According to a press release I just received, Congressman @RepPatRyanNY demands the FTC investigate Collectors’ attempt to monopolize in the grading space. This could get interesting. #thehobby @Paul_Lesko @stalegum

35 years ago today:
The Twins are gonna win the World Series ...
The Twins have won it!
It's a base hit.
It's a 1-nothing,
10-inning victory!

From ESPN Research: The Packers' 419 yards rushing (59.9 per game) are the second-fewest by any team in the first seven games of a season in the last 35 years.
Only the 2019 Bengals had fewer (372) in their first seven games. That Bengals team finished 2-14.

#Packers C Sean Rhyan, who left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, sources say.
X-Rays were negative, and he has an MRI today. But high-ankle sprains are often 4-6 week injuries.

Matt LaFleur said Trey Smack will be the kicker going forward. Still has faith in the rookie because of what he’s seen from him.

Matt LaFleur treaded lightly with the officials but players in the locker room didn’t hold back.
No one more outspoken than Xavier McKinney, who said “it’s kinda fucking up the game.”
“I would rather get fined trying to help my team.”

You will never guess which one was a flag
These NFL refs are somehow getting worse each week

@NFL @NFLOfficiating let’s just go to flag football if everytime a qb gets touched it’s roughing the passer!
Going into the season, the last thing on the minds of the #Packers’ brass was looking for a new kicker after Week 7. But here they are.
