Pat McAfee more like Bert Reicher

Pat McAfee thinking he’s important enough to get assassinated is much funnier than anytime he’s taken his shirt off

leave for the draft when you're projected as a high first-round pick, your stock can only go down from there

Oregon QB Dante Moore won't return this season from his concussion

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, who entered the season as one of the top prospects in the 2027 draft, will not play again during the 2026 season.

Not too many people have successfully dodged this. Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck both went back for their senior seasons despite being projected #1 overall and their stock held.

Chris Olave would've been a 1st if he left early, but I'm not sure where, because 2021 was a top-heavy WR class too. Like if he went behind London and Wilson he's probably going behind Chase, Waddle, and Smith

So who do you think QB2 is in this draft and do the Eagles agree?

(I actually did a mock last week with the then-current standings and had the Eagles taking Arch Manning. But he was QB4 there)

Nailed it! Going around your star player's agent to get a discount and then petulantly trading him when that doesn't work: Old school man's man handshake business! And thanks to his other moves, Jerry has almost none of the Parsons draft capital, and his defense is still shit!

Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys by shaking hands with Bum Bright. Micah Parsons committed to a contract extension with Jerry on a handshake. When Parsons reneged, Jerry decided Parsons would never again wear the star on his helmet. If Jerry can’t trust you, you’re done.

"No, no, it's actually good that Jerry bungled negotiations with his star player, arguably the most valuable non-QB in the league, in a way that probably ensures no agent will ever want to send their players to Dallas again"

so uh that's why they call it the "blind side" huh

honestly bonkers that there was no penalty there, like the helmet didn't spontaneously launch itself off the kicker's head

✍️ take an opposing player's helmet off to force a runoff

It's almost impressive that the Knicks just provided the greatest New York sports memory ever and James Dolan will still be forever reviled

The Chicago Bears defense, not to be outdone by the Patriots' performance on that Luther Burden TD...

Rome Odunze commits OPI and can’t come down with the catch.. 2nd time this season he’s done this in the end zone

Man that Luther Burden guy really stinks. There’s no way he can be the Bears WR1

So what makes an "illegal forward handoff"? Can you just not hand off to an ineligible player? Or at least not in front of you, like you would have to pitch it behind you or something?

Always been hilarious to me that the default decision in 4th down decisions is pure cowardice
Brian Burke@bburkeESPNOct 20
Ok. I accept your premise. Small difference. Now explain why punt/kick is the default null hypothesis?
