Head coach Dabo Swinney says he didn't plan for Clemson to be one of just a few programs in the country not to add a player from the transfer portal this year."Well, it wasn't really necessarily like an intentional thing," Swinney said, according to <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/acc/2024/05/15/dabo-swinney-clemson-transfer-portal/73705484007/">Derrian Carter of USA TODAY</a>. "There were a couple guys we looked at. They gotta love you, too."The Tigers joined Army, Navy, and Air Force as the only programs not to bring in a transfer. However, the service academies aren't allowed to take transfers, whereas Clemson can.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Swinney and his program may not have added anyone from the portal, but the 54-year-old joked that he still made transfer additions."Honestly, every player is technically a transfer," Swinney said. "We just signed a whole class of guys transferring from high school, so we like our guys. We like our starters."Clemson's 2024 class features five-star linebacker Sammy Brown and 11 four-star recruits. Nine of their 22 commits are listed on the <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/school/_/id/228/class/2024">ESPN 300</a>.The Tigers have also done a good job with retention. Clemson had 127 players entering the spring period, and 125 are still on the roster, Swinney said.Swinney's program went 9-4 last season, including a 4-4 record in the ACC. It was Clemson's first single-digit win campaign since going 6-7 in 2010, Swinney's second full season with the team.

Netflix's "The Greatest Roast Of All Time: Tom Brady" featured plenty of witty and hilarious jabs from comedians, former teammates, Bill Belichick, and more. From Will Ferrell reprising his role as "Anchorman" character Ron Burgundy and leading 'Brady is Eli Manning's b---h' chants to the numerous jokes about the Patriots' cheating allegations, there was plenty to laugh at.Here are some of our favorite jokes (that are safe enough for us to publish):Tom Brady<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><blockquote>The NFL spent $20 million and found that it was more 'probable' than not that I was 'generally' aware that someone may have deflated my footballs. You could have just given me the $20 million, and I would have just told you I f-----g did it.</blockquote><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627747/cropped_GettyImages-2151655108.jpg?ts=1714998483" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627747/w220xh124_GettyImages-2151655108.jpg?ts=1714998483 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627747/w320xh180_GettyImages-2151655108.jpg?ts=1714998483 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627747/w640xh360_GettyImages-2151655108.jpg?ts=1714998483 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627747/w768xh432_GettyImages-2151655108.jpg?ts=1714998483 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627747/w1080xh607_GettyImages-2151655108.jpg?ts=1714998483 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images Entertainment / Getty</figcaption></figure>Comedian Jeff Ross<blockquote>Tom, I wanted you to be our first GOAT to be roasted because you're an example to future generations. If you work hard, eat right, film the other team's practices, deflate the balls, and have the NFL make new rules just for you, you, too, can be the third-most famous guy in a Dunkin' Donuts commercial.</blockquote>Comedian Nikki Glaser<blockquote>You retired, then you came back, and then you retired again. I mean, I get it, it's hard to walk away from something that's not your pregnant girlfriend.</blockquote>Julian Edelman<blockquote>When we played together, Tom, you used to scream, 'Laser focus! Laser focus!' Now, that's what he screams at his plastic surgeon. Who's laughing now, Tom? Not you because your face can't move, and you don't have a sense of humor.</blockquote><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627748/cropped_GettyImages-2151654795.jpg?ts=1714998545" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627748/w220xh124_GettyImages-2151654795.jpg?ts=1714998545 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627748/w320xh180_GettyImages-2151654795.jpg?ts=1714998545 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627748/w640xh360_GettyImages-2151654795.jpg?ts=1714998545 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627748/w768xh432_GettyImages-2151654795.jpg?ts=1714998545 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627748/w1080xh607_GettyImages-2151654795.jpg?ts=1714998545 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images Entertainment / Getty</figcaption></figure>Bill Belichick<blockquote>A lot of people connect me to the saying, 'Do your job,' and telling people to do their job. Gronk, I've been watching you on FOX NFL Sunday, and I'm begging you: Stop doing your job. Do another job. Do somebody else's job!</blockquote>Peyton Manning<blockquote>For those who don't know, coach is going to do some work on Eli and my Monday Night Football show this year. … Eli and I are super excited, and it's going to give coach Belichick something he hasn't had in a while: The chance to be around quarterbacks he respects.</blockquote>Tom Brady<blockquote>People ask, 'Tom, why would you do this roast now?' It's simple: I can take the hits. I would've done this earlier, but I've just been too busy winning championships, which explains why Peyton did this roast eight years ago.</blockquote>Drew Bledsoe (to Belichick)<blockquote>At least when I got fired, someone else wanted me.</blockquote><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627750/cropped_GettyImages-2151656373.jpg?ts=1714998666" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627750/w220xh124_GettyImages-2151656373.jpg?ts=1714998666 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627750/w320xh180_GettyImages-2151656373.jpg?ts=1714998666 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627750/w640xh360_GettyImages-2151656373.jpg?ts=1714998666 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627750/w768xh432_GettyImages-2151656373.jpg?ts=1714998666 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/627750/w1080xh607_GettyImages-2151656373.jpg?ts=1714998666 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images Entertainment / Getty</figcaption></figure>

Former Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is keeping the door open to return to the football ...

Former Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is keeping the door open to return to the football field in 2024."I told (head coach DeMeco Ryans) last year, I said, 'Don't call unless you absolutely need it, but if you ever do call, I'll be there.' And he knows not to call unless he absolutely needs it," Watt told <a href="https://x.com/brandonkscott/status/1786884893625967004">Brandon Scott of SportsRadio 610</a> on Saturday.The 35-year-old added that this is the last season he'll leave the offer on the table for the Texans, saying he's a "very fortunate and lucky man" to have walked away healthy after a 12-year career.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>"This is the last year I'll tell him that because I'm not going to keep training the way I've been training. But he knows that if he ever truly does need it, I'll be there for him," said Watt, who retired after the 2022 season. "But I don't anticipate that happening. They've got a very good crew."Houston finished the 2023 campaign with a 10-7 record, winning the AFC South. The club trounced the Cleveland Browns 45-14 in the wild-card round but lost 34-10 to the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round.The Texans surpassed preseason expectations last year, largely due to quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/188132" href="https://www.thescore.com/nfl/players/188132">C.J. Stroud</a> and pass-rusher <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/188133" href="https://www.thescore.com/nfl/players/188133">Will Anderson Jr.</a>, the respective offensive and defensive rookies of the year.But Watt said he's hoping he doesn't get called and can instead "watch and enjoy from the couch.""I very much don't want (to be needed)," he said. "I hope that everybody stays extremely healthy, and they dominate, and they don't need any other bodies."Watt spent 10 seasons with the Texans, earning three Defensive Player of the Year awards, five first-team All-Pro nods, and five Pro Bowl honors. His 101 sacks are the most in franchise history by a wide margin, with Whitney Mercilus' 57 and Mario Williams' 53 ranking second and third, respectively.

The NFL is allowing players the option to wear Guardian Caps during the regular season in 2024.The caps, which are padded and go over top of helmets, were mandated for certain positions during training camps over the last two offseasons but weren't permitted for in-game use until now.Guardian Caps contributed to a decrease of nearly 50% in concussions among players using them during those periods, NFL executive vice president Jeff Miller said earlier this year, according to <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40031598/nfl-allow-guardian-caps-helmets-regular-season">ESPN's Kevin Seifert</a>.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Players at Guardian Cap-mandated positions will be exempt from the requirement if they use a helmet model that provides equal or greater protection, per Seifert."Data drives our decision-making and is really at the heart of what we do," NFL chief football administrative officer Dawn Aponte said as part of the league's <a href="https://www.nfl.com/playerhealthandsafety/health-and-wellness/player-care/nfl-presents-reducing-head-impacts">Player Health and Safety</a> program. "We also share aggregate data (with teams) across the league and give them their rankings."Any caps worn in games will have team logos on them, according to Seifert.

New England Patriots quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/199741" href="https://www.thescore.com/nfl/players/199741">Drake Maye</a> is well aware he's playing for the franchise that future Hall of Famer Tom Brady spent two decades with, but he's focused on being himself."Brady's the GOAT," Maye said after the draft's first round, according to <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/patriots-new-qb-not-going-to-be-tom-brady-just-going-to-try-to-be-drake-maye">NFL.com's Grant Gordon</a>. "It's easy to say that. He's the best that ever played this game. I'm not going to be Tom Brady. So, I'm just going to try to be Drake Maye."While Maye plans to focus on his own game, he hopes to learn from the NFL's all-time passing leader.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>"Hopefully get to know (Brady) a little bit," Maye said. "Other than that, just try to soak it up, be a sponge, and try to learn all I can from him. He's the man of that town."Maye was selected with the No. 3 pick Thursday after two seasons as North Carolina's starter. He threw for 8,018 yards, 63 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions on 64.9% passing over his collegiate career.Despite his draft slot, Maye could sit behind and learn from <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/54853" href="https://www.thescore.com/nfl/players/54853">Jacoby Brissett</a> to start the season. The 21-year-old is excited to pick up whatever he can from the veteran signal-caller as he acclimates to the NFL."I'm just looking forward to getting to learn from him," Maye said. "I know he's an old guy, old vet, and he can still play. So, I'm looking forward to contributing in any way, I'm looking forward to getting to see him, and I know he's the man."New England owns a 29-38 record in the post-Brady era with one playoff appearance - a wild-card game loss in 2021. Maye plans to make the Patriots playoff contenders again once he takes over the starting job."I think going in there as a top-three pick rookie, I think you kind of - just stay humble," Maye said. "Worry about my play on the field, winning games and that's what I'm playing the game for. I love football, and I love winning. I think the biggest thing is that I hate losing. I hate losing in anything I do."
