Today was the first day of free agency.  For the first time that I can remember, none of the first-day guys who switched teams were "stars."  Some of the linemen may be very good, and will help their teams win, but I wouldn't call them stars.

This Dan Ralph article is the best I've found summarizing the day.  I might find more tomorrow.

I hope to list more articles about the guys who extended their contracts before the weekend.

Darrel K. Smith died Monday of cancer at 55.  Even though he was treated like a star, I always thought that he deserved more.  He was a great one.

I don't have a publicist.  Do you have a publicist?  Well, Johnny Manziel has a publicist, and he met with Chris Jones.  Manziel is on the Ticats' neg list, so the league fined the Riders $31,000. for this and various other infractions.  One wag on Twitter said that Jones has had nearly as many fines as wins!
