The old Browns never cease to amaze me. On his podcast, Gregg Williams tells a story that up until 2 hours before the draft the front office was fighting over whether to take Myles Garrett or Mitch Trubisky, with the consensus wanting Trubisky. Sounds like there were some "threats" thrown around that swayed the momentum to Myles. JFC....of all of the all-time "no brainer" picks that would've been the ultimate botch.

posted by justincredibleSpeaking of Denver, their new uniforms are butt. They coulda went the Jets route and went with the throwback full time but, for whatever reason, didn't.
Shitty uniforms = kiss of death. Browns went to those shit sack uni's back around 2015-2017 and had an 0-16 season. Thanks Hue!

Yesterday was the first game I've watched in a long time. Nice AB by Naylor when he hit the 3 run double.
Jets traded Zach Wilson and a 7th rounder to Denver for a 6th. Jets will also pay part of Wilson's salary.

But sweet pickles……NO!
Dill pickles and spicy pickles, YES! Sweet/bread & butter, or any sweet relish, nasty.
As far as mayo goes, I'm likely in the minority regarding that condiment but can't stand mayo, love Miracle Whip.
I love dill pickles.

posted by HereticNot sure if it's actually an unpopular one, but I do get annoyed by just how prolific random-ass remakes/reboots of established movies or TV shows have gotten. Almost to the point where it can feel at times that it's easier to get one of those approved than it would be to get an original idea through.
For example, the original Halloween was great. We didn't need two directors inferior in every way to John Carpenter to try their hand at re-doing it, with all sorts of extra exposition as to why Michael Myers acted like he did.
Let me add that Rob Zombie should've never touched the Halloween franchise. Those movies were BRUTAL.
Not sure if considered "pop culture" or more of an "old man get off my lawn" take but the fact that most under 25 can't hold an intelligent conversation unless it involves their phone.

posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieGuess his search for the “real” killers will never conclude.
Not that we'll likely ever know but was thinking last night if there might have been a death bed confession to his family but, with his ego, I doubt it.

Other than that trial, didn't hear much about him afterwards except for a few snippets.

posted by j_crazyi think houston is leary of diggs. i see this morning where they are letting him test free agency after next year. so if he's the same sideline headcase that he was in buffalo (and minnesota for that matter) i would imagine he's a cowboy after this upcoming season.
I would be. Josh Allen and crew had to pass his petulant "give me the ball" cries off for "competitive fire." Dude wants the ball thrown to him EVERY down. He's not going to get that with how stacked the Texans weapons are.
Getting higher water here and my back yard is a pool.
A little off topic but water related. Earlier in the week, a pickup truck driver hit a lady that was walking, after dark, just off a rural road that I live on. Truck threw the lady into the flooded ditch, guy (or lady) took off and left the lady for dead. They found her dead in the ditch a while later.

posted by HereticYeah, with his weapons going elsewhere, people will be talking about how Allen's a freak athlete who makes stuff happen...while he's setting a single-season turnover record.
They improved their running game last year but their offense always seems to be predicated on Allen playing hero ball. If he has an off day, doesn't seem like the supporting cast steps up and bails him out. Kind of "all or nothing" with him. Losing these weapons, including one of the best centers in the league, won't help.
Bills trading Stefon Diggs to the Texans. Texans offense kind of loaded:
QB- CJ Stroud
RB- Joe Mixon
WR- Stefon Diggs
WR- Tank Dell
WR- Nico Collins
TE- Dalton Schultz
