(The mention of “advanced analytics” here is particularly curious in that front offices have complete access to Statcast player-tracking data and all the metrics that come from it, while agents and players do not, but that’s another subject.)

Someone want to explain to Tony Clark how PED use by the players also threatened the very integrity of the game?

Someone dug up footage somewhere of Nick Foles running that same TD-reception play in high school. Successfully then, too.

One of the Saints that came back out was the kicker. Had to be one of the hardest things for those 11 guys to do. So, you’re right. Respect.

So much this.

You could ask the same question of our country.

Manfred v Le Batard is basically two skunks having a pissing contest.

It’s nice to see the old adage “Don’t judge a book by its cover” proved wrong again.
