LMAO! Carson Effing Kelly

A sac fly from Harvey is a win.

Carp swinging out of his shoes on each pitch.

This is the second time in four games our 3rd base coach has sent a dude to an easy out.

Here's the extended cut with both kicks. Unreal.

David Montgomery.

Nice win. Those new jerseys look like Jersey Day giveaways.

Cool concept, but there's a lot of empty space in that D that throws the balance off for me.

Totally. Every time I hear someone on The Ticket say they want black jerseys or outlines I lose it a little bit, lol. Those unis were the worst in the history of the franchise, for the reason you mentioned: it was forced. Black works great when it's a primary team color, but it looks try-hard when it isn't. We're not the Raiders or the Steelers. We're the f**king Lions. Now with that said, I wouldn't mind a darker shade of blue. Not navy or midnight blue, but just a tad darker than Honolulu blue. The jersey in that mock-up is honestly damn near perfect, IMO. I really hope they go back to traditional block numbers.

The longer this goes unresolved, the more I think that Cam may have already ended up like Bison Dele.

Or if someone else got to him before the cops.

Oof.

Here's the full cut:

The Packers asked Aaron Jones to take pay cuts two years in a row. Why hasn't the NFLPA stepped in yet?

I'm cool with the philosophy as a guiding principle, but I think when you get this close to the top of the mountain, adding an impact player at a position of particular need can put you over the top. Yes, it carries more risk than draft, develop and extend, but Super Bowl windows generally don't stay open for long.

You are falling for a very carefully biased and incomplete narrative promulgated by the accuser's camp.

We do know all of those thing, though. The texts -- and the dates they were sent -- came to light as a result of discovery, and are not in dispute. Same with the videos. She was explicit about her intentions to extort money from Bauer. Bauer's an A-hole, and if that's a deal-breaker for Harris and Hinch, cool. But I'm not sure how anyone can read those texts and watch those videos and not conclude that the accuser wasn't lying.

I think that's a reasonable position. That's probably what Dan should've said, and left it at that.

Dan needs to read up on the Bauer issue. During discovery they got texts from his accuser's phone that she sent to her friend explicitly laying out her plan to extort him. Videos of her next to him while he slept laughing about it. Bauer is a known world-class D-bag, and if that's a deal breaker, cool. But seeing Dan do MLB PR like this is really disappointing.

Shep's decent calling basketball games.

I've just resigned myself to the fact that, unless they can get a guy on a 1 year deal, this is the likely outcome. And getting that type of guy on a 1 year deal is highly unlikely.

I think you might be right about Jonah. The conventional wisdom is that someone is gonna back a Brinks truck up to his house, but I'm not so sure about that. Someone might give him that bag -- and all it takes is one team -- but his injury history might make teams wary about going big to get him.

Yes! That's what I'm hoping for. I still think we need to upgrade via FA or trade, though, for the immediate future.
