Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow makes a lot of flashy plays.
He’s accurate all over the field. His coaches have praised his adaptability as the only reason the offense has been able to evolve this year. And he’s often able to create magical moments by escaping messy pockets before creating big plays. And it’s one of those sequences from last weekend’s win over the New Orleans Saints that has former pro quarterback Dan Orlovsky singing Burrow’s praises. Orlovsky provided a film clip that touches on this aspect. I have such great admiration for how he has remained so fundamentally pocket-sound while being pressured endlessly as a young player. Just watch him in the pocket here. One, two, three. That is a great throwing posture. So often in this moment with pressure…quarterbacks, especially the young ones, separate their hands from the ball….
Clearly, to make the big things happen, Burrow first needs to have the rare ability to major in the little things where other younger passers do not.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
