The Under Armour people would like to sell you some shoes, and helping them do that are Tom Brady, Cam Newton and the voice of Ray Lewis. We might be likely to see a lot of this ad during preseason football this weekend, so fortunately, it’s kind of awesome.

Also starring are Monica Hargrove and Georges St. Pierre. I’m going to go buy these shoes, and them immediately be able to do GSP’s freakish jumping, spinning push-up thing.

Gracias, Real Clear Sports.

Courtesy of our friends at Under Armour, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Newton and Brady meeting for the first time, with director Peter Berg (“Friday Night Lights”) in a few shots as well.

Everyone wanted to know what was wrong with Philadelphia Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin ? the third-year speedster from Missouri hadn’t practiced since the end of the lockout, and there were all kinds of rumors about his health.

Finally, in an exclusive interview with FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer that was released Wednesday, Maclin revealed that he did indeed have a cancer scare this offseason. He was given a battery of tests after suffering mysterious symptoms such as weight loss, iron anemia and irregular results in his blood tests. On May 11, he was told that a diagnosis showed his lymph nodes were “enlarged and hot” ? a possible sign of lymphoma.

Maclin told Glazer of a very different offseason from the norm ? instead of the usual workouts, he had large needles inserted into his back to take biopsy samples. Maclin had bone marrow tests, radiology scans and other tests to make sure that cancer wasn’t an issue.

Meanwhile, the rumors persisted.

“I wanted my privacy on this until I had answers,” Maclin told Glazer, when asked why he didn’t reveal anything. “I don’t like to talk unless I have all the answers about what I’m talking about. It was frustrating to hear all the rumors about me. It wasn’t until this morning that I finally got my final answer and thankfully I’m healthy and ready to return to football.”

After his tests were completed, Maclin finally got the good word on Wednesday afternoon, just an hour before he spoke with Glazer: No cancer. He was in the clear.

“I want everyone to know I’m fine, I’m healthy,” Maclin told Glazer. “I was tested for everything and every single test came back negative. I don’t have mono, I don’t have AIDS, leukemia, all the things people were guessing on, there was nothing … thank God everything has come back negative.

“It was all caused by an inflammatory virus, something that just runs its course through your body or you can treat with medicine,” Maclin said about the source of the scare. “I didn’t need medicine. It’s just something I had to deal with.”

Now that his offseason nightmare is over, Maclin can return to an Eagles squad that has been named the “Dream Team” by more than one pundit. The Eagles were already stacked with talent, but they’ve been hyper-aggressive in the offseason, adding cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins, quarterback Vince Young, and receiver Steve Smith.

This is the second health scare the Eagles have had to deal with this preseason ? defensive tackle Mike Patterson suffered a seizure during practice in early August that was caused by an arteriovenous malformation in his brain. Reports indicate that Patterson is on the road to recovery as well.

In 2010, Maclin caught 70 passes for 964 yards and 10 touchdowns.

You can’t accuse the Detroit Lions organization of holding a grudge.

Matt Millen, who held the job title of “Detroit Lions general manager,” but executed the duties of “Sadistic Tormenter of the Detroit Lions Fan Base,” has a son-in-law who would like to play professional football. The Detroit Lions are giving him that opportunity.

Former Army running back Collin Mooney (married to Michalyn Millen; see a handsome wedding photo here) got a call from the Lions asking him to come in for a workout. Mooney’s a 245-pound power back, so with the injury to Mikel LeShoure, there may be an opportunity for him.

He’s got the support of his papa-in-law.

“He’s given me plenty of advice,” Mooney said of Millen. “He was in the league for 13 years and he knows the business. He’s got a lot of great advice he’s given me. He told me what I needed to do going into camp and the way to give myself the best opportunity to stick around. He’s helped me out a lot.”

Millen was a fine NFL player, so I’m sure he has good advice to give an aspiring NFL’er. The good news is that nowhere in that statement does it say that Millen believes Mooney would be a good NFL player, which would be a very solid indication that he would be a terrible, terrible NFL player.

Mooney’s last college season was in 2008, when he broke the school’s single-season rushing record. When he got the call from the Lions, he was serving as a first lieutenant in the Army at Fort Still, Okla. Best of luck to him.

Gracias, Pro Football Talk.

On Thursday, the New England Patriots crushed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a 31-14 win that wasn’t anywhere near as close as the score indicated. Tom Brady was rolling his offense along so well, the young Bucs had trouble keeping up ? and had no trouble admitting it after the fact.

But on at least one play, they gave it their all.

The play happened with 10:04 left in the first quarter, and the Pats at their own 39-yard line. Chad Ochocinco ran an inside route after trailing right for about 10 yards, got his arms up to catch the ball from Brady ? and got completely ‘faced by Bucs rookie linebacker Mason Foster.

The pass was incomplete ? fortunately, Ocho was complete when he got up. Foster was penalized under the “defenseless receiver” rule, the Bucs were docked 15 yards, and Foster can most certainly expect to be a little lighter in the wallet when the league sends out fines this week.

Bucs head coach Raheem Morris talked about the play of his aggressive rookie linebacker after the game.

Obviously, they’re going to err on the side of caution with the National Football League, but you don’t want to deter Mason either. We’re not going to let that be a deterrent for us in how physical we want to play. We’re going to abide by the rules, obviously, but you’ve got to keep that type of mindset in your MIKE [middle] linebacker’s mentality.

It’s bang-bang. There’s going to be some questionable ones like that all year. The human element (from the officials) is definitely going to be a factor.

But the way it’s been explained to me and all the other teams is they’re going to err on the side of caution and I don’t have a problem with it. I didn’t blink.

Here’s the play ? it’s kind of an “owie”:

However, according to the ever-magnanimous Ochocinco via his Twitter account, Foster may not have to reach for his checkbook at all:

Foster responded in kind, via his own Twitter feed:

Awww. Isn’t it nice when we can all get along?
