My grandparents and father escaped Nazi Germany in 1941. I’ve thought so much about how the genocide in Gaza and the silence of Holocaust institutions are such a betrayal to my grandparents’ memory.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and the Other Side of the Climb The actor, most remembered for playing Theo Huxtable on ‘The Cosby Show,’ passed away Sunday. But his legacy spans much more than one character.

The Ringer’s Fictional Quarterback Rankings A tape study of the 25 best quarterbacks in pop culture reveals who could make it at the pro level—and who is good only in the movies

no YOU spent dozens and dozens of hours watching football movies and shows to write an embarrassingly in-depth ranking of fictional quarterbacks www.theringer.com/2025/07/21/p...

A regrettable oversight by the fake quarterback rankings committee. Apologies to Zook

I’d give up the trophy for a chance to hurl lemons at the dragons one more time

Welcome to Aaron Rodgers’s Final Chapter Rodgers’s MVP days are long behind him. How can Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith make Pittsburgh’s offense work for an aging QB?

That’s *really* good value. If he’s healthy, I think we see a 1k receiving yard, 10-TD season out of Bateman in 2025.

What is YouTube TV cooking with this multiview combo

post clips, not reaction gifs

yeah and in SF they had the best OL in the league

i suppose it's a "dress for the job you want, not for the one you have" type deal but Greg Roman is working the grill at Burger King in a tuxedo and sweating all over the burgers

im generally not an advocate for more RPO, and think they'd be inefficient over the long haul, but it's a better option than operating the run game as if they had Detroit's offensive line.

one way the Chargers may be able to improve their run game without a significant upgrade to the OL is running more RPO rather than running into loaded boxes

Last season

RPOs: 0.09 EPA per play with a success rate of 41%
Non RPO runs: -0.10 EPA per play with a success rate of 35%

there's rarely a wasted step. best pocket presence/navigation in the league.

justin herbert still gets the "he doesn't create enough" criticism

1. it's been two years since he took the restrictor plates off, so update your scouting report
2. he'd get more credit for it if he wasn't so efficient working through the mess

Also watch his eyes from the end zone angle

playoff team

Example no. 931735490 (unofficial count) of how WR play can affect the perception of a QB's accuracy. Receiver stumbles out of his break and ends up missing his landmark (look at Sutton at the bottom of the screen for how it's supposed to look) so it looks like Nix dirts the throw.

lmfao hell yeah

early slate stinks tho

Jets-Steelers is interesting for hot take stuff (assuming Rodgers heads to Pittsburg) but will be a crappy game in all likelihood
