As of Aug. 1, covering the NFL for the Las Vegas Review-Journal. I'm a Red Sox fan, but not a jerk about it. Most of the time. That's my dog, Tessie. She rules.

Former Raiders WR great Cliff Branch has passed away. He turned 71 on Thursday. Team owner Mark Davis canceled plans to attend a Las Vegas function tonight upon learning news, per @johnnykats. Davis and Branch were very close. Entire organization in mourning.

Talk about waking up feeling dangerous. Cliff Branch was dangerous every time he stepped on the football field. Here’s hoping he’s recognized next year in Canton in the expanded 20-man HOF class.

Beyond happy and proud of my dear friend and longtime NFL road partner @LATimesfarmer on his big night. Sam is 2019 Dick McCann Award winner for his superb journalism covering the NFL for more than 2 decades. Sammy, time to take a bow! And keep flashing the NFL's toothiest smile!

In my debut for @reviewjournal @RJ_Sports, I talked to some who lived the 2018 Browns' memorable "Hard Knocks'' saga, including Todd Haley and Hue J., to see if there are lessons to be learned for the 2019 Raiders, who are about to get their HBO star turn: reviewjournal.com/sports/nfl/bro…

Answer the damn question, Dan.

My hotel in Westfield, IN is very new and nice. From it you can see no other things. I am at the bar with an Iowa corn/soybean farmer who asked me what percentage of the acres I drive through this afternoon looked unplanted. I have never been less qualified to answer a question.

You’re going to have to look that up. Had help as I recall.

Which one blew a 28-3 lead ?

Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco unsurprisingly didn't see a snap tonight for Atlanta and Denver, but they have history together. It was 11 years ago they were both 2008 first-round QBs, and became the first two rookie passers to start all 16 games and lead their teams to the playoffs.

Someone in my family -- no names -- once told me they thought the Hall of Fame Game was played by a bunch of former NFL stars now in Canton. Ridiculous notion, of course. But I think I like that idea better than this. I mean, probably not watching many (if any?) HOFers tonight.

Which is why I said on teams that played in... Flacco didn't play in last year's either. But two in a row is still wrong.
