Both TDs were "pass short left," which implies good WRs and bad D. Imho. it's the first preseason game, it's about as worthless as football gets. Call me in 5 weeks.
Fair, but if you watch the plays Fields' athleticism kept him out of trouble for the biggest one. IF they have him focused, it'll be interesting to watch Ds choose between containing him or letting him go in fear of the big play.

I only saw the DJ Moore one, which was a quick screen.

"The Blind Side" was a lie?

Next you'll tell me the lawyer that hired Erin Brokovich stole money from his clients...

The deal lists all four Tuohy family members as having the same representative at Creative Artists Agency, the petition says. But Oher's agent, who would receive movie contract and payment notices, is listed as Debra Branan, a close family friend of the Tuohys and the same lawyer who filed the 2004 conservatorship petition, the petition alleges. Branan did not return a call to her law office on Monday.
I realize this is just his side of the lawsuit in the article, but I sure hope he wins and gets some $$ if true.

Colts name Richardson their starter.

If you see the behind-the-paywall article about NFL contenders' weaknesses, these are the teams ESPN thinks are the contenders this year.

Jump to a contender:
BAL | BUF | CIN | DAL
DET | JAX | KC | LAC | MIN
NO | NYJ | PHI | SEA | SF

Speaking of, I'm sure you saw the story of some Native Americans demanding the Redskins name be restored?

Can't say I'm in favor of it. I'm fine with Seminoles, Braves, etc., but "Red Skin"... It's a bit too racial.

Although, I was also very much in favor of the Cleveland Caucasians!

Contrast that to how CNN is covering it.

CNN does tell the white people's side, but absolutely buries it into the last section of the article, which they know like 1% of people read.

How anyone trusts these outlets is beyond me.

Josh Smith had an awkward moment if I saw it right. Joe Buck was talking with his hands and Josh shook it. Aikman was laughing. I might have seen it wrong?

I thought Howell looked decent. No world beater, but he shouldn't lose them games.

We haven't done our record predictions yet...soon...but we should also add top five draft picks. Not the players or exact order, but what teams will be in the top five picks based on having terrible years.
