I didn't stay up for the Bills-Ravens denouement, but am loving the result.  :laugh:

Another season of the New England Patriots aspiring to be mediocre.

The Bills-Ravens game was phenomenal.  Like watching two heavy weight champion fighters slug it out for 15 rounds.

Congrats, Bills!  The AFC East is all yours.  The Jets are ... The Jets.  Miami Dolphins have beached themselves.  The Patriots have reverted to the mean, to be The Patsies of old.

Thank goodness the Steelers didn't keep Wilson or Fields (both were on the roster last year).

Since in the current day, Qbacks almost double as running backs, this is no surprise to me @DCPatriot .

At one time the Qback was instructed to stay in the pocket.

@berdie

Yes, you're right, but it seems odd that it went from less than 10% to over 50% in my lifetime.

Thought about possibly the number of Black High School and College QBs would explain the increase.

Re the above graphic, this week's results:

Young - lost
Williams - plays Monday vs. Vikings
Ward - lost
Stroud - lost
Prescott - lost
Smith - won
Hurts - won
Daniels - won
Love - won
Fields - lost
Murray - won
Jackson - lost
Penix - lost
Mahomes - lost
Wilson - lost
Rattler - lost

So the brothers were 5-10 in Week 1, with the game yet to be decided a probable L (Vikings are favored against Williams' Bears). Well, at least there are social justice slogans on their fields. It takes all of us! Inspire change! End racism!

UPDATE: Williams' Bears lost Monday night after the Vikings came from behind. Final tally 5-11.

Some interesting NFL trivia for you....

Remember when Rush Limbaugh lost his MNF job for simply stating that people wanted to see this?

Tyreek Hill accused of domestic violence by estranged wife

Tyreek Hill's estranged wife has alleged in court filings that he committed domestic violence, which the Miami Dolphins receiver has vehemently denied.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Keeta Vaccaro alleges eight separate incidents of domestic violence in filings related to the couple's divorce case.

Hill's attorney said in a statement Monday that the allegations are part of a "shakedown," adding that they are "an attempt to generate bad media coverage" for Hill.

According to TMZ, Vaccaro alleges that the first incident occurred in January 2024, about two months after her marriage to Hill.

Hill has not been criminally charged, and it was unclear as of Tuesday morning whether law enforcement was investigating Vaccaro's allegations.

Vaccaro filed a petition for divorce on April 8, one day after police reported a domestic dispute between her and Hill.

The evolution of Derrick Henry's stiff-arm
Jameson Hensley (Seriously, that's his name)

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was in his second year of Pop Warner football when he discovered the move that would strike fear into defenders over the next two decades.

At 7 years old, Henry was a tall and lanky running back who saw a defender closing in for the tackle. Then, he just did it.

Henry extended his arm and shoved his opponent to the ground.

"It was just something that came natural to me," Henry said. "So, I just kept putting my arm out there, and I would go for 50 yards."

Henry's signature stiff-arm has helped him become one of the NFL's all-time great running backs and leave smudges on the reputations of the best defensive players in the league. When Henry outmuscles Pro Bowl linebackers and defensive backs, it can cause years of embarrassment, leaving more mental scars than physical ones.

If Henry gets one-on-one with a would-be tackler when the Ravens play the Detroit Lions on Monday night (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN), he will likely unleash his stiff-arm, which might lead to another long run as well as a meme on social media.

Pats turned the ball over 5 times.

Thankfully the Jets and the Dolphins are both 0-3.

The Pats have not been numerically eliminated from the playoffs ... yet.

They need to cut Rhamondre Stevenson.  It's been 5 seasons, and he still has butter fingers.  There's no fixing habitually bad fundamentals.  Let him 'redeem' himself on another team's payroll and against another team's salary cap.

Going to be a good one, tonight!

Posted the article about Derek Henry's "stiff arm", which he's used since Pop Warner Football, age 7.

The beast has a wingspan of 3 inches shy of 7FT.

Opponents are afraid to tackle him in fear of becoming a timeless meme, being shoved away like a rag doll.
