Watching Clayton Kershaw this season, it seems like he can do it forever. But, he’s still one of the best pitchers in baseball every time he’s on the mound. Not every pitcher is as lucky. There have been a number of formerly very good pitchers that aren’t just average this season. They’ve looked awful. I’m talking last season of Parks and Rec bad. It happens to the very best in the game....

Ah, good old Dillon Brooks. The man who said this: And then backed up ZERO of his shit talking. He’s one of the worst heels of all time. Every so often we get a Dillon Brooks in our lives. A guy who says something so outrageous, it goes viral and all that only for him to suck. So I’ve compiled a definitive list of guys I remember doing the exact Dillon Brooks....

I’ve recently joined a kickball league. I wasn’t exactly sure what I was getting myself into. All I knew is that it was co-ed, and our league was the “recreational division”. There are 4 divisions, and recreational is supposed to be the 3rd most competitive. I was very much under the impression that it was a laid back thing. I mean, even in the competitive leagues, people can’t take kickball THAT seriously can they?...

Each commanded more playing time as the season went on. Each ended up with over 260 coverage snaps. And both simply looked like they have the athleticism and mental makeup to be trusted against NFL competition. And it’s not unfair to say he was the weakest link in the secondary. If there’s a drain that needs to be plugged, that is it. Bill Belichick’s pop in at this position has evolved over the years....

His playing weight is probably closer to 190 lbs, which would be ~15 lbs. is Drew Brees, which would be a great pick. The Panthers have Austin Corbett, Bradley Bozeman, and Brady Christensen from Left Guard to Right Guard. Only one of those guys rank in the top half of their position groups per PFF....

I’ve updated my formal quantitative player power rankings and Spencer Strider is officially the best pitcher in baseball. Even if we just said the same thing about Gerrit Cole yesterday. I am making a full pivot from the Barstool Baseball collective and unilaterally giving that designation to Spencer. (Subject to change tomorrow, obviously.) The numbers are insane… 49 strikeouts in 30 innings against 14 hits and 11 walks*. The baserunner to strikeout ratio is preposterous....

Not all “don’t draft a running back in the first round!” debates are created equal. That’s true with Jahmyr Gibbs of Alabama. The Over/Under at 1.5 running backs to be drafted in Round 1 has shifted. …And I hope the Bengals are the team that makes Gibbs the second tailback off the board. According to King, multiple teams have Gibbs as this class' RB1 over Bijan Robinson. Did TikTok pull a Twitter Blue without me realizing?...

Thought for sure my brain was fried tonight. I’ve written roughly 5,000 unpublished words from Friday through the weekend about the NFL Draft. Those are coming soon.
