FINALLY: NFL ends Pro Bowl after decades of declining interest, will turn all-star game into an award for 88 players.

Meanwhile in college football: NCAA Conference Issues Big Ruling on NFL Players Rejoining College Football. “College sports have become so chaotic that apparently we now need an explicit rule saying you can’t go to the NFL, sign a professional contract, get cut and then come back to college. The Southeastern Conference (SEC) made that rule official Tuesday.”

The NFL concurs:

Sources: The NFL will provide clarity to clubs later today regarding league rules governing player eligibility that have been in place and remain unaltered. A player that goes back to college this season will be prohibited from signing with an NFL team this year.

Schefter’s tweet concludes, “A player signed to an NFL contract who is subsequently cut is a free agent. He may sign with another NFL club, the CFL or return to college, but that player is considered a free agent and will not be subject to a future draft.”

As Stephen Jukes, global news editor for Reuters infamously told his contributors after September 11th, “We all know that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter and that Reuters upholds the principle that we do not use the word terrorist. To be frank, it adds little to call the attack on the World Trade Center a terrorist attack.”

TESTED: Tested! The Tesla Model Y Offers Swift 0–60 MPH Speed, but Is It Fun? “The Model Y also has some of the least helpful door handles on the market. No proximity sensor senses your approach and pokes out the thin handle to make entering easier, like the Ioniq 5. Normal door handles may cost a bit in aerodynamic efficiency and don’t look futuristic, but they’re way easier to live with.”

A lot of cars have this problem. Bring back traditional handles.
