Georgia and the rest of her close-knit family knew of our trusting and loyal friendship since the early days of our youth. They themselves could not bear the task of going through her personal belongings.

Owners and players are at it again, posturing and manipulating each other into another agreement about what to do with their billions.

There is too much leverage available—off-season mini-camps, the college draft, and even pre-season training camps.
