There are some tweets reporting a couple playoff contender-ish teams are kicking the tires on bringing Fields as a backup. Every goddamn story about his trade value in the last month listed it peaking as a third-rounder (except for some unnamed coach saying he would get a second). I know I don't kn...

You have a real hard-on for that guy.

UNLV scored 15 runs against New Mexico yesterday.

And lost by 16 runs.

Hudsucker is maybe my least favorite Coens movie. I think I like even The Ladykillers a bit more. It’s not a “bad” movie of course just feels a little cold for lack of a better term.

It took a little over five hours of "official" free agency, but I think enough potential suitors are off the market that I think the return for any trade of Fields would be low enough that they may just opt to hang onto him (his contract is fully guaranteed this year and his cap hit is th...

Back to actual football news I feel like Mayfield may have left some money on the table. Of course considering these FA deals might impact Goff’s extension some I’m glad he did.

He’s from southeast Ohio. It’s practically West Virginia. I’d be surprised if he didn’t want undocumented people beheaded.

Another interesting quirk is that there was talk about trying to do an extension with Hanifan but I wonder if those talks might have went nowhere because that doesn’t seem possible now. At this point he might as well wait until summer and see what offers he gets. Especially if he's a key part of an...

I don’t think Vegas will be cratering in the next couple of years so the difference between the Vegas first and SJ third in 2015 might only be about 40-ish spots. That said, Edstrom was VGK’s best prospect so that’s where the real value is. Still I think it’s a good trade for both teams. The salary ...

Seen today on an Audi A6: 2BRO4U

Until a couple months ago Erik Kramer was the only starting QB to win a playoff game for the Lions since Tobin Rote in 1957.

Lolz. Nor are the Cavs apparently.

I only watched the odd episode of Bojack. If I wanted to pick it up, do I need to start from the very beginning? Or is there one particular season that would be the best time to pick it up? It’s probably worthwhile to watch from the beginning but if you really wanted you could skip season 1. I woul...

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. For my money one of the best shows of all-time. Up there wi...

I will say it’s an interesting discussion though because it shows just how damaging it is to have an average QB on a big cap hit. Denver is basically pinning all its hopes on JJ McCarthy (or Bo Nix?) being the guy because this ensures they can’t spend on someone like Kirk Cousins or Mayfield.

I still don’t see the logic without having a replacement in place (unless they were picking #1 overall perhaps) but that puts it in some perspective. Because you’re not competing in 2024 either way and now you’re cap clean in 2026 rather than $30MM down? Seems like an easy call. I don’t think it’s ...

I still don’t see the logic without having a replacement in place (unless they were picking #1 overall perhaps) but that puts it in some perspective. I’ll be curious to see how Wilson does wherever he lands next year. I suppose that’s the big question. Does he have anything left in the tank or is th...

Or you could live in a city where there’s five of them.

He’s still probably league-average at worst but yeah this seems like a situation where he and Payton didn’t mesh and Payton won the power struggle.

I think the cap hit over two years but yeesh. Yes that’s true and important to know but yeesh is accurate. I don’t get the move personally. If they had someone waiting in the wings maybe but seems like they’d be better trying to make it work with Wilson even if they draft someone like JJ McCarthy.

Ain’t gonna have Russell Wilson to kick around in Denver any more. An expensive divorce. Denver has to take a $85 million dead cap hit.

I vaguely remember him. Don’t think he was on the ‘84 Royals team that the Tigers destroyed in the ALCS

Doesn’t get any more definitive than that.

Been stuck in Texas for over a week trying to get back to Vegas but it could be worse. Af least I’m not anywhere near that crap.

I’ll add my vote and say it doesn’t sound like Josh. Great song too though.

Barton Fink is very underrated in my opinion. John Goodman steals the movie though that’s maybe unsurprising.

Costas must have taken some edibles.

That place needs to be nuked.

A bit of Coens trivia. Miller’s Crossing would be the first Coens movie edited by “Roderick Jaynes” and he has subsequently edited every Coen Brothers movie since.

However Roderick Jaynes is a pseudonym for Ethan, Joel and Tricia Cooke who collaborate to edit their movies.

So what to do with Goff? He's not going to play another down without guaranteed money. Keep him or move on? Go with Hooker? Go after someone like Cousins? Goff has that fanbase believing in a QB in a way Detroit hasn't since Bobby freakin Layne. He's getting paid. Also there’s no one better out the...

Was kind of surprised to learn the Clippers have a winning record against the Lakers at Staples/Crypto Center.

Even a hypochondriac is right once. (Curious if he figures at all into the finale of Curb. Kind of sad they didn’t get to honor him by writing it into the show like they did Bob Einstein.)

Trump famously demanded two scoops of ice cream while everyone else was given one when he was in the White House and don’t remember Watters and Travis getting the vapors then.

They made an announcement at Mississippi State- UK game around 5 minutes to go that court storming would not be tolerated. A& M was up 4-5 or something like that. UK figured out a better way to stop the court storming. It would have been gratuitous and uncalled for if Mississippi State fans sto...

Today’s delivery is a little more manly I suppose. 21 tons of Marshalltown Tools.

(For anyone confused bc you’re not on Facebook and/or not friends with me on FB, I delivered 21 tons of Hawaiian Punch yesterday.)

To be fair this happened to Duke.

Same, right? 50-year-old me laments the empty calories but I actually did have some Hawaiian Punch a month or so ago for the first time in maybe a decade and it was incredible.
