saben wasnt much of anything anyway.

did he pull a delonte west and bone lebron's mom?

cant be dipping your pen in the company ink.

watch out or he'll start asking where the beef is.

watching tristan mackenzie blow away white sox hitters with 96 mph in the 8th. why cant we draft guys like that?

he is the weakest link, goodbye!

yup.

that doesnt mean he cant be an exception to the rule. he's shorter and smaller than cooper kupp but he could be a "cooper kupp" type receiver.

i think st brown isnt a top 10 receiver in the nfl because he's small and plays in the slot. top nfl receivers are big guys who can beat you over the top. that said, he's a really good slot receiver and the lions use him really well. i think it will be interesting to see if he gets even more looks when they get a burner like jameson williams into the lineup.

i once worked with a girl who did PR briefly for the avalanche. she said bob cole tried to hit on her before a broadcast once. she declined.

chris davis says hi.

that's multiple acl's for fabbri. i dont expect anything from him if he comes back.

its been 2 games. if he's hurt or they suffer some key injuries, it would be time to worry.

yeah, but theyve been incomplete! lol. poor dj chark cant buy an accurate pass.

sounds like herm edwards leaked that to a reporter...

wwp on the prospect tournament had pretty much the same opinions as others. up: cossa, lombardi, hanas, soderblum down: edvinsson same: sebrango, johansson interesting: biakabatuka for a guy like yzerman who preaches compete level, its going to be hard to reward edvinsson with a spot on the nhl team if he continues to play like this. like ive said, he looks very casual out there. and that resulted in a lot of mistakes. the skill level resulted in a lot of "wow" passes (especially on the power play), but also a lot if turnovers when he tried to be cute. unless he picks it up i think he's destined to start in grand rapids.

bertuzzi and edvinsson for barzal.

you guys would do the same thing last year: if the rams had a bad game or lost there would be a lot of talk of their demise. stafford's too. and they won the super bowl. as long as stafford, kupp, ramsey, and donald are healthy the rams should be a playoff team. injuries might do them in, but theyre still pretty good.

aj brown caught 10 passes for 155 yards on detroit.

#2 in dvoa? jacksonville #29 in dvoa? LA rams sample size...but still fun.

i trust the dvoa rankings more than pff rankings. not sure why... those are probably the lions' best dvoa rankings in almost a decade. caveat: small sample size.

and what would that list be?

i would add deliberatley tanking towards the end of the season. i dont know how to avoid it other than tying salary to games played - which i dont think will ever happen - or having a league doctor or official clear a player to play and if he doesnt, the team is hurt somehow. be it through the loss of draft picks or salary cap space. there has to be some sort of penalty for the blatant tank jobs ok city has been doing for the last five years. i know the pistons did it too, but ok city has taken it to ridiculous levels. no other sport has the kind of tanking you see in the nba. like if the league doctor clears your player to play, if he fails to play within x amount of days you lose his salary on your cap next year. if it happens with multiple players you lose a second round pick. if it happens two years in a row you lose a first round pick. i know this isnt going to happen, but i dont see many other ways to incentivize teams to compete when they have no hope of making the playoffs.

and that was against kirk cousins under pressure in a big game. that's always been cousins' problem.

but that was mostly against some guy named darius slay, who i was told was terrible and it was a good thing that we traded him...
