Obviously nearly every team would want Aaron Rodgers but even with him, you have a tiny window....
New York Jets As a sports fan, you have to feel for the Jets. I wouldn’t let Zach Wilson drink out of the same bowl as my dog. The Jets won the game, but they lost the season 9.

Baltimore Ravens The Ravens beat the Texans 25-9 on Sunday, but the score doesn’t reflect the game....

I wrote this blog 6 years ago… A number of readers have asked me to share my recollection of 9/11. That wasn’t something people just assumed back then. But that innocence was about to be taken. We all knew we were under attack. I did not see the second plane hit because I never left the desk. I say “monster” because Ric had a reputation for being brutal to his clerks....

As I’ve said before, we’ve always preferred victories of the immoral kind. They’re much more useful when it comes to playoff tiebreakers. But this is where we find ourselves. –There was way too many unacceptable moments in this one, which we are about to get into. But I don’t think I’m alone in saying I was preparing myself for a lot worse. So I was expecting a bumpy flight. But our Foxboro-based flight crew cleaned it up....
