Washington has absolutely dominated the field position battle but has done nothing with it.

SiriusXM listening to the Packers' radio feed.

Washington's longest drive so far is 37 yards and they have yet to get inside of the 30-yard-line. Plenty of time left, but so far they haven't shown an ability to sustain any type of drive.

Larry's opinion, that was a bogus holding call on Rhyan

Twice they've been pinned inside their 10-yard line and got TDs on both. Really hard to get multiple 90+ yard TD drives.

Was Kraft able to walk off under his own power?

I wouldn't know, I'm not in a local market. This only says Prime: https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/green-bay-packers-game-information/70773/commanders-vs-packers-week-2-2025-how-to-watch-game-time-odds-more

If you don't have Prime and can wait until tomorrow to watch the game, it is being rebroadcast on the NFL Network at 11:15pm Central.

Got three of them. Knew there would be a catcher in there, just picked the wrong one of Wood vs Dinges.

"Potential" is a French word. It means "not worth a damn yet". Come playoffs, I'll take production over potential.

So... wouldn't that be the 40th straight offseason?

Anderson has a 2.87 ERA and 3.67 FIP. I think you're selling him short. Yoho might get there, but I would not put him there now.

Payamps did pass through waivers before, but the Cubs claimed Civale so stranger things have happened. If he did clear waivers, then the Brewers would have to wait until he cleared waivers in case of emergency and needing to call him back up. My guess is that they are going to skip Miz's next start, or at least push it back a few days, and thus may need to have a spot-starter/piggyback for a day.

Yes

Lions didn't do enough in free agency

Narrator: "And so they did"

Bauers and Vaughn called. They said that they're sick of your crap.

I think they got the last laugh.

28 points in the last 25 minutes. That's pretty good. The positives: Backup QB is not a concern Should have only given up 3 points, and MTSU had to make some perfect passes on the sideline to get most of their yards Mahlman looks adequate at LT, Mandell looked a lot better this week. Defenses will not be able to load up on the run nor crash down on where the RB is going Discipline - no penalties despite four different OL Don't recall any WR drops Still concerning: Backup center/IOL blocking Playing a little too much cushion/off the ball, too many times runners got 4-5 yards before being touched

There have been very good linemen recently, but most of them are from Catholic families and went to Catholic schools (Flanigan, Strebig, Schrauth) and when Notre Dame comes calling it's really hard to say no. Hinzman went to Ohio State, no shame in losing that recruiting battle. Schrauth and Hinzman started in the national championship game last year, so hard to say that they made bad choices. Some of the other good linemen didn't grow up in WI and moved to WI in high school (Roy, Harbour) so they didn't have the emotional attachment to UW. UW was just another school near some place where they lived at some point in their life. We know that by 2022 Chryst was basically half-arsing it especially with recruiting. Chryst left the cupboard bare. Only one OL in the 2023 class (Durand) and he transferred, and only two OL in the 2022 class (Brunner, Nelson who has been hurt pretty much the whole time). Three OL in two years. That's not on Fickell. Fickell had to bring in five OL in both the 2024 and 2025 classes, The only one who isn't a true or redshirt FR is Heywood and he's out for the season. People can say they should have gotten players in the portal (and they did), but I'll say that any good upperclassmen are going to enter the draft and not the portal. The upperclassmen in the portal are going to be 7th round picks/UDFAs at best. Four of the five OL in the game yesterday were different than the prior game. Some guys in new positions (Mahlman, Mandell), some guys starting for the first time (Cubberly, Kodanko). That was obvious as some guys missed some blocking assignments in the first half, but in the 2nd half they started to figure things out. MTSU was selling out on the run, and UW made adjustments in the 2nd half. 28 points in the last 25 minutes of the game is something to build off of.

This is the explanation. IIRC, they said that Yelich initially tweaked/felt something on his double against Arizona, which would have been on 8/27, before the 9/1 callup. So the Brewers likely knew that Yelich might need some time off before they made the decision on who to call up on 9/1, thus why Bauers is there and Hoskins isn't.

Aside from what @sveumrules posted four hours before this, when it comes to bench players the Brewers historically seem to place positional flexibility as a high priority. With Bauers being able to play corner OF (and pinch-run), my guess is that trumps a little bit of OPS in the Brewers eyes.

Another weak jobs report. Not just that it's lower than expected, but the fourth weak jobs report in a row. Revisions showed a net loss of 13K jobs in June. Wholesale trade and manufacturing saw declines of 12K for August. Unemployment ticked up to 4.3%. I took pretty much a flat 10% across the board trim on my holdings (a little more on S&P 500 and NVDA, and of course, sold them at the lowest point of the day) and put it in bonds. Yes, the markets are pricing in three cuts for the rest of the year but... the reason for the three cuts has me worried. And we're in September and October, historically the two worst months for selloffs. Wondering if I should be trimming more like 25%. Or more.

I think the answer is that there just wasn't much to choose from. Paulson Adebo missed as many games as Hobbs has over the last 4 seasons, including coming off of a major injury that ended his season last year, and he got almost $35M guaranteed (and, IIRC, all he had done at the time was run on a treadmill). 30-year-old Jourdan Lewis got $20M guaranteed over 3 seasons. We're living in an era where 15 guards have gotten over $20M guaranteed. $16M guaranteed is kind of the going rate for an average starter with some risks.
