Every time that poor guy got sacked, how many millions did he lose out on in the future? Just a few short weeks ago, the dude was drawing up plans for a money pool to spend his offseason frolicking in, but man, will he even be a Viking, or a starter anywhere, next season?

The Ravens defense will not be able to contain the Bills offense. I think the inevitable Chiefs/Bills game will be better.

A friend pointed this one out to me:
Bobby Hull debuted for the Black Hawks in 1957 and played for them through 1972. His brother Dennis also played for the Hawks, from 1964 through 1977. That's 20 consecutive seasons with a Hull brother on Chicago's roster.

Eric Staal is getting his jersey hoisted to the rafters for the Carolina Hurricanes this afternoon and this got me thinking:
Has there ever been another scenario like the Staal brothers with the Hurricanes? For the past 20 years, this team has had at least one player from the same family playing for them. In any sport?

Tonight is the biggest bowl game of them all! rcade is probably already tailgating.
Get ready for a rare showdown in the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl as the North Texas Mean Green go head to head with the Texas State Bobcats at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas. This marks the first encounter between these two programs since 1994, adding an extra layer of anticipation to the game.

Nah, I never cheer on an SEC team, but I ain't crying over Duke getting crushed. In fact, I never even drink beer from Durham! That's a lie. I really like Durham and go there to hang out with friends as often as I am able. And my wife got a Masters degree from NC Central, so we have ties of sort to the city. A couple of decent record stores as well. Now I'm just blabbing.

My thoughts on this season's Atlanta Falcons can be visualized as a bell curve. The X axis represents time with the 0 point being summer of 2024 to the present. The Y axis represents my opinion of them with the 0 point being scorn up to a grudging respect of the team. This past summer, I was laughing at them and thanking them for making moves that somehow distracted from the shitshow that is the Panthers. Half way through the season, I had to admit that the Falcons were somehow making all of that work well. The present day, I'm back to laughing at them for going 1-4 in their last five and replacing Kirk Cousins with rookie Michael Penix.

It took me a while to make my way through that article, but it was worth every minute.
Dan Patrick has been saying the past few days that Belichick's experience as an NFL head coach and GM sets him up rather well to deal with today's NIL and transfer portal world of the NCAA and that he will put in place a staff that will work with each of them plus recruiting. OK fine, but is he able to provide enough Bojangles super tailgate specials and burgers 'n shakes from Cookout to keep his staff happy? Or will the giant chicken biscuits from Time Out be enough for them? Also, will Bill's current trophy girlfriend trust him to attend indy rock shows at the Cat's Cradle on his own? Will he be sneaky enough to dwell in the deep underground of indy rock at the Local 506 or the Cave without anyone noticing? Everyone on Franklin St is asking these questions now.
