Executive director of the NFL Players Association Lloyd Howell announced last week that he was withdrawing from his role. A few days later, Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reported that the former president of the NFLPA JC TrettterWho is director of the players ‘union of the players’ union since OctoberNot only will be excluded from the race as an active executive director of the union, but will not remain with the NFLPA for this week either.
“In the past two days, it has become very, very hard for my family,” said Trette. “And this is something that I cannot take care of. So, the short chips are: I have no interest in being (executive director). I have no interest in being considered; I have made it known to the Executive Committee. I will also leave the NFLPA in the coming days because I have nothing more to give to the organization.”
Tretter responded to concerns in the conversation with CBS Sports and sought to respond to “errors” about him and his motivations during his years with the union. Jones reported earlier this week that the NFLPA board of directors planned to meet “as soon as possible” To map its next steps, including an acting executive director.

With only two months of training, 46 year old boxing legend Manny Pacquiao came to a victory cycle of a belt after a four -year lack of sport. Whether it said more about unique gifts (read: Borderline) of Pacquiao or a lack of depth in sport where someone closer to 50 that 40 can enter and almost win a title, I am not sure.
But the fact that Pacquiao fought with a draw with Mario Barrios On two dashboards of the judge, this probably means that this match will get its suite. Here’s how our Brent Brookhouse saw the fight.
- Brookhouse: “Barrios was effective in working his blow throughout the fight, but he did not follow this blow with boosts, and he did not invested much for the body of his much older opponent, who returned to action for the first time in almost four years.”
The event was the headliner of the weekend, but it was certainly not the only major fight on the menu.
