Much more important than any game:
Josh Gordon has been reinstated. He’s on the Chiefs’ practice squad.
The only real question is will it be next year, or the year after, when he hits the 2,500 yards receiving in a season mark?
You forgot to adjust for the 17 game season so your numbers are low.
Typo. Supposed to be 25,000.
I haven’t seen much of Hurts, but this game doesn’t really make him look like a legit NFL QB. Calling only 2 non-QB runs in 3 effin quarters certainly isn’t helping him much either.
He’s there because Carson Wentz flamed out; I actually respect the fact that he stepped into this role maybe before he was truly ready. He’s also dealing with a coaching staff change. I’ve never questioned his character - great teammate. He just doesn’t throw consistently accurate passes over 20 yards, and he can be iffy over 15.
That said, if the OC can just accept Hurts’ limitations and maybe adapt the offense to his strengths, Philadelphia could possibly compete in the weak NFC East. If they can do more RPO and be successful with that, he might be able to occasionally catch safeties napping and torch the defense with the odd 20-30 yard pass.
Bears announce Arlington Park purchase, here we go.
It’s weird so many sports writers like to describe a star player returning to play his former team as “revenge.”
“Revenge” for what?! Paying them hundreds of millions of dollars? Making them a sports-transcending celebrity? Winning them a handful of championships? Not re-signing them so they can go somewhere else, win a championship, then come back and embarrass you on your home turf?
Eh…I can see it being revenge if that player still had a lot of gas left in the tank but his team spitefully cut him and said “You’re washed up and done, we don’t want to pay you any more” and then he comes back one day and lights up their defense for 5 touchdowns. But that’s relatively rare.
But yes, sports reporters are quite inane most of the time. It reminds me of baseball journalists who say that an unusual breaking pitch “violates physics.” No, it does not - physics is the REASON that pitch behaves the way it does.
Anybody seen the NBC promo commercial for the upcoming Bucs - Patriots game? Interspersed shots of Brady in a Bucs uniform doing stuff, and angry yelling shots of Patriots fans holding up signs like “We’re still here!” But the stinger is, the soundtrack is the song ‘Hello’, with Adele belting "HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIIIIIDE". I chuckled.
So is Arlington Park where the money is in Chicagoland? I know pretty much zero about Chicago but I seem to recall that the northern suburbs were affluent
I’d say it’s money-adjacent. I don’t hang out in Arlington Heights but I assume there are richer people there. If you go 30 minutes in any direction, you’ll hit the more affluent suburbs though:
Otherwise, Arlington Park has got a bunch of really good qualities: lots of room, there’s a train stop right there, there’s a highway and a couple exits right there, it’s not too far from O’Hare, Schaumburg, and the city. They’ll have to upgrade the public transportation and 290/53 I think but that doesn’t seem like much of a problem.
Another advantage to the Bears of Arlington Park is they’ll be able to avoid the boiling pot of Chicago politics.
Joe Burrow has shit coaches and no running game to work with - and he’s supposed to be Joe Montana.
Wait for it, Urban Meyer has…“health problems.”
“Four weeks in, and I’m already sick of this losing sh*t.”
You gotta include a link if you’re going to post that!
Agreed, I searched Google and haven’t found any new stories in the past couple of weeks about Meyer.
He’s had health problems reported for years, and his health history was something people brought up a lot in January when he got the Jacksonville job.
Sorry, it was meant as a joke. Meyer always seems to have “health problems” anytime he doesn’t make the postseason.
Joe Mixon is one of the top rushers in the league, whatever do you mean?
Or when his programs are on the cusp of suffering from an incredibly damaging report on the behavior of his staff or players.
