A Steven Wright joke about Steven Wright… or vice-versa:
“Justin Crawford hits too many ground balls, so let’s really leverage that speed of his and engineer popups and strikeouts.”

In a work meeting today, a colleague said about one of our scientific thought leaders’ specialties, “She’s more bacteria than fungus.”
I responded, “Aren’t we all?”
I expected more than the tepid chuckle I received.

Huge get. Phenomenal get. Huge relief for our guards.
Run or pass, handoff, zone read, or RPO…I’m so excited to see him drive blocking in inside zone schemes.

I have my reservations, and I’ve cooled on this pickup since doing more research after first hearing the early names possible.
But I’ll definitely be happy the #Illini coaches got what seems to have been their primary target right off the bat.

#Bears finish between 3 and 4 wins better than Vegas thought they would in August, and they’re NFC North Champions and sharpie’d in as 2-seed in the conference when very few people expected any NFL playoff berth.

Despite my love for so many of these players, #Eagles have been hard for me to watch this entire season, and Nick Sirianni is—in general—hard for me to root for and impossible to like.
But man. Tank Bigsby has been a true bright spot for me since we got him.

In an offseason of complacency by Howie Roseman (and Nick Sirianni when we talk about the Patullo promotion), my boy @caseyboguslaw.bsky.social bears witness that I was indeed happy to get Tank Bigsby the day we signed him.

Man do I love Tank Bigsby.
Below is the only thing that would make me think we win a playoff game, regardless of competition.

We need to see more 20 and 21 personnel with Bigsby and Saquon back there together, and more presnap motion.
Tank is too productive (and Barkley too much a gravitational force) to not be of equal benefit to both each other and this offense together.

I just don’t understand how this lineup is better than Tomi and Big Z on the floor together.
Are they playing better D? Are they shooting better?
