The NFL is encouraging missed kicks to create '69' scorelines for ratings
I also think tying into it, what's more interesting? A game that's 17-10... Or if you casually glance at a scoreboard and see a 16-9 game? If I see 69 and I'm like, what kind of crazy hijinks was going on there? I'm going to tune in... it's going to make me more likely to watch.

I actually broke that news back in August. The second they announced RG3 as their starting quarterback... I said, okay, they've just clinched last place in the AFC. They've clinched the first draft pick, and they're mathematically eliminated right now.

View profileThe overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension is the smallest piece of justice the United States has ever received from FIFA
The United States has never benefited from FIFA's corruption before, and it feels like we've been left out of that party.

I'm so deep into this chip in the ball thing, I've become convinced that it's all bullshit.

Brandon Aiyuk is in a bad space mentally and will not be signing with the Washington Commanders.
The Washington Commanders have released Brandon [Aiyuk] today from the contract that he didn't sign with us and was never going to sign. Things got kind of weird over the weekend. So [Aiyuk] was saying like talking shit about Jayden's mom... I think that should probably put an end to the Brandon [Aiyuk] to the Commanders rumors. But I was never really on board for it, it's been weird for quite some time with Brandon. I hope he gets whatever help he needs. It doesn't seem like he's in a good space mentally. And it seems like even his best oldest friends have tried to help him and he just burns those bridges too.
