Chiefs and Ravens off to an exciting start.

7-7. 

 

Ravens being completely outplayed.  And then we get to watch Kelce/Mahomes at seemingly every commercial break.  I’m so sick of them.

He'll never be Joey Votto again, but I still think he has some value as a part-time left-handed DH in the right scenario.

I won’t argue with you on that.  But ultimately, I think he’ll have his day here in Cincinnati.

There's just no room.  But, I'll be cheering for him wherever he lands (as long as it is not St. Louis).  

Joey should gracefully sign a one day contract with the Reds and allow Cincinnati to celebrate his baseball career…and then retire to a broadcasting job.

The Pirates signed Aroldis Chapman to a one year $10.5M contract.  He’s 35, but still has a cannon for an arm.  Still remember him when he came up with the Reds…”The Cuban Missile”.  Everyone wanted to see him pitch.  LOL.  😁

Not cool at all.  Cancer sucks.

Lost a good friend to this type of cancer.  He told me that he had cancer as we were walking into a Reds game.  What an awful battle he fought for the next five years.

Sad news for former Cubs star Ryne Sandburg, who announced that he has metastatic prostate cancer.

I don't love the trend. Not sure there is anything to do to alleviate it. 

"vet players late in seasons (Ertz, Dalvin Cook), asking to be released just to jump onto a bandwagon"... just not for me. Like damn.. there are 3 total football games left in the season lol 

Smart by the Lions. 

Yeah…I understand what you’re saying.

Just curious…is your response related to the move by the Lions…or specifically toward the player?

Love 'em or hate 'em, but this Chiefs/Bills matchup is a helluva game.

 

I’m sick of the Chiefs and their Kelce-Mahomes clown show circus.  But they’re the more intriguing matchup for Baltimore…IMHO.  But I would also love to see Buffalo beat KC…big time.  😁✌️

And I say Benson.

I agree, if everyone is healthy then Benson starts.

Yeah, I’m pretty indifferent on this one seeing how bad our guard play has been in recent years. If we don’t find a couple guards/shooters, this pickup won’t mean anything. 

This 100%

You can’t get destroyed at home. This is as bad as it gets. 

You can if you’re a bad team…which IU is.  Face it…we’re not good.

Reds send Daniel Duarte to the Rangers for cash.

Not really. The Eagles have been fading for weeks. I think at this point, the expectations are lower. 

Plus, the Cowboys are "America's Team" and literally dominate the sports news regardless of whether they deserve it or not. 

I’ve seen speculation about problems in the locker room…and AJ Brown deleting Eagles stuff from his social media??   Something seems obviously wrong.  But you’re much more in tune than I am…says the old guy who knows zippo.   😂😂

Steelers making a game of this after being down 21-0.  Bills having to play a significant number of backups due to injuries.  Score now is 24-17 Bills.

31-17 Bills with 6:27 left

My nephew(15) is going to the Bills game tonight.  I'll try and get some pics.

They'd better get it together fast...Losing to Michigan, even on the road, would have the calls for Holtmann's firing very loud...

Nope…they’re going down.   😁

The Reds have had a good offseason.  I definitely think they should be in the playoff hunt if the rotation can avoid injuries.

They should be a lot of fun to watch.  Really looking forward to getting to some games.

I gave the Packers a puncher's chance in this game.  Hell, I didn't think they would blow them out.

Think how Jerry Jones feels.   LOL.   😂😂😂😂

Texas AM versus Kentucky…whew!  Now this game has some athletic basketball players.  A&M up 8… make that 5.  Score is now 29-21 A&M.

Big day for coaching change in football…Carroll, Saban, Belichick.  All moving on in less than 24 hours.

Eberflus will likely want the veteran…someone to help him save his job now as opposed to a rookie with growing pains. If he stays Fields is a lock to stay imo.

Be interesting to see what happens….they can’t really trade down too far if they want to draft Harrison. I wouldn’t put it past Belichek to draft him at 3 and sign a guy like Cousins or pick up Wilson if he gets cut (go the veteran route)…but no way he gets past Arizona at 4.  Personally I take the qb now and then move back up to 3 with NE and sacrifice the draft capital to get Harrison to pair them. You have a ton of space to sign veteran lineman and address the defense. You can’t find elite qb and wide receivers in free agency…they just don’t come along.

Joe Flacco disagrees.   😂

Washington is in this one.

They need to respond after the turnover.  Going to be tough.  Michigan is superior in both lines.

Bias here but uhhh.. you can't beat a black sports jersey. 

Hey, if black is the new cream and the product on the field is good…then I’m totally into it.
