My second book is out! It's called The Invaders, and it best fits in a suspense or thriller genre.

Yes, you should read it. That is my official recommendation.

Can do Paperback or Kindle:

@JasonHarmonNFL will always remember the Addison TD because, at that moment, it was the first time they were beating the shit out of an opponent in four years

[Dustin Baker @DustBaker]

These much-anticipated Game 7s often turn into blowouts for some reason. Hoping OKC-SA is different.

The Wilfs view Nolan Teasley, Kevin O'Connell and Rob Brzezinski as a leadership team that features experts in their particular fields. 🔺

@jbchoknows kinda like wondering if Mike Evans or De'Zhaun Stribling will be more productive this season in SF

it's pretty evident who has the track record

[Dustin Baker @DustBaker]

I was dumb and thought this summer Kyler Murray v. J.J. McCarthy battle would be pretty cool.

But I was dead wrong because I'm already rolling my eyes at our overreaction to every single detail. lol

[Dustin Baker @DustBaker]

@jbchoknows I think the next two months will be used to convince you it's a battle based on the team's verbiage. But I agree that it's a lopsided ordeal -- probably why Murray is the -1000 favorite from oddsmakers to win the job.

[Dustin Baker @DustBaker]

@cryptidfan27 this is an underrated take

[Dustin Baker @DustBaker]

It can be complicated. That's fine. But the fact remains that Kyler Murray is a -1000 sportbook favorite to win the QB1 job, which are the same odds as Steph Curry hitting a free throw or flipping a coin three times and landing on heads once.

[Vikings Central @VikesCentral]

Faster? Maybe. Their 40 yard times are pretty similar.

Kyler usually just dances around to buy time then make a 4 yard pass.

Which makes sense since his average DOT in 2025 ranked 38th out of 40 eligible quarterbacks.

More experienced at what exactly? Being average? I’m more excited about McCarthy’s potential vs Murrays mostly mediocre career (he can be better here, I agree.)

Murray is not this for sure thing like most people think he is. He’s a 5ft 8 quarterback with limitations.

His arm strength is there. When he can see over his line to make a pass down field and when he’s willing to do that. McCarthy’s arm strength is underrated IMO.

It’s more complicated than you think.

[Dustin Baker @DustBaker]

@SydneyNassiri haha. fair point.

[SleeperVikings @SleeperVikings]

“But you can only have a genuine competition if there is actual uncertainty about who the best quarterback on the roster is. With the caveat that this was one day in May, with no pads and some drills performed at half speed, it is only fair to point out that the gap between the two quarterbacks was not close.” - @SeifertESPN on the OTA battle between Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy

[Dustin Baker @DustBaker]

@Yfz84 should flex and be like, "yah he sent it to me."
