The Holy Grail of NFL Secrets: The never-before-seen ruling reveals the results of both extensive discovery and a closed-door hearing with witness testimony from — deep breath — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell; three star quarterbacks (Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, and Russell Wilson); eight (!) owners; NFLPA leaders; and various powerful agents and executives. It also includes details about a closed-door presentation for all 32 NFL owners at an annual meeting, in the wake of the Cleveland Browns’ unprecedented, fully guaranteed contract for Deshaun Watson. (The trigger for this whole saga.) Pablo and Dan Patrick talk about this issue this morning.

Youtuber Isaac Punts breaks down Little's 70 yarder.

Amazing. And that explains a Bluesky post that I saw yesterday, something along the lines of "takes a drag off a smoke, tells the QB: just get me to our 45 yard line" My internal reaction was that this idiot poster doesn't know the difference between "our" side of the field vs "their" side of the field. Who's the idiot poster now? (me. the answer is me.)

Yeah, he looked good against a terrible defense that should make mediocre QBs around the league look good. He got over that low bar with no problem. So good for him.
I know I'm sounding sarcastic here, but I really am rooting for the kid. I think it would be quite the story if he was the one to lead the Browns to the Super Bowl (but lose to the Lions).

Exactly. Or making sure that their players make it home safely.

Funny thing is, we already have a cricket field that is the size required to international matches. Problem is, there's hardly any seating and I don't think there's enough space to add more. If we want big time international matches here in the Triangle, this stadium in Chapel Hill needs to be built.

Did the judge's explanation clear things up at all?

I abhor violence but I hate puffed up blowhards that are always itching for a fight, so yeah, this made me laugh. "Listen, just don't get into it with anyone these days because you don't know who is packing heat now." Needs to be updated with "...you don't know who is packing heat now or is a hockey player with a wicked sense of humor."

Paul Pierce calls himself the best pure scorer' in NBA history. Ummm, Pierce wasn't even the best "pure scorer" (whatever that's supposed to mean) in Celtics history.

Listen man, just don't run on Parker. Especially not in the 1979 All Star game. OK?

Ottawa Senators, NCC complete sale agreement for 11 acres at LeBreton Flats.
How's the bus/rail system in downtown Ottawa?
People that live in Raleigh are pining for a downtown hockey arena, but since there is no rail service and a bus service that is somehow worse than the rail situation, I would probably never go to another game. Since at least half of all in attendance don't live in Raleigh itself and most of those that do, live quite a ways from downtown, so it would be a nightmare to get in and out of the arena in a car. Besides, it would mean the death of our awesome tailgate culture that we have going on.
