Just do yourself a favor now if you haven’t already and make sure you are grabbing Demond Claiborne in every fking draft

Clearest path to getting on the field early season and has more juice than any back in the Vikings RB room

It’s simple.

🇨🇳 Este chico chino fue al pueblo de su abuela a pasar unos días.

Al ver que aún no se había casado, la abuela empezó a acosarlo con un baile repitiendo -Jiéhūn- 结婚 (cásate) y movientos ondulantes.

Un día, llamó incluso a sus amigas para meterle más presión.

Still can’t quite get my head around how cool this new tech is. Reading completely burned ancient scrolls without even opening them. Using lasers.

This is not from the Chiefs beat - its Vic Tafur predicting team O/U win totals, but he did say

"All signs point to Chiefs changing their Offense and giving Kenneth Walker II all those carries he never got with the Seahawks"

Andy Reid RB used to be the most profitable RB role in fantasy (Damien Williams, anyone?) - now that they have a legit RB does it swing back?

[Ryan Heath @RyanJ_Heath]

Target shares for various RBs in the season before / the season of playing under current Saints HC Kellen Moore:

Austin Ekeler: 17.3% -> 13.7%

Saquon Barkley: 13.8% -> 9.6%

Alvin Kamara: 19.6% -> 10.1%

Since 2024, Chris Godwin ranks 3rd in YPRR on plays with during-snap motion (3.99, behind only Puka Nacua and Nico Collins).

Even playing injured + without Liam Coen in 2025, he ranked 2nd (4.02).

Read through the two posts I'm quoting. Incredibly exciting stuff @FantasyPtsData

Harrison Ford says since he starred in Yellowstone people no longer want anything from him

They don’t want a photo. They don’t want an autograph.

They just want him to know they like the show.

“They don’t want a picture, they don’t want an autograph. They just want to tell me that they, um, like the show. And I think it’s because I’m in their living room now, and I’m much more familiar. It’s a testament to what television does. It’s , somehow, more intimate relationship now. And they don’t want anything. They just want to, for me to know that they like the show. And, ‘Thank you very much.’ They even like…”

The reason expensive "travel sports" have become a big deal in the U.S. is largely to allow parents to buy friends for their children of the same social class: if you are affluent, you all drive to nearby cities and stay in motels to play. If you are rich, you fly across country.

⚡️ This healthcare admin chart is a photograph of something nobody will name.

America built a welfare state in disguise, and the disguise is what the chart measures.

The purple line grew because the country refuses socialized medicine by name and refuses industrial policy by name, so it runs both through one sector.

Healthcare is where America hides its safety net, its jobs program, and its regional stabilization policy, denominated as private employment so nobody has to vote for any of it.

A German sees the welfare state on his pay stub. An American sees a hospital chargemaster, because the design objective is to not be seen.

Look at what those millions of admin jobs are: mid-skill, credentialed, geographically distributed, cannot be offshored. The same profile as the manufacturing jobs America lost to China in the 2000s, and the same role in the economy. One anchor employer per region, except the new anchor produces paperwork about sickness instead of goods. Healthcare quietly became the top employer in 40 states as the factories left. The strangulation and the safety net are the same object. That is why every reform attempt dies: both parties periodically aim at the waste, discover the waste is payroll in every district, and re-aim at the other party's donors.

The second hidden function is darker. Every rich country rations care openly. A national body says no, this treatment, this queue, this budget. America outsources the no to a diffuse private bureaucracy so denial arrives as administrative failure instead of political decision. The prior-auth maze isthe rationing mechanism. Friction does the job a public "no" would do, at ten times the cost, with responsibility atomized across a million cubicles where nobody ever decides anything. The cruelty is a design requirement. Nobody voted for the death panel, so the country bought a deniable one and staffed it with 3 million people.

Now ask what those 3 million people do all day. Prior authorizations. Claims coding. Denials. Appeals. Eligibility checks. Reading documents, applying rulebooks, generating paperwork. That task profile is precisely what AI language models do, and it is the single largest white-collar automation target in the American economy. Insurers are already deploying it: automated claims review is live, and the lawsuits over algorithmic denials have already been filed. The machine aimed at this chart is not hypothetical. It is in production.

And it deletes something bigger than jobs. It deletes the deniability. An algorithm that says no is a policy that says no. The moment adjudication is automated, denial stops being weather and becomes a decision someone owns, subpoenaable, benchmarkable, litigable. America's entire healthcare settlement rests on nobody owning that decision. Those early lawsuits are the leading edge of a forced confession.

Step back and the collision is between two versions of the same strategy. AI investment now drives over a quarter of US GDP growth: it is the country's current attempt to manufacture prosperity without voting for industrial policy. Healthcare administration was the previous attempt.

The new hidden-policy machine is pointed at the old one.

If it fires, America deletes its disguised welfare state and its disguised rationing system simultaneously, in the top employer of 40 states, with no political vocabulary for what replaces them.

We need to start talking about Patrick Mahomes. He hasn't played like the guy we were introduced to lately.

His 2024 season was downright mediocre. At best, honestly.

But he has been mixing a LOT of bad football in since 2020. What's changing?

He's still the best improviser and playmaker I've ever seen, but the top-end plays are dwindling and the mistakes aren't going away. He's always been a flawed player, but the highs were high enough to counteract the lows.

Mahomes has never been a good post-snap processor. That's just not his strong suit. He gets overly attached to his favorite targets/1st read. The Chiefs mitigate this now with lots of the same, creative screens & half-field reads that they always have.

They used to ALSO have a hall of fame WR named Tyreek Hill who was basically always open, and Travis Kelce used to be even more unguardable than he is now. This gave Mahomes two targets to focus on.

With just one remaining, he becomes extremely predictable. Kelce has also lost a few steps, so Mahomes is focusing on smaller and smaller throws. Mahomes has ALWAYS been very mistake prone.

Fumbles, inexplicable misses, bailing out of clean pockets and failing to notice open WRs - none of that is new. What has changed is that he used to make big-time, explosive throws to compensate for these mistakes. Basically, Mahomes lost his explosiveness, and a lot of it (not all of it) is because he can't just lean on Tyreek like a crutch. His deep accuracy dropped from nearly 50% in 2020 to 41% in 2024, and he went from creating elite throws at one of the highest rates to average.

Mahomes can still raise his game in crunch time, and few are capable of hitting the highs that he can, but from down to down he has become much less than his reputation. It seems like a lack of focus. Hopefully, an embarrassing Super Bowl performance refocuses him.

@JohnnyPenisUFC Does anyone know what the tattoo on his chest is

[Matt Harmon @MattHarmon_BYB]

Nico Collins from 2023 to 2025:
- 2nd in yards per route
- 10th in targets per route
- 6th in first downs per route

Keeps company with all the best receivers in the league during this span while running a real-deal route tree as the Texans' X-receiver.

Just need him to stay healthy for all 17 games to register a raw stats season worthy of his talent.

[Matt Harmon @MattHarmon_BYB]

It's totally cool and not frustrating at all to see Garrett Wilson turn up a bunch of incredible comps based on his charting data, yet still be held back from reaching that production ceiling.

We'll see what 2026 holds.
