Ugh. Mouth/tooth pain is downright awful. I hope that you can get this safely dealt with soon, Howard.

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.

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)

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.

Yep, that's how bad Buffalo sports fans are. When you have Antonio Brown (fire up, Chips!) calling you out, then you need therapy right friggin' now.

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."

Bryce...actually looked good today. It's obvious that the game is starting to slow down for him and he's getting comfortable. I just hope he can continue to progress the rest of the season so the team can draft some good receivers or something.

Miami Dolphins' De'Von Achane on why he chooses to wear a guardian cap on his football helmet:
When asked by the Miami media this week about his decision to wear a guardian cap this season, De'Von Achane replied, "My quarterback thinks my name is Tanner. I've corrected him plenty of times, but he still looks at me every time and defaults to Tanner ... " Achane said scanning the room for recognition. "So... Let's just say I'm doing what I can to protect myself, and I hope Tua does too down the road. Before another hit turns me into Preston."

1) How crappy do you think that Bryce Young is feeling today after a game where he looked pretty good. I guess when the Saints arrived back in New Orleans, the GM was like, "YOU LOST TO *THAT* QUARTERBACK?! GET OUT!!" Bryce, brother, you did actually look pretty good yesterday.
2) I gotta say, I gave the Falcons a whole ton of shit before the season started with what looked to be some awful moves during the Summer, but dang, those moves are looking pretty good right now.
3) As a lifelong Lions fan that will always be a pessimist when it comes to the team, I gotta ask: Are they really *that* good this season?
