Lanny Poffo, 68....better known as "The Genius" or "Leapin' Lanny Poffo" during his time in the WWF/WWE. Also the brother of Macho Man Randy Savage.
posted by Ironman92Perine doesn’t seem like a lead guy…but I really do like what he brings. Their passing attack is great enough that they should be able to plug another back in there with him.
Agreed. He's not a bell cow but when the Browns play them I'm thinking "I hope Perine doesn't get a lot of touches" because he concerns me more than Mixon. Dude is such a load that he can create his own holes, regardless of how bad their O-Line is in run blocking.

posted by friendfromlowryThey should just cut him now. There was a chance they were going to anyways.
Mixon puts up solid numbers but Perine just seems like a load and more of a rushing weapon.
^^^^ I think it's going to be Derek Carr

posted by friendfromlowryI know I’m in the minority but the announcers make very little difference to me.
Actually, let me make my cold take colder: I hate Gus Johnson and his constant fucking yelling.
LOL....you're not off base.
I've heard bits & pieces of Brady's "Let's Go" podcast with Larry Fitzgerald and it's kind of "meh."
posted by Laley23I personally think he will suck at broadcasting. Olsen is fantastic, FOX should be very careful how they approach this.
Agreed. Unless he's been hiding something, TB12 is going to come off pretty lame/boring to me.
Would've been hilariously ironic if he had retired tomorrow, on Groundhog Day.

I'm surprised he didn't reconnect with McDaniels in LV. Had also heard Miami, SF and New England, not being totally out of the realm of possibility.
The shitty part is that, if he goes into broadcasting, I think he'll replace Greg Olson, who is one of the best in the business. CBS should dump Romo and hire Olsen in his place.
Tom Brady retires, again. This time it's apparently "for good."

Easy...the Ginger Water Pistol/Heat Miser and I'm not even a Bengals fan. At least the last long(er) term QB.

Jacoby Brissett doesn't deserve it and he has a WAY better argument than Tyler Huntley and his 2 TD passes and 3 picks in six games.
Was listening to a national guy on the drive home and the question was about the refs. He said "the NFL KNOWS it has a referee problem." He also went on to say that a lot of it is because the players continue to get faster & faster and they can't keep up on all of the calls. Essentially, the solution (according to him) would be to make most stuff reviewable. The games are already long enough.
posted by kizer permanenteI just think there's way too many people for a coverup like that.. especially people who are in and out of the league fast.. to just keep a story going like that.
Where I can't fathom it is some situations where ridiculous circle catches are made to win games. Or Hail Mary's like the triple coverage on DeAndre Hopkins where he caught the GW touchdown. If it's fixed what happens if they drop it?
I know there's been accusations about this before but seems a bit far fetched...
I know that the Pro Bowl is a sham but wow....

posted by Laley23Yeah. I am not arguing the calls were wrong. I am arguing that KC didnt "get all the calls". Cincinnati benefitted as well.
Both teams benefitted. The TD that Pacheco ran in was a phantom hold. Chiefs got calls as well.
