The conspiracy theories 😆 the double-dealing Real Housewives cloak and dagger that folks think go on behind the scenes of the Commanders. You know what they're trying to do? Win. Not undermine one another. Th NFL is a VERY small community. You do that, you don't work long.

The first two weeks of the season the Falcons looked like they were working on a top 3 pick. Not anymore. They're pretty damn good.

Bryce Young did not get out of bed this morning. What a whoopin'!

Rams RB Lawrence McCutcheon passed away. Those my age remember him. In the mid -late 70s playoffs, Lawrence McCutcheon, Tony Dorsett, & Chuck Foreman were the names on the marquee. Tough, fast RBs. Lawrence McCutcheon. A name synonymous with a different, tougher NFL. Respect.

It is my first rewatch of Game of Thrones since the original run. It holds up. It IS that good. So much in it that there are many MANY new things to see in the 1st watch that were overlooked. The Hound is a bad MFer.

Police Squad is coming to Netflix. Only 6 eps. It was too funny for TV. They literally told the writers that its jokes were too fast for the avg viewer and it was cancelled. If you like the Naked Gun, this is the genesis. Airplane, Kentucky Fried Movie. See them. Corny and great.

530PM, join us for the the annual "How the hell do we get better in the Bye Week" episode of the BBP. Join me @Jessys24 @scottieh84 @TonyJWheat and @mtayman10 to talk about that and also a deep look into WHY NFL officiating is so bad. youtube.com/live/Rqd-h1OkoRk… via @YouTube

It sure is a beautiful day to get benched. The birds are shining, the sun is singing, and i just think I am so blessed to be here, in this place, today, gettin' benched. When i woke up I thought, you know, I really want an English muffin. And then I had one. It was beautiful.

We've lost Terry, which will hurt. But I think it can be mitigated. IMO our 2 TD drives in the 2nd half Monday were 2 of the best drives they put together all season, methodically working the ball against one of the best defenses. It CAN be done.

Some questions: What reasonable changes can be implemented this bye week to create improvement? What methods can a coach use to clean up penalties (our biggest problem)? Thinking caps on. How would you handle these if you're Quinn?

Y'know... we're close. They clean up their penalties, play some consistent football on both sides and the Commanders can be a much better team than they are. Their problems are discipline. And that can be taught.
