Every corporation is, at all times, trying to squeeze every last dollar from you they can.

Luxury watch brands really take the piss with the price of their straps/accessories.
I can just about buy the idea that the extra finishing and investment of the watch itself justifies crazy money.
But the same leather strap you can get in China for $10 is $600? No, sir.

Rookie Seahawks DB Nick Emmanwori has already flashed in the slot, as a box safety, and as a blitzer. Both @sammonson.com and I are excited to see how Mike Macdonald weaponizes him as the rest of the secondary gets healthy.

Both @sammonson.com and I agree: Whether Indy can stop Justin Herbert largely depends on whether the pass rush can cook like it did last week.

Dean Blandino joined the show today to explain why sometimes it seems OK to punch players in the face...as long as it's not a QB.
We also broke down the no-call DPI on MNF and some replay philosophy, among other things. Always fun!
