I was not able to corral them (yet), but yes there are places nearby I can take them.

Adam Gretz @adamgretz.bsky.social · 13h

There was no need to do that. None.

Adam Gretz @adamgretz.bsky.social · 13h

That is why the puck over the glass penalty rules. Make a play with the puck. That was stupid and deserved to be punished.

NFL Week 6 reactions and overreactions. Big thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Brian Callahan and James Franklin firings, and how the grass is not always greener. The Miami Dolphins. Jaxson Dart. Baker Mayfield. More! adamgretz.substack.com/p/nfl-week-6...

NFL Week 6 reactions and overreactions

Let's talk some football, including a random college football coaching take (that is also connected to this week's NFL head-coaching change).

B/R asked me to grade every NHL team through the first week of the season. So I did. Some teams you can already tell have rancid vibes. bleacherreport.com/articles/252...

The NHL 15: Lane Hutson's contract is a big part of the reason Montreal is set up for long-term success. adamgretz.substack.com/p/the-nhl-15...

The NHL 15: Lane Hutson's contract has Montreal set up for long-term success

The Montreal Canadiens have an outstanding young core and now they are all signed long-term to extremely team-friendly contracts. The future is bright here.

Playing for a 48-yard Jake Moody field goal in the rain is not the play here. You gotta get closer.

Also I feel like it's human nature to avoid a 90 MPH rock flying at you when you only have a fraction of a second to think.

On one hand you have to take one for the team there. On the other hand that shit hurts so who am I to say that.

The other theory is he has locked it in more because he knows this is probably his last ride in the NFL, while also having a higher level of respect for Tomlin than he did the Jets staff.

I think it's possible he knows this is probably his last shot in the NFL plus a higher level of respect for Tomlin than he had for the Jets staff.

Adam Gretz @adamgretz.bsky.social · 1d

I still think he looks cooked sometimes. But he's also played better than I expected overall. So I will take it.

Working on the (not really serious but kind of serious) theory that he knew the Jets were not a serious franchise and treated the whole experience as such.

It is still early, and winning cures all so it will be interesting to see what happens when they lose a couple, but Aaron Rodgers has been quite literally the exact opposite of what I expected. Under the radar. Not annoying. No Pat McAfee.

The NHL 15: Anton Lundell is going to get his chance to show he's a top-line center. I think he's going to just have a monster year in Aleksander Barkov's absence. The Panthers will not slow down. adamgretz.substack.com/p/the-nhl-15...

The NHL 15: Anton Lundell gets his chance to shine

The Florida Panthers are about to show the NHL they have another No. 1 center on their roster.

How the heck did Montreal get Lane Hutson to sign that contract.

Adam Gretz @adamgretz.bsky.social · 2d

Traded to Cleveland as part of the CC Sabathia trade!

My "remember some guys" baseball brain always wants to say and write Matt LaPorta whenever Sam LaPorta does something.
