Aaron Rogers out for the rest of the season. Pat McAfee's season, that is.

Hard to root for a guy who continues to show so much ignorance and who continues trolling the American public with so much stupidity.

Head injuries are rough, man! Maybe he can donate his brain to (pseudo)science

Rodgers is rushing out to do just that, right now...

I have always wondered -- is he related to the real Wink Martindale?

They can be the Alexandria Wizards of Washington.

Like the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

The only reason I'm not preparing to wave goodbye to those chumps is that it might dent the neighborhood to lose those teams. Otherwise, have fun ruining the neighborhood in Alexandria!

Wizards is I think the dumbest name in NBA. I dont disagree with moving away from Bulkets, but man, what a squandered opportunity

Expand full comment

That's one of several reasons why they are the "Whizzers".

Is that related, in any way, to Cougin' it?

Expand full comment

No. To Coug it, you actually have to, or have recently had, have a realistic chance of winning and relevancy. So there is actually something to lose.

So, it's not a sly commentary about pissing away leads on a regular basis?

Expand full comment

Not solely. There has to be the possibility or at least hope of something better to shatter in the process.

Expand full comment

Pity.

Seems the possibilities would inevitably be narrowed.

Washington major sports franchises seem to have a dearth of imagination when it comes to franchise names.

Capitals

Red-potato-skins cum Commanders

Nationals

Bullets cum Wizards

At least Wizards makes the franchise name alliterative.

Apropos: in Asia, they love to apply the Latin term "cum". So you'll be reading something and, like a shot, it always surprises you

Expand full comment

At least the others make sense though. Wizards is just random

Belichick out as wellтАж.see below ;-)

Awwww...I won't be able to boo Cheatey Petey anymore.

Expand full comment

"Part ways" is vague enough that it might not be a firing, but a mutually agreed separation. For all we know, Belicihick may be retiring.

Expand full comment

My guess is they told him itтАЩs time to go, do you want to say itтАЩs mutual or no?

Expand full comment

Probably true. Even so, given the fact that Belichick is 72 years old, it would not surprise me to find that's he's retiring.

What about Vrabel?

Expand full comment

New HC at New England I assume. He was a star player for them.

Expand full comment

At least he won't cost them a draft pick.

I think that Vrabel might not get the job in New England now that Tennessee fired him. But that's just me.

Expand full comment

I don't think so either.

I think Patricia or McDaniels might come back.

Expand full comment

My bet would be McDaniels failing upward...again.
