I feel comfortable saying Sanders will end up somewhere between Prescott and Boyle.

Looked good so far!

My car broke down today, so I guess I'm staying home to watch the Browns.

This feels like a metaphor for something.

I think that completes the Steel Curtain; most of 'em made one of these lists.

All your guesses are correct!

Hampton, Williamson and Johnson all just don't quite make the cutoff today.

27 days until the NFL season kicks off!

This graphic has the 11 players with the most approximate value wearing the #27 jersey. How many can YOU name?

This is the other bogey number in the 20s. We've had worse, and in recent memory, but players do like those lower digits...

Confirmed.

The perfect way for the first full night of preseason games to end for us sickos.

The Ravens preseason announcers are all "it's like a video game!" about the electronic first down markers.

What video games looked like when Hawkeye video tech was first used:

Who will look more like they know what a forward pass is, Anthony Richardson or Jalen Milroe? These questions, and fewer, to be answered tonight!

The DVOA Discord is up and running for the sickos who want preseason snark.

Issue is, that leaves the hole at ~right~ tackle. Trey Pipkins is around, but that's a massive step down.

Your answers for today!

Push comes to shove, I'll take the top 32s (Allen-Harris-James-Brown-Watters-Simpson) over the top 28s (Faulk-Green-Martin-Dunn-Peterson-Taylor), but it is at least a discussion.

AFC West Over/Unders 2025: Can Broncos Surpass the Chiefs? In the AFC West, the Broncos defense is ready to challenge the Chiefs, the Raiders appear competent, and we've got a hot take on the L.A. Chargers.

Less than 24 hours after I write about how I'm down on the Chargers this year, Rashawn Slater gets carted off the field. Uh-oh...

This is a big one. I've shared the 1978-1993 PBP that @quirkyresearch.bsky.social and I have put together over the years with Pro Football Reference. You can now find all the play-by-play back to 1978 there and in their Stathead query tool. Enjoy!

It's not actually Jonathan Taylor, though he'll probably make this list in a year or two. Everyone else is spot on, though.

28 days until the NFL season kicks off!

This graphic has the 17 players with the most approximate value wearing the #28 jersey. How many can YOU name?

Not a lot of numbers can give #32 a run for its money, but the 28s come darn close.

Yes, I'm surprised as you are the Ram in first place isn't Eric Dickerson, but that's what happens when you have a relatively short career.

NFC West Over/Unders 2025: Best Division in the Game? Where should we go with this year's over/unders in the NFC West? Can the 49ers go worst to first? Do we trust Matthew Stafford to be healthy?

The Over/Unders have started over at FTN!

We're opening with the NFC West, where the 49ers are trying to recover from an injury apocalypse, the Rams are crossing their fingers about Matthew Stafford's spine, and the Cardinals swear that this time, they're for real.

The 2X numbers are basically just better versions of their 3X equivalent at every digit.

Terrell Davis not around for long enough to catch some of the names ahead of him; burn fast and burn brighly.

There's a reason I only went to 10 today, for sure. We've had worse numbers, but the depth is a little lacking here.

Donnie Shell Jim Taylor Aaron Glenn Joe Fortunato Jamal Lewis Wilbert Montgomery Antonio Cromartie William Andrews Priest Holmes Brock Marion Marcus Robertson

Your answers for the day!

Joe Fortunato is someone who has gotten a little bit forgotten, but if anything, AV is underrating him because it starts in 1960. Fortunato is the only member of the All-1950s defense who isn't in the Hall, and he's semi-regularly listed as a seniors candidate.

Well, it's no 32, I can say that much.

Your answers!

Jim Brown would be #1 if AV went back to the 1950s. He gets here with just six seasons of AV, losing out on two MVP years and another All-Pro season.
