I think what I still can't get past more than anything is that they tried to make a move against Chicago while staying in Cook County. Chicago and Cook County aren't officially consolidated like San Francisco or Philadelphia, but the two hardly have an adversarial relationship--broadly speaking, what's good for the city is good for the county, and losing the Bears would have been bad for the city. (Of course, keeping them under Saint Kevin's onerous terms might be even worse.) And so no one except the McCaskeys could be that surprised when the county assessor found a way to hit them with a tax bill they couldn't afford and scuttled their plans. Arlington Heights was going to be in its own county once upon a time, but then the northwest suburbs started voting Democratic and I haven't heard about it since. Maybe the Bears had bad intel there too. I can still see an open-air stadium on Roosevelt with mostly private funds. Something like what the Seahawks have with covered stands. Maybe Beyonce can split the difference and only do a ten-night residency.

So are the Falcons thinking that they can "Jordan Love" Michael Penix?

WOLVES WIN

The Kraken use more of a light teal than a powder blue so I don't see the issue.

Purple should be the main color, since neither the Kings nor Ducks really want to embrace it.

These are blue and not purple right? I'm not seeing incorrectly? Regardless, it definitely doesn't match the purple of the hats and belts (nor the logos nor the merch). I have to assume this is UA not being able to produce the purple because the team did tweet something a while back about ordering purple jerseys.

"Philadelphia," which is operating as a full-time road team, is number three on the list now. We're two days out from the season starting... or are we?

They’re lucky they share a division with Tepper’s toxic trash heap.

I absolutely love them.

Nfl network just showed vikings cheerleaders and they had the wordmark shown on the leaked alt in big font across their chests. It's real

Selfishly I hope Utah avoids light/powder blue so the Kraken can be the main light blue franchise in the league. Although our primaries are dark blue so that opens the door. Bet they go a light blue primary with a black-dominated logo. Brown would be a nice color to get into the NHL but it’s all about selling merch these days

Ohio State had something like that in the 1950's. Eventually it became the sleeve stripes under Woody Hayes.

Next years QB class looks bleak, which is why I suspect everyone is reaching. Didn’t really want Nix but would rather him than McCarthy and he seems to be a pretty good fit for Payton’s offense, so whatever.

I hate the Falcons so much. Dropping 180M on a guy and drafting his replacement (who is 24 with an even worse injury history) is flat out embarrassing. By the time Kirk’s contract is done, Mike Penix will be 28. Brandon Weeden 2.0. Especially with the pass rush as bad as it is and no defensive players off the board at all. This is generational malpractice.

With the 10th pick in the NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select Brady Quinn 2.0. Broncos: Hold our beer. With the 12th pick in the NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select Jake Locker 2.0.

This is going to end up being the most overvalued QB draft class ever. Six in just twelve picks? What?

I mean, it’s still an upgrade from Zach Wilson. In the same way that getting t-boned is an upgrade from getting crushed between two semis.

Now Denver picks Bo Nix, who has like a third round rating. This draft feels like it’s being run using AI.

Apparently Detroit and Tampa Bay are in discussion too. Id love for these cities to be in MLS but they need to be the USL clubs promoted to MLS like Orlando and Cincinnati, not new separate clubs killing the current USL clubs like St Louis and San Diego.

Now I'm sorry I asked. Good lord, man. Those stripes would be awful. No need for a test, it's already obvious that he's high on something.

How often does a team win the draft and then go on to win the league? It happened in Draft Day, but that's the only time I remember.

That goes for his brain too.

Like, I know Cousins has the structural integrity of wet cardboard, but this is a little much. Outside of Williams, the lower half of this first round has been bizarrely stupid.

Now that an unexpected QB is off the board and not a position player, I think Howie is smelling some blood in the water... get ready for a move up to around 12 - 14.

I am not understanding the vast majority of these picks. Daniels I already said Maye is a weird pick when you need EVERYTHING else Alt over Nabers Are you kidding me? Now Atlanta. What are these teams smoking?
