There were some 5,000 runners across the event's different races.The 102-kilometer race, which iRunFar reported on in detail, was again the premier distance, but the 100 miler and 50k both had some star power too.

Daniel Jones appears on his way to turning one solid season into generational wealth.Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported estimates of a four-year, $160 million contract have been thrown around the league regarding Jones' contract talks."A big number is on the table," a source told Fowler.By any measure, signing Jones to a contract worth $40 million annually would be an eye-popping number.

Nobody wants to see a bunch of field goals in the Super Bowl or a 13-3 snooze fest like the Patriots over the Rams a few years ago, that is unless you bet the under on total touchdowns in the big game.Prop bets make the game so much more fun, and it's already my favorite day of the year.If you take the over and we do get a back-and-forth shootout like the last time the Eagles were in the Super Bowl, then each touchdown will be even more exciting.

Aidan Hutchinson joined FanSided on behalf of Courtyard by Marriott and the Super Bowl Sleepover contest at State Farm Stadium.Even after a season where he took home Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year honors, Detroit Lions defensive powerhouse Aidan Hutchinson is still hungry.Luckily, if he wants food, he can just zip down the highway to his family home for a quick dinner.

Giants Daniel Jones' contract saga has taken an unexpectedly laughable twist: Jones is asking to be paid on par with the most elite quarterbacks in the league - which he's not.After leading the New York Giants to their first playoff win since 2011, quarterback Daniel Jones appears determined to bankrupt the franchise and send a young and promising playoff-contending team into utter shambles.

NFL rumors were buzzing after Tyreek Hill praised Lions QB Jared Goff, the record on Daniel Jones got set straight and Bruce Arians came with the comedy.It may be the NFL offseason but any good sports fan knows the National Football League never truly sleeps.There's always something happening to shift the landscape.

Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The clock is ticking on Daniel Jones and the Giants' contract negotiations, and after several days of meetings at the NFL Scouting Combine, a compromise is not yet in sight, according to a report by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero..Although recent reports have indicated that the organization and Jones' agents have had promising conversations, it now looks like it'll be a tight call ahead of Tuesday's tag deadline.

Danielle Hunter holding out for more money from the Minnesota Vikings may not end well.Despite being a three-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher in a Minnesota Vikings uniform, things have been better between Danielle Hunter and the team he plays for.Hunter held out of the Vikings' mandatory minicamp this week.

If the Detroit Lions were to add DeAndre Hopkins, that would make them a playoff team, right?What if I told you the Detroit Lions are actually the best fit for DeAndre Hopkins in his free agency?Jared Goff may not be Josh Allen, Justin Herbert or Lamar Jackson, but unlike all three, he has been to a Super Bowl and was a former No. 1 overall pick.

Jalin Hyatt wants revenge after the Dallas Cowboys overlooked him, as the Tennessee Volunteers star now plays for the division rival New York Giants.The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants will see firsthand if former Tennessee star wide receiver Jalin Hyatt can run routes or not.Despite winning the Biletnikoff during his final year in Knoxville, there are reasons why he, quarterback Hendon Hooker and fellow wide receiver Cedric Tillman were not first-round picks.

The Los Angeles Chargers and quarterback Justin Herbert have begun contract extension negotiations.Here is what his new deal might look like.The quarterback market is once again the talk of the NFL offseason.While the free agency class was far from stacked, there were deals made that really put into perspective how expensive quarterbacks will be from here on out.

Kirk Cousins was open to lowering his contract for 2023 to help the Minnesota Vikings out, but they didn't take him up on it.Here's why.This offseason, the Minnesota Vikings added two void years to Kirk Cousins' contract, effectively making the quarterback an unrestricted free agent in 2024.Cousins' contract played out similar to how Daniel Jones' contract could: It was thought to be a dramatic overpay at the start, and then as time went on and the market grew around it, it was much more of a market rate deal by the end.

Thankfully, the Miami Dolphins decided to pick up the fifth-year option on Tua Tagovailoa.While there was some debate about what the Miami Dolphins wanted to do, they made the right call on Monday by extending starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa his fifth-year option.Miami used the No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on the former Alabama star.

Andrew Dannehy | April 27th, 2023
When creating a big board for the Chicago Bears ahead of tonight's NFL Draft, it's important to consider separate categories.Ryan Poles has spoken about "blue" and "red" players.Blue players are obviously the elite, reds are a step down.He hasn't been consistent in how many blue players he sees in this draft, but he had indicated that he thinks the team can get one with the ninth pick.

The New York area's football teams, at least moderately successful last year, did not get to pick in the glamorous top few spots in the first round of the N.F.L. draft on Thursday.Away from the spotlight, they both selected defensive players who look like they can help already solid cores.Anything the Jets did on draft day was going to be overshadowed by the blockbuster trade for the future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers earlier in the week.

The NFL rumors are coming in hot with the 2023 NFL Draft here with a look at the Steelers and Pickett, a WR wanting the Chiefs and late Will Levis updates.The 2023 NFL Draft is just a day away at this point and silly season is all the way upon us when it comes to the sheer volume of NFL rumors floating around right now.

Derek Carr might be the first quarterback domino to fall this offseason.His release from the Raiders in mid-February makes him a street free agent, free to sign with any team at any time.

Jim McIsaac/Getty Images Starting quarterbacks cost a lot of money in the NFL, and Daniel Jones may prove to be a prime example.ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported Thursday that Jones' next deal is expected to "come in at over $35 million per season."The 25-year-old enjoyed the best season of his career in 2022.

Today's slate of NFL rumors involves the Dolphins gearing up for money moves, the Saints giving a pity deal to Jameis Winston, and the end of Vikings' Kirk Cousins.The NFL is getting zanier by the minute.Some cases in point: Aaron Rodgers emerged from his darkness retreat as a bat, ready to take flight with the New York Jets.

The situation between Daniel Jones and the Giants has certainly had some twists recently and it has opened the door for New York to be looking towards a future where someone that isn't Jones is under center.There has been a reported gap between what Jones wants and what the Giants have offered the QB, and there is a very real possibility that they use the franchise tag on him.

How are things shaping up for the Washington Commanders' rivals within the NFC East after a busy start to free agency in 2023?Compared to some other teams, the Washington Commanders have had a relatively quiet start to the 2023 off-season.They secured some help for a beleaguered offensive line.They said goodbye to a couple of fan favorites.

Giants running back Saquon Barkley played a massive role in New York's surprise success this season and its run to the NFC Divisional Round.However, the Giants have been focused on re-signing quarterback Daniel Jones and general manager Joe Schoen seemed a little less definitive about bringing back Barkley this offseason.

The Dallas Cowboys offseason is hardly a month old, and fans want a resolution to Ezekiel Elliott's contract dilemma.With no more guaranteed money left on his deal, the Cowboys finally have an out of Elliott's contract.Per Over The Cap, Dallas could save $10.9 million in cap room, while incurring an affordable $5.82 million dead cap charge.

The Dallas Cowboys' running back conundrum is one of the offseason's biggest storylines.Seemingly everyone thinks the team should release Ezekiel Elliott given his rapid decline and bloated 2023 cap hit.There isn't a preference about what Dallas should do with Tony Pollard, but most of Cowboys Nation understands the plus side of franchise-tagging him for just over $10 million.

NFL rumors are running wild heading into free agency with Jerry Jones' maybe tipping his hand over his "big move", Daniel Jones about to get himself tagged and Robbie Gould on the move.There are NFL rumors, and then there's keeping up with the Joneses...
Jerry Jones is up to something, per usual.

Daniel Jones.Lamar Jackson.Josh Jacobs.Evan Engram.Those players and others are staring at the franchise tag, if they don't get long-term deals done by Tuesday's deadline for applying it.At this point, each player should force the application of the tag.There's no reason not to.Unless the team is offering a premium so that it can apply the tag to a different player (such as the Giants and running back Saquon Barkley), the player benefits from having the tag applied.

You probably already know this because of the Google Alert you set up for "American Cornhole League," but just in case you missed it, we wanted to pass along the news that former Dodgers Justin Turner and Joc Pederson will be competing in the ACL's SuperHole IV event tonight, February 10, and you can watch it!

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba Over the years, the Central Intelligence Agency's use of waterboarding and other forms of torture in its secret overseas prisons after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks has been revealed in government leaks, testimony and a damning Senate investigation.But an expert's testimony this week in pretrial hearings at Guantanamo Bay offered some of the most graphic details made public about the C.I.A.'s shadowy use of rectal feeding on its prisoners, a discredited practice kept secret long after other torture methods had been exposed.
