no lemonade

@askmetostay323 Sproles clawed us back into that 2011 SF divisional game running those routes. 15 catches that game!

Prime AK & Sproles on these routes…good times.

@NFLosophy While I agree with you, the reality is that lots of people enjoy (or at least get fulfillment from) participating in the drama. Most are aware it's a circus

The proliferation of shouty shows has been because they get people riled up. Anger (and fear) triggers physical responses more than any other emotion. They’re praying on your human biology to get you to engage. Don’t fall for it.

I’m begging people… please stop following, RT’ing, and replying to Skip and Stephen A. You’re giving them EXACTLY what they want: engagement. You’re feeding the beast and wonder why it’s getting bigger. Stop engaging and they go away.

@SaintsForecast Ohhhh I totally forgot his injuries were related to the Bucs' MRSA issues. OK, I agree with you. And with my memory refreshed, I feel terrible about the situation all over again.

@nolemonade It would’ve been. No Saints player got MRSA from a filthy hot tub

Carl Nicks, if he stayed with Saints, he’d be going to Canton.

@gsGOAT @datboywolf For sure. Some people forget, both before and even during the 2006 season, the media treated Reggie as the face of the franchise…not our short QB with the bum shoulder. We needed the excitement that Reggie brought

@datboywolf The right guy at the right time.

Id make that pick everytime

@JonoBarnes Not to mention his SI interview trashing New Orleans after his first year. The city is filthy, it's filled with tattooed gutter punks, the people have no pride, they don't even have a Nordstrom's, blah blah blah. I still have a copy: scribd.com/document/10325…

The clear top answer is Mike Ditka trading our whole draft for Ricky Williams. The blowback, hype, debates, arguments, fanaticism and emotions that spurred would have transcended Saints Twitter all the way to NFL Twitter all the way to all of Sports Twitter

@GingerGibson I recently read Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland (became One Battle After Another). A major theme is society's addiction to the "Tube" -- and includes a man running from ''the Tubaldetox goon squad'' who capture and treat sufferers of ''tubal abuse and video-related disorders''

It's true many of us are a line of technology demarcation line. But we can't forget that TVs were still a thing, and many in our generation, particularly those who were poor or grew up in unsafe neighborhoods, still spent their summers in front of a screen.

@JonoBarnes Devil's advocate -- the Lynn Jones story was complete and ripe for people to form their takes. The Russini story was hazy, with more facts to follow, so it made sense for people to hold off on launching their takes.

Not every sports reporter by the way. But history will remember the ones who were loud about Lynn and hypocrites about Dianna/Vrabel

Let history show this was sports media in 2026: Lynn Jones consoles Liam Coen at press conference: “THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND UNETHICAL! THE WORLD MUST KNOW!” - sports reporters Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel at *minimum* are caught frolicking at a couples resort: “🦗🦗🦗” “It’s not our place to comment” -sports reporters

@DKThomp I don't understand his point about "compressive" uses of AI. If I upload a million page document and ask for a 1-page summary, doesn't that still consume a massive amount of the "commodity"?

Since some people are interpreting this chart as a theory I personally hold strongly rather than a theory I considered worth passing along, I'll make my own view here more plain: 1. I think Paul is right that SWE jobs might be token intensive in a way that other white collar jobs are not. 2. If (1) is true, we should expect to see token growth and revenue growth rise fastest during intensive periods of SWE agent adoption and we can't extrapolate that trend-line forward for all white-collar jobs, if and when AI adoption rises throughout the white-collar workforce 3. I still think the basic insights of Jevon's paradox will apply to the white collar workforce and AI. I think cheap tokens and powerful models will change aspects of white-collar work, even if it's hard to currently predict how and how much, and so I'm not confident that today's inference surge is *obviously* the sugar-high vertical line of the S-curve, which would sharply level off some time soon.

@mikeklis9news @MikeTriplett Love Snead, but he was never a speed receiver

Per source, #Broncos are hiring former WR Willie Snead IV as offensive quality control coach. Snead, a speed receiver whose 2 best seasons were with Sean Payton in New Orleans in 2015 (69 catches, 984 yards) and 2016 (72, 895), is latest of Payton’s former players to join his Broncos' staff. Others include Zach Strief, Todd Davis, Zach Line, Chris Banjo.

@kohughes @SamMonsonNFL But they could have signed Hendrickson and saved those picks to begin with...

@nolemonade @SamMonsonNFL 2 first round picks and Trey Hendrickson…pretty easy to see what they gained

I feel like I'm working for the Ravens PR dept atm but... How can 'multiple people around the NFL' possibly have the information required to determine whether the Ravens fairly identified more concerning info on his knee in a physical? The Raiders may have given them their best assessment and Baltimore's medical staff simply disagreed once they got in there.

@RogueWPA @EsotericCD Eh, I scored pretty low and don’t fit either of those categories. Probably because I’m a lawyer, but I struggled to agree with very many — so many questions with “always,” “everyone” — even the idea of having a “right” to something without qualification gives me some heartburn

This quiz mostly illustrates how hegemonic 1964 liberalism has now become. To get below 50% you either have to be an anarchocapitalist or carry around trading cards with different Rhodesian army units printed on them.

@avidseries Probably because I’m a lawyer, but I struggled to agree with very many of these — so many questions with “always,” “everyone” — even the idea of having a “right” to something without qualification gives me some heartburn

@Kat_Terrell Maybe the lesson is, players are by nature loyal to their coaches, regardless of whether the coach is doing a good job according to external metrics.

One thing that surprised me about the report card is how many head coaches are in the A range, especially considering how many got fired last season.

@MikelSevere @JeffDuncan_ @pfref I think you're overrating it some. By 2008 and 2009, when Brees was elite, Reggie's snap % was falling off big time. Drew did just fine (sometimes better) with Pierre or Mike Bell in the lineup instead.

@JeffDuncan_ @pfref Really hard to judge Reggie based off of his numbers as you know. Just his simple movement when he goes into motion caused linebackers to have to shift allowing Drew Brees to be able to understand what the defense was doing and making it easier to operate.

Reggie Bush was a good NFL player and a key part of the Saints' Super Bowl team, but ultimately, he was never a dominant, every-down back. Don't think he ranks among the Saints' top 10 all-time RBs. His career profile comparisons on @pfref are Thomas Jones and Melvin Gordon.

@JeffDuncan_ Not really. In addition to Reggie having a superior college resume, RBs were simply valued much more highly 20 years ago. The year before Reggie, THREE RBs were drafted in the Top 5 (Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson, Cadillac Williams -- two from the same school!). Different times

Anyone else find it interesting that fans universally endorsed the Saints' selection of Reggie Bush with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, yet now, 20 years later, many are doomsaying the thought of taking Jeremiyah Love at No. 8?

@ScottKacsmar Brees had EIGHT different seasons where he got votes for AP-OPOY. He is not in the same conversation of "good for a long time but never the best" players like Frank Gore.

@ScottKacsmar Brees is a pretty extreme anomaly. He had multiple seasons that would have gone down as historically dominant -- except, as luck would have it, they coincided with other QBs' historically dominant seasons (2011 being the most extreme example -- 2009 and 2018 also).

Should have been retired the moment the leagues merged. Which was only a few years after the HOF started. Too many good players to use this silly standard. You could be top 5 your entire career without ever being #1 for any given season. Yet I'm supposed to think less of that player than someone who had one huge year and a lot of seasons where he wasn't top 5? Almost like saying Cam Newton deserves the HOF more than Drew Brees. Like hell he does. And even in the case of Brees, I guess they'll argue he was "the best at his position" in the 2009 season. But for how long? The last 5 minutes of the Super Bowl? Because it was Manning that year who was undefeated in games he finished, who was having an epic postseason, who shredded the #1 defense in the AFC title game while Brees struggled with Minnesota, and it was Manning leading in the SB until the 4Q. So Brees spent what, 5 minutes of a season as the best QB? It's a silly standard to have when history shows you'll routinely have ~8 HOF QBs active at all times. It's almost impossible for them all to be the best outside of very small windows of time.

@NFL_DovKleiman For Saints, that comes out to just over 70k per game -- ain't no way that many people went to those games.

NFL 2025 regular season home attendance. Very surprising...🧐
