I'm not much of a twit, but can't you just tag him in a tweet, then he'll see it?

didn't the Pats* also give up 2 TDs on offense? I think their defense has only yielded 2 TDs.

I'll give him credit that he certainly was booing them. And consistently. However, he was out-kicked by their guy, like 49 to 43 net. Also, although a 64 yard touchback is acceptable, you'd certainly like better net results in that situation. As I recall, the other TB was like 55, which IMO is about the ideal situation to yield a great punt; a net of 35 in that situation is sub-par.

I would assume the different colour jersey is the captain, or it makes it easier to ensure the opponent is rotating?
The contrasting jersey is worn by a player referred to as a "libero". Briefly, they're a defensive specialist (good at passing) & special rules apply to them. The contrasting jersey allows them to be better identified by the refs.

The link on Bb_dot_com looks to be about the same length & no one asks about the blocked punt. Clearly an instance of being out-coached that was the difference in the game between 2 very good defenses.

Basically, you have a smart ST play taking advantage of a stupid one. Left footed punter, they had 2 guys coming in able to block the punt on the left. Demarco took out the inside one (the one w/ the shorter path in); the outside one still made it. Ideally, a punter sees he's about to get blocked & does something (shuffle punt, abort & run). The low snap may have inhibited his ability to do so (but again, is he smart/experienced enough to decide whether or not to kick it).
I haven't seen the replay, but was our gunner uncovered? If so, that's a major FUBAR mistake. He should either be thrown to or come into block.

Two possible scenarios as to why she would cooperate w/ the NFL.
1) The claims have minimal merit & she's just doing it to "spite" AB.
2) The claims are legit & she is then using the NFL and it's considerable resources to substantiate her claims gratis.

For battery powered, I have several Milwaukee M18 tools. Very happy w/ them. I've used them side by side against Dewalt & think they're superior. For corded, I have a mix. I have a few Makita tools that are still going strong after over 30 yrs.

I think you need to judge kickers on a sliding scale as kicking has improved TREMENDOUSLY over time. Although not strong legged, Norwood was among the best historical kickers of his era for several yrs. Christie was also good though I don't know if up to that measurement. Although it was before my time, & he was only w/ the Bills for a short time, Googalak was for a short time, at a level beyond any of his peers.

I sent response Aug 1, regarding pickup/delivery, I made the change as requested
No, I inquired about email address to send Paypal to (you only mentioned Venmo). As I've seen above, looks like it's the same for Paypal. I will pay you $13 momentarily. Thanks.

The battle might be over, but I'd say there's < 50% chance Bojo is our punter come week 1.

I sent a message/question to the email address a couple days ago. Is it valid? Haven't received a response yet. Thanks.

1 XL please. Most likely shipped (I won't be at the opener, but might be able to arrange someone to fetch it for me).
And I was just thinking it's about time to whittle down my t-shirt collection. :DOH:

What, is "Shady Brady" already taken? Can't afford the royalties?

Eh, all he does is catch TDs.

I caught someone (Beane, maybe probably) recently in an interview type thing mentioning it w/out a defined date, saying something like "sometime next week". I thought that odd in that it was someone that should know when it would be. So perhaps, quite recently, they still hadn't set a firm date.

I was made aware awhile ago, that the Steelers have only had 3 coaches since before I was aware what football was (Not quite since I was born; Noll started in like '69). That's like 50 yrs!

As I recall, he wasn't that good as a rookie, but showed promise. His 2nd yr he was pretty good. He regressed once Castillo came & they changed schemes. I think the new OL coach should have a strong say as to whether or not he's worth trying to salvage for the $.

I still sometimes sing it (sorta to myself). I've got it on a cassette somewhere (recorded off the radio).

I was wondering if he wasn't going to get fined for "criticizing" the official. As I understand it, you're not supposed to publicly criticize their performance & him admitting that he got there early implies he's stating they made the wrong/lack of call.

He never explains his formula in quantifying, but the results are not pretty.
It has been explained in the past. He takes all the teams rankings in numerous categories (1-32; obviously 1-x back when there were <32 teams) & adds them up. Team w/ the lowest cumulative points is the best, the most worst, etc.
Actually, if you read the article you linked, there's a better description there:
QuoteThe Jets finished first in the NFL special-teams rankings compiled annually by Rick Gosselin for the last 39 years. The league’s 32 teams are ranked in 22 kicking-game categories and assigned points according to their standing – one for best, 32 for worst. The Jets compiled 231 points to finish 11 ½ points better than the runnerup New Orleans Saints.

Steve Freeman maybe? I think he was free rather than strong.

What might make sense is an "intern" type position during training camp. During the season, coaching is probably like a 100 hr/wk job. Not something you take on when you wanna be w/ your family. An intern position would only be for a few weeks & likely wouldn't require as much of a commitment during that time.

Oliver snap counts up slightly vs Browns, Liuget with 2x as many as Taylor had last week

Too lazy to add them up, but I'd be curious if that's ALL the defensive snaps taken.
Only 5 DBs & w/ the top 4 missing a few plays each, that means that we didn't play nickel often.
