J.J. McCarthy always felt like the Ghost of Heath Shuler to me, not that I ever expect him to be elected to Congress. #Vikings #Giants #[Commanders

120

Not to defend J. J. McCarthy, but . . . of the QBs who went 10th overall in the #NFL draft, only Patrick Mahomes and Frankie Albert have turned out to be worth a darn as pros. (And Albert had his best years in the All-America Conference, 1946-49.) #Vikings #Giants #Chiefs #49ers

020

Some recent #NFL QBs drafted in the Top 10 who didn't last 5 seasons with their original team. (A list J. J. McCarthy now joins.) #Vikings #Giants

Would not have guessed that Josh Allen is one of just four players in #NFL history to rush for 2+ TDs in each of the first games of a season. #Bills #Browns #Commanders #Chiefs

100

Jahmyr Gibbs is the only #NFL RB this season who has gained 100+ yards from scrimmage in each game. The record for a season is 15 such games, shared by Marcus Allen ('85), Edgerrin James ('00) and David Johnson ('16). As much as the #Lions need to score, Gibbs could break it. His numbers so far:

011

Here it is updated: Biggest receiving days in #NFL history by a player who didn't actually catch a pass. No. 1: Deebo Samuel. Good luck topping *that*. #49ers

011

What is Marcus Mariota missing that keeps him from playing this way more often? "Consistency" isn't the answer I'm looking for. #Commanders

It all started with the vertically striped socks.

Another gift from the wonderful state of Pennsyltucky. 13 million people, and this is the best they can do for a US Senator.

Deebo Samuels is going to add 8.9 yards to his receiving average today without catching a pass. Before: 9-79-8.8 Now: 9-159-17.7 Crazy. (More hook-and-laterals, please!) #49ers

000

Deebo Samuels scores on a hook-and-lateral vs. the #Cardinals. That means he has 80 receiving yards today but no receptions. If he doesn't catch any passes the rest of the game, he'll break the record in this hilarious category by 18 yards! #49ers

110

That's 3 straight games with 2 rushing TDs for Josh Allen. Looks like the only other QB in #NFL history to do that in a season was Billy Kilmer in 1961. And Billy wasn't really playing quarterback, he was playing tailback in the #49ers' Shotgun Offense -- as you can see from his numbers: #Bills

020

Patrick Mahomes has made it to halftime without the ball touching the ground: 13 attempts, 12 completions, 1 interception. Here are some #NFL QBs who had *3*-INT games without the ball touching the ground: #Chiefs

000

Genesis Smith, 1 of the #Chargers' 4th-rounders this year, with 2 interceptions vs. the #Bills today. It's the 2nd straight week a rookie DB has had a 2-pick game. Hezekiah Masses (5th) did it for the #Raiders last Sunday. Only one other time in the 2000s have 2 rookies had 2-INT games in Weeks 1-3.

000

Fun Fact: The last #NFL team to allow the same number of points in each of its first *four* games is the 1934 #Lions, who reeled off four straight shutouts -- and would eventually stretch the streak to seven, which is still the all-time record. Father Lumpkin rules!

000

Rooting for the #Bills to give up 31 points again, because it would break the record shared by the '58 #Eagles & '89 #Patriots. They both allowed exactly 24 points in each of their first three games. That's the most in #NFL history.

011

Red Grange's visit to Boston with the Chicago #Bears during his 1925 tour was not well received. Great cartoon, though! The Globe's Gene Mack was one of the all-time greats.

In the excerpt of his new book that was featured in The Lineup today, Peter King mentions getting #Bengals coach Sam Wyche, the amateur magician, to pose for a photo pulling a rabbit out of his hat. Here's that photo, which ran in the Cincy Enquirer in Sept. 1984.

000

That '64 #Bears team had a 90-catch WR and a 75-catch TE. The #NFL didn't see another pairing like that, near as I can tell, for 45 years -- when there were 2 of them!

The US Presidents Cup team seems to have forgotten its mantra today.

If you're looking for a tiebreaker, Ryan did it all with his original arm.

What more could you want in 1927? The famed Chicago #Bears vs. the Providence Steam Roller, played at a bicycle track -- with inning-by-inning reports from the #Yankees- #Pirates World Series. There was only one problem: The game got rained out. (Also: The Series, a Yanks sweep, was over by then.)

Then there's the tragic part: that it took so long.

Dan Daly @dandalyonsports.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

This is fun (if grainy). It's from a 7-7 tie between the Providence Steam Roller & Green Bay Packers in their 1928 finale, one that clinched the #NFL title for the Rollers. The Providence ball carrier, HB Jinx Simmons, is helmetless. So are 3 others, including GB's Eddie Kotal, the would-be tackler.

Winston is a classic example of a QB who'll play well when you least expect it instead of when you most need it. #Giants #Rams

Marvin K. Mooney will you please score now! #Giants #Rams

The omnipresence of the Brothers Kelce is a reminder that the concept of overexposure in America is dead. #Eagles #Chiefs

145 of Stafford's 184 passing yards (78.8%) in the first half have been to Davante Adams. Wonder what the record is for a game, percentage-wise. #Rams #Giants

Gotta admit, Aaron Donald's neck hasn't changed a bit. #Rams #Giants

The impeccable grooming of #NFL sideline reporters reminds me that Pete Gogolak, the soccer-style kicking pioneer, used to comb his hair before putting on his helmet. #Bills #Giants #Rams

Joe Perry, the HOF RB, told me a LB once met him at the top of a pitcher's mound and "obliterated me." 😂

020

He's sending a huge stockpile of bone spurs and hopes that solves the problem.

Dan Daly @dandalyonsports.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It's been 46 years since an #NFL back has gained 177+ yards from scrimmage in each of the first two games of the season, as the #Chiefs' Kenneth Walker has. It's been done just five times in league history. The company he keeps: 1963 Jim Brown 1975 O.J. Simpson 1980 Billy Sims, Paul Hofer

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

#Commanders' goal line offense strikes again. Pitiful sequence to end the half after failing on the 2-pointer late in the #Eagles game.

000

I know the #Bears are sitting there with 3 points at halftime -- after putting up 59 in their opener. But they're not going to top the '73 #Falcons:

People talk about Tom Brady being in the TV booth while also owning a piece of the #Raiders. Here's Harry Wismer doing the '48 #NFL title game while also owning one-seventh of the #Lions. #Eagles #Cardinals

000

The #Lions have allowed 446 and 469 yards in their first two games. The only team that's given up 446+ yards in Weeks 1 and 2 and gone to the Super Bowl: 2011 #Patriots 488/470 (lost)
