That Aud Smell

I’m not sure he’s fat enough to be our Kessel, but I definitely see what you’re saying.

Thanks. In-season trades seem infrequent in the NFL. Or is that a thing of the past. It would be amazing if McCarron became a trade asset — I don’t think I see it, though, given the scheme and talent.

Wut

This is America.

Whoa - that was fun and very well done.

Do teams ever trade NFL QBs for value in-season at the deadline? I can't recall that happening. But, yeah: Ideally (to me, anyway), McCarron is the starter this season, he gives about the production that Taylor gave, the team has 5 wins going into Week 16, and Allen gets to start in Weeks 16 and 17 or something (and shows well!). Saw someone Tweet about how completion percentage (the advanced stat they use for it now - can't recall it - adjusted throw ratio or something? (I am partly kidding)) for Cam and Wentz is pretty bad, but that those guys are both pretty good. I dunno, man. I feel like you want that guy who can be highly accurate.

This is the Larch.

I can only think of SNL's Restaurant Enterprise sketch when I hear about Khan.

I tried to read it. I really tried. I almost got through it. Interestingly (?), I follow a Twitter account that just spits out random passages from the book. And I frickin' LOVE it. It's amazing. You probably consider this a throwaway, but this, to me, is one of the 20 greatest posts I've ever read here. So great.

Effin' A. Very cool. I saw that Liverpool (the club I support) was balking at 60M (whatever that is - euros?) to bring him in this summer. Which I get. Liverpool is probably (likely) a top-10 club in the world right now. Pulisic would be a sub for most matches. That's a lot of money for a sub. But it seems to me that the marketing opportunities an English club would have would more than offset the transfer fee. Dammit. Missed this one, too. Oh, well. Another time.

OTT be chiseling them mofos.

So winning a title entitles management to pay for past performance, manage poorly. Got it. Feels like we’re into midsummer weirdness around here.

If you're a franchise, is that a sound way to do business? I tend to think not.

What are you - some sort of reasonable person? (Works best with a Butthead voice.)

Soon after that deal, I glommed onto the thought (from a Blues blogger?) that Thompson could do with some more seasoning in the A. What are the chances that he starts in Roch?

Ah, fair. Okay. Situationally driven, then?

I was thinking that Berglund was all but penciled in as the underwhelming 2C. I mean - there's no way Mittelstadt gets that responsibility. Is there?

Ain't gonna lie. I'm a little fuzzy today and voted for more than 4 in each category. Not by design. I think I was focused on "6" in "top 6."

Do I recall correctly that Berglund plays center as well?

Aye. Oy.

My druthers: He gets until next season to sort all this out. (I.e., he doesn’t play this season.)

You sure? The Twitter action I see insists it was real for several hours. It says “coming soon, the first official” one. This page apparently went live for a few hours.

Haven’t verified if real, but, if it is .... Purports to be a screenshot of the depth chart page on the Bills’ website.

This campaign has been an unmitigated embarrassment for Graham and now Vogl. FFS. I have my own strong dislike for Harrington. But what those guys are doing is a terrible look. I can’t imagine their new employer can be pleased. It certainly turns me off.

What are you talking about, bruv?
