just saw a good piece on ESPN about Kirk Cousins.
when he was 10 years old in Barrington, Ill. (one of my sisters used to live there), his father was his youth FB head coach. at that point, they added a new defensive coach. fella named Mike Singletary, a star of the 1985 Bears.
Cousins said the first year, his Dad was out of town on business when he was going up against the best team in the league. Singletary took over, but he wasn't grasping the offensive plays. So he let Cousins call his own plays!

Aaron Rodgers has a broken collarbone, likely out for the season.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

congrats to the 49ers for becoming the first team in NFL history to lose five consecutive games by 1, 2, or 3 points
today they trailed Skins 17-0 late in the first half and 26-17 just before the 2-minute warning, but they got to the edge of game-winning FG range with 30 seconds left before an offensive PI call helped bury them
Saints up 45-10, allow 4 quick TDs to the Lions and punt with a 7-point lead and 5 minutes left. Stafford then tosses his own pick-6 to go down 52-38. lol
also, the Jets got hosed on a non-fumble fumble call (well, on a stupid, "tuck like" rule), flipping their TD into a touchback for the Pats - who then win, 24-17. Pats have issues and Jets - I can't believe it - are not so terrible
.500 or better, or can get there with a later-games win (a mere 22 teams)

Pittsburgh's James Harrison gets a sack today at 39 years and 164 days old. The oldest player to get at least half a sack in a game is Clay Matthews Jr. He was 40 years and 282 days old when he recorded a quarterback sack in 1996.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

My team keeps rollin'!! 6 and oh!! Damn this game is easy."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Martavis Bryant has requested a trade.
Per RapSheet, Bryant's "teammates and coaches are well aware that he’s unhappy." Bryant struggled in the first six weeks and has been losing snaps to rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster. Bryant simply isn't the player he was before missing all of 2016 due to a suspension. Nevertheless, he should draw trade interest with a sub-$1 million base salary and lots of theoretical talent.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Jameis Winston getting injured killed all my teams except one this week. Basically had no QB this week.Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.

So with Rodgers out for the season, who is his replacement?
Here are my official odds:
Brett Hundley -- 7-1
will likely play a couple of more games and then head back to his rightful place on the bench
Colin Kaepernick -- 10-1
the Packers have to win
RGIII -- 25-1
does anyone even know where he is now?
Eli Manning -- 35-1
may have saved his Giant career with a victory yesterday, but it still would be in the Giants' best interests to trade him
Blake Bortles -- 40-1
the Jags would love be rid of him
Charlie Whitehurst -- 50-1
Is Clipboard Jesus the messiah?
Brock Osweiler -- 55-1
the Broncos hate him, but probably still need him as a backup
Brett Favre -- 1000-1
why not?

Favre actually announced no already.
zero chance the Packers take Kaepernick or the Giants trade Eli. both are 1950s-style "family" franchises.
the Packers will tell themselves they can survive with Hundley, though I doubt it.
Hoyer lost his Niners gig yesterday, and a conditional 7th rd pick might get the job done.
Tony Romo is from Wisconsin, which matters to the cheeseheads. I doubt it, but it's the only "out of the box" idea that seems possible.Last edited by Judge Jude; 10-16-2017, 09:44 AM.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
