Parker Romo tried to kick it off the ground? Got lucky his leg didnt get there first or he mightve really messed up his leg

Duncan @duncandrafts.bsky.social · 6d

That is such an unserious challenge

Im pretty sure every Falcons game exists in a vacuum and has no bearing on anything else in the universe

Interesting note on CFB openings, especially Penn State's, the NFL season doesn't end until January 4th but the transfer Portal opens Jan 1

Please somebody tell me they saw that Kevin Jennings behind the back pass

I remember when I was studying Spanish in college and told my professor that my family loved the US and even named my Tío Roosevelt after Teddy. She was surprised because she never heard of native Panamanians liking the US pretty much at all. Great video on the subject

2025 Week Seven Prospect Watch

No matter how unexciting a week looks on paper, you never know what you will get in the end. After an incredible week five, we had an encore worthy performance out of week six of college football that...

Finally finished moneyball last night, and have spent 10 minutes of every hour getting more mad about the Stott bunt than I already was

Saw Ben Johnsons idea and said "I can do better"
