Started working yesterday on an ESPN piece, "one more move each team should make." Had the Colts signing Germaine Pratt. Whoops. This is what happens when you try not to procrastinate.

Hey, Steelers fans! I wrote something about your new quarterback! Always good to Aaron Rodgers topping a leaderboard and... oh, I seem to have this one upside down. ftnfantasy.com/nfl/passing-...

New from @brykno.bsky.social on @ftnfantasy.com (FREE): Aaron Rodgers' bad year. We measure passing +/-, how many passes QBs complete compared to expectation, and Rodgers had one of the worst figures since 2006. Goff, Hurts, and Geno Smith were on top. ftnfantasy.com/nfl/passing-...

Have you ever wondered, "Hey, I wonder what was the worst Thanksgiving game in NFL history?" In 1980, the Cowboys beat the Seahawks 51-7. The Seahawks took six sacks, had seven turnovers, and a safety from intentional grounding in the end zone. www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/19...

Jaire Alexander coverage DVOA 2023: 7 games, 12.1% 2024: 7 games, -44.7% Typical CB inconsistency + small sample size + injury history = who knows what's next?

I decided to turn on the UFL playoffs and Michigan already punted on fourth and a foot from their own 45.

I keep seeing posts about how Bluesky is declining and I just think we need to wait for football season to come back around again. It makes all social media better!

90 days until the NFL season kicks off! This graphic has the 14 players with the most approximate value wearing the #90 jersey. How many can YOU name? We say goodbye to our pass-rusher focused stretch here, as the WRs limber up for a run...

We voted for Derwin James as a slot corner in the All-Pro voting because he actually played more slot corner than safety last season!

Another thing I've said before and I'll say again: I don't think Arthur Smith and Aaron Rodgers are a good match.

I've said this before and I'll say this again. If you're going to pick teams based on the politics of certain players (or ex-players), you're going to be severely disappointed whether you're on the left or the right. Every team has a mix of dudes. Owners, well, that's a different story.

95 days until the NFL season kicks off! This graphic has the 15 players with the most approximate value wearing the #95 jersey. How many can YOU name? 95 is clearly a much cooler number than 96-98. Lots of fun names on this one.

EA Sports College Football 26 has Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams on the cover which is bad for me because I keep getting them confused. On a radio appearance a couple weeks ago I talked about Emeka Egbuka competing with Ryan Williams for targets and felt like an idiot afterwards.
