The National Anthem protests remain a hot topic in the NFL as the League and NFLPA continue to try and come to a resolution heading into the 2018 season. Meanwhile Cowboys owner Jerry Jones seems perfectly fine with promoting fake patriotism while his QB Dak Prescott seems ready to follow suit. That stance caught the attention from Raiders linebacker Tahir Whitehead. [Twitter]

It sounds like the current MLB is the perfect place for Pete Rose. [Instagram]

Bob Nightengale interviewed Pete Rose about why Rose thinks the MLB is a “bad place to be” on Saturday. Here are some quotes; • “I’m going to argue with baseball until the day I die that baseball is juiced. I don’t care what anybody says. They’ll say it’s not, which they have to. I saw a ball bounce behind the dugout the other day in Anaheim and it bounced into the second deck. Now, there’s something going on there. • “I saw Bryce Harper break his bat in half, and hit a 420-foot home run in New York. That just doesn’t happen. I know the ballparks are small. It just seems to me that everybody who plays baseball today is a potential home-run hitter.” • “Too many guys just sit around waiting for that two-run, three-run home runs. The teams that put the ball in play go to the World Series.” What are your thoughts? #MLB #Baseball #PeteRose #USAToday #Reds #BryceHarper #Steroids #TradeDeadline #BaseballNews #MLBNews #BaseballRumors #BaseballNews
