NFL owners wrapped up three days of meetings in Phoenix this week, voted on five rule changes, and congratulated themselves on a productive offseason.

Here we go again. Another season, another Joe Burrow injury. Three months out. THREE. MONTHS. This isn’t bad luck. This is organizational malpractice, and the Cincinnati Bengals front office should be ashamed. Joe Burrow is getting the Andrew Luck treatment. Remember Luck? Generational talent until years of getting destroyed behind garbage offensive lines turned his...
