  1. "Available" is an odd word to choose as you attempt to sing the praises of "Star."
  2. We could get three or four fat asses for what we pay for Star McNoShow.
  3. Watch today's McDermott interview. Read between the lines. Look up "terse."
  4. You do realize that he finished last in a qualifying heat. You do realize that he was not running in the USA Olympic Trials, but that he finished last in a qualifying heat (not the finals) against a field of runners who were attempting to gain entrance into the U.S.A. Olympic Trials (where the USA Olympic entrants will be determined.) What it all means is that he ran dead last in a low-level race full of wannabes, who were attempting to secure a spot in a further race, in order to secure a spot in a further race in order to secure a spot in a further race in order to secure a spot in a further race in order to secure a spot in the Olympics where somebody from Jamaica, or Trinidad, or Timbuktu will embarrass them. It is fortunate, for Metcalf, that he did not qualify for further fields of runners where he would be totally humiliated. He is a very fast football player.
  5. As directed, starting at 44:00 I listened to one minute of that. My takeaway is that soon, and very soon, to "express" ourselves we will all just grunt and fart at each other.
  6. I fail to see why a team can't play four tackles. Aren't tackles the designated QB bodyguards? So if your best asset is Josh Allen, and you pass far more than run, why not put the best bodyguards out there? I remember the days when each team played a strong safety and a free safety. I have not heard those designations in quite a while. Perhaps the offensive line designations will fade away as well. Maybe Beane is on to something.
  7. Fred Jackson: Pass-blocking. Screens. Check-downs. Straight-arms. Leadership. And all of the above delivered with a D-3 chip on his shoulder.
  8. The O.J Simpson trade to the 49ers (in 1978) got the Bills the pick that they used (in 1983) to select Jim Kelly. It's a long story, and here it is: n 1978, the Buffalo Bills trade O.J. Simpson to the San Francisco 49ers. the 49ers traded their second- and third-round picks in 1978, first and fourth-round picks in 1979, and a 1980 second-round to acquire Simpson. That 1979 first rounder would become the number one overall pick, though at the time of the trade in 1978 no one could know that. Buffalo used those draft picks to acquire DE Scott Hutchinson and WR Danny Fulton in 1978, DE Tom Cousineau and DE Ken Johnson in 1979, and RB Joe Cribbs in 1980. The first overall pick in 1979, Cousineau would never play for the Bills, however, instead opting to go to the CFL. The Montreal Alouettes offered him twice as much money as the Bills and he headed north. When he returned to the NFL, the Bills were able to obtain the 14th overall pick in the 1983 NFL draft plus a pair of pick in 1984 from the Cleveland Browns instead of signing Cousineau to a massive deal. That 14th overall pick would become Jim Kelly, who also refused to play for the Bills and opted to head to the USFL. So it eventually worked out, but it took seven years.
  9. 'Washington Football Team' is a middle-finger to the NFL, it's minimalist, it exudes attitude, and it pisses off all the people Snyder wants to piss off. It's a flat-out grand slam.
  10. Before our very eyes, Wisdom and Enlightenment have met.
  11. "Golden Wheels" and "Cookie". The nicknames are the first thing I remember. It was probably 1962, listening to the radio when I was 9. It was love at first listen.
  12. Lee Smith, at length (with Tim Graham and Matthew Fairburn) on life in general; life in the NFL; Allen, Knox, Brady, Mahomes, etc. Warning: This may challenge your presumptions and assumptions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JudiM6U_b4I
  13. Isn't Milano the minimalist who lives on peanut butter and tuna, sleeps on a cot, and fits all his clothes into a backpack? Looks like he'll be stepping up to albacore. Perhaps he's an ironist, too?
  14. Little losers love to belittle Nate. For a fleeting moment they can tell themselves they're tall.
  15. It was the biggest mistake they made in that game (and there were many). For a couple plays in the second half, they had Lee Smith lining up as a blocker in the backfield, but they inexplicably abandoned the idea. Otherwise it was empty backfields and Allen running for his life. It was insane. This coaching staff is getting a reputation for out-thinking themselves in high-stakes games. (p.s. -- I am normally a big backer of this coaching staff, but the Chiefs game was alarming in its utter abandonment of the proven concepts which got them there.)
  16. Best fan-base moniker in the NFL. Inciting jealousy from coast to coast.
