A lot of times creativity with your legs would be avoided by having the ability/willingness to pick these windows as consistently.

"Creativity" is poorly utilized in the public. Stroud putting the ball low to the back hip to slow the receiver's momentum and keep it away from the defender is "creativity," it's just in structure.

The roster the Vikings have put together demands the offense run a certain way that is much closer to Ben Johnson and Kyle Shanahan than Sean McVay and Kevin O’Connell.

The offensive identity crisis nobody is talking about. How an identity shift is critical to the development of Minnesota's young QB, and why TJ Hockenson needs a new role.

TJ Hockenson, JJ McCarthy, and the Reinvention of the Minnesota Vikings
Despite a lot of success, the Vikings offense needs a rebrand, their Tight Ends are the key to making it work.

It’s a sign of the moment that we are in that this could even happen.

Gary Cohen continues to be a cut above in terms of critical examination and awareness
Gary Cohen weighs in on Pete Rose:
"He was the face of baseball — 'Charlie Hustle' But, you know, there are also other black marks against Rose's name that have come up in more recent years, since he was permanently made ineligible, that had nothing to do with gambling."

The Ravens and Eagles signing FA RBs and then rewarding them with extensions is really fascinating team building. Paradoxically, they can afford to bc their OLs are good.
Sources: The Baltimore Ravens and Derrick Henry have agreed to a 2-year contract extension that averages $15M per year - the most ever for a RB over 30 years old. The deal negotiated by Todd France includes $25M fully guaranteed.

ANOTHER delay on my flight back! The chain reaction caused by completely Trump imposed staffing shortages is ravaging flights esp on the east coast. A total disaster.
If this happened under Biden they’d never stop bringing it up

Experiencing a delay right now lmao.
It’s such a tangible annoying thing that impacts people and all they have to do is point and blame him for it ad-nauseam and they refuse to do it.
That’s how they made Biden unpopular, they constantly pointed out prices and his cognitive decline

Democrats not making this a giant messaging point is yet another failure to meet the moment.

Can anyone explain to me how "Trump donating the brand new Air Force One to his own presidential library right before leaving office, so he can continue to use it" is any different from THE PRESIDENT STEALING AIR FORCE ONE

ABC reports Trump to take “flying palace” from Qatar and use it as temporary Air Force 1 before converting it to a personal possession.
