Cam Newton followed Mac Jones along the sideline, hold- ing his right hand up, waiting for the rookie quarterback to slap it after the No. 15 overall pick threw a touchdown in a presea- son game Sunday night. Newton may as well have been congratulating Jones for taking his job. The New England Patriots re- leased Newton on Tuesday hours before NFL teams re- duced rosters to 53 players. Jones, the first QB selected in the first round during Bill Beli- chick’s 22 seasons in New En- gland, takes over after Newton was a one-year stopgap follow- ing Tom Brady’s departure.

My thinking W cap is spinning around this week as I learned that two Inver- ness Sertoma (Service to Mankind) Clubs had merged for greater im- pact. The new club is now Citrus Sertoma 2.0.
