    Yes. A man has to get paid. But, this struck me as: Flores is still in the game.

    RIP Jeremy Giambi

    The second article links to the original study. It is interesting. When I was a kid it was a commonly accepted "fact" that NFL linemen suffer more life shortening consequences from playing than others. Study seems to show that BMI and other factors pull former linemen data into line more with...

    Why Doesn't the NFL Hire More Black Coaches?

    No one is clutching pearls. You make two points. The second one is a good one. I had not considered it. Your first line of reasoning, the "everyone is doing it" line of reasoning, many men choose to abandon around the time we start shaving.

    Brian Flores suing NFL, Giants over "sham" Rooney rule - "mistakenly" (?) sent Belichick text may be linchpin

    I can't imagine how hard it would be to coach after being told to lose football games. Man was alone on an island.

    AFC and NFC Championship game thread

    I liked the initial grouping. Stunning. And, it suggests to me that the loss of "60 minutes of football" sense of urgency already had been taking root going INto halftime--Coaching and QB maybe included. I suspect that losing-attitude is harder to fight on the sidelines as the latter quarters...

    Week 15 NFL Gamethread

    I thought going for 2 was the right call there. So glad you brought this up. There is no big downside to chance they miss the 2 point conversion. Right? Watching those kick-or-go-for-it decisions all game reminded me about winning at football the way that seeing a been-run-over-squirrel reminded...

    Red Sox player that you cared most about

    George Scott. In the 60's, because of his bat and his style I could always find him in the box scores or at the ballpark even though I was just a boy. When George rejoined the team my father took me to one of his first games back. George walked his first time up, and I said "That's OK, Dad. Now...

    The nation's tears are still here

    FWIW at the time I think Pats lined up (some heavy run formation? with a halfback and a fullback maybe??), and they let Mac start his count while he was reading the Buffalo's D adjustments. Then, Pat's called timeout just before a snap, or play clock ran out-- __My thought at the time was "Is...

    Pats offense: Ongoing discussion

    Maybe that's what preseason used to be. Covid limits, fewer preseason games than historical, head injury rule limits on practice-- this team's philosophy of keep improving every game through the last quarter of the last game of the season has become much more observable to fans like us. But, we...

    Folk, Bailey, and Jennings for putting his blocking clinic. Anyone who has played at any level has dreamt of making that football play.

    Tompa Bay: Tom Tom club

    I am reminded of Chapman's use in Chicago in 2016* although not obvious high leverage situation(s) for the Bucs (NB an NFL coach who resorts to blame shifting in the press might be feeling some pressure) I expected Gronk to be used on many fewer snaps than he has for TB. Gronk is in there...

    Pssssssssssssssssssssst 2020

    I woke my wife to alert her to this. She opened one eye. Saw the bid ended on the next pitch. And then quietly chastised me for jinxing it and went back to sleep. My bad.

    Covid and MLB

    Feeling this this year (aerosols). Not that MLB should be playing, just that this could be a lasting imprint of the pandemic on the game.

    2020 Schedule Thread

    New York announced the Kawasaki-Covid connection May 4. That May 1 doc is based on mid-April data. The good news is our knowledge about this disease is rapidly evolving. But the risks for kids is still unknown. It wasn't even mentioned in the Senate yesterday, but it strikes me that even if...

    Develin retires

    Great video. Great illustration of a team player. That Superbowl LIII hit with Suh at 1:36. Uhh. I am grateful for Devlin's career. I understand his family's need for him at home. edit: kelpapa noted the Suh Superbowl play upthread.
