Some fun questions this week, let’s jump in … From Danny (@BetTheOver85): What would a Jeff Bezos ownership mean to the league, if it happens? Danny, at an owners’ meeting a couple years back, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told our Jenny Vrentas that he would carry Bezos “piggyback” into the NFL if the Amazon founder wanted to buy a team.

Newton: "Bill's not cold. Nobody on that team [has] an aura where you don't want to be around him." After spending the 2020 season with the Patriots, Cam Newton has learned a lot about head coach Bill Belichick. "I think Bill Belichick is the most misunderstood person in all of sports. He dope as s---," Newton said on Brandon Marshall's I AM ATHLETE podcast this week.  "He is a cool dude who understands the game. He's like a historian of the game.
