My guess is he took a minimal push as an excuse to run into Tatum. The push gives him deniability, but if that was one of his teammates in the air, he would have managed to avoid hitting him.

Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA

Awesome as always but one little thing I also realize that the Patriots cannot go into a season with Bailey Zappe as their presumed starter, but if McCarthy is just another Alex Smith, this is quite an overdraft They signed Jacoby Brissett, who I wish they had last year. And the whole thing about Mc...

Nothing gets me more excited about the Red Sox than a 10:10 pm opening day following an off-season where the one significant signing is already out for the season and the one significant trade return is injured.

At least my friend opened a bar by Fenway, so I got that going for me.

I'm watching Bojack again. Holy shit is it still so good and still so depressing, maybe even moreso as I age and identify with Bojack (other than all the sex, fame, and money). Some of the episodes are just devestatingly sad. Amazing show.
