The #Bucs were just dumping salary when they traded DeSean Jackson to the #Eagles in 2019 & got a 6th-rounder in return. But the 6th-rounder, Scotty Miller, has given them more production since than D-Jax has Philly, including Sunday's killer 39-yard TD in the NFC title game.

Can't wait for the next #NFL game where a 45-year-old QB accounts for 99.2% of his team's offense. Brady: 373 net passing yards #Bucs : 3 net rushing yards

Just realized Chuck Grassley is as old as the NFL championship game (1933). Some guys in that game played without helmets, never mind facemasks. The Bears' winning TD was scored on a hook-and-lateral.

Kaepernick's last regular-season game, by the way, was Jan. 1, 2017 -- a mere 703 days ago. He put up these numbers in a loss to the #Seahawks , whose D wasn't exactly chopped liver (3rd in points allowed, 5th in yards). On top of that, he played a 100% Butt-Fumble-Free Game.

Nov. 20, 1960. Imagine an #NFL game ending this way: The #Browns , down 14-10 to the #Steelers , throw into the end zone on the last play, & a kid fan, who'd crept onto the field, had to scamper out of the way to avoid interfering with receiver Leon Clarke. Incomplete.

This is awesome. The L.A. Times sends a writer & cameraman out to the #UCLA practice field in 1939 to try to figure out why Bruins RB Jackie Robinson is so hard to tackle. Devoted most of the sports front to it.

As game-ending mayhem goes, nothing will ever top the #Raiders ' Matt Millen punching #Patriots GM Pat Sullivan, son of owner Billy Sullivan, during the 1985 playoffs. But the Garrett-induced donnybrook tonight has gotta rank pretty high up there. #Browns #Steelers

In 1999 Dan Snyder bought the shiny new bike of his boyhood dreams & then left it out in the rain to rust. Negligence doesn't begin to describe his ownership of the Washington franchise. It's like cutting him a break.

Brady won 14 of 15 starts this season -- and came awfully close to being 15-0. The end of the #Seahawks game: #Patriots #SuperBowl #NFL

OK, last one and then I'm gonna call it a night. Thanks, all. From a 1959 school yearbook: On the left: Wes Unseld in the 7th grade. On the right: Diane Sawyer in the 8th. (They graduated a year apart from Louisville's Seneca High School.) #Wizards #NBA

Will always think of Eric Weddle as 1 of the 2 2nd-rounders the #Redskins traded to move up & draft Rocky McIntosh. #Ravens #Chargers #NFL

Never saw these before. Pretty cool. Jim Brown and Ernie Davis' game-by-game rushing stats at #Syracuse . Can you imagine them in the same #Browns backfield? Maybe the biggest Might Have Been in #NFL history.

To me, the continuing anger at Ron Rivera -- "Fire him! Fire him! Why don't they fire him!" -- is misplaced. He didn't create this Chernobyl, he just walked in near the end. Joe Gibbs had a losing record under Dan Snyder. So did Mike Shanahan. It just became Loserland.
