I get exposed to the 6-7 thing daily. Last night my daughter's HS volleyball team took a 7-6 lead in a game and the other team, in rehearsed unison, shouted "6-7!" and that was the high point of their night...

It turns out Greg Newsome was indeed available, but the return Cleveland got was so far above and beyond anything the Lions could offer that it wound up being a moot argument for Detroit

The Browns traded CB Greg Newsome to the Jaguars for CB Tyson Campbell, and it's a good example of why the Lions cannot get into that trade market

Audibly laughed when I saw the bottom 2. Have fun with that, Joe Flacco

I became a huge fan of those Jim More Saints teams that had so many Panthers/USFL guys on it

We don't have a suitable stadium yet, though I think the new place on Market would work.

This is... unexpected. It bears watching more closely to see if Eric DeCosta is in "sell mode" (follows this up with other moves), or if this was just a one-off to recoup assets on a player that wasn't figuring into BAL's long-term plans. 🧐

The Chargers are trading for Ravens edge Odafe Oweh, per me and Mike Garafolo. A major move.

D.J. Reed is already on I.R. but should be back in November. Khalil Dorsey, who began the year as CB5, is also going to be out for a long time per Campbell.

He's what Stefanski covets in his QB--won't make mistakes, keeps the trains on time, counterpuncher mentality. Gabriel can do that, and did that pretty well given the context of that first start.

Wrote out my thoughts on Dillon Gabriel's first start...

Dillon Gabriel's 1st start shows why he might, and might not, be Browns long-term QB
