Guy spends 16 years as a local ambassador for Best Buddies, moves to a new role while allowing new people to become involved in the program. He should be lauded for his work. Instead it’s more evidence he’s leaving, not a good look, etc. what a cesspool.

The Lions are going to be in a tough spot with Patrica. The record isn’t there but each loss has been by one score, so they are competitive. I would bring him back for another year and see if things turn around record wise. I think they will.  He’ll likely get fired, though and the Lions will continue to spin their wheels.

I’m at least enjoying Son of Bum’s defense get picked apart while McVay’s star fades as his face is jammed in the play sheet.

If you’re the Bengals do you take a guy like Joe Burrow from LSU at #1? Justin Herbert? You’d be smarter to take a guy like Chase Young or that tackle from Georgia – Thomas I think – because you colossally blow everywhere but I’d shocked if they didn’t go QB. I can’t see Tua going #1 but will have to see what it looks like with his…

I was looking at the Pats schedule. Browns, Ravens and Eagles all get byes before playing New England. Houston gets some extra rest with a Thursday game. I’m too lazy to look up other teams but that wrinkle seems high compared what would be seen across the league.

Count me as surprised that Brian is familiar with White Rabbit.

On a different topic than the Patriots Monday night win and Sanu, I came across an interview yesterday with former defensive back Donte Whitner on a NBC Sports affiliate in DC. The main topic of the clip was Whitner criticizing former Redskins coach Jay Gruden and his staff. What stood out to me, though, was one host was wearing a…

Even that had a tinge of exigency over erudition.

how did an editor allow that sentence.

Reading those clips take about having it both ways. The Pats only bring in retreads (which is something they’ve always done). Oh they spent a high pick, well, that really doesn’t count.

Just awful. I wonder if BHolmes left the name of the person tha…[Read more]

Second bullet

The Cowboys and Rams are both 3-3, and I’ll tell you which one to worry about.

“I’ll tell you…”

No instant knee jerk call here. Years of professional bullshitting has set me up perfectly for this moment.

Wasn’t that the second time Roethlisberger got in trouble for an illegal thing on the sidelines. He misses so many games, you’d think he’d know the rules.

Glanced over that Reilly schtick, I suppose every generation rants about how great things used to be but christ these people can’t ever get better at anything. Not that Reilly was ever any good mind you, but Pete and others still talk about how important newspapers are and no, they aren’t. There’s better technology and mediums to ge…

How’s the kickball team doing? Will they be cutting costs as well?

Just got fined £200,000 for fielding an illegal player in a cup match. Raise ticket prices.

I’m still on board with the Vic Fangio hire. It was a smart, long-haul move to bring in a no-nonsense, respected adult in the room by John Elway

He’s 0-4 as a first time head coach at age 60 and he’s a “long-haul” move? I’d also question the ‘respected’ aspect as the players have already tuned him out. Chris Harris practically ask…

I loved watching the Cubs go down the drain, same with the Phillies.

They should bring Theo back to draft/build up the farm only. They should send him on a forced vacation the day after the Series through the signing of every last free agent, then allow him back in the building.

Speaking of the Phillies, overpaid and…

Who would’ve guessed that after ten years of tinkering the rules to please non-football fans, the games are starting to get choppy?

The Dana Jacobsen bit yesterday reminded me of Bonnie Bernstein after the 2003 national championship game Kansas v. Syracuse. The North Carolina job had recently opened up and Bernstein told Roy Williams she was going to ask him about it before they went to air and Roy expressed his displeasure that she would ask. Of course she…

Did the Quarterback Whisperer take credit for Daniel Jones’ performance yesterday. Surely he told him something pregame.

Love seeing the Cubs lose four at home to their top rival and end their playoff chances.

Doesn’t seem like there’s much noise around Jerry Jones not following the rules for negotiation. I guess the main thing is he got him in a room.

Reading Grand Theft Klemko’s piece on Brown. I don’t cotton to shortchanging or stiffing vendors but this is the same industry that got a case of the meat sweats over the mere mention of Joe DiMaggio. And this

I’m impressed that, living in Brooklyn now, you can find a great selection of so many regional beers at almost every bar/restaurant in the neighborhood, by the way.

he’s better than a parody.
