Drake Maye is an MVP candidate.

the shit thing about this is the current programming -- rock block, 90s nation, 120 minute reruns -- were absolutely made for YouTubeTV where you can fast forward through the garbage and land on songs you forgot you liked.

"ok, so it says here our ads confuse people?"
"confuse? confuse how? it's a mythic buffalo whose bloodlust for the apocalypse can only be sated by boneless wings."
"well yes, everyone's clear on that. but they want to know: does he get his dick wet???"

Week 6 gross QBs is up

yep, it's who you expect

Mac Jones, Justin Fields and the grossest QBs of Week 6

Christian D'Andrea @trainisland.bsky.social · 2d

Christian D'Andrea @trainisland.bsky.social · 2d

oh we might be getting the Matthew Golden breakout today

Chris Boswell's plant foot takes out a divot roughly 2 inches into the dirt because the Steelers turf serves no master but chaos

Drake Maye good for 21+ EPA, 4-4 on throws at least 15 yards downfield on a day where his top receivers are Pop Douglas and Kayshon Boutte
