This game is so bad the Weather Channel doesn’t want it. [Yahoo!]
Will anyone catch Brock Purdy in the race for MVP? [NFL]
Stupid human tricks. [TikTok]
Yeah, Raiders fan is about right. Taylor Swift is a six. Maybe a seven if she didn’t wear clown makeup. [Outkick]
Joe has zero issue with Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon being on the team’s bench, listening on a headset. She said she wants to learn and understand what’s going on. It’s her team. She wants to make good decisions as a result. What’s the problem? [Front Office Sports]
Texts from a Michigan tight end got leaked where he details dysfunction in the locker room and a disconnect between some players and coaches; defends Bryce Underwood and hints he’s not being used right. Joe finds this enlightening, not disturbing. Props to the kid for his courage to be truthful and honest. [Sport and State]
Leopard vs. lizard. [TikTok]
Objectivity. [Awful Announcing]
More under-center offenses = more aggressive defenses?

Iām tired of referees showing up to the stadium with MAIN CHARACTER energy. š
Throwing penalties on Vrabel like youāre giving a basketball coach a tech, dropping āFā bombs on one of the leagueās best tight ends, then barking up the wrong tree in Minnesotaā¦
