Leading into the December fight, Paul has asked for some bizarre things in their contract. Two of the clauses have been made public this week. The contract has reportedly been finalized, but it is uncertain whether each clause has been finalized or not. PAUL VS. FURY: Date, TV channel & location for fight One of the clauses states that if Fury loses, he would have to legally change his name to “Tommy Fumbles” for one year only....

More than the statistics, Poeltl’s game pops on the eye test. He has superb athleticism, length, and footspeed.

It’s using your head, it’s experience.” That experience has allowed Poeltl to make the leap into one of the top big man defenders in the league and worthy of an All-Defensive team selection....

As for what the Jaguars want in return for the fifth overall selection in the 2016 NFL Draft?

Much like Miami did with recent first-round defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick on Monday night, Jacksonville won’t need to wait long for the right price to move Ramsey.
