I don't know why this flea flicker lateral is so funny to me. Herbert is so clearly overthinking it, like a short putt you KNOW you're gonna miss. He totally hooks it, and it just kinda hangs in the air while he watches it. And then the ending. Just a stupid, fun play.

There's a refrain I've gone back to a lot in the past 5 years: "It didn't have to be like this." I say it to myself all the time. In my personal life. In my professional life. I know it didn't have to be like this. So thank you to everyone who's helped make it happen.

Super excited to be joining NFL Gameday Kickoff and NFL Network on Thursdays throughout this season to preview TNF. Started things off chatting with Maurice Jones-Drew and Rhett Lewis about how the Dolphins will handle Josh Allen — and whether it'll look different with a new DC in Miami.

I used my last NFL Gameday Kickoff hit of the season to spread Geno Smith propaganda. Think it's easy to argue that no QB has been asked to carry more of their offense's production this season Per Next Gen Stats, the Seahawks offense ranks...

Joe Burrow has been incredible this year, but some of the arguments for his MVP case are very funny. "He doesn't have a line! He doesn't have a running game!" That is true! He also has one of the most physically dominant receivers ever and two back-shoulder monsters.
