A new kicker in the Bay Area.
Aaron Donald will be honored on Sunday at SoFi Stadium with a video tribute, bobblehead and more.
βI always say I feel like L.A. adopted me. β¦ When you know how hard you worked to put yourself in a certain positionβ¦ itβs pretty special.β
The 49ers had tryouts with the following free-agent kickers:
Tanner Brown
Anders Carlson
Matt Gay
John Parker Romo
Cade York
According to @ftnfantasy.com StatsHub, Caleb Williams ranks eighth in DVOA under pressure but 30th in DVOA when not under pressure.
(He's still better without pressure, every QB is, but that's a big difference in where he ranks!)

A scenario that has the Jets squeaking into the playoffs despite their 0.0% playoff odds, per FTN.
The Jets are in ~slightly~ better shape than the Giants, both in that they can't get eliminated this week and in that they actually have a chance to win tiebreakers at 8 wins, giving them an extra win of cushion over the Giants.
Hey, they don't even have to beat the Bills!

Shedeur Sanders is not a real quarterback. Heβs a caricature by an Upright Citizens Brigade improv comic who doesnβt like sports very much, about a quarterback like Shedeur Sanders.

Eagles fans when someone hires Patullo in 2026:
19.11.2025 18:09 β π 18 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0I agree with this assessment. Patullo is such an offensive visionary that I think the Giants should hire him away right this moment.
It would rob the Eagles of Patullo's contributions. But we want what's best for the coach here.
This one of the most insane contracts of the offseason the minute it happened. End Loomis' reign of terror on this poor fanbase

I wholeheartedly agree with @miketanier.bsky.social, not all situations are created equal, and we SHOULD be holding J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix to higher standards.
