REALLY I'M NOT JOKING - If Mitch is sick and can't play on Sunday it means we have to elevate what's-his-name from the practice squad which is an unfortunate use of a PS elevation

Remember: Bart Starr was taken in the 17th round.

And we got the first pick in the draft and took OJ

I'm more concerned that history doesn't even qualify as context, and in OJ's case particularly so, since he became - uh - "unpopular" later in life. His 1973 accomplishments should stand out in NFL history as the singular measure of RB greatness. What he did in 14 games with a good but not great team with a good but not great QB is incomparable. When someone else hits 2000 in 14 games we can talk. I love your comment "I don’t know why people are having a hard time with this, stating facts of numbers." I had a statistics professor in college who said "statistics don't lie but liars can statistic." Numbers can be presented to support pretty much any argument you want to make. But it's not a big issue. On to New England.

You're comparing Cook's best season to OJ's second-best season? In '73 OJ averaged 6 per carry and 143 per game. James has 5.3 and 100. That's the proper historical context.

Guys, get a room

You mean Tyrod?

Sherman was hilarious if you were in the target audience

I can't tell you how happy it made me to see the Eagles fans suffer last night. I still remember the obnoxious guy who sat next to my son and me at the Ralph in 2019 who was taunting all the Bills fans about the Eagles winning. Of course nobody took a shot at him to get him to shut up because this is Buffalo. Try going to a game in Philly and taunting the locals sometime. Make sure your health insurance is paid up first. I can't decide which I enjoyed more, the Hurts pick/fumble (first player in NFL history to throw a pick and fumble the ball on the same play) or the fact that the game ended with a Hurts pick at the goal line. As Allan Sherman* once said, "both great." *I'm guessing nobody gets this reference, you need to be of a certain age and ethnic background...

They should have regretted it instantly. It was insane. Beane's decision to keep his powder dry at the trade deadline may have been very wise. If you overpay for a guy who doesn't work out or gets hurt, or you take a serious injury at a key position, you've given up much more than you could ever have expected to get. (The only exception to this is the Jets. They're likely to blow these draft picks on busts or a fullback or something stupid.)

Links, please!

It's just Penix, Mills and Tua who give him fits.

How about JaMarcus Ingraham? What? Oh, never mind.
