The great Mina Kimes (@minakimes.bsky.social) came on the show to help make sense of the confusing teams this season. Also talked Darnold, and some cool Xs and Os trends. youtu.be/Rvpc2gBGeNA?...

Didn't expect to, but I'm enjoying the new Robin Hood series

I love that something like Grantland was attempted, and hate that it failed. It's such a shame how hard it is for something like that in a world of Stephen A. Smithification of the current media landscape.

This tackle attempt is artwork

Brian Daboll leaving the Giants facility for good:

The way some people drive, they really deserve to have accidents. 29 degrees out, snow on the ground, and your dumbass monster truck is 10 feet from someone's bumper doing 80mph.

There is no sum of money you can pay Disney to lose ads from ESPN. The absolute fucking worst.

Seahawks/Cardinals update:

Every corporation is, at all times, trying to squeeze every last dollar from you they can. Just apply the damn credit automatically to everybody that's affected, don't bet on a bunch of them not going through the instructions to do so.

I'm so late to this, but American Primeval is awesome!

Luxury watch brands really take the piss with the price of their straps/accessories. I can just about buy the idea that the extra finishing and investment of the watch itself justifies crazy money. But the same leather strap you can get in China for $10 is $600? No, sir.

Someone's definitely made content where they bought everything they saw during the commercial break over a show, right? You basically just end up with a stack of drugs, some beer and a Ford F150, right?

Just a pair of performative bullshit artists taking in a game

How many watches is the perfect number for a collection?

Starting to think I should just pivot to being 100% a watch guy over here rather than football 😂

Youtube TV and ESPN fighting in the latest round of 'whoever wins, you lose'. Fun times as a consumer.

All of a sudden, the Ravens are a game back from the division lead with 2 games against the team ahead of them.

I'm growing to hate chest flys

I'm now old enough to be growing disappointed with the modern generation failing to appropriately respect good players whose numbers aren't spectacular from 'back in my day'. Full boomer.

Rookie Seahawks DB Nick Emmanwori has already flashed in the slot, as a box safety, and as a blitzer. Both @sammonson.com and I are excited to see how Mike Macdonald weaponizes him as the rest of the secondary gets healthy. 🎧: apple.co/4nc3RaF 📺: youtu.be/Sld6gtTG-NM?...

Man, that John Candy documentary just made me sad

First ep of the CTM Book Club. David Fleming telling us the story of the Dallas Texans, the last NFL franchise to fully fail: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJf3...

😂

Both @sammonson.com and I agree: Whether Indy can stop Justin Herbert largely depends on whether the pass rush can cook like it did last week. 🎧: apple.co/4nc3RaF 📺: youtu.be/Sld6gtTG-NM?...

Haven't done this in a while. Newest watch. A Venezianico. ##WristCheck

Dean Blandino joined the show today to explain why sometimes it seems OK to punch players in the face...as long as it's not a QB. We also broke down the no-call DPI on MNF and some replay philosophy, among other things. Always fun! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLkF...

Joined @sammonson.com and @stevepalazzolo.bsky.social for a fun chat about the down 8 go for 2 gambit, and if shifting conversion rates have changed the recommendation -- or not! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7Az...

Looking forward to The Long Walk. Read the Stephen King book the other week and thought it was pretty good.

The power of parenthood is crazy. My daughter's only just into middle school competing in sports, and already I get more nervous for her to do well than I ever did in anything I ever did in sports.

Took up golf again after like 25 years. First go at the range with a proper driver

I gave golf up like 20+ years ago. Started playing again a few weeks ago. Hate it and myself already.

Soccer's 'advantage' rule needs to work more like rugby's imo. Play advantage, but if they don't actually gain any advantage, go back for the foul. It shouldn't be either/or.

Every time a powerful person over 80 is in the news I think about the Billy Connolly bit during the time Ronald Reagan was going senile. youtu.be/DX3yHiIOpzQ?...

I'm still shocked that the Micah Parsons stuff is real. I assumed right up until it happened that it was the standard Dallas contract manufactured drama I'm still struggling with the concept that Jerry genuinely tried to do a deal over the head of the agent and got big-mad when Micah looped him in

Reaction video to Micah Parsons being TRADED!! News so big we had to get Steve to pull over in rural Tennessee to cover it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwAl...

Greg Olsen isn't just the best color guy, he's the best prepared and best at communicating the process.

OK, Alien Earth first two eps were great. In ready to be hurt again by the series going in a stupid direction in future Also, fun fact. Adrian Edmondson went to the same school as I did

Everybody should have a Casioak #wristcheck

www.youtube.com/live/2lWpcQp... Instant reaction to Shedeur's debut

With this ESPN deal, the NFL is getting closer and closer to actually directly owning/operating a sportsbook at the same time as trying to maintain integrity of the sport. Hell of a needle to try and thread.

In case you missed it, the Broncos offensive line got a ton of love from Brandon Thorn on @sammonson.com's show. open.spotify.com/episode/6Cj7...
