An "out of options" drop-down has been added to the Opening Day Tracker, allowing readers to view a list of players who can't be optioned to the minors if they don't make the Opening Day roster. Rule 5 draft picks are also included in this group.

The Lions fleeced the Texans in the David Montgomery deal: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Wait, Houston sent a FOURTH in addition to other things for a 29-year-old that they're going to put behind the dog-shittiest line in the league?

Compensation update: The Texans are sending OL Juice Scruggs, a 4th-rounder and a 7th-rounder to Detroit for David Montgomery.

You all are making fun of Houston but David Montgomery has always excelled at forcing missed tackles, and think how many chances he'll get now!

Texans plans:

Phase 1) trade arguably (probably) your best offensive lineman after struggling at OL last year and the year before (also traded your best O-lineman last offseason)

Phase 2) trade for a running back immediately after

Phase 3) profit?

The NFL combine had just a 37 percent participation rate on Day 1 Among front seven defenders, three cone participation is about a quarter of what it was before the pandemic

There isn't really a (legal) solution to this issue, but for those of use who care about, and use publicly available data to do sports analytics work, it's really a shame.

Day 1 of the combine had a 37% participation rate, down 18% year over year compared to 2025. The 3 cone had a 50% participation rate pre-pandemic. It's just 13% now.

It's getting very Pro Bowl for TV viewers:

Actually, a pretty good theory that I had not considered.

Seriously, this is the evergreen post right here

Bluesky is miles better than twitter of course but there is a core like 35% who have never understood a joke in their lives.

This is the logical endpoint of anti-anti-Trumpism: "I'm all alone. I'm afraid of everything. There's no one to trust."

All while living in a wealthy, internally peaceful society, earning a hefty paycheck, and getting regular reminders of the high status that you've enjoyed since birth.

Withholding my opinion on the Iran War until I hear what the Colin Cowherd AI bot has to say about it

Epic Fury is a good name for a Sonic the Hedgehog game.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

Wonder what percentage of conservatives think Ayatollah is the name of a guy.

This is a bingo?

No one more embarrassed than FIFA right now.

This is one of my pettier impulses but I want the record to reflect just how often this motherfucker said that Kamala Harris was the pro-war candidate in 2024.

Sam Altman tweet: Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

My goodness.

They made a Colin Cowherd AI.

Or, "A" anyway.

Happy shorts weather to all who celebrate

The most pro-labor sports rule is relegation.

in the 90s/aughts, I had regular commenters who would constantly chastise me for spending so much time on Limbaugh and (then radio-only) Hannity, tell me that it was too easy a target, beneath my talent. But I understood the significance of what was happening, unlike them.
