@askmetostay323 Sproles clawed us back into that 2011 SF divisional game running those routes. 15 catches that game!

@NFLosophy While I agree with you, the reality is that lots of people enjoy (or at least get fulfillment from) participating in the drama. Most are aware it's a circus

@SaintsForecast Ohhhh I totally forgot his injuries were related to the Bucs' MRSA issues. OK, I agree with you. And with my memory refreshed, I feel terrible about the situation all over again.

@gsGOAT @datboywolf For sure. Some people forget, both before and even during the 2006 season, the media treated Reggie as the face of the franchise…not our short QB with the bum shoulder. We needed the excitement that Reggie brought

@JonoBarnes Not to mention his SI interview trashing New Orleans after his first year. The city is filthy, it's filled with tattooed gutter punks, the people have no pride, they don't even have a Nordstrom's, blah blah blah. I still have a copy:

@GingerGibson I recently read Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland (became One Battle After Another). A major theme is society's addiction to the "Tube" -- and includes a man running from ''the Tubaldetox goon squad'' who capture and treat sufferers of ''tubal abuse and video-related disorders''

@JonoBarnes Devil's advocate -- the Lynn Jones story was complete and ripe for people to form their takes. The Russini story was hazy, with more facts to follow, so it made sense for people to hold off on launching their takes.

@DKThomp I don't understand his point about "compressive" uses of AI. If I upload a million page document and ask for a 1-page summary, doesn't that still consume a massive amount of the "commodity"?

@mikeklis9news @MikeTriplett Love Snead, but he was never a speed receiver

@kohughes @SamMonsonNFL But they could have signed Hendrickson and saved those picks to begin with...

@RogueWPA @EsotericCD Eh, I scored pretty low and don’t fit either of those categories. Probably because I’m a lawyer, but I struggled to agree with very many — so many questions with “always,” “everyone” — even the idea of having a “right” to something without qualification gives me some heartburn

@Kat_Terrell Maybe the lesson is, players are by nature loyal to their coaches, regardless of whether the coach is doing a good job according to external metrics.

@MikelSevere @JeffDuncan_ @pfref I think you're overrating it some. By 2008 and 2009, when Brees was elite, Reggie's snap % was falling off big time. Drew did just fine (sometimes better) with Pierre or Mike Bell in the lineup instead.

[no lemonade @nolemonade]

@JeffDuncan_ Not really. In addition to Reggie having a superior college resume, RBs were simply valued much more highly 20 years ago. The year before Reggie, THREE RBs were drafted in the Top 5 (Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson, Cadillac Williams -- two from the same school!). Different times

[no lemonade @nolemonade]

@ScottKacsmar Brees had EIGHT different seasons where he got votes for AP-OPOY. He is not in the same conversation of "good for a long time but never the best" players like Frank Gore.

[no lemonade @nolemonade]

@ScottKacsmar Brees is a pretty extreme anomaly. He had multiple seasons that would have gone down as historically dominant -- except, as luck would have it, they coincided with other QBs' historically dominant seasons (2011 being the most extreme example -- 2009 and 2018 also).

@NFL_DovKleiman For Saints, that comes out to just over 70k per game -- ain't no way that many people went to those games.
