And im out, have a great day, football fans!

CMU runs out of time, kick is no good, EMU runs to end the clock, so we'll go to halftime with the score sitting at a lopsided 21-6.

CMU with a nice return, looking to drive down for another score before halftime. 21-6 Chips, sitting near the 50 with a minute left.

Eagles finally get a bug play of their own, and they're marching.

Icing the kicker didn't work, CMU up 21-3.

Touchdown Chippewas, now up 20-3 with 10:46 left in the half. EMU called timeout on the XP, guess they're trying to ice the kicker or som'n.

Eagles finally get a stop on 3rd down, but Chips convert 4th and 1 and are now sitting 1st and goal.

CMU with ANOTHER big play, 1st and 10 from the 32, just beating the doors off their lesser in state rivals.

End of the first, CMU has dominated Eastern, has not been as close as the 14-3 score would suggest.

EMU needs to come up with something to slow down this Chippewa offense, they've had nothing so far.

EMU with a questionable 3rd down play call in the red zone followed by a personal foul. Forced to kick, 42 yard FG is good. 14-3.

CMU with their second big play of the game, this one long for a TD. XP is good, 14-0 with 5:04 left in the 1st. Not EMU's day so far.

Chippewas on the board with a neat one handed catch and stretch in for a score. XP is good. 7-0

When Alex told me that the NFL denied him a credential after we had booked the trip, I didn't panic at all because I knew he was going to write a killer story anyway Despite knowing that, I was floored at how fucking good it ended up being

Doing a study right now that's turned up some interesting results. If you score around 50th percentile in all 10 metrics we use for #RAS, you're about a 50th percentile RAS player. If you score around 70th percentile in all 10 metrics, you're around 8.6 RAS (86th percentile).

Short break and I'll finish up 21-32.

Since we've got final rosters set in for 2025 to start the season, it's time to rank the rosters by #RAS! Few surprises if you've been following me for any length of time, but that's why we do these, for fun! Note, the 2024 comps are from END season, so won't line up with last year PRE rankings.

The Patriots replaced a bottom-of-the-roster defensive tackle with an undrafted rookie wide receiver signing his first NFL deal on Monday. Here are 800 words on that move, including a look at split salaries, per diem payments, RAS scores (h/t @mathbomb.bsky.social), and a whole lot more.

As much as we wanted it. Carter smartly skipped testing. He didn't need to test to back up his tape, ya get what ya get.

Gonna test some functionality throughout the day, so let me know what players have impressed you the most throughout preseason so far? Please include team, will save me a step to make them look all nice.

Site update! Due to some updates with WP and some of the plugins my site uses, many of my filterable tables stopped working on the site, along with some of the more complex coded pages. This has happened before, but the fixes then were all relatively simple. Not this time.

Watching 1990 Night of the Living Dead, and its great. I do wonder how many zombie movies would lose pretty much all their tension and central survival conflict if they lived in a world where anyone, at any time, remembers that humans have been using spears for millenia.

We didn't learn too much from the Lions in the HOF game, the depth guys didn't look great on either side of the ball. The QB situation looks grim, but its one preseason game, plenty of time to turn that around. Ball control is trolly gonna be the focus between this and the next game.

Honestly haven't been a fan of the recent uni announcements for other teams, but these are sharp.

12 Angry Men is the best movie of all time in my opinion, and I think Lee Cobb was a generational villain in the film. But good lord did George C. Scott absolutely crush his portrayal in the 1997 remake.

Chatting with a friend and we remembered that Luke Cage ran combine drills in the show. No surprises, size from comics, splits projected, I'm assuming he benches and stops only when he's hit best ever, no need to show off.

The How to Train Your Dragon remake was fine. It thankfully didn't take anything away from what made the original story work, but it also added pretty much nothing to justify having been made at all. Not a bad film, it was even kinda good, but pretty pointless. Just watch the original.

There's millions of examples of bad dialogue in movies, but one of my favorites is Ron Perlman's line in Aliens Resurrection: "I am not a man with whom to fuck!"

Unexpectedly, If I were ranking the best Predator movies ever, the top three would consist of Predator 2 and two movies released since 2022.

Talked to @brettkollmann.bsky.social, Thinking Football, JaguarGator9, Alex Rollins and Samuel Gold about a scourge impacting the videos you get to see on YouTube How Catapult Sports is Killing Football YouTube www.wideleft.football/p/how-catapu...

Much deserved.

I made a modern metal playlist and wanted to put every Sleep Token and Make Them Suffer song open.spotify.com/playlist/2Cw...

You ever start making a Playlist and have to fight the urge to just add every song from one artist? Or break them up somehow? Doing a 2000s metal Playlist and I'm struggling to not add every Linkin Park song. Just so many bangers.
