RIP NFL Network

ESPN to get NFL Network, rights to RedZone from NFL for equity stake - ESPN

It would be nice if NFL Network replayed every game during the week in their entirety AND notified the consumer providers of NFL Network which game was being shown, so I don’t have to clog my “library” with every game. Just the one I want.
Maybe ESPN will do that.

Don’t count on it. ESPN only makes things worse.

Eh. Only if you work for them.
Maybe they’ll add Red Zone to the ESPN+ package.

Obviously steroids [/red]

See Bob Cerv. Interesting life.
Jacoby Ellsbury also had an outlier HR year vs. career.

Ellsbury is a good example, his whole year was exceptional, for him

Dryden, Giacomin and Parent all within 2 weeks

The Muscle Hamster! RIP

Smurf-turf legend. died in police custody after a home invasion/burglary? made $22M in NFL salary in his playing career. Not a great story to follow I suspect

Jesus Montero - 35 motorcycle accident, was in hospital 2 weeks before passing. Former top prospect of the Yankees. Weight and PEDs defined his playing career as he never lived up to his potential and kicked around several organizations.

RIP
