  1. He'll have a "back injury" that magically heals.
  2. But but I was told by some stats geek at the Athletic that he's 22nd against the blitz or something.
  3. I think you may need to have a chat with your wife as well.... j/k
  4. My son played travel baseball at 12 with Connor Williams, the 7-foot, 360 lb center for St. John Fisher hoops who went viral on Barstool last year. Connor was 6'2", 230 then (and was a *young* 12). That said, I wouldn't be surprised if this kid is still 5'11", 200 when he's 18. You just never know. That's why it's never a good idea to extrapolate from anything in youth sports except heart, desire, and work ethic. A lot of these kids dominate when they're younger due to pure size, and then when their peers catch up they don't know how to handle it.
  5. I also remember us dropping 44 points on the Dolphins in a snow playoff game in 1990, the one where Tim McKyer challenged Jim Kelly to "throw my way" and JK happily obliged.
  6. Or Sammy Walker of the early '90s Steelers, who as it turned out was actually blind in one eye.
  7. In case you want to greet the Dolphins at the airport this afternoon and see how well blasting the AC prepared them for this. Hope Elon doesn’t ban me from Twitter…
  8. No, but if you’ve ever landed there, especially from the northwest (which will make their plane have to do a 180 at low altitude given where they’re coming from), you know it’s not the most comfortable trip down. Hope they enjoy that.
  9. People on the East Coast and below the Mason-Dixon Line close everything down for a couple of inches. They probably saw "9 inches" and wondered how it was even possible to play football. They gonna find out.
  10. As some commenters pointed out, that's like the Bills saying "it gets hot in Buffalo, too!" And it never snowed in Tuscaloosa, nor was there ever any snow on the ground, during the games that Tua played there. Dude is whistling past the graveyard.
  11. And see the Sabres games that have been postponed. Last I checked, they play inside, and only a third as many people needed to get there.
  12. Please stop with this. In neither instance was the game-day weather a factor in moving the game to Detroit. Both games would still have been moved if Highmark was a dome.
  13. Tua: "Look guys, it snows in Alabama, too." Total snow depth for Tuscaloosa for the months of November and December in 2017, 2018, and 2019 (when Tua played at Alabama): 0.0 inches. Road games that Tua played in November and December during his Alabama career: at LSU (dome) in 2018; at Mississippi State in 2019. Temperature in Starkville on that date: 52 degrees. Precipitation: zero point zero.
  14. It's the humidity. It's colder in, say, Minneapolis, but it doesn't feel the same as it does here. I really want to be at the airport when the Dolphins are getting off the plane just to see their initial reactions. With the incoming weather, I can't imagine it'll be a pleasant landing approach either. Does anyone know when they're planning to fly in?
  15. Steve Garvey too. Always love when his fans cite his fielding % to argue that he was better defensively than, say, Keith Hernandez.
  16. A week ago a Fins fan friend of mine (somehow I still have a few) told me "honestly, I have a gut feeling it's gonna be one of those Indian summer nights."
  17. Jokes aside, I just watched that. Holy crap, what was Strange doing? And good for Agholor to stop the play. We need more of that.
  18. You obviously have not been to Kansas in November.
  19. I mean, I didn’t know him well, and I don’t want to be that guy who says, “yeah, you could tell all along.” But living where I do, I know a lot of “country club nice” people who are well-mannered and friendly (as long as they get everything they want) but have troglodytic views and opinions.
  20. My daughter and their son were classmates for a few years. The wife's press conference was a sight to behold.
  21. It reminds me of when Hank Williams Jr. cited the 1st Amendment when he and all his rowdy friends got kicked off Monday Night. How'd that lawsuit go?
  22. Apologies if already posted, but it appears that the players are on board with this.
  23. And what if Steve Young had used a word that is considered derogatory toward, say, Mormons? What then? Context matters. The First Amendment does not say what you think it says.
  24. We’re 47-28 against the Dolphins since 1986. I remember this game but it blurs with so many of our other wins. My personal favorite is still the playoff game after the 1990 regular season when Tim McKyer said “I challenge Jim Kelly to throw my way” and then Kelly burned the Dolphin D for three touchdowns, including a TD to James Lofton that beat McKyer like a rented mule. I think it was after that game that Tasker said “don’t write a check with your mouth that your body can’t cash.”
