I just went back and checked the continuous post-game live stream from the Vikings-Rams game and Sam Darnold is still holding the ball.

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?

And speaking of next season, will Deion be coaching the Cowboys? And if so, how many warnings will be issued to all non-Cowboys teams on drafting Shedeur?

The Darnold thing has been coming for a little while. He was barely getting the ball out before being sacked in prior weeks. Bug eyes and happy feet. His OL must be gassed.

Last night there was a swell of chatter about the Cowboys poaching Belichick from UNC but folks close to Dallas said Jerry would never pay the $10 mil. buyout.

Belichick made $20 mil. a year as HC of the Pats. He could probably cover the buyout if he wanted to go to Dallas.

One more day in the life when content desperados like Eisen and McAfee don't have to worry about what they're going to fill up the time with.
