RIPPA

Well per the Athletic - apparently Rodgers really really really doesn't want to play for the Steelers and Giants and might decide to retire instead (if he doesn't go to Minnesota) Why the fuck the Giants aren't signing Russell Wilson after hearing all these reports is baffling

Here's the thing (and why the question is a strawman argument) No one knew Geno was available. Per all reports - the two sides were working on extension but it wasn't going great Seattle asked the Raiders (because of the Pete Carroll connection) if they were interested and Vegas jumped at the chance. It kinda is like the poor man's version of the Luka trade where it was only after the fact teams were like "Wait a second - if we had known, we would have made an offer" I guess the argument could be made that teams could have cold called Seattle and been like "Is Geno on the market?" but this wasn't a case of Seattle openly marketing him

It appears that the Giants are indeed not waiting for Aaron Rodgers and are instead turning their full attention to Russell Wilson Apparently the only reason he hasn’t signed yet is because Russ wants a two year deal and the Giants only want a one year deal

Cooper Kupp is signing with Seattle

Jason Sudeikis confirmed today one of the worst kept secrets- there will be a 4th Ted Lasso season Only other thing he seemed to indicate was that Lasso would be coaching a women’s team (one would assume that would be the AFC Richmond women’s team that was teased at the end of season 3)

And yeah - we have reached the MLB vs Rays portion of this story After the statement - Rob Manfred put out a statement that was basically "We are stubborn and there will be a team in Tampa" To which Rays current ownership replied "We are not selling" Meanwhile - Tampa's mayor said that the city will no longer work with the current ownership group So all the dreams people have had about MLB expanded this century are probably dead

So…. It turns out that DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons really didn’t like each other

The story I got it from miswrote it then

He is not affiliated with this new push (outside of maybe spiritually) I mean he is 85

I met Feinstein a couple of times in college when I was working in AU's SID office He was always gracious with his time - especially for kids thinking about getting into the profession (thank God I didn't) If I have the timeline correct - it was when he was promoting Last Amateurs It also hit me after seeing Navy football tweet about Feinstein's passing is how this year has already claimed two of Navy football's biggest champions (with Pete Medhurst being the other)

Jesus - WTF???

Well he just got wheeled off the court with a nasty ankle injury so he might be forced into staying

Related to all that Rays stuff Nashville has announced that if they get an expansion team - it will be known as the Nashville Stars Complete with them partnering with New Era to have hats you can buy with their logo Teaming up with MLB's ex-uniform company and already selling merch while trying to get MLB approval is a bold strategy

Follow up - Sternberg announced today that the Rays are not moving forward with the new stadium So either he decided to call MLB's bluff or he will be selling

Walton Goggins really is in everything now

The Patriots are planning on releasing long time center and team captain David Andrews Andrews is recovering from shoulder surgery. The Pats are hoping he decides to retire. If he does - they will honor him with a ceremony. Basically they are hoping it is Julian Edelman 2.0

Some of these Rushdown bosses I am like "Wait - how the fuck do I do this again?" Was irritated at myself as did a matchmade Nether run instead of the private one when starting this Act's story. Didn't want to bail on the people I was matchmade with so completed the run. Which almost screwed me in the process since I found the worm that kicks off the new part of the Barrow Dyad quest. Which is fine... except the launching point is the same place as the final story mission for the Act. Fortunately I caught it and changed what I was launching into at the last minute

It is about time

UVA will not retain interim HC Ron Sanchez. UVA finished with a losing record for the first time since 2009-2010 season but Sanchez also was in a tough spot as he literally become the coach three weeks before the season started when Tony Bennett quit... err... retired

I gotta catch up on the other ones but Minnesota has fired Ben Johnson after 4 seasons

The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox Spoiler alert - despite what the trailer might try and lead you to believe, this team finished .500

Speaking of backup QBs Mac Jones has signed a two year deal with the Niners

Bobby Witt Jr was hit by a pitch in today’s ST game He suffered a left forearm contusion but didn’t break his hand No word on how much time he will miss (if any)

Per Yahoo - the Falcons are gonna keep Kirk Cousins for next season
