If Unai doesn't give another striker sufficient playing time as a number nine then they'll all want to move on. Happened with Duran, now Malen, nobody that's top six quality will want to come to villa and get 25 minutes a game.

Maybe that's why we're looking at Abraham?

As always these days, hard to get excited until we see him on the pitch given how many players have come in with the hype only to go out on loan indefinitely.

I remember thinking 'why? We already have Matt Targett'. Kind of like with Martinez, 'why? We already have Tom Heaton'. See also Pau/Mings.

I've since learned I know very little, and to just go with it

Imagining McDaniels replacing Nagy as the Chiefs OC next year...

Where I come from a trolley is what you put your groceries in at the supermarket, so imagine my confusion

How would a trade work exactly? Would they need to wait until the new league year in March, and so miss out on the HC recruiting period in Jan?

I mean, it's not all one guy but my goodness that's a precipitous drop off after Brissett is benched.

Also that the inverse is much better - teams like the bears and 49ers having a low defensive score but high offensive score and end up in the playoffs

Probably shouldn't admit that out loud, should he? 😬

Generous to call them assists

Holy crap the chargers must suck!

Signed, a browns fan who has to watch that line be terrible week in and week out.

Just for the giggles - a Tua for Watson trade wouldn't work financially, right?

I would say neither are actually pizza, but that's just me I guess.

Oh, you mean the 'Michael Caine in Muppets Christmas Carol's award?

It will turn us into that sci-fi cliché sheltered civilization relying on the great leader behind the screen who is in fact a mind controlling robot and the people realize they're much better off without it, even if it means thinking for themselves.

I thought this was Jameis?

Arsenal. Anywhere.
December 8, 2025 at 10:13 AM
Wow, no need to call me out like that
December 8, 2025 at 7:05 AM
Like Pillsbury Shough Boys?

Jhon Duran, man, what could have been for that guy.

Ok I always wondered, what exactly *is* egg nog? It always just looks like cream with alcohol in it, like a Bailey's or something?

It also makes me think that any way that Amazon can do it better or cheaper by themselves - without barbaric employment practices - should be achievable by the USPS. This isn't a mom and pop venture being bullied out it's a huge national operation that can reach the same economies of scale etc.

What if the Lions just kept Stafford, who we can probably say is objectively the better QB? They're down the picks and maybe it ignited a whole culture shift, but Stafford with Ben Johnson would have been I guess basically what we're seeing with McVay
