when Michigan went to Utah for Harbaugh’s first game there ~10 years ago … James wore those things inside the Mormon Tabernacle hand to god/gods

tackling the tackle (no idea if this is legal -- he got offended when I suggested he just reacted and hit the wrong guy tho so who knows) either way: looked like Goldberg

Sean McVay bailing on his presser before local reporters could get there: Cannot wait for one of his Buds in the national media to tell us why that wasn’t his fault and it’s actually a beat writer problem.

I grew up on Barry Sanders, broke VHS highlights rewinding them so much, etc There'll never be another 20, but I really never, ever, thought there'd be another back in Detroit -- let alone the NFL -- who even reminded me of him. Starting to be a weekly thing w/ Gibbs

Detroit's big money players (save for Sewell, Goff and Gibbs) have been pretty blah since halftime of the opener. Hutchinson's run defense is not acceptable. McNeil is a ghost. Campbell remains MIA. St. Brown and Jamo have made critical drops. Etc. Even Gibbs ... pretty terrible pp so far today

Alim McNeil looked great during the first half of the season-opener and has been very mid every snap since.

just a washed old dad here coming to say this is the best thing I have ever seen in a baseball game there’s another angle where you can see JV start sobbing the second he sees her hit the dugout steps — only dads know how that feels. 🧡💙

speaking of James Franklin: if I were a bettor i'd bet a notable CFB head coach somewhere gets fired this week ... there are a few deserving candidates and these schools love to get in line early so they can stand there and do nothing for 3 months
