Trainer Robert Garcia has offered to help former four-division world champion Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner get his feet back on the ground by having him come to his gym and stay at his camp house. Garcia says he’s not trying to become Broner’s trainer. He wants to help him. Recently, Broner pulled out of his fight against Omar Figuerora Jr due to mental health issues, and it’s unclear when he’ll be returning to the ring. Broner hasn’t fought in nineteen months, and it’s possible that might not be back this year. At this point in Broner’s career, it would be…

Eleven quarters and 11 minutes.That’s the average amount of regular-season game time — just short of three full games — that it took for top-tier wide receivers who switched teams since 1997 to have their usage, production and new benchmarks calibrated (assuming they played at least 65 percent of snaps).To oversimplify my findings, wide receiver data looks different in a player’s first eleven quarters and 11 minutes with their new team. In some cases, it takes time for chemistry to form. In others, wide receivers provide their teams with an early edge because defenses are caught off-guard, with new tendencies,…

He’s somebody…
