Well, well, well, Mahomes has fallen on that CBS QB rating. Interesting after two games. I still feel Baker should be above Stafford. Unsure what they are thinking there.
The NFL need to keep the new kick-off rules. Too much chaos to keep changing things all the time.
Fully agree with Kay on Browning.
Good article on the Commandos new dome. Holy cow, almost $4 billion. Interesting at the end of the article were all the other teams actively pursuing new venues. Thinking soon, the Bucs may be talking about a new stadium too.
