The tournament is one of the most grueling, intense, and physical events wrestlers can participate in during their careers. That’s something right up Danielson’s street, who expressed his desire to compete in the tournament on the latest episode of Throwing Down with Renee Paquette:...

The next-generation technology that Ashton’s group is developing, a cheap microchip affixed to the container, would tell all: which groves the oranges came from, where and when they were squeezed and bottled, the juice’s expiration date and where exactly the product was located within the global supply chain. Ashton refers to it as “radar for everyday products.” He predicts that the Auto-ID Center’s technology could bring major new efficiencies to manufacturers, distributors and retailers....

Saturday, the Denver Broncos put Ball on injured reserve. The man expected to replace Knowshon Moreno couldn’t fulfill his assignment despite a strong summer showing.

Coach Vic Fangio got a long look at both Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater in Denver’s 33-6 win over Minnesota, but he didn’t think that either one moved ahead in the competition. “I thought they both played very well.

But even though Denver has all-but-locked the AFC West, this could turn into a trap game. The defense has clearly lost a step with DeMarcus Ware out due to injury, and that could give Chargers QB Phillip Rivers a few more opportunities to get the ball downfield. MORE: Week 13 picks, straight up | Picks against the spread | Injury reports’ biggest losses Here’s what you need to know in order to see for yourself....

One of the knocks against the New Orleans tight end (we can say that officially, now) is that Graham referred to himself as a tight end in his Twitter bio — yes, whether you like it or not, something as seemingly simple as a Twitter bio matters in this day and age. Cameron, who’s also listed and categorized as a tight end with the Browns, took note. He modified his own Twitter bio following Wednesday’s ruling against Graham and the NFLPA....

“We’ve been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field,” Browns executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown said. “Johnny’s continual involvement in incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard work of his teammates and the reputation of our organization.

The 2012 first-round pick was quick to call out ESPN’s Mel Kiper and NBC’s Ross Tucker (a Sporting News contributor) for what he thought was unwarranted criticism. Or maybe Irvin is just sensitive. (Warning: Language NSFW)
