Von Miller is back in the game and he wants everyone to know it. The thirty-seven-year-old linebacker signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys and spoke to reporters at training camp in Oxnard, California, making clear his intentions — he's not there for a farewell tour, he's there to compete. The Cowboys are bringing him along carefully, but Miller's mentality sounds anything but cautious.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams are building something that looks genuinely scary on the defensive side of the ball. Pro Football Focus just ranked their defensive line the best in the entire NFL, and when you factor in the addition of Myles Garrett alongside an already formidable front, that ranking is hard to argue with. They still have to prove it between the lines, but the foundation is undeniable.
And over in Brooklyn, Nets owner Joe Tsai is sitting with some uncomfortable feelings this offseason. With the New York Knicks having captured the NBA championship, Tsai openly called the reality of a crosstown rival hoisting the trophy embarrassing. Candid words from an owner who knows his franchise still has a long road ahead before it can even think about competing for that kind of hardware.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
