Eli Manning played 16 sea in the NFL & never missed a start due to injury..Daniel Jones will now likely miss @ least 1 start in each of his 1st 2 sea due to inj..not an indictment against DJ but instead further proof why Eli's run was remarkable & shouldn't be taken for granted
if MJ getting emotional over his desire to win at all costs at the end of Ep 7 of
#TheLastDance
wasn't enough, how about MJ's trainer, Tim Grover, getting just as emotional when describing MJ's work ethic immediately following the
#Bulls
loss to the
#Magic
in the 1995 EC semis
some Ivy League fighting words
Baker Mayfield on TD pass to Van Jefferson: "I'm shocked they played press coverage"
Ryan Fitzpatrick (Harvard product): "The defensive coordinator (Patrick Graham) went to Yale"

#TNF
with 9 rec, 109 yds vs the
#Texans
no one has caught more passes & piled up more receiving yards from Eli Manning than OBJ..he's now connected w/ Eli 337 times for 4,695 yds & has surpassed Hakeem Nicks (313 rec, 4,592 yds) in both categories
#NYGvsHOU
#giantschat
Patrick Graham's scheme calls for player flexibility & versatility..when you look at the bulk of the secondary, the common trait is just about all the players can be moved around or play multiple positions..that's no coincidence
#giantschat
can't think of a more ideal image to drive home that point..lots of "tough" people on this forum hiding behind the comfort/facade of computer screens/fake handles/images..minute you remove that barrier or even respond to them, they can't run away from that smoke fast enough
Grover: "Michael had an obligation to himself, the fans, his teammates, the organization, his family, everybody. He said if you're going to sit down & take 3 hours out of your day to watch me on TV, I have an obligation to give you my best..to give you my best all the time"
MJ, in 2003 (coincidentally, exactly 20 yrs ago), on the idea of chasing Kareem's all-time scoring record: "It's all about winning championships & winning. Stats that matter to me is games that we win & the rings that you collect"
when you lack rings, you turn to stats
Alan Rodemaker (Florida St starting QB Tate Rodemaker's father) just told me on
@MadDogRadio
that his son is feeling better but still going through concussion protocol after taking a hard hit vs FL last wk
he assessed his chances of playing tonight in the ACC Champ Gm at "50-50"

actually it took LBJ 138 more gms 2 top MJ's mark b/c MJ posted those 15 30+ pt, 10+ asst gms in his 1st 88 playoff gms..LBJ needed 226 gms 2 get to 16..that's why context is very important but why let the full facts ruin a great fairy tale..it's a real shame MJ was just a scorer
huge much needed addition for the

OL for the sake of protecting Watson & aiding the run game + they now have a WR corps that includes Hopkins, Fuller, Coutee & Stills..the AFC South is wide open

in exchange for a huge package of picks, including a first-rounder, sources tell me,

. The moves are contingent on players passing physicals.
I don't approve of what Will Smith did & enjoy Harry Lennix's work in "The Blacklist" but let's calm down with "restoring the honor" of an Oscar
it's an award for an outstanding "performance" in a film..it's for entertainment purposes, not for being an ideal individual
Ewing had 7 inches on MJ & Olajuwon 6 yet they still had no answer for MJ's arsenal of moves around the rim..his body control & ability to finish regardless of the size of the defender was ridiculous
#SeeRed
it's almost as if the QB doesn't operate on an island & the environment around the QB has just as much influence..unfortunately, a very difficult concept for some to grasp
@RexChapman
that's a charge..the dog pushes off with the guide hand in an attempt to clear out the lane & the cat is just in front of the table & outside of the restricted area
cat instigated but knew the refs always miss the 1st hit yet see the 2nd..dirty work paid off
outstanding defense by DeAndre Hunter on Jimmy Butler on that final shot attempt..played with his feet & kept his hands straight up..coaches should that use film as a teaching point
#MIAvsATL
#NBAPlayoffs
I'm actually disappointed Lance Stephenson signed w/ the

it was refreshing to actually watch a player not shy away from going after LeBron on the defensive end..still don't understand why the

Graham Gano has set a new franchise record with his 8th FG of at least 50 yds this season
he broke his own record as he hit 7 FGs of that kind in 2021

#NYGvsMIN
that Dalton INT goes down as a turnover but context is important to tell the whole story..CeeDee Lamb fell because he was clearly grabbed/tackled & Dalton expected him to be in that spot
#AZvsDAL
#MNF
they're called the
#Redskins
right? that's their nickname right? so factually there's nothing wrong with referring to them as that name..until that changes I'll be referring to them as their assigned name & btw I wasn't put on this world to say what you want me to say
amazing that MJ retired for nearly two full seasons in his prime yet still has six rings..double the amount of another guy who has now played more seasons in the NBA
with Jake Fromm under center today, this is the 1st time the
#NYG
are starting 3 different quarterbacks in a season since 1992 (Phil Simms, Jeff Hostetler, Kent Graham)..more of a reason why Eli Manning's durability was a luxury
#giantschat
#NYGvsPHI
he played in all 82 gms in 9 of his 15 seasons & at least 78 in 12 of his 15..keep in mind in 85-86 he suffered a broken bone in his left foot & 94-95 didn't return from retirement till March..never missed a game due to "load management"
#SeeRed
In Michael Jordan's final 3 seasons with the Bulls, he played in all 310 out of 310 possible games. He didn't miss one game between November 1995 and June 1998 🏆🏆🏆

The Bills, Saints and 49ers will enter 2020 as the only teams to have the same head coach and coordinators for more than two full seasons (and Kyle Shanahan is SF’s OC). Coaching continuity is rare in today’s NFL.

more facts:
1. MJ is 1 of just 2 players in NBA history to win MVP & DPOY in the same sea
2. 9X All-Def 1st Tm Selection
3. led NBA in steals 3X
who knew he managed to squeeze in another job
“He only had really one job. And that was to just score. And he did that at an amazing, amazing rate. But I don’t feel like his way of winning then would translate to what it is now. Guys wouldn’t want to play with him.”
-Channing Frye on Michael Jordan
(NBC Sports North West)
when Gettleman was asked if Spags is a legitimate candidate to get the permanent position his response: "Oh yeah, oh absolutely. He's a Springfield guy"
Gettleman was an OT on the freshman football team..Spags a WR

make quite the match!
let's have a little math lesson
MJ: app in 1,072 reg sea gms - 5,633 asst
Kareem: app in 1,560 reg sea gms - 5,660 asst
that's a difference of 488 gms which equates to 6 (SIX) full seasons..that's why he has more assists..what other insight would u like 2 add 2 the discussion
although some type of charge may have ignited things, this is clearly a block & lackadaisical D..she's completely out of position & more concerned w/ what's happening on the sideline than protecting basket..helpside D also leaves a lot to be desired based on footwork of other 2
Mississippi State’s bulldog has left the game due to possible injury. I’m not making that up.
People - please get the animals - live animals - off the sidelines. Ridiculous.💪🐶😍
so basically Chris Harris was traded for Melvin Gordon..another new weapon for Pat Shurmur to utilize in the backfield &, even more important, now Drew Lock has more versatility at that position which is great for a young QB
