Packers Rookie Abruptly Retires From NFL Ahead of OTAs (msn.com)

Kids today don't understand.  There wasn't a bigger waste of money that getting a Mike Tyson pay per view.  I'm suspicious the fix is in for this exhibition, but young Mike Tyson was legitimately the scariest human on the planet.

From the article:   

He has more blasts than Soto and Ohtani.

Only four players have squared up more balls than him, and each is a multitime All-Star.

He doesn't even swing, on average, as hard as his brother. But that doesn't matter, because William Contreras -- the Brewers' catcher, younger sibling of St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras -- does plenty of damage with a 74.2 mph effort. Not only is the 26-year-old Contreras atop the list of blasts, it's not particularly close: His 58 are ahead of Soto's 50 and Ohtani's 46, and his big league-best blast rate of 34.5% is 2½ times the major league average of 13.7%.

The reason for Contreras' success is clear: He swings hard, hits the ball very hard and doesn't strike out much (sub-20% punchout rate on the season). It's an exceptional combination of skills, and to have maintained this offensive output playing every Brewers game, not to mention 33 of 40 at catcher, is MVP-caliber work.

Brewers need to lock him up long term soon.

Thx @Coach

Might as well have a Lions suck thread since we have the other 2 teams in the division. I just don't have the same "hate" toward the Lions. I'm actually happy they're competitive for a change. However....Let's not forget who the KING of the division is.

Reading some of the stuff you see rn you would think Lions fans all collectively bumped their head and forgot JLove and Christian absolutely running them out of their own gym on national TV the last time the two teams played. pic.twitter.com/hxwi58ZllX

Crew leads 3-0 after 2. A couple wild pitches and a Hoskins HR account for the Crew scoring so far.

Those who deal with insomnia know...

Anyway, I'm watching an episode of Dragnet, Officer Gannon has invited Sgt. Friday to his house for dinner including plans to watch the football game on TV.

As they began watching, you can hear its the 49ers playing the Rams. There are brief snippets of TV footage throughout that indeed show a Niners/Rams game happening.

Right before KO, Gannon asks "Well... who do you think is going to pick up the marbles?"
Friday replies "I don't know...these Rams look pretty good to me."
Gannon: "I'll take Green Bay every time!"
Friday: "Yeah, but they're playing the 49ers".

Wait! WTF???
I've never actually heard the term "pick up the marbles" used, and even stranger that "this year" wasn't added, but whatever.... it's 1967, for heavens sake!
Then I suddenly have a new-found appreciation of Officer Gannon.
But that last line... WTH does that even mean?

Gary Sanchez hit a  427 foot homer after an Adames single.  Brewers up 2 - 0 Royals batting in the 4th.

I haven't watched it yet, but you have to give Brady (as well as Belichick) some credit for doing this no matter how much money was involved.

I'd pay even bigger money to see a roast of Favre and/or Rodgers.
