In my opinion

Armando Salguero: Super Bowl bid has one big flaw — Sun Life Stadium

The San Francisco Bay area is clearly the favorite to land the most significant of the NFL’s signature games in a couple of weeks.

Armando Salguero | In My Opinion

Armando Salguero: Dion Jordan sidelined now, but must thrive in future for Miami Dolphins

Dion Jordan didn’t exactly jump out of the blocks to start his NFL career, and that’s not an aspersion but simply the truth. The Dolphins first-round pick is still recovering from shoulder surgery, which everyone knew about, so when most of the other rookies got busy trying to impress coaches during Friday’s rookie camp practice, Jordan simply watched.

IN MY OPINION

Dan Le Batard: NFL Draft is great celebration of the unknown

Let us marvel in open-mouthed awe at this magic trick the NFL unveils annually, waving a wand over a hypnotized audience to much applause when all this league is really doing is just selling your hope right back to you. Well, that’s not fair, actually. That’s not all the NFL is doing. It is also conspiring as a monopoly with a corrupt NCAA cartel to create a free-labor minor league for its multibillion-dollar industry, plus signing up gladiators who are dying earlier and in more pain than the rest of us. But we lap this NFL Draft up every year like thirsty hounds at a bowl because you won’t find a lot of introspection at the biggest and best parties.
