Current Broncos and former Chargers running back Melvin Gordon pulled no punches when he joined former NFL pro Marcus Cromartie on Instagram. Cromartie asked Gordon how he felt about the idea of playing without fans in the stadium since, as that is a distinct probability due to concerns over the coronavirus. Gordon didn't hold back at all, saying the Chargers "didn't have fans" in the stands anyway, so this wouldn't be anything new for him. Read the full video transcript here: Marcus Cromartie: Guys can't wait to play the new Raiders Stadium, the new L.A. Stadium. How would you feel if you go on to these games and there's no fans in the stadium? I know there's been a lot of talk about there being fan-less games. Could you imagine playing in a football game with no fans or there being crowd noise pumped into the into the stadium?  Melvin Gordon: Bro, we didn't have fans anyway.  Marcus Cromartie: Oh, man Charger fans, they're not going t...

On the 2020 NFL Draft, Bill Belichick's dog stole the show. It was a relatively rare breed, the Alaskan Klee Kai, and when it sat in Belichick's chair during the virtual draft, people seemingly fell in love with it. The Klee Kai association originally thought the uptick in adoptions was because of the stimulus check or boredom during the pandemic, but that is clearly not the case. Read the full video transcript below: Robin Lundberg: Perhaps a dog could make Bill Belichick more likable. It certainly did during the night of the NFL draft and it has made a breed of dog more sought after. For more, I'm joined by Conor Orr of the MMQB Conor, the Klee Kai, is that what it's called? People are trying to buy those after seeing Belichick's dog?  Conor Orr:   Yeah, the Alaskan Klee Kai, which is essentially kind of a purebred miniature husky, little bit of an obscure breed, came into existence in the mid to late 70s and acquired by Bill Belichick s girlfriend, Linda Hol...

Demand is surging for the Alaskan Klee Kai, after Bill Belichick's won the NFL draft Mark Albers, Alaskan Klee Kai Association of America. A few weeks back, Sherry Holloway began to notice that a lot more people were asking about her favorite dogs. Holloway first came across her life’s passion back in 1997 and, at the moment, says she has 15 of them between her home and a heated kennel. The community of breeders and enthusiasts likes to keep a tight circle to prevent the relatively young breed from overpopulating and ending up in mills or shelters, so it’s hard for miniature husky news to percolate without Holloway hearing about it. There are the inevitable moments when the Alaskan Klee Kai reaches the big time and marries with celebrity. Holloway, who is the president of the Alaskan Klee Kai Association of America, as well as its chief historian, remembered when Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner owned a pair of Klee Kai pups (named Porky Basquait and Waldo Picasso). “I think Bil...

SI Fantasy's Team Outlook series from high-stakes legend Shawn Childs aims to break down the New England Patriots to evaluate the offense, defense, coaches and everyone in between with a fantasy-slanted analysis. Coaching Staff Bill Belichick returns to the New England Patriots for his 21st season. His road to success will be much harder with QB Tom Brady no longer on the team. Belichick has a 237-83 record in New England with six Super Bowls and three other trips to the big game. The Patriots are 30-11 in the postseason since 2001. Belichick needs 56 wins to pass Don Shula for the most in NFL history. New England won the AFC East in each of the past 11 seasons (16 of 17 years). They have ten or more wins in every season since 2003. New England fell to 15th in yards gained, which was their lowest showing since 2002. They fell to 7th in points scored after nine straight seasons with a top-four ranking. Josh McDaniels returns for another season as he looks positioned to take o...
