My oldest son starts a job at my earthmoving company today. His first full time big boy job.

Hes a little bundle of nerves this morning but he'll be okay.

Extremely proud of my boy

My wife encounters what she calls "zombie moms" in the morning.

Before sunrise, before kids go to school, the dog needs a walk. She describes half asleep women, arm outstretched with a leash, dog pulling along the route.

Her head is half resting on her leash arm, eyes barely open.

A little insider construction talk:
We have an excavator broken down. Inoperable for a day.

On 104.3 the fan, The Drive yesterday Phil Lindsay said:

"Probably 95% of players" use smelling salts.

Who was calling for this ban? Did Goodell feel the need to assert control over players?

Why!?

Everybody is talking about the Broncos.

Defensive lineman with 40 QB hits in a single season:
Zach Allen
Tj Watt
JJ Watt
Nick Bosa
Aaron Donald
End of list

Zach Allen is elite. Full stop.

Sorry #broncoscountry , Micah Parsons isnt actually for trade. Jerry Jones is farming the attention as usual.

Crystal ball says Jones will never let Micah walk. He is either a Cowboy, or he doesn't play until his contract is up.

Derrick Henry, age 31, still leading the league in destruction:

🧱 1st – Yards after contact/attempt (2.8)
🚜 4th – Yards before contact/attempt (3.1)
💪 1st – Broken tackles/attempt (0.13)
📊 1st – PFF run grade (93.5)

Still a beast. Still King Henry. 👑

HOF game takeaways:
-Hampton is good
-chargers run game looks dynamic and strong
-Trey Lance is a great backup
-Lions might have some real potential in young receivers
-Very worried for Lions depth, especially on defense, they need to stay healthy to make a deep run

Sure hope the Broncos follow through on canceling the resellers tickets.

Half price tickets supposedly for families, less than an hour they're all gone. I could've bought 1 ticket to 1 game but couldn't get any with 2 seats close, let alone trying to get 3 so I could bring my son.

Sigh ☹️
