The NFL Shield At Midfield

I still remember that dream NFL roster he made where Jordy Nelson and Wes Welker were his two starting WRs

Friendship ended with GFS and Euro, now ICON is my best friend

Still drifting east

Teddy Two Gloves doing what he does.

Latest NHC track is a hair east of the 5:00

Yep our buddy Ian seems hellbent on being another Fran and rumbling through central NC. I wouldn't be shocked if those of us in the triangle are in the danger cone by the 2 AM update.

Ventusky doesn't have its own models or forecasts, it animates the data generated by models like ICON or GFS. If you look in the bottom left there's a dropdown box to choose which one you want. The National Hurricane Center generates its forecasts based on an aggregate of like four or five different models, so if one model is way off what the others are predicting it won't be reflected in the track until the others come to a consensus. GFS and ECMWF which are two of the other main models NOAA uses haven't predicted as wild of a swing east as ICON has yet, although it seems to be creeping that way.

"You know, I could really go for another year throwing up Busch Ice at 3 AM"

Yeah look at how successful the Lions were with Sanders. They definitely didn't crush his soul and force him into early retirement.

Becoming?

Next thing you know he's going to be hunched over an acoustic guitar in a studio surrounded by lit candles belting out "The Man Who Sold the World"

woof that's like, 90s high fashion heroin face

True, I'm in my mid 30s and decided it would be a good idea to start skateboarding again. On that note if I don't post for a while it's because I'm dead

Something that's always bewildered me, particularly having dabbled in daily fantasy somewhat (boo hiss), is how many other teams seem to just be able to poo running backs. Like you'll see some team starting Joe Random, the rookie from TCU or Oregon State or something because the starter is out, and they'll pop off for 100 and 2 TDs like it's nothing. Meanwhile we can't find a back to spell Christian McCaffrey who doesn't put the ball on the ground like it's his job.

Didn't this guy play for the Jets in one of the most brutal sports markets with some of the most unforgiving fans in the country? I've always been weirded out by him going after fans like he has, you'd think he'd be used to it.

I'd say the fanbase was more demoralized and bitter when it dropped that Andrew Luck was going back to Stanford. Not by much though and Tepper/Rhule are gunning for the record. We had just been through a season of pure hell, the franchise was hollowed out with no quarterback, labor negotiations were spiraling toward a lockout, and the guy most of us thought was the savior had basically told us to fug off. And a few weeks after that we got the infamous pie chart conference. e: oh yeah and it was rumored that Panther reps were waiting for Harbaugh in the tunnel after the Orange Bowl and he didn't even acknowledge them. Then Jerry Richardson acted like he had never heard of him when the press asked about it lol.

I wanted James Goodnight, although he was a huge longshot and major dark horse. You want analytics and data-driven decisions in your football? How about the guy who co-developed SAS.

Man this is so perfect lol Yeah Richardson was a better owner than Tepper has been thus far, but that doesn't mean I'm lying awake at night getting eaten up by regret that he's gone. He was meddlesome, stubborn, and arrogant in different ways than Tepper. Richardson prioritized the constitution and established hierarchy of the NFL to the extent that he was willing to throw away an entire season for the league. Obviously that's just the football aspect without considering the culture of sexual harassment and old boy's club atmosphere in the building. Maybe we would have won 6-8 games two years in a row instead of 5 if he was the owner. Yippee.

Seems like somebody woke up Derrick Brown

Luvu is all over the place today

At this point just flipping field position on them is a win. This might be the first drive the Giants start in minus field position. I say might because, well, duh

You have to catch the ball first dude

Achievement unlocked: run a play without turning the ball over

How can Drew Brees' four foot tall ass break all kinds of records and we can't even get a pass off

Note how they're kicking off to us short to force a return
