The NFL Kills the Pro Bowl, Kuminga Says No to the Lakers & Jeanie's Day in Court

It's official-official: The Sporting Tribune Today joins SportsGrid on Monday, August 31 — 7AM and 11AM Eastern — and Grant, John Browner and Arash Markazi open with the celebration (and the suspiciously buff AI promo art). Then the news: the NFL has eliminated the Pro Bowl Games entirely, and John delivers the eulogy — the players ended this themselves, the Hawaii era gave way to the nothing era, and if the owners are smart, the "Pro Bowl bonus" leaves contracts next. The crew breaks down the league's new three-strikes suspension list (hip-drop yes, launching?!) and John's theory that gambling money is what's really softening football. Plus the Jed York bodycam video ("a handcuff training film"), the Lakers mess getting a court date — nothing resolves before November, and John's verdict on Jeanie's 5-to-1 odds is an instant classic — and Jonathan Kuminga turning down more Lakers money to join a Minnesota team John thinks might be the fastest in the league.
