FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Kirk Cousins would rather be playing elsewhere so he has a realistic chance to start at quarterback. The Falcons are open to trading Cousins if they could get some value for their backup. Neither party can get what they want right now — they are stuck together unless the trade market changes. kAmxE 5@6D?’E =@@< DEC@?8 27E6C E96 5C27E[ 3FE <66A 2? 6J6 @? !:EED3FC89] %96 $E66=6CD :?D:DE E92E p2C@? #@586CD H:== D:8?

Parties in the House v. NCAA lawsuit face a Wednesday deadline to satisfy California district court Judge Claudia Wilken’s concerns about how roster limits will affect current athletes. If Wilkens gives final approval to the $2.8 billion deal then, starting this summer, college athletes will be directly compensated by their schools beyond educational expenses for the first time. That’s long overdue, but it would be, at best, a hollow victory for current NCAA athletes.

FLOWERY BRANCH — Kirk Cousins would rather be playing elsewhere so he has a realistic chance to start at quarterback. The Falcons are open to trading Cousins if they could get some value for their backup. Neither party can get what they want right now — they are stuck together unless the trade market changes. It doesn’t look strong after the draft, but keep an eye on Pittsburgh. The Steelers insist that Aaron Rodgers will sign with them eventually.

Doom-scrolling, instinctively clicking on ad-based notifications or getting sucked into targeted content—all of these distractions can disrupt focus, increase screen time and ultimately make someone forget why they intended to log on to a social media app in the first place. As it turns out, this is by design.

What I think about some things I saw over the weekend ... The list of recent Falcons fiascos now includes Jax Ulbrich’s cruel call to Shedeur Sanders. If embarrassment ends up being the only fallout from the episode, then it wouldn’t be so bad for the team. Just add more clown shoes to the franchise’s collection and move on. Worse for the Falcons is that defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich’s negligence provided an opening for his adult son to steal Sanders’ phone number from his tablet.
