Myles Garett had a ridiculous 5 sack game where he was just blowing through double teams all game and it was all for naught. That’s gotta be frustrating.
The NFL is investigating the Ravens for fucking with the injury report Inre: Lamar Jackson. They reported Friday that he was a full participant in practice, then, on Saturday changed it to limited, and then he was out for the game. This kind of bullshit pisses off not only the opposing team which is prepping for Lamar, but also the gamblers and the gambling institutions who set lines. I hope the NFL brings the hammer down on this idiotic gamemanship by dickhead coaches and take a draft pick or two from the Ravens.
That said, the Ravens made me a ton of money this weekend, so I’m in a very forgiving mood.
I always feel bad for guys like Garrett, who are absolute monsters at their position, who bring it every damn play, and still have loss after loss after loss, with no end in sight.
Here’s hoping the Browns move him before the trade deadline (not to anyone in the NFC North please), so he has a chance at actually making a playoff run.
Yup. Rooting half-heartedly at best for Cincinnati (it’s relatively close, but they tend not to have much success, and also, my dad grew up near Cleveland, so it’s no contest there) . . .
Anyway, I was reasonably pleased to see Cincy doing pretty well, and then the Jets just kept scoring.
In view of recent awkward NBA news, this seems a notably bad time for such tomfoolery.
He claimed to want a trade because he wanted to be part of a successful franchise, but it turned out that money was what he really wanted. Since he got what he wanted, I don’t find much sympathy for him.
They aren’t mutually exclusive. Garret, like every NFL player ever, wants both money and team success.
He would have been well paid by many of the teams who had interest in him. He chose the team that offered the most but had minimal chances of success. Nothing wrong with that, but I can’t really feel sorry for him when the choice was his own.
Is the Steelers strategy blinding everyone with their uniforms?

Packers a long way off from scoring 27 points. Only 7 at halftime.
Affirmative.
Jonathan Taylor continues to be a beast. 4 3-TD games already this season. The NFL record is 5, set by LaDanian Tomlinson.
Shit, just made it 29. Looks like a tie is on the menu, boys.
The Steelers defense is looking like garbage in this game.
Giants rookie Cam Skattebo suffered a gruesome ankle dislocation that will require surgery.
Yeah, Cam dislocated his ankle. That’s not something that should be dislocated.
Packers trend lately is to do well at the start and then fade*. I’m sure here have been other exceptions, but this was the best comeback in a while
Brian
* at least that is my impression for someone who doesn’t follow football closely. It would not shock me that the actual stats say otherwise
This tidbit of trivia could appear in four different threads.
Tonight there will be games played in four North American professional sports leagues:
NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB.
This doesn’t happen very often. According to the infallible source of ChatGPT, the last time it happened was Monday, October 30, 2023.
My headcanon is the coaching staff doesn’t do halftime adjustments if they’re ahead, and mid-session adjustments are unheard of. There seems to be a stark difference between halves in every game I’ve watched.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching Rodgers get fucked over by the refs when playing the Packers. That no call on the encroachment was priceless. Welcome to the club dickhead.
