Juan Soto does what he said he was going to do
Soto's bluntness in that post-Series presser cracks me up. He didn't even try to make it sound like it would be hard for him to sign elsewhere.

Juan Soto does what he said he was going to do
It is interesting how many of the Nationals' stars of the 2019 championship team (*) or +/- a year have found their way to other NL East teams:
- Juan Soto (Mets) *
- Max Scherzer (Mets, though not anymore) *
- Trea Turner (Phillies) *
- Bryce Harper (Phillies)
- Kyle Schwarber (Phillies)

Juan Soto does what he said he was going to do
The Mets will be paying two guys something like $55 million a season (in total, not each) for 10 years and one of them retired back in 2001.

Joe Flacco may be elite, but not *that* elite

Juan Soto does what he said he was going to do
If you had any doubt, it's worth rewatching his final postgame press conference from October:
Reporter: "There's a perception that you would rather stay in New York than go elsewhere, is that correct?"
"Um, I don't think so. I mean, I'm really happy with the city, the team, how these guys do, but we're going to look at every situation, every offer that we get, and take a decision from there."
Reporter: "Do you expect the Mets to come in?"
"I don't know what teams want to come after me, but I'll be open to this and every single team. I don't have any doors closed. I'm going to be available to all 30 teams."
Reporter: "Will it be tough to leave here? I know you love playing with Judge and love the guys here."
[pause] "Leaving any place that is a winning team is always hard. This place was really special, it's been a blast... but at the end of the day, we'll see what's going to happen."
Reporter: "Do the Yankees have any advantage in signing you, based on what you experienced here?"
"I feel like every team has the same opportunities."

Love this idea! It's so easy to get caught up in all the big headlines, but it's the smaller stories and unique plays that really make sports interesting. Looking forward to sharing and discussing those hidden gems
happy hour

People who support the fugitive health care CEO gunman are holding lookalike contests in NYC and as far as I can tell, Joe Flacco has not entered the competition.

And the Avs/Canes game hit the over. Albeit the dumbest O/U at 6.5. Come on man, that game had 5-2, 4-3 written all over it before the puck even dropped. It ended 5-3. I was happy to steal that $11 last night. (I just do $5 bets every once in a great while)

Don't have to be a Lions fan to like it, though.

Ryan Leaf has done the most remarkable 180 in life. He is extremely real and listenable.
I hope he gets more gigs of his own in due course, although he's a great sub.
Sometimes when he subs on the Eisen show, I'll see a clip of it pop up on YT and watch it in disbelief.
I say to my self: Dis Be Leaf.

I kind of feel like that the Vikings and Bills would keep finding ways to not win the game and the commissioner finally steps in and stops the game ala Bud Selig with the 2002 All Star game.

I thought the fans were supposed to be great but Tom Brady said the hotel rooms were no good.
Guess we have to revise that line of thinking.
I sincerely hope that the Bills or Ravens win the Super Bowl this year so we can get all that pent up fan frustration out of the way.
No, I take that back, I really want the Lions to win.
I would enjoy a Vikings - Bills Super Bowl though. Someone would finally be winning the big one after four fails. As long as they don't bring Tarkenton into it.

When you're an 8 year old cancer patient at your first NFL game, being pushed down the stairs by a drunk Bills fan is painful enough.
Then, as your story goes viral, Antonio Brown weighs in and offers to help raise awareness.

The thing is, it seems as if everyone around the league just loves the guy. His greeting with Sean Payton before the game was a lot of fun. And it looks like Howard has a new prayer to say every Sunday: "Lord, deliver me from pick sixes."

I don't think there is a greater living embodiment of the first two lines of "A Tale Of Two Cities" than Jameis Winston.
Yardage, savvy decisions, TD's, WTF's, devastating team killing picks.
As Stefon from Saturday Night Live would say, he's got everything.
He even tossed in one of his patented backward puppet falls when he got trucked during the runback of the second pick six.
If you want entertainment value combined with Lord-help-us-all moments in the current post-election period, Jameis is the man of the moment.
