Can someone explain why all of the commentators and announcers use just “Baker” for Baker Mayfield? I don’t watch pregame or cable shows much, but it’s always “Baker” when I’ve heard it. I don’t quite get that.

Condolences, Clem. ? We had my mum’s funeral five years ago today, 61 from pancreatic-area cancer.

My dad was a rural carrier until just a few years ago. The USPS has agreements with FedEx to deliver some certain packages on the final leg of their journey, which includes in the mailbox, so that wouldn’t be against the law. Just looked it up, it’s termed SmartPost. Just FYI. Word is that this agreement may be ending this year.

So, she’s going to play the ’my husband is the worst human being alive’ card in an attempt to get the kids and alimony. Sounds like the trauma inflicted on the kids has come from HER. And how about that last sentence? “For REAL victims of domestic violence”... as if her husband was not just a victim of domestic violence. What a POS.

In essence, this is what the league has tried to do with replays going through NY central office & Riveron. In this way the idea would be achieving consistency. The implementation of it, however, has been a complete disaster, especially WRT PI calls & non-calls. At this point, I’m 100 percent certain that the league uses refs to both favor certain teams & players or as a way to nudge keeping game scores closer for viewership / ratings. I haven’t watched NHL much in awhile, but it seemed to me that in the new era, the refs there aren’t the media whores they are in the NFL. And it’s a consistent job rather than 16 games a year. It might be an idea to just lock away the replay people and give them no info on what the original call was and no contact with the refs on the field other than delivering a verdict. That might help, both in actual bias or perceived bias.

Awesome series. Is the military operative lead the same actor as the king in the Bud Light ads?

Kevin Johnson was out at CB2 last drive. this drive is Wallace. See the difference?!?!!!

Can someone tell Daboll that it’s not one or the other, all run or all pass?

Seconded on using checks, for that reason. It happened at my brother’s wedding in the late ‘90s. We have no idea who did it and sets a marriage off on a very unpleasant course. Cash is too easy to disappear to light fingers and there is NO safety net of cancelling checks or the thief just not being able to cash them. In this day and age, it’s a good idea to have some kind of security camera set up at the gift / envelope table. This truly is a fallen world.

Guy is getting torched week after week. He is the weak link in an otherwise solid backfield. I know this is a league that's tilted in favor of offenses. Opponents will get catches. But, man, he's giving it up left and right, and weak in run support to boot. Taron or Kevin Johnson, anyone? Then again, it wasn't helping that even Tre White was giving Beckham 10-yard cushions from the line. Seriously?

Why?!?!!!!

Probably, occasionally it’s a chair, occasionally it’s an impromptu bookcase / clothes-hanger / step stool, and occasionally it’ll swallow your dog and stuff like in “Little Shop of Horrors.” #FeedMeMorris

Foster didn’t impress with his ball tracking on the long throw last week. That would’ve been huge. He overran the ball when, if he were tracking, he stops short and hauls it in. Rusted on the bench. McKenzie at least shows something.

The Dolphins were allowed by the NFL to do an aqua version of their popular throwback jersey. Would that we could do the same for our throwback.

Having read some of the spoilers that are out there, including an image on reddit that appears to corroborate some of the arc WRT Kylo, I can understand the treatment of Rey’s backstory to this point.

Yes, after they gave short shrift to the last season of GOT so they could capitalize ?, I can’t say that I was very enthused. Commit to something FULLY and see it through to a satisfying end without rushing / coasting.

The whole DL is trash.

Trent Murphy = USELESS.

Yup. The clock already keeps ticking after an in-bounds run or catch. In the college game, on a first down, they stop the clock until the ball is reset by the refs. That’s how it should be in the pros too, but whatever.

I donated last week for the first time. Found out my blood type is A+; never knew what it was before.

Well... if Henry Anderson cheap-shots Brady’s knees 5 seconds after the throw while staggering around like a drunk guy, as he tried to do with Josh.... Video link: https://mobile.twitter.com/salsports/status/1171256590139346944?locale=hi

You have to keep Brady off the field by controlling time of possession, and that can (or even MUST) include the running game. Then hope your defense can stop them once or twice. And no bloody turnovers.

That’s what I did when I got an Elite (~$300) throwback jersey. I picked a favorite number and have my last name on back. It’s going to last a long time. I don’t want the name of some dude who may not be there next week in the revolving door that is the modern / free agency NFL. If anyone has a problem with this, they can pound sand. I went to my first game at Rich/Ralph/NE Field back in 1997, and while walking through the lot, some drunk started in about me wearing my authentic Kelly jersey, saying I should get a current player. **** that and **** him. Wear what you want. You and I are not there to impress anyone with our fashion choices.
