Chargers Team Doctor Punctured Tyrod Taylor's Lung: Broadcasters during the Chargers/Chiefs game on Sunday were mystified by the last-minute absence of quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who wasn't on the injury list but did not make the start. Coach Anthony Lynn revealed that Taylor missed the game because the team doctor accidentally punctured his lung while administering a painkiller injection for Taylor's cracked ribs. He's out indefinitely.

It was a tough game to predict. Both teams had road games last week, but the Bills played on Sunday night instead of afternoon and had to travel further to play a tougher opponent. Sometimes, those contributing factors add up to make enough of a difference.

Last night the Titans played like they did in 2019 when Vrabel benched Mariota, named Tannehill the starter, and Derrick Henry woke up during a thunderstorm and began destroying the laboratory.

Despite the wide availability of sandstone at no cost, some people insist on not receiving any for reasons they are not fully able to articulate. These include Kyrie Irving and former WSU coach Nick Rolovich.

I remember Ted Turner and Jane Fonda falling asleep during big moments of Atlanta playoff games during in the team's 90's heyday. Eventually the broadcast producer quit showing them on camera. Someone must have gotten a phone call.

The most widely disliked people find redemption in college ball.
Lane Effin' Kiffin is only one win behind Saban in the SEC column.
And Mike Leach is only one win and one loss behind Kiffin.
Schiano was welcomed back by Rutgers.
Meanwhile, Jim Leavitt has been a coordinator for an age and a half. Someone needing a HC will come calling eventually. Maybe it'll be Denton.
Then there's Urban.

If Gruden wants to coach college ball, there's probably a program that's willing to hire him.
Bobby Petrino is still hanging in there, going from job to job.
The hope is that the broader reporting surrounding the Gruden situation will force the league to go after Daniel Snyder and his organization with greater fervor. The Washington Post is doing their part. They realize that Goodell might not act unless critical information is made public. Especially when the action involves one of the most valuable franchises in the league.

I decided to stop organizing a biscuits and gravy emotional support fundraiser for Lions fan NoMich when I found out that his Panthers had acquired Stephon Gilmore.

Being an old fart, I wasn't aware of JNCO jeans.
Of course I had to go check them out.
The first thing that crossed my mind when I saw them was "Michigan Fab Five". Down to the ankles.
I think I'll remain a Relaxed Fit Lee jeans customer.
If I went any baggier than that, me walking down the street would get the same reaction as Urban Meyer walking out of a team meeting.

Urban Meyer: "It feels great to be in Ohio. Visit the grandkids."
As fate would have it, he got caught on video in the midst of an ongoing large scale sting operation dubbed "Operation Ohio Knows".
To borrow from the late Dr. John:
"I was in the wrong place, and it must have been the wrong time".
