The National Football League

packers fan aside, the dream scenario is that kid leading vikings to victory and cousins never starting again because MaH BoDy

I could live with that. I want the Packers to get the #1 seed, but I’d make that trade for the #2 or #3. Plus, it would be funny.

That’s what Zimmer said in July when Mond got pozzed and Cousins had to sit out cause he did his own research.

“You know, quite honestly, after everything we went through last year, I’m not surprised one bit,” coach Mike Zimmer said when asked how he felt about missing players due to COVID issues. “I am disappointed that this happened. I’m frustrated, not just with my football players who didn’t get vaccinated, but I’m frustrated with everybody [who didn’t]. We’ll just do the best we can. It’s just disappointing.”

“Something like this happens a day before a game that has a chance to get you to the playoffs or something like that … this Delta variant is rough,” Zimmer said. “You can see the cases going up every single day now. That’s why, for the sake of everybody’s health, I think [getting vaccinated is] important. But some people don’t understand, I guess.”

Also I might have to reconsider my earlier statement

It’s almost certainly going to be Mannion, not Mond.

Madden story about Darryl Stingley. Hadn’t heard this before.

It really is amazing when you think about Madden’s career. HOF coach with the highest all-time winning percentage. Changed television broadcasting. Gave his name and expertise to the most important sports video game of all time and in the discussion for most important video game, period (I wouldn’t put it THAT high, but it could be in the discussion). Elite HOF in three things. Plus everyone says he was just an awesome dude.

His books are great too, although he did have a co-author so maybe only partial credit.

He was a big part of making Americans believe that diabetes and heart disease were only nuisance issues though.

I’m still completely baffled Sean Mannion is still in the league

there’s guys who probably but we’re not sure completely suck yet, how about trying one of those

but no let’s trot out the zero mobility, no arm strength at all, threw tons of picks in college guy.

So they’ll win this week right.

So we are back to just Kirk Cousin in the known unvaxxed category currently out? Damn you supposedly milder Omicron. Supposed to be teaching people a lesson.

Seems like this has to be a top pick for most iconic NFL photos:

That little hop doesn’t seem like it should have worked at all, it’s like the kind of thing my dog does when she’s playing pretend keepaway with a toy but she really wants me to get it.

Derek Carr is a really good QB stuck on a shitty team.

If I have this right:

  • Steelers win out
  • Jags beat Colts

Then the SNF of Raiders/Chargers is win and in, lose and out.

But if they tie, they BOTH get in. Kinda just want to see this and have it go to OT.

Derek Carr in my mind is the bit above average NFL starter. You really want someone better than him, but if you move on from him you will probably end up with someone worse.

He’s a fringe top 10 QB, right? The list of “definitely better than Carr” list is not that long.
