Oh man, Michael Johnson's world record in the 400 just went down? That makes me incredibly sad. The Atlanta games, highlighted by Johnson and the golden shoes, are my first true Olympic memory.

I don't know how good the Bills are, but they're not a bad team--they're one of many who have a shot to make the playoffs, but need some stuff to go right. Sure, everyone is focused on the injuries to the LBs right now, but let's focus on the good things: McCoy is healthy this year, Tyrod has looked good and has had a full offseason as the man, we don't have Mario Williams moping around making the defense miserable...and last but not least, we have a non-Brady Pats game. If the defense gets to the top half of the league and Tyrod is even marginally better and/or McCoy plays all 16, why is 10 wins so unrealistic?

I cannot possibly imagine a scenario in which he doesn't go UFA right now. I mean, what's the upside to not talking to other teams? Less making stuff up, more stalking the plane please. Thank you.

I hope you're more positive than this while delivering babies :p "You're doing great. Or maybe not. That may be an umbilical cord choking the life out of your child. Who knows?" Depends who Vesey elevates to greatness :p I agree he'll have more points, though probably not by a lot. All around game won't be close.

If Eichel doesn't win the Vesey sweeps, he'll still be better than Toews by the end of his ELC. Yea, I said it.

In an attempt to object some levity here: apparently, on a conference call, the CEO of Wendy's blamed poor results on the presidential election. That's the "the dog ate my homework" of corporate excuses, right?

Vesey signing is real, and Pi's reaction will be spectacular. At least, I hope so. On both fronts :)

Who doesn't want OT in the first preseason game? We want OT! We want OT! Of course, the one time I don't want to go for 2, they choose to.

I'm still not convinced Phelps retires. Wouldn't be surprised if he does a couple more in four years.

Sure. Or any number of others. It can't be any worse than this healthy vegetable drink I was force fed last week that tasted like melted celery.

Over/under 4 games before Goff is starting?

I kind of want to now. It's sort of like a movie that everyone says is terrible, isn't there a little part of you that is enticed by that?

It should've been done years ago when Ralph was whining about money.

Bet you never thought you'd utter those words.

I can't get enough crying Jordan. Did anyone crying Jordan Hope Solo yesterday? If so, I must have missed it. That's way too ordinary to happen. Lightning will strike the dude next to Tyrod, who will then fall sideways into Tyrod's knee and destroy both the MCL and ACL.

That simultaneously makes sense and sucks.

Neither do I, but I know more people than I'd care to admit who disagree. Anywho, I dislike them regardless of classification.

No mini fridge in the office?

Haven't had a gose yet, but totally agree on the radlers. The fruit in beer has gone too far!

As a fellow sore loser, I suppose I'll defend Hope Solo's comments to a point. I'm not sure calling the other team cowards was the right way to go, but I love when athletes are something other than cliché-spewing robots.

Did you just volunteer to get your own fingers broken?

I'm still in awe of Ledecky's victory margin. Did that really just happen?

Andrew Brandt ‏@AndrewBrandt 6m6 minutes agoPhiladelphia, PA Tyrod Taylor deal likely to be one of those "up to $100 million" deals which means $25-30 million and then "we'll see how he's doing."

Indeed. I can only assume it'll be along the lines of the Kaepernick/Tannehill deals of a few years ago where the team can cut bait after any particular season for minimal cost.

Uuuuhhhhhh.... I'm a pretty big Tyrod supporter, and I'll withhold judgment until the terms and particulars are known...but this is at least a little scary.
