What a gift, the biggest collect, to be a Girl Dad x3.
I am sorry Ella that your favourite memory of us is me taking you to Brooklyn Nets games but we have 50-60 years to rectify.
Happy Father’s Day
Adley Rutschman is now beating Julio Rodriguez in fWAR (despite playing 32 less games) and OPS.
He is already the best catcher in baseball.
This is your AL ROY.
Manny Machado should be NL MVP.
Same fWAR as Paul Goldschmidt (7.0). Second most valuable hitter on the Padres has been Jake Cronenworth (3.7).
Second most valuable hitter on the Cardinals has been… Paul Goldschmidt (behind Arenado at 7.1).
Padres are nowhere without Manny.
If you are making the argument for Georgia to make the playoff, you should be arguing for OSU over Texas, Oregon over Washington, etc.
And that is not how this has ever worked.
Only rookie to be named to first team All-Pro and first rookie CB in 41 years to make first team.
I will spoil the suspense - congratulations Sauce Gardner on winning Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Questionable choice of song picking the 6th best song on Rush of Blood to the Head, but aside from that all my best and congratulations to
@ConnorJRogers
and his lovely new bride Kristin.
Connor is one of the best human beings you will have the pleasure of meeting, truly a 10/10
Vikings-Bills spread has dropped from Bills -7.5 to -5.5 in the past 24 hours. The market thinks there is a high chance that Josh Allen is not playing.
Great to see Baker Mayfield dominate yesterday (QB2 for the week so far, behind Josh Allen).
Fantastic dude. Here’s a photo of me, Baker and
@MatthewBerryTMR
from radio row in Vegas earlier this year.
Francisco Lindor making MVP plays in the field to win games while Shohei is in the dugout on defense wondering whether to put Bengals -7.5 in his 5-legger.
This play specifically -- ranging in and throwing someone out on the run -- is one Francisco Lindor is so, so good at. Part of his MVP case hinges on his ability to do stuff like this (in important moments, no less).
Georgia’s argument to make the playoff is that they’re one of the 4 best teams.
Betting market is as good a gauge as any of who the best teams are, given the liquidity.
Market rates the 4 best teams as: Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia and Bama (or Oregon).
Tonight -
2-year old: falls asleep instantly
3-year old: falls asleep instantly
6-year old: on verge of falling asleep instantly, then looks at me and asks “why do people die after they get old?”
Like losing a no-hitter by giving up a 460-foot home run with 2 outs in the 9th.
So the current party line is…
Ippei was shrewd enough to somehow secure $4.5 million in credit while on an interpreter’s salary and then subsequently defraud Shohei of that money, yet stupid enough to think that Shohei would just never ever find out about his global news story
TJ Watt’s head gets eviscerated by Zeke’s knee, takes smelling salts on the sideline, needs a tinted visor to come back in the game. Definitely no concussion symptoms though until after the game.
Meanwhile Derek Carr has been concussed twice in three games and will play Sunday.
The level of vitriol towards Damar Hamlin because of some random award is complete madness.
I promise everyone it’s OK if the bloke who came back from the dead wins Comeback Player of the Year.
He does not deserve to be spat on.
The fact that Damar sees the bullshit being spewed about his finalist status crushes me.
Good on 3 for speaking up for himself. He is absolutely deserving of the award and I don’t think it’s particularly close.
Bijan now the third string RB. Kyle Pitts
#2
TE.
I look forward to the Falcons drafting Caleb Williams next year and having him sit behind Ridder and Heinicke.
Your daily Sauce Gardner DROY propaganda:
Sauce currently leads the NFL in pass breakups (10, next closest is 7) and among CBs (min 220 snaps) he ranks third in PFF grade (behind only Pat Surtain and Jalen Ramsey).
Thank you and have a wonderful afternoon.
For those asking why "we". When you have a ticket on a team to win the Super Bowl, you are part of the team, these are the rules.
Also I play run defense better than Chase Young.
Dan Campbell's aggressiveness on fourth down is surely a massive net positive overall, but going for 2 from the 7 is one of the most clinically insane decisions in recent memory
Our model lightly preferred going for 2 on the first and third Lions attempts. But the WPs on the Lions' second 2-point attempt from the 7-yard line...
WP Kick: 44%
WP Go for 2: 34%
Niners just went 6-0 with Mr Irrelevant.
They finish the season on a 10-game winning streak, starting 3 different QBs. 13-4, div champs, 2-seed.
Daboll was great, but he won 9 games on a team with a 7.0 win total over/under preseason.
Kyle Shanahan is the Coach of the Year.
Happy 2nd birthday to our feisty little Rio.
Rio likes pancakes soaked with honey, Paw Patrol, pretending she is a dinosaur, and waking her older sisters up in the morning before they’re ready. She spends every day walking around like she is an actress starring in the movie of
Steelers next 4 games are: Arizona, New England, at Indy, Cincy.
If they hold on here, they are some chance to be 11-4 and I am pretty sure they are terrible
As good as Mahomes was - and God he was good - the Chiefs scored one TD in regulation and it was gifted to them on the punt fumble at the SF 16.
Chiefs fumbled 5 times and recovered 4, Niners fumbled twice and recovered 0 - there is your ballgame.
Since Brock Purdy came in for Jimmy G:
13 TDs/4 INTs
109.4 Passer Rating
68.3 Completion %
1308 Passing Yards
6-0
I'm sorry but that's better than 1100 receiving yards or 1000 rushing yards.
Purdy is the Offensive Rookie of the Year
#OROY
If Flacco gets more Comeback Player of the Year votes than Baker Mayfield it will be the biggest travesty since Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan.
He has been this guy all along.
Browns finished today down 9 of their Week 1 starters.
Franchise QB, franchise RB, both starting tackles, both starting safeties, all done for the year among others.
10-5, beat SF with PJ Walker, won in BAL.
FOUR QBs.
Kevin Stefanski has to be Coach of the Year favorite now.
1-on-1 with

@MatthewBerryTMR
worked his evil magic to make Mason Rudolph overthrow a wide open Diontae TD by about 50 yards. Stickmen not done yet, there is great heart and fight in our sticks.
Give me 7 touchdowns Travis Etienne.
The moment I knew that the Knicks were winning this game and Immanuel Quickley had Sixth Man of the Year locked up.

If the second debate is on NBC, I am putting my hand up to be moderator. I am ready.
I will ensure all the hard topics are covered: immigration, tariffs, Lindor v Ohtani, the Giants O-Line sucking for a decade, and why Americans on the road never use their indicators.
Vikings are 4-0 without Justin Jefferson, three different QBs, miracle win in Atlanta, sitting in a playoff spot currently after starting 0-3…
Kevin O’Connell deserves to be Coach of the Year favorite
#SKOL
Unbelievable. Josh Dobbs said that Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell was essentially translating calls and mapping out plays mid-huddle, as the play clock was ticking down. KOC called Dobbs’ ability to handle it all one of the most impressive things he’d seen in his career.
After today Kyle Shanahan deserves to be Coach of the Year favorite.
4-0 with the last pick of the draft, beating four playoff contenders.
11-4 despite 3 different starting QBs, and now on an 8-game winning streak. 2 more wins and it’s his award.
Immanuel Quickley’s case for Sixth Man of the Year
#6MOY
is pretty simple - he is (by far) the most deserving candidate.
There are four key reasons why:
-Impact on winning
-Defense
-Workload/availability
-Importance to team
#IQ6MOY
in detail (thread):
My 6 year old just asked me what if mice started setting traps for humans.
I told her let’s just get a good start out of Luis Gil tonight in Seattle and we’ll worry about the mice with ideas of revolution in the morning.
Not sure what is more confusing - how my team (the Stickmen, in honor of Easton) is so bad, or how it made it to round 2 of the playoffs.
Either way, be afraid
@MatthewBerryTMR

Tough matchup for Trevor Lawrence this week... BUT, if he plays well and beats the Eagles, there is a real chance he becomes a top 4 favorite for MVP. +3000 right now on
@BetMGM
.
Sounds crazy, but "T-Law" has been excellent, and he and the Jags have significant upside.
Everyone gleefully dunking on me over this - Hamlin closed -500. No regrets. Dealing in probabilities not certainties here.
If you told me Flacco got 13 first place votes out of 50 I’d have said he’s close to 0%. Sometimes that is how Le Cookie crumbles.
Talked Comeback Player of the Year with
@whale_capper
on Bet the Edge today and why (in our opinion) Damar Hamlin being -140 is insane (i.e. he should be much more heavily favored).
+ why Baker is the main threat over Flacco.
Thought the Coach of the Year market might be done - it is not.
Based on everything coming out, think Demeco Ryans (+800) is a significant chance to win COY if he beats Indy.
My fairs for this market:
Stefanski -350
Ryans +350
(Steichen and the field 0% chance, in my opinion)
Checking in on the aftermath of the MVP race.
Giannis - worst series loss in NBA history, looked completely terrified against an 8-seed
Embiid - 5/18 in Game 7, 15 pts and -28
Jokic - 8-3 record, 31/13/10 on 55% FG, 48% from 3, God is his direct report
Happy Mother’s Day!
I have tried to convince my 5, 3 and 1 year old daughters that they adore Radiohead and Oasis but they continue to insist on Imagine Dragons at all times.
6 days into the New Year and it is already all over.
