--Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will pay for the funerals of those killed in the shooting at Santa Fe High School.

Watt has been active in the surrounding community since he was drafted by Houston in 2011. Most notably, he started a fundraiser last August that raised more than $37 million for those affected by the flooding from Hurricane Harvey.

That's a big rock the Argos have on their finger. I bet they get another one this year with Trestman/Popp in charge.
Huge win for the Pats and a huge game for Paddock. Makes you wonder if they would have beat Swift in the first round had he played.
Nice of the WHL ref to give Hamilton 4 penalties in the first period.
JJ Watt would make a great president. Then again, a grazing cow would make a better president than the current one.
