The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

@jimmykempski.bsky.social Saquon’s contract has a lot of incentives; they do eventually count towards the cap, right? Will his count towards 2024 or 2025? Which is better from a team perspective? In any case, seems like a good use of cap; hard to be upset about a hit for someone who is killing it.
