The only people delusional enough to advocate for this “reunion” were the guys on that podcast And it’s just because they *love* the word Kanye used to insult Jay-Z’s kids

An ankle sprain in 2021, a significant PCL sprain in 2022, a hamstring strain that cost him 3 games last year, and an ankle sprain that cost him 3 games this year. All this discourse over injuries that have sidelined Lamar for exactly the amount of time we expect. Are yall ok?

Colin Cowherd on Ravens QB Lamar Jackson: “Is he a more talented Kyler Murray…Lamar gets banged up a lot. That’s part of who he is. He’s about 62%, 65% of Josh Allen”

I wish players would stop bothering saying this in front of microphones, knowing it’s going to be sent out to a bunch of people who have unhealthy relationships with their profession or favorite sports team.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton on football: "It's a game at the end of the day...None of our tombstones are going to say, 'Kyle Hamilton, football player'. It's a game that we play, and we need to have fun doing it...It's just football at the end of the day. Just go play football"

Defensive tackle is definitely not a premium position. Almost all the best guys are drafted in the top 40, Final Four teams often feature elite ones, and they make more than all but 3 other positions. But other than that, not premium.

Alright Ryan Poles, you earned my respect for this one. If Jaylon Johnson can shape up over the next few weeks I’ll be ready to take this team Super Bowl-level serious.

The Bears are sending two first-round picks and a fourth-rounder to the Titans for Jeff Simmons. A monster deal.

I do think there’ll be a young enough, bold enough coach to do it. I just wonder what the physical attrition would be — much more than I consider EPA or WP returns. An 80-85% rate means taking 800-950 dropbacks. NFL average hit rate is around 15-16%. 125-150 QB hits? Idk man.
Seth Walder (@SethWalder) profile pictureSeth Walder@SethWalderOct 29
Replying to @SethWalder
I do think at some point in the near future some team with a good QB will try passing 80-85% in neutral game states and there’s a good chance it will look obvious in retrospect.

At least 8 guys in this group and instead of simulating actually trying to punch a ball out we’re doing the dizzy race

Asked to explain Justin Jefferson's low production, Kevin O'Connell notes several reasons but starts with: "I think in the past we're throwing the ball a thousand times." Indeed, the Vikings rank: No. 4 in designed run % (43.3) No. 31 in dropbacks (198)

J. Cole confirms he is no longer planning on retiring after 'The Fall Off' 🚨 “After this tour right here? Come on man, this is crazy... When I was making that album, I was making it like, 'Damn, this is going to be my last sh*t.' Luckily, by the time I got to actually finishing the album, because of circumstances, I'm like, 'Nah, I'll never say I'm going to retire.' I don't know when the next thing is going to happen, but I'm definitely not going to say no.” (via GQ)
