ORLANDO, Fla. — The NFL has officially banned the hip-drop tackle after a vote at the spring owners meetings. A source confirmed the news to Yahoo Sports shortly before the announcement. Momentum has been building for months now to ban the hip-drop tackle, which league competition committee executive vice president Jeff Miller said results in about a 25 times rate of injury as a typical tackle. Though there's been scrutiny over what exactly constitutes a hip-drop tackle. Prominent on-field incidents that have prompted discussions also include Patrick Mahomes' injury against the Jaguars in the divisional round two seasons ago and the tackle that injured Ravens tight end Mark Andrews this past November. How exactly, though, will the NFL train officials to enforce the new rule? By looking for three elements specifically. The NFLPA released a statement ahead of the owners meetings against the proposal of banning it. We cannot support a rule change that causes confusion for us as players, for coaches, for officials and especially, for fans, the statement read. Dolphins safety Jevon Holland and Vikings safety Josh Metellus were among the first players to publicly weigh in on the rule change Monday, with J.J. Watt and Kenyan Drake joining later.

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.
