Oh hey that's me! . Here's my writeup of how I did this:

Drew Brees missed 5 games this season and the Saints responded by having Taysom Hill throw ONE pass during those 5 games. What are we doing here?.
If you don't think Taysom Hill is a future star in the NFL, you haven't been paying close enough attention to him. He was the best player on the field for either team in the Saints-Vikings playoff game. The biggest question is can he stay healthy if used all the time?.

Not rewarding players for flopping is good actually.
Ravens defenders with a lot of contact to the Bengals receivers on the 2 point conversion attempt. No flags on the play. #CINvsBAL

24 of 50 MVP voters did not have Josh Allen as one of the 5 most valuable players in 2023. 44 of 50 MVP voters did not have Patrick Mahomes (!!!) as one of the 5 most valuable players in 2023. In case you were wondering how broken awards voting is.
AP NFL MVP voting. Lamar Jackson 49-0-1-0-0 = 493. Dak Prescott 0-17-13-11-6 = 152. Christian McCaffrey 0-17-12-11-4 = 147 . Brock Purdy 0-9-5-12-13 = 97. Josh Allen 1-5-11-3-6 = 80. Tyreek Hill 0-2-6-9-14 = 60. Patrick Mahomes 0-0-2-2-2 = 12. C.J. Stroud.

Yep. I keep seeing people saying they're going to vote Trump for reasons related to the economy or their own personal finances and it's just such a non-serious position. (one politics tweet since there's an election etc).
I do not know any economist who thinks Trump would be a good President, or who thinks he would be good for the economy. And of course, tariffs are not paid by other countries! Fellow laureates agree:

Let's talk about the SUNK COST FALLACY.
The #Browns can't say this and won’t say this, but there's nothing they can do about Deshaun Watson. He’s making $45M this year, will make $45M fully guaranteed next year, and another $45M fully guaranteed the year after that, with cap hits of $72.9M in both years. You can't.

So if there's about to be a DV suit against your client, you can just send Schefter a text message and he'll tweet whatever you want to his 9 million followers?.
Minnesota Vikings’ RB Dalvin Cook is the victim of domestic abuse and extortion – there’s pending litigation, according to his agent Zac Hiller.

The Jags are going to be such a beautiful disaster.
#Jaguars coach Urban Meyer told reporters that first-round RB Travis Etienne will take all of his minicamp reps at WR. “Worst case scenario you have a running back that's elite with receiver skills,” Meyer said. Similar, it seems, to Le’Veon Bell in his prime.

This is remarkable because he's ignoring both the postseason success of the Warriors and the construction of the team that just won their 2nd Super Bowl in 4 seasons. Sorry Titans fans.
Titans GM Ran Carthon on his philosophy for team building:. “It’s cute and sexy to play Golden State Warriors football in September and October when the weather is good, but the teams that play in January play tough defense and run the football”

Oooooooof.
SPEAKING OUT: @TuckerCarlson guest Michele Tafoya left her job as a NFL sideline reporter in order to have a voice against CRT and other radically progressive policies.

I am so here for an NFL player's wife using ggplot to demonstrate how impressive his NFL player's career has been 💪💪.
Last night @laken77 played his 150th regular season NFL game! I am so proud — and I realized that my friends will have no idea how cool that is. So I put on my data girl hat and made these for you! First: what’s the distribution of games played among active players?

Why is it so hard for athletes to say "I'm getting vaccinated because it's the right thing to do".
Bills QB Josh Allen: "I know vaccines are going to be a hot topic. We're having conversations as a team. I'm going to keep those conversations, my choices, and those of my teammates in-house.".
