His wife's report puts the recovery as three distinct conditions: malaria, heart bruise, and depression. So until he was free of all of that, I can see why telling us all about it wasn't a priority for him.

Anderson for starting LT. Failing that, Anderson for President.

Good reminder that the defense played with severe talent drain at multiple positions. A developmental improvement from Austin and/or Bolden could make that a very good unit.

Yeah, this guy sounds like an amazing human being, and someone to root for. Just wow. I was a "dead man walking" this fall without knowing it, and a firm nudge to get checked out medically saved my life. "Grateful" is an entirely inadequate word in these cases. How amazing would it be for him...

Roasts are like the draft. You have to get some bad ones in order to get some good ones. And some of it seems very predictable after the fact.

That's probably part of it. And why not bet on yourself to establish something that player's want to be part of? They had that advantage for a number of years and know the benefits.

Edelman's was my favorite: “Alex Guerrero is the snake oil salesman that turned Tom into a complete weirdo.”

What evidence does anyone have that Strange is injury prone?

Offensive line picks in the 3rd round have a success rate of less than 40%, when success is defined as starting for half of a player's career. So to set a standard that 3rd round picks should be starters with upside (which means, by definition, better than average starters) is a setup to be...

Yeah, I think there's something to be said for that returning defense. Like every year, injuries will play a huge role. If they are one of the luckier teams in that regard, it could get done in two years. We should keep in mind that the other three teams in the division are only better than us...

This was a horrible trade offer, in part because of the pick swapping option. Imagine having to give up high picks for lower ones in the '25 draft, after a crappy rebuilding year for us and a playoff year for Minn. This place would melt down, and the OP would be at the front of the mob.

Source for that? I thought the reviews of his play last year were that he'd played as well as ever.

The X axis is about how many yards he gets after he catches the ball, on average. The Y axis is something to do with sexual conquests of women who have given birth. In both cases, way to go, kid.

Worth considering. Also brings up the question of whether karma can exist in the northern NJ swamplands.

Because people shmurgle the tribalism of fandom with players, as if the player's should have a sentimental loyalty to their employers like we do to our hometown teams. As if professional athletes should feel and behave as high schoolers. This confusion is happening all through society, where...
