4th rd pick is pretty significant comp for the Ravens OT. Lazar has a good film breakdown on Twitter.

How is Willie’s Rolodex NOT in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

Or his perfect mock draft?

They really asking if Romo or Bledsoe had a better career??? My god

The responses to this tweet follow a predictable path. I like TEC saying to Zolak, “I honestly don’t know what you think the right answer should be here.”

At least the Bledsoe Krishnas are no longer arguing he’s better than Brady. That’s progress, right? They’ve still don’t know how…[Read more]

“Signing Dave Meggett not only gives them a game breaker in the backfield–a must when you’re breaking in a young QB, even a generational talent and sure-bet Hall of Famer like Bledsoe–but he adds tremendous character to the locker room and off the field in general.”

This reminds me. I was on Twitter telling Upton Bell he w…[Read more]

You want to take a photo of those 3 as actual football players/coaches that’s one thing but then that fat fuck inserts himself into the photo and it’s fucking douchechills. He ruins eve…

Do I detect a hint of citrus? Allagash is still better.

How does Bertie do it? Easy. He watches games from the back of a cab, never talks to anybody so he attributes hot takes to the stadium, and likely applies the same deadbeat philosophy to his parenting.

Tuesday: At Browns’ camp, GM John Dorsey pointed to a golf cart he uses to get around camp, and to do interviews: “I just sat there with Don the other day, probably for a half-hour. He was so happy. He was just getting back into it, right? I could tell how happy he was. Had a little pep in his step. Man, he was a good interviewer. Knew exactly wha…

Fatty really should never write about anything to do with tragedies, murders, deaths, etc. Well, actually, he’s not equipped to write about anything. But especially this. Look at the fucking way he tries to get us to relate to what happened on board Flight 93:

In the span of 25 minutes, you go from daydreaming about what you’ll do on the ground i…

Fatty with an open love letter to the Rooneys today:

That something was letting Bell walk, and the trade of Brown to Oakland. I think the Steelers are better off without both. James Conner (5.4 yards per touch in 2018) was a suitable but not perfect sub for Bell, and Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster, the amiable and totally non-controversial…

Pete using ‘I woke up’ is perfect because Don Banks died in his sleep and didn’t.

Jesus, I completely missed that. He can’t help but use the absolute worst possible words. It’s savantlike, his ability to be completely inappropriate every goddamn time.

Early in his run at SI.com, I was talking to him about web traffic for my Monday Morning Quarterback column. I told him it was crushing everything on the site in whatever season it was. Then he started talking about his column, and some of his frustrations with how it was being treated on the site. I blurted out something incredibly stupid and…

The @ProFootballHOF announces it will have a special centennial class of 20 members next year.5 modern era players, 10 seniors, 3 contributors, 2 coaches. A big chance to clear the backlog of very worthy candidates.

Special watered-down “centennial class”. What horseshit. So what league sacred cow who didn’t get in the Hall before are they trying to get in now?

This has zero to do with anything going on now, but I was doing a site search and came upon Beaker’s lyrics submission when we put SMY’s name to Jose Feliciano’s Xmas song:

Brackens was who I was thinking of as Parcells choice at that spot.

So the ‘impossible dream’ was to be the runner-up? I never understood that. Like all the same folks who go on and on about Jimmy Connors in ’91 at the US Open. He made the semifinals and got smoked. yet you ask a Lupica type and they’ll wax poetic about the magic o…
