https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/drake-maye-is-skeptical-of-the-moon-landing Drake Maye thinks the moon landing was fake. It stands to reason that somebody was going to follow in the footsteps of Aaron Rodgers, but I wasn't thinking it would be Maye.

Sounds like Jurgens was getting quite a bit of blame for the poor play on the interior of the Eagles O-line. He'd been playing both LG and Center, It will be interesting to see how it goes in Baltimore. At this point, I'm not sure why anyone would make a meaningful trade with Howie Roseman.
-
Yeah, and did we ever find out what the 'personal issue' was that kept him out week two?
-
Maybe the Vikings trade Jennings back to San Francisco, who continue to have injured Wide Receivers? Also, I wonder if Tai Felton will end up with more receptions or tackles in his career. Currently it's Tackles - 9 Receptions - 4.
-
Yeah, that was a huge bummer. Best team in the league and they get routed both games in the first round.
-
Why did I get a notification that OBJ is signing with the Vikings? They don't even have targets for Jauan Jennings. Even when Jefferson is out.
-
Listening to the Pads/Brewers game is awkward. Is it just me or do the other guys in the booth sound embarrassed every time AJ Pierzynski starts rambling?

Twins looking at Logan Gilbert?
nicksaviking replied to Bangkok Twins Fan's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I like both yet still would trade both. History says the team getting the star player wins this trade just about every time. With a rotation of Gilbert, Lopez, Ryan, Bradley then the Prielipp/Abel/Rojas upside (Kremer if we must), the rotation alone would make the Twins a contender. Then you'd have the giant pile of money Tom Pohlad is promising to get a middle of the order bat to pair with Buxton, Jeffers (yeah, I'm paying him since we're going for it) and the young, but now with some experience core. I'd be looking forward to 2027 more than any season since Target Field opened. -

Skeptical the Mariners will finally trade a starter, but he would 100% be my top target. -
Unless he practices short hops at first from now until opening day, he doesn't fit on a well rounded and cohesive Twins roster. Therefore I expect him to be in LF opening day.
-
Burleson absolutely cannot hit left handed pitching, and this organization loves to platoon. I think you'd end up getting a part time player. And if he even takes a minor step back in his ability hitting right handers, he's going to look like a huge bust considering no one likes his defense. And while I'd be happy to take Yandy Diaz (who was DH exclusive this year), the Rays FINALLY got their new stadium approved and the league looks to be installing a salary floor. They're also on the doorstep of a World Series appearance. I don't think we're going to see the old Rays frugal ways again for awhile.
-
So the Saints gave Ryan Wright 8M guaranteed over two years because the Vikings couldn't afford to pay a guy who can coffin corner every punt he gets his foot on. Meanwhile the Vikings are paying Jauan Jennings 8M for one year to catch 2 passes for 9 yards.
-
I'd bet a lot of it has to do with the new(ish) replay review process that is both taking away part of their job, and showing them up when they're wrong. Even if the officials aren't going into the games deliberately trying to throw more flags, surely they are internally thinking that throwing more flags is how to demonstrate how valuable they are.
-
I would trade Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz straight up for Bijan. I'd even throw in Brosmer to close the deal.
-
If the Twins truly are going to spend money (either by choice or league mandate) I don't know why you'd trade Ryan, which would then make the rotation worse. I don't want Ober nor Kramer in the rotation. I want Ryan, Lopez, Bradley and someone their equal or better. Then the high upside younger players. Then, if/when Ryan hit's his second half wall, ideally, the team has already built up it's first half win total and they have depth to give Ryan time off or bullpen work. This team already has more 'prospects' than they can possibly roster. Trade some, don't trade for more. 2027 is the perfect time to for once attempt to field the best team the Twins can field instead of straddling the fence with a bunch of other teams' cast offs. For one, Tom Pohlad is talking a big game so he's going to want known players over unknown. Additionally the Twins broke the seal on Jenkins, Culpepper and Rodriguez. They can and should get the roster spots that the Twins typically give to bottom tier vets they consider 'depth' that they have to end up rostering.
-
Next week at Philadelphia should be a good test to see if Carolina's offense is legit. So far they've run up the score against some pretty bad defenses while they struggled a bit against Cleveland.
-
It does seem like the Vikings have so far played Northeast Alabama Tech and Our Lady of Peace School for the Arts.
-
After the awful offenses so far this season, finishing with a TD pass might have been something to rally around.
-
This game was boring and sucked. But if I'm honest about it, the offense did look like they were figuring stuff out the second half. They couldn't finish any drives, but they weren't shooting themselves in the foot as much. There may be some hope for mediorcity.
-
Hmmmm, I guess he'll get lauded for the slide to run out the clock, but it seems going up by 12 would have put the game away anyway.
-
The play came in late. Murray was slow to get guys set up, but it was mostly on KOC from my view.
-
And these political ads aren't helping my mood any either. Why am I getting ads for the Texas senate race? The wife of one was on basically admitting her husband is a bad guy, but saying Texans have to vote for him or risk turning over the senate to 'the other team'.
-
4th and 1 they have to start putting Wentz in. I don't think any team is going to think the Vikings will QB sneak with a 150 LB Kyler Murray.
-
Murray hasn't been good, but I also can't really point to one thing that he's doing bad either. I'm not going to spend a second defending him, but the offense is looking awful because the O-Line is brutal, they can't get any rhythm because of brain-dead penalties and I don't think KOC has a cohesive game plan.
-
Why are they running out of shotgun on 3rd and 1? And clearly they have to stop punting.
