So the Lakers coach is pissy that the TV guys aren't trying to polish the turd that the league's offering. https://uproxx.com/dimemag/charles-barkley-jj-redick-dead-man-walking-rant-video/

And now we've got an FU for another reason: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/with-possible-suspension-looming-azeez-al-shaair-posts-statement-on-trevor-lawrence-hit

After what O'Connell did with Darnold, you gotta think that's a best case scenario for Jones.

He was an above average QB for a long time in an era of inflated passing stats. Never had a season in the top 3 of passing TDs (3 in the top 5), never a top 4 season in passing yards (2 in the top 5). The only major stat he lead the league in was INTs (3 times). 4 Pro Bowls in 17 seasons (also in an era of inflated rosters due to players sitting out), 0 All Pro nods. If not for 2 (admittedly great) post season runs, he'd have 0 shot whatsoever at the Hall. I say he doesn't belong, but I expect him to get in.

What are the odds of an ejection? Things are getting a bit chippy already.

Back in.

Darnold pumpkining.

Tim Wakefield had his own catcher for the Red Sox. Also: Bronny James

Been a while, but I remember a 5, 6 point swing where a lateral got stat corrected into a TD pass. But, for all intents and purposes, you've lost. Most corrections are changing who sacks are awarded to. Once in a while a sack will be given to or taken away from a team. It's very rare that there's any major changes.

Drew Carey is on Plex. Most of it, at least. Some episodes are missing, some scenes are edited out, and some music is dubbed over.

I saw a couple Hock(enson) Tuas.

Back in after a roughing the kicker penalty.

Rodgers down, holding his left leg after a sack. EDIT: Walking off now.

That was a pretty weak penalty after the TD.

And that's another Tua concussion
