I cannot stress enough: If Cal Raleigh is the only player helped by the torpedo bat, as the data seems to suggest, then it is not an unfair disadvantage. He just has a weird skill set, so God Speed to him.

Sam Darnold living such a charmed existence. Pressure everywhere and somehow finds Tory Horton for a touchdown. Insane play. What a game. Defense optional!

Minnesota letting Sam Darnold walk for a guy who can't even beat Carson Wentz in a QB competition is amazing

Just how phenomenal has #Seahawks QB Sam Darnold been throwing the ball downfield this year?

Per @profootballfocus.bsky.social, 13 QBs have completed eight or more passes traveling 20+ air yards. Only two of those players - Darnold (73.3%) and Drake Maye (72.7%) - have completed more than 53%.

Good day for the Seahawks' 2025 free agent class. Sam Darnold is, well, being Sam Darnold and having another great game. DeMarcus Lawrence with a sack and another TFL. Cooper Kupp 40 yards on two catches, including a TD.

Influx of guns protects white supremacy. Ambiguous gun laws allow law enforcement to racially discriminate gun owners.

Jets offense first half:

32 net yards
6 points
2 first downs
4 sacks allowed

..... and maybe the worst 2-min drive of all-time.

The Broncos have almost as many sacks (7) as Justin Fields has completions (8).

There's just 3:19 remaining in the game.

The Cubs aren't the Yankees or the Dodgers. Btw, they went to Game 5 of the NLDS on Matthew Boyd as their ace. #Letthatsinkin

Racist ppl really believe “crime rates” are a complete representation of the crime being committed lol!

We ✨all✨ break a whole host of laws daily; cops decide which members of society become “criminals.”

U.S. policing began as armed militias tasked with hunting enslaved Black people who’d escaped.
