    Sickener for the Jets. Go all in, mortgage the farm and Rodgers probably out for season at least.

    That Browns defense is much improved as well.

    Term "rookie mistake" never more true than tonight. Lining up offside for a FG just before halftime gave Bucs a first down that led to a TD & turned Mayfield's performance around. For some reason Vikings immediately changed up the defensive approach that had been running Mayfield ragged all...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    It suffers same image as cricket. Village cricket etc played by all sorts.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    RWC actually sums up Rugby's problem. It really isn't a global game. It might be played in many countries on some level but realistically there are only about 9/10 countries where it is played on comparatively large scale.

    Mahomes' contract will be about creating cap space. His cap hit is massive. All these big contracts do end up biting - look at Bucs problems with Brady's even after he retired. Costing them 35 m this season. Underpaid argument is more related to the silly amounts some of the 2nd tier QBs have...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Also football used some of the money for better facilities and importantly pitches. We don't see months of quagmire pitches some of us grew watching games on. English rugby threw money into wages and didn't develop the other parts so well. Also (my limited understanding) they haven't improved...

    Heat

    Those mornings are the killers. Plus they normally mean night temps aren't dropping much below 25. Makes sleep difficult. Lot of people here "migrate" downstairs for the summer due to it a bit cooler than upstairs. Not a big fan of Aircon but can't leave windows open at night because of the...

    Not that surprised lions beat chiefs. Circle of NFL life - Detroit now loaded (because they've been terrible) with young high draft picks on rookie contracts. Chiefs got away with average WRs last season because Kelce helped them get away with it. No Kelce last night, average WRs that couldn't...

    Heat

    We've been "celebrating" dropping down to 29/30 last week or so. Been another brutal summer. Main thing now is night temperatures dropping into the "teens" which does make the mornings and evenings more bearable.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Never taken a proper foothold in the North in the professional era. Just 2 teams that can only get gates of 6-7k. Just not a national game - it's regional much like Rugby League.

    So much talent will be wasted if Howell can't step up and/or the O line can't stop him getting mauled. Curious to see what Bienemy can do without a Mahomes and Kelce.

    defense still strong. wasting good receivers. Wouldn't be surprised to see Trask over at some time.

    A chance Saints win the division it looks really weak. Still talented if they can stay fit.

    Been on-and-off talk of swapping Lance for Cousins for 2 seasons but Lance kept picking up injuries and the Wilfs (Vikings owners) are still in love with Cousins. Other issue was 49ers having to go cheap at QB because of paying everyone else ruled (Bosa,Kittle, Williams,Armstead etc) out...

    Time to go again. Secretly hoping Vikings defense continues to have a nightmare so we can have a losing season in order to draft a QB. Heading slowly into a disaster with cap issues and Jefferson & Darrisaw still to get paid. Can't afford another Cousins extension no matter how well he is playing.

    F1 2023

    Yep just at another level because in this "round" of new regulations Newey has absolutely nailed it. Red Bull is an incredible car but also Mercedes have made an absolute mess of the last few years. Mercedes lost some key designers & engineers particularly to Red Bull for this round of F1...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    All these Vik comparisons - he got something like 3 goals in his 1st 20 odd games on loan here. We still signed him and that turned out pretty well. Price tag seems to muddy the waters. Simms has less than 25 championship games under his belt and it's a new club. Like any striker might just...

    One of the reasons he's ducking Fury. Fury's body punches are murderous.
