Jon Gruden has issues with former Raiders, Antonio Brown has a bad week, Vontae Davis retires at halftime, and the Cleveland Browns win a football game.

This week: Jalen Ramsey threatens his family, Jon Gruden says Khalil Mack started it, Kirk Cousins gets even goofier, and Steve Smith and Michael Irvin get on each other's nerves.

Khalil Mack gets paid, but Le'Veon Bell is still waiting... and his teammates aren't happy about it. Plus: The secret reason why Jon Gruden came back to the NFL.

This week: tight booties, dirty names, angry coaches, gnarly hairstyles, and Jacksonville's harshest quarterback critic evaluates the passers of the NFL.

Training camps are open! It's time for rookies to report, for butts to get patted, for (video) games to be played, for chicken to be consumed (in Charlotte, not in Ann Arbor), and for all hell to break loose in Dallas.
