I go back and forth, but the more I think about the draft the more I see it is one event, not so much the rounds. In other words, there's a few hundred college players. You take turns picking (and make trades). At the end, you want the best bunch possible, however that happens. If the 5th, 6th, and 7th round guys are great but your 1st and 2nd aren't, who really cares? You want a few impact guys. Of course, the idea is that a different guy picked 1st AND those 5th, 6th, and 7th guys still being good is better, but you just want good players. There are too many factors that affect a players' success to expect more than a certain success rate in the draft.

That sounds cool, and probably also a great choice for people in more rural areas who can't get cable for internet. A bunch of years ago when we were buying a house there were several places where it was slow as molasses satellite internet or nothing... glad times have changed!

I don't see Rodgers getting 400 yards. He is efficient, has a great TD/INT ratio a lot of times, buy doesn't pile up yardage the way some guys do. Last year Brady was awful and had a losing record. End of the 3rd quarter he has like 120 yards passing. Then after the game you look and he ended up with like 390 yards passing and the Bucs lost 19-13 or something.

What's amazing to me is how mediocre to poor the Chiefs WR are. this year. It's basically Kelsey and a bunch of practice squad level guys.

Wow, I had no idea it was that fast! What about using it as a primary method of obtaining broadband for streaming though? If you're out in the country and use it for Netflix, for example, are there data caps to deal with? I would assume, perhaps wrongly, that the cable company advantage is that nobody worries about how much data is being used vs. using 5G.

Many people have said that Spectrum is telling people who call to switch to a streaming service, which I think is an interesting window into the future. IMO this is the future of cable. They know that in order to stream you need a fast internet connection, and for the vast majority of people that means using cable. There isn't going to be real competition in this area in terms of wires/cables due to the enormous cost. Cable is already there in most cities, towns and villages. Someone new coming in would have to invest billions to get up and running, and it's not worth it most of the time. There are little pockets here and there of fiber optic, but that's way too expensive to ever take over. So, if you're the cable company, simply switch your business model. Your cables are installed in every American city, town and village, and even some rural areas. So just become a broadband provider and up the cost of that product while cutting ties with all the networks that hold you up every couple of years with carriage disputes. You can massively downsize your company in terms of workforce, focus on broadband, a product you control completely and is necessary for any streaming to work. Starlink could shake things up, but we'll see. The speed needs to work well for streaming.

Toney cannot catch

Goff throws a 2 yard pass like Favre trying to thread the needle

Andy Reid is a legitimate GOAT candidate as HC

Go Lions! I love how they have a give zero cares attitude and just roll

Fair enough, I guess I just remembered that game entirely wrong!

silly question maybe, but who decides on the weekly uniform combos? Is it Beane or McDermott? Pegula? Someone in PR/marketing? I like the combo, just curious.

This is worrisome to me because last year after the Titans game Hyde suddenly had an injury and then he was done for the year when nobody seemed to even realize he was hurt. We need Hyde for the playoff run.

Pat McAfee did an entire segment on how Burrow's playoff stats are almost identical to Kirk Cousins playoff stats. Burrow is great no doubt, but his playoff success has everything to do with the fact that the Bengals play a physical, tough style of football that is a matchup nightmare for the Bills and Chiefs. In fact, last playoff run the Ravens with their backup QB pretty much dominated the game until Huntley fumbled the game away at the 2 yard line with the game tied in the 4th quarter. Ravens score 7 there and it's lights out for Joe Cool and company and the Ravens advance. But that's how narratives are written. Burrow has the "it factor" because the Ravens backup QB fumbled the ball at the Bengals 2 yard line and it was returned for a TD. All game the Ravens defense basically shut him and the Bengals offense down. Chiefs and Bills have never really had a game like that where they shut the Bengals down, because the Ravens are a tough as nails team that will stop the run and can run the ball themselves. Bills and Chiefs are high flying teams that score a lot of points and rely on that to beat you.

Hit a home run on the QB pick and you're a winner and a great GM. It's not really that simple but it's that simple.

Look on the bright side... Sal Capaccio will be working overtime tomorrow to make it sound like it was a great game, so driving to work will be entertaining. My takeaway is it's preseason. Nobody really cares about these games except the fringe players trying to win a roster spot. All these games are is 3 more chances for guys to get hurt.

The Rodgers experiment in NJ will either go great or it'll be an unmitigated disaster. I don't see an in between case. I think Rodgers is going to be very good there. As far as trading for Bahktiari I just don't see the point. They guy is never healthy and if he manages to get through a game he's out the next 8 weeks.

I don't follow college football that closely, so although I knew he was a star in college I guess I never realized how big of a star he was. To me, he comes off as an unlikeable tool even in this film. The part about him not enjoying his NFL stint was interesting. I can only imagine inserting an obnoxious entitled party dude with an enormous ego and absolutely zero work ethic (and seemingly proud of it) into a room of competitive professionals who basically live work and breathe football wouldn't go over very well. He wasn't happy in Cleveland, almost right away. Poor kid had to actually go to work for once, and his teammates didn't worship him for doing keg stands. It was a little hard to take, honestly.

especially when with 53 players on a team, plus coaches, there is always some narrative the league can celebrate

If there was a dome included you can be sure the cost overruns would be even bigger

I think the Bills new stadium is perfect for WNY. Football belongs outdoors.

Sadly, the Bills got dominated in the Washington and first Dallas Super Bowls. Refs weren't really a factor. Those teams were like going up against a Pro Bowl squad that cared about the game.

Rodgers could very well have an MVP type season. Same with Allen, though. I could see the Bills and Jets being the teams from the AFC East in the playoffs. I think it's going to become quite clear that Green Bay's recent success was largely due to Rodgers. He had mediocre (or worse) coaching his entire time there and an openly hostile GM who seemed bent on messing with him and not building an offense. Not to say Rodgers isn't a weird guy, but things got personal there and pride got in the way. Green Bay is about to be bad for a long, long time, and it will be hilarious to watch, not because of the fans, who are great overall, but because of the arrogance of the organization.

Rodgers is going to be very good on the Jets, but it might take 5-6 games for them to get clicking on offense.

This could be a dumb question, because I don't follow the thumbtacks. Is that Titans stadium actually trying to look like a turntable because of the music city theme?
