He was seemingly a real life superman, only missed one game (coaches decision his rookie year) and his energy was boundless.

His appearance at his press conference and Wrigley was shocking for someone bigger than life.

Got a clip or a link?

Surprisingly, there's no readily available video of the first pitch.

Happened to see this when I first posted:

... He spent his final months as an advocate for organ transplants, appearing in many commercials to encourage others to donate organs, although by the time his first appeal was recorded, his illness was already too far advanced for transplantation to have been a viable option....

Could be a little worse.

You could be stuck watching New England and Tennisshoe.

Is that what they're showing you?

[O Really]

We get LA Traitors- Browns, Cowboys-Falcons (for some unknown reason) and are then rewarded with Packers-Lions. Dunno why we wouldn't get Rams-Seahawks.

Nah, that would be cruel and unusual.

I've got Dallas getting their ass handed to them then Da Bears or the Pack/Lions.

There may be some channel surfing.

The Raiders officially suck. I wonder if they’re losing on purpose to get a higher draft pick for next year. We desperately need a young and talented QB.

The Raiders officially suck. I wonder if they’re losing on purpose to get a higher draft pick for next year. We desperately need a young and talented QB.

They found the problem :

Raiders fire offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, two others

... The Raiders also fired offensive line coach James Cregg and quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello, both of whom, like Getsy, were in their first season with Las Vegas.

The team is riding its first five-game losing streak since 2018 and shares the worst record in the NFL at 2-7 following Sunday's 41-24 loss at the Cincinnati Bengals. Getsy's offense, while getting off to fast starts in scoring an opening-drive touchdown in four of Las Vegas' past five games, became too bogged down later in games....

All fixed now

Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle leaves Eagles 'speechless' (with video)

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni is a man of many words, but even he was left "speechless" after running back Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle over a defender Sunday in a 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"It was the best play I've ever seen," Sirianni said. "What I think is so cool, there's going to be kids all over the country and all over Philadelphia trying to make that play and talking about that play and simulating that play as they play backyard football or peewee football. They ain't going to be able to make it -- I believe he's the only one in the world that can do that. I'm speechless. It was unbelievable."...

[GoCubsGo]

That was a dope play made possible by shitty tackling.



Luke Getsy.....Luke Getsy.....where have I heard that name before?

[Vrede too]

OT!!! . . . in KC. Wow, good on TB.

It was a pretty dope spin move, too.

Whose bright idea was it to hire a fired Bears OC to be LV's OC?

Crap.

Thought the Bucs had the MOJO tonight.

Frack Patrick Mahomes.

[O Really]

Thought the Bucs had the MOJO tonight.

Frack Patrick Mahomes.

Bucs did well with what they had. Hard to beat the Swifties in KC, even with a full healthy team.
They'll get a lot of second-guessing in retrospect over the decision not to go for 2, but I think it was the right choice. If they had tried and failed, everybody would be saying "idiots! you blew it"

The head coach's Kobayashi Maru.

[O Really]

Long term, about half of two point conversions are good. This year so far it's 31%. And that doesn't count the specific situation in KC. Had the Bucs won the toss, it might have ended differently.
