Sports are fun. Sports debates can be fun. But today is a great reminder of what's really important to get worked up about...and what isn't.

#Giants & Eli Manning agree in principle to a 4-year, $84M contract, per source. He’ll sign it today after meeting with John Mara last night

by Ian Rapoport via twitter retweeted by NFL 9/11/2015 3:13:23 PM
Eli Manning’s contract will include a no-trade clause, as expected. Last hurdle was on offset language. No word yet on that. But it’s done

Final numbers on Eli Manning-Giants deal: 4-year, $84 million extension that includes $65 million in guaranteed money. 5-yr total: $101 .5M.

Despite off-field issues, Raiders' Aldon Smith IS eligible to play Sunday, per source. OAK will consider playing him, based on conditioning.

by Adam Schefter via twitter 9/11/2015 4:38:14 PM
An Aldon Smith-Khalil Mack tag-team might be NFL's best 1-2 pass-rush combo. AFC West loaded with great pass rushers.
