I was kinda wondering this too. Why are they writing checks with their mouth that their team is purposefully not going to cash?
Ummm. It's a team marketing and social media director selling rookie jerseys.

While it'd probably be more accurate to attach an image of the grim reaper to every team tweet going forward, this hardly constitutes trash talking or hyping the team. This isn't Rex predicting Super Bowls.

I just think it's dumb that the Broncos think that they're the first to think of or call their secondary the no fly zone. It's just such an obvious thing. It makes more sense for NY because no fly zones are partially enforced by military jets

In this case its like the USMNT calling out China for calling their defensive backs the Great Wall because they came up with the idea in 2010

An old coworker of mine lost an enormous amount of weight doing P90X, like well over 100 lbs. But he also quit going out to guzzle beer and eat chicken wings with his bowling team 4 nights a week which was probably even more significant. That feels like the part Fat Eddie is not committed to.

The biggest thing always seems to be that you're working out in a scheduled way, so you're eating better as not to waste the progress that you just made from your workout.

He's just repeating what was written for him.

Though I'm pretty sure Trump is fuming because apparently Golden State unanimously said "yeah, gently caress that poo poo" to a visit.

I think DJ is better than LevBell, but it's close. I think DJ has done more with a shittier o-line.

More NFL top 100 guys:

Should probably swap Earl Thomas and Sherman there.

30: Earl Thomas, FS
29: Mike Evans, WR
28: Landon Collins, SS
27: LeSean McCoy, RB
26: Travis Kelce, TE
25: Joe Thomas, OT
24: Russell Wilson, QB
23: Rob Gronkowski, TE
22: Ben Roethlisberger, QB
21: Richard Sherman, CB

As recently as like 10 months ago there were Chiefs fans who believed Eric Berry sucked and should be cut. Now he'll be the highest rated player on the team.

Feels good, being right.

I think bell is the better runner but johnson can play WR and basically burns everyone that doesn't respect that in addition to being a very good traditional back. also bell has had like 3 more years in the nfl and this was johnson's first full season as the #1 back

Yeah. There are better pure runners than Johnson, but Johnson is an outstanding receiver and I believe is good in pass pro too. I believe he also does return work as well. Leveon is good, but he also has Ben and Brown taking pressure off of him with a pads game. David Johnson doesn't get that benefit as much.

I think this is one of those moments where fantasy football actually gives a pretty good glimpse as to who had a better season. This doesn't take into account things like blocking or whatever but DJ's numbers were significantly better than Elliott or Bell, it wasn't even close.

DJ is a punishing runner and reminds me of the greats like Terrell Davis or Tomlinson which worries me that he'll get injured someday but the dude is amazing.
