Harbaugh's Giants Bully Dallas, the Chargers Lay an Egg & the Bears Drop 59 — Plus Ballmer Folds

Late Sunday, Steve Ballmer blinked: the Clippers will comply with the NBA's punishment rather than pursue legal action — a complete reversal from the book-length letter to Adam Silver and weeks of denials, and the franchise's first statement to its fans since any of this began. Grant calls it the right call and the only real one, pointing to the 2000 Timberwolves, who complied and got two of five picks back. John's verdict lands harder: you just watched one of the richest men in the world be held accountable, and when there was nothing left to do but comply, he complied like everybody else. His theory on the timing — dropped on Sunday night, while the Bears were scoring 59 — is worth the price of admission. Before that, the full Week 1 Sunday wrap: John got bamboozled by the Cowboys for the twenty-seventh straight year as the Giants won the John Harbaugh opener on pure physicality, the Chargers were the upset of the week and it wasn't close, Caleb Williams was the best quarterback of the weekend in a 59-point explosion, Josh Allen and DJ Moore made a statement in Houston, and the Vikings won anyway after losing Kyler Murray — which may mean you never see JJ McCarthy again.
