What a year it’s been for the Atlanta Falcons. They gave Kirk Cousins $180 million in the offseason right before drafting Michael Penix No. I love this beautifully stupid franchise. If we’ve seen Cousins’s last start in a Falcons uniform, what a ride it was. Whatever you want to say about Kirk, you might’t say he didn’t keep you on your toes. And best-case, he comes in and lights it up to lead the Falcons to the playoffs....

Dude started the year being voted the most overrated player in the league, showing people are dumb. How do you ever replace Gabe Davis! It’s why he can change the play in the huddle. Ask your guy if he wants a receiving touchdown or rushing touchdown. It’s not much, you’re talking about a little pitch that counts as a pass. Shakir wanted his stat to be that, so he got it....

But the Bucks didn’t pop champagne bottles. They weren’t dousing themselves in booze after the win. So I needed to pivot my take because that’s what all the best bloggers do. You have to control the story, you don’t want the story to control you. And now the question that needs to be asked is if the Bucks are a bunch of nerds. They didn’t even break out a can of soda or nothing....

It’s hard because the state of New York is actually great. There are a lot of beautiful spots filled with terrific people. Lakes are pretty chill. Lake Placid is home to the greatest moment in American sports history. Buffalo is a great time. There’s a lot to love about New York. And all of it is completely ruined by New York City. There are 50 reasons to hate NYC for every 1 redeeming quality the city might have....

Welcome back to What’s For Lunch!

Im convinced the Miami Dolphins will never bring me joy. Tyreek Hill feels the need to tweet, Its time for me to go coach. Honestly, I dont blame him. This franchise is pathetic. Why waste the last two or three years of your career with this sorry-ass team? Now, could he have done it the right way and waited until the offseason to send this out? But lets be real, its Tyreek Hill were talking about....

But I’m also a HUGE fan of the Fisher family as a whole. And as I said above… I fell in love(no Diddy)with their son Johnny. There are a lot of people whose success I begrudge because I am a jealous asshole. And take a report.

It was just about 11 months ago that Mr. Kraft promoted Jerod Mayo to head coach. Which brings us to this report from Tom E. Curran: Here’s the thing about that. Because the Krafts still believe in him. All of which is reasonable enough, I suppose. you’re free to easily make a case for this perspective. No matter who’s carrying the challenge flag in his sock. So you’re free to sort of justify patience in this situation....

I am firmly in the Vrabel camp here so this speculation got me like 5% excited. I am so curious about how the Bears are perceived by professionals around the league. Assuming the money is all equal, is the Bears job more attractive than the Giants? I am genuinely asking because I don’t know. I am trying to put myself in Vrabel’s shoes. The Bears need someone who is strong enough to sort through all of that mess....

The image is still on Google Maps. I can’t believe it was Google Maps who finally brought The Wolf of Tajueco to justice. With a name like The Wolf of Tajueco, I’m sure it was long time coming. I’m sure he had a hell of a run terrorizing the city of Tajueco. But in the end he got sloppy. He could have waited until night time. Tajueco almost looks abandoned....

Week 3 of Surviving Barstool is upon us. As it stands, we’ve got two tribes of 7 people left after the tribe swap. Will old tribe alliances stay strong (RIP Pizza Four), or will new ones be made? Watch to find out! We’ve got two more episodes this week before the holiday hiatus. Here’s the full schedule for the rest of the season.

Listen, it’s no secret that I love a good Sydney Sweeney blog.
