Paul George is not long for the Pacers and everyone is freaking out.

The best of the Internet, plus musings by SI.com writer, Jimmy Traina

1. Paul George has told the Pacers he will not play for the franchise after next season.

Trade rumors are flying.

Cavaliers fans are freaking out.

Lakers fans are thrilled that George reportedly wants to join their team.

Other fans are confused as hell.

All fans can do right now, though, is wait for this to all play out. However, retailers don't have to wait. They can cut ties with George now. That's what The Shop Indy has done. In fact, they've gone all the way, discounting George merchandise by 100%.

4. Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola spent the weekend in Mexico City. The Patriots wideouts got a taste of the culture when they became lucha libre wresters.

5. Meanwhile Edelman and Amedola's teammate, Rob Gronkowski, spent the weekend in Las Vegas. You can imagine how that went.

6. Russell Westbrook likes to take charge on the basketball court and on the dance floor.

7. TIM TEBOW UPDATE: Andy Gray told you about Tebow being the butt of a lot of jokes this weekend in today's Hot Clicks. We're here to give you Tebow's stats since the first half of his baseball career is in the books: He's batting .224 with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs and 66 strikeouts in 60 games.

8. Seth Rollins has landed on the cover of the new WWE2K18 video game.
