New this week: I revisit Chicago's crime trends in the wake of Midway Blitz. The operation probably didn't impact crime in the city, but 911 calls -- especially from Hispanic areas -- fell substantially.

Go Pels
November 25, 2025 at 3:30 AM
Pels led by 16 plus at half 6 times in 14 games in March 2024 then haven't since.

20 months!

The Pelicans lead by 16 after 2, the first time being up by 16 or more at halftime for the first time since March 2024 against Milwaukee.

I'm sorry, but I won't believe the AI hype until it'll allow me to have a conversation about warp field theory with a creepy lifelike representation of Dr Leah Brahms.

Like basketball? Have four dollars?

You're 2-9! Even in the best of cases, he isn't part of your future. And there are a billion undradted rookies that could be the next big thing. Gross and dumb on so many levels.

I know he's not pulling the roster strings, but Kellen is not doing a damn thing to endear himself to fans.
_He's_ gone through an experience?

New Jeff-alytics podcast coming tomorrow, but there's still time to catch my conversation with Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner about data and prosecution.

I'm willing to give him some grace under the Guys Improve Theorem and fact that he's not controlling roster decisions that are crushing the team. But it's not a good sign that he's a 35 year old offensive guy coaching like a 60 year old defensive coordinator promoted the interim coach.

Glad we'll be paying Ruiz until 2028.
November 24, 2025 at 4:22 PM
He matched Rattler's career high for passing yards. Wasn't great but not devastating either.

The Saints are trying out Justin Tucker?!?!
November 24, 2025 at 3:56 PM
We're special.
November 24, 2025 at 1:39 AM
The Saints top 5 cap hits for 2026 AND 2027 are:

A 35 year old TE averaging 2 yards per carry
A 30 year old RB averaging 3.5 yards per carry
A 36 year old DE
A 36 year old LB
A 28 year old C who has played 14 games total the last 2 years.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
The Saints had 9 plays inside Atlanta's 10. They ran 8 designed runs by Hill and Shough and 1 Hill incompletion.

About out on Kellen Moore
November 23, 2025 at 11:46 PM
There have been several of them that I've preferred the 'them' side.
November 23, 2025 at 11:23 PM
That is some godawful play calling on 1st and goal from the 8.

QB draw
Handoff to guy average 2 yards per carry
QB draw
Guy averaging 2 yards per carry throws incompletion.
November 23, 2025 at 11:20 PM
Nothing sums up how backwards the Saints are than sticking with a guy who is neither accurate nor particularly strong legged in an age of kickers regularly making 85 yard field goals with absurd precision.
November 23, 2025 at 11:06 PM
Fixed typo
November 23, 2025 at 11:03 PM
Only two kickers in the last 10 seasons have missed 8 kicks over 30 yards in their first 11 games of a season:

Mason Crosby (2021)
Blake Grupe (2025)
