    The Frustrating, The Bad and The Ugly - Lions Edition

    And speaking of Cleveland, I don't know what the rules are, but Tucker should get his jersey number: 66.

    The Frustrating, The Bad and The Ugly - Lions Edition

    I noticed yesterday Cleveland getting into the celebrations. Really surprised me, as I think of him as pretty chill, "whatever, I'll just eat a squirrel." Love that he's that excited.

    I don't let that kind of stuff get to me. As others have said, Clark is no homer when it comes to Lamar. He's quite evenhanded in general. If the clock really did expire by as much as is shown, that is a big deal, but bad calls happen every game. The Packers wouldn't have needed that very...

    The Frustrating, The Bad and The Ugly - Lions Edition

    We were at the game in Las Vegas and Tucker was probably the second most popular jersey, behind Lamar. I couldn't imagine any other kicker ever having that kind of support. Strange to see a kicker's jersey on so many people, but understandable. My wife was wearing hers.

    It makes no sense for him to get a house there. He already owns the stadium.

    Tucker sealed his fate as a first ballot HOFer.

    Week 3 Baltimore Ravens @ Detroit Lions

    Mahomes has another pick, CEH has another fumble and the Chargers are up by 2 TDs on the Chiefs.

    I only know of masters degrees. I assume a math degree would be required - at least a good place to start.

    The Oweh, The INT and THE OMG WE DID IT!!!

    I had to check up on Gus Frerotte when you mentioned that. According to Wikipedia, the QB who intentionally ran head first into a wall is now the VP of a company called Brain Health Initiatives. Have to love that.

    I'll never tire of Tirico's call on that.

    The Oweh, The INT and THE OMG WE DID IT!!!

    I know it's a serious oversimplification, but I tend to think of the trade as 1 year of Orlando for 4-5 years of Oweh. So far, and in spite of how useful Orlando could be given the injuries, I'm thinking: Good trade.

    Lamar Jackson

    I've seen fewer than 10 games with Mahomes playing, so I can't argue that. I've just noticed it occasionally in what I have seen.

    Lamar Jackson

    I was fine with Mahomes until he started his Brady-esqe whining for flags when defenders fell near him. That was not a problem Sunday, as few defenders got particularly close to him, unfortunately. That is yet another thing to really like about Lamar. He doesn't whine. Occasionally even...

    The Oweh, The INT and THE OMG WE DID IT!!!

    My reaction to this win was reminiscent of how I felt when Flacco finally beat the Steelers for the first time. Tough game, emotional finish. If I recall correctly, that was also on a Sunday night. Unrelated, but that was also the game in which the stadium in Pittsburgh played 'What's Your...

    First Up: @ Raiders

    For those who can make a last minute trip to Las Vegas, tickets and hotel rooms are plentiful and at reasonable prices. I see a lot of tickets that are at face value, some maybe even below that.

    I also wonder if his lack of vaccination plays a role. Imagine a week where both he and Gus are out.

    Nice. I wonder if ticket prices for opening Monday plummet as anti-vaxxers dump their tickets. Might have to go after all.

    Is there a preseason thread for the Ravens?

    The 2021 Offseason Thread

    If we're really trying to trade for Tim Patrick, I assume that everything positive that's been said about the receiving corps is wrong. Or maybe neither Brown nor Bateman are coming back for a very long time. Certainly, I'm not going to trust anything Harbaugh says about injuries. Perriman...

    Any word on how bad Smith's injury is? Silver lining to this, it makes room for another young player while we have a lot of young players that seems pretty good. Also, hopefully he can come back late in the season and be ready for playoffs. He's often gone by playoff time. Would be nice to...
