  1. This was apparently Mike Shrieve's favorite performance of his legendary drum solo, ahead of even his more famous performance at Woodstock.
  2. One of my all-time favorite music videos on youtube. Thanks for posting.
  3. Jackson played what Bill Parcells used to call "non-competitive defense" in the playoffs against the Bills. He seemed more interested in trying to avoid injury to preserve his market value than actually trying to win a playoff game. I would be very wary of overpaying for him.
  4. I know this stat is intended to sound damning, but it is misleading. First, Mac has a whopping 2 pick-sixes, tied with 4 other QBs in the league (Carr, Burrow, Stafford, and Ryan). Second, one of the pick-sixes was entirely the fault of Jonnu Smith and a slapstick hot-potato routine. The single worst play I've seen by a receiver all season and one of the worst plays by any player, full stop. The other pick-6 was followed immediately by a 75-yard TD pass to Kendrick Bourne.
  5. Lots of pearl-clutching from the Panthers about this play, but I guess it depends on whether you believe Mac when he says that he thought Burns had the ball. Mac has had plenty of other opportunities to cheap shot opponents but this is the first example I am aware of, so he might get the benefit of the doubt. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets fined so that the league can appease the lobbyists.
  6. If you look solely at the numbers, Mac Jones is on pace to have a rookie season that is at least comparable statistically to Tony Eason's two best - and only decent - seasons in 1984 and 1986. (And, by the way, I was shocked to see that Eason even had two decent seasons, as he was never even the best QB on his own team at any point in time). But the numbers don't tell the whole story, as Mac is widely praised in his current locker room and by his college teammates as a great leader and for his poise and toughness. On the other hand, Eason was reviled by his teammates and derided by them as "soft". Despite a couple of decent statistical seasons, Eason never seemed to have the makeup or leadership qualities of a NFL QB, which Mac appears have in spades.
  7. He is better than I was expecting. During the preseason, I thought his ceiling was prime Kirk Cousins. I think that still might be the case, but after watching every snap he has taken so far in the regular season, I think it is more likely than not that he will reach that ceiling … and he is already better than the young Kirk Cousins I thought might be his floor.
  8. RIP Savage. Great guy and was always super gracious to me here and on JI … no easy task during times when I was letting my Pats fandom show.
  9. Mac Jones's floor is young Kirk Cousins and his ceiling is peak Kirk Cousins.
  10. Here's BB singing Wilson's praises on the "Belestrator". https://www.patriots.com/video/belestrator-preparing-for-zach-wilson-and-the-new-york-jets
  11. I've played her online a couple times in 1/0 blitz (won 1/lost 1) - I am just over 2100 FIDE so we are pretty evenly matched. The cool part was going to her twitch accounts after the games and watching her commenting on the moves as we were playing.
