The Football armpit of the year is upon us.....

This is it folks.

This is the time of year that absolutely nothing in football happens. The best we can hope for is for julius to sign his tender, stewart get better, we sign some rooks, and no one else end up in jail....

So go out, BBQ, fish, play with your kids and enjoy your summer.

This is the calm before the storm! Get ready!

July is the worst when it comes to sports.

NFL-Offseason

NBA-Offseason

NHL-Offseason

MLB-All star break

No college sports... but it's funny to see ESPN try to grasp for stories. Remember Favre watch from last year?

July is the worst when it comes to a lot of other things as well. All the good movies are already out, TV is in reruns except for horrible reality shows, most outdoor events take place in June and August, and to top it all off what little sports media there is generally sucks (more than normal in some cases).

Do you consider NASCAR a sport....I dont think its a "sport" but can be entertaining...

I don't care for NASCAR, but if you don't think it's a sport and the drivers are athletes then you're not thinking. Think about driving 200 miles an hour for several hours surrounded by inches with other drivers trying to pass you and you trying to pass them. All of us have been up to 70 mph, now imagine 3X that speed with traffic closer than on the interstate. Imagine pissing or shitting your pants because of course you can't pull over for something so trivial as bodily functions. Oh, and don't forget to turn your air conditioner off while simulating...

    • I’ve rewatched it a few times. Impressive.   Rolls out about 5-6 steps, flicks his wrist, all arm, never even set his feet. Flick… All the way across the field from the 47 to the 24… perfect spiral… and dropped it in the bucket for Sanders. That had to of been 40 yards in the air? He looked so natural doing it.  All teams have that play in their book, but when run, it’s so ugly. Complete duck. Uncomfortable.  This guy is a weapon. There aren’t many non-QBs in the league make that throw and make it look so natural. He looked completely comfortable. I hope they draw up more plays for him like that. 
    • The information about knee pain is significant, and if true and depending on the extent, I have changed my approach to the Moton issue.  First, his performance has not dropped off but Moton has never been elite--he has been solid and dependable--maybe our best player over the past 5 years.  However, extending a big man with knee issues is VERY risky--the question is not "if" it is "when."  The "Left Tackle is more important that Right Tackle" argument is not valid any more.  Watt, Bosa, Crosby, etc. prefer rushing from the RT side--Bosa had this to say about rushing when he is not on the blind side:  "“When it’s right there, you don’t really even have to completely get off your block . You can kind of just reach over and knock it out sometimes.”  Getting a hand on the ball and stripping it is easier than getting off a block and tackling the QB, so the most destructive pass rushers in the NFL play defensive left tackle. Having said that, Moton is incredibly important, but extending him may seem risky--HOWEVER--most big men who have played OL in the NFL for a decade have knee soreness---I have not seen a major problem in his history: Week 17, 2024: Moton missed the Panthers' loss to Tampa Bay due to a knee issue. He didn't practice during the week and was considered doubtful for the game. Week 2, 2024: Moton experienced knee sorenes 2019: Moton had a questionable knee injury.  Is Brady Christensen good enough to start at RT in the NFL?  If not, I think the solution is to extend Moton with less guaranteed money and add a young RT through the draft or free agency.  Cade Mays' performance means that C is not something we MUST address, so a depth, developmental RT is smart.  Furthermore, we still have Nijman on the roster, and he played RT for Moton during the Tampa Bay game--he was not good, however. If you do not have a LT, RT, and a swing T who can hold his own in the NFL, your roster is not complete.      
    • I Never harped on the batted balls as much as his other concerns. The thing is qbs who can drive a ball with velocity tend throw it at a lower trajectory anyway so that leads to more bats. Bryce passes are more loft oriented so they have a high arc when leaving his hands. Those are just harder to bat.
