Slow draft: https://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/forum/12-geek-homers/

https://www.tmz.com/2026/02/09/tracy-scroggins-dead-nfl-player-detroit-lions/ Tracy Scroggins, who spent all 10 seasons of his career as a member of the Detroit Lions, has died at 56 years old, TMZ Sports has learned. "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Tracy Scroggins," the Scroggins family said in a statement sent to us. "Tracy was a devoted father, cherished family member, and loyal friend whose life was marked by remarkable strength and perseverance. While many knew him for his career as a professional football player in the NFL, those closest to him knew him as a kind-hearted and generous man who cared deeply for his family and friends." The family continued ... "Playing in the NFL gave Tracy the opportunity to pursue his lifelong dream and to rise from poverty. However, unfortunately, the NFL was also ultimately the cause of his untimely demise. Tracy spent every moment of retirement courageously battling the devastating effects of CTE. While our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that he is finally at peace." Back in 1992, Scroggins, a linebacker and defensive end, was a 2nd round draft pick out of Tulsa, where he went 53rd overall. Over the course of his time in the National Football League, he accumulated 321 tackles and 60.5 sacks. He also had one interception. Scroggins retired from football in 2001 after 142 games played. In 2016, he filed a lawsuit against the NFL, alleging CTE. The cause and circumstances surrounding Scroggins' death aren't clear. Story developing ...

Impressive IMO... https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/47868788/nyu-women-team-sets-div-iii-mark-82nd-straight-win NYU now stands alone atop the Division III women's basketball record book with 82 consecutive victories. The Violets (20-0) beat Carnegie Mellon 69-58 on Sunday to break a tie with rival Washington University of St. Louis, which won 81 games in a row from 1998-2001. "Thrilled we beat Wash U for that record," NYU coach Meg Barber said in a phone interview after the victory. "I'm a competitive person and wildly respect this league and to have any type of streak is incredible." Barber knows first-hand about the record her team broke, having been a player at NYU when the team's rival was racking up victories. "I would say a sigh of relief," Barber said of setting the record. "Hopefully this quiets the outside noise, let's us get back to our main goals [of winning another national championship]." UConn holds the overall NCAA record for consecutive wins with a 111-game streak. The Huskies also have the second-longest streak, a 90-game run. Caroline Peper scored 27 points to lead the way for the two-time defending national champions, who had to work hard for Sunday's win. "For us, it was super important that it's NYU we're representing to beat our rival's record," Peper said. The two teams went back and forth in the first half, and NYU led 32-29 at the break on a 3-pointer by Brooke Batchelor a few seconds before the end of the second quarter. Peper and Batchelor hit consecutive 3-pointers early in the third quarter to start a 17-6 run to go up by double digits. The Tartans closed to within 56-51 midway through the fourth quarter, but Zahra Alexander, who scored all seven of her points in the final quarter, answered with consecutive layups to extend the cushion and make it 60-53 with 3:19 left. Peper then hit a 3-pointer just before the shot clock buzzer with just over two minutes left to seal the win. Sunday's game was a rematch from a week ago. NYU topped Carnegie Mellon (12-7) by just one point in that game. That had been the closest a team had come to defeating the Violets during this run. No team previously came within 12 points this season. During the historic streak, only three other teams have come within single digits of the Violets: University of Chicago lost by six, Whittier by eight and Case Western Reserve by eight two days ago. Now with the record in hand, the Violets are focused on trying to win a fifth straight UAA Conference title and third consecutive national championship. Only Washington University has done that, when the school won four consecutive titles from 1998 to 2001. "I think it hasn't been the priority, but it's something that we're very excited to represent a D-III record in a really big way," said Barber, who was drenched by her team with water in the locker room after the win. "We didn't win a national championship today. We won a game and are focused on Friday on going 1-0 again. That has been the main priority the whole time." Peper is the only player on the roster to have lost a game in college at NYU. She was a freshman on the team that was beaten by Transylvania in the Elite Eight of the Division III NCAA tournament.

Only if you need me to be the 12th team or the 14th team... You have Biff interested in here and HellToupee is intrigued in the other thread...

I think they do... At Capital games, the fans yell "RED" for red glare and also there are some "O"s as well...

You mean the Braves are finally available now??

Bummed that the Pats didn't win, but even though the Steelers and Patriots both have six Super Bowl championships (since the NFL didn't apparently exist before the Super Bowl era), the Patriots still reached six titles time-wise before the Steelers... Steelers: First title (1974), first SB appearance (1974), sixth title (2008) - Took 34 years to win their sixth title (after winning their first) and 34 years since their first appearance Patriots: First title (2001), first SB appearance (1985), sixth title (2018) - Took 17 years to win their sixth title (after winning their first) and 33 years since their first appearance

The NFL definitely got what they wanted with him being the half-time show... This is probably the most talked half-time show since Justin Timberlake/Janet Jackson fiasco...
