Do as I say, not as I do. It should very well be the new mantra of the National Football League. The NFL has tried its best to defend its brand integrity and uphold its platform as one of the kings of entertainment. In theory, no player is greater than the shield. The well-being of…
The NFL suspended Jameson Williams on Friday for something legal in 26 states and Canada.

There’s no doubt David Montgomery is a talent upgrade over Jamaal Williams for the Detroit Lions, but he appears to be an instant culture fit too. The Detroit Lions made a quick and surprising pivot to sign David Montgomery when talks to re-sign Jamaal Williams went nowhere. It’s an undeniable talent upgrade. But the question
