29th NFL season. The Athletic + HOF selector, PFWA board, AP Voter, QB Tiers, Pick Six. Researcher. Always learning.

A great investigative reporter who has done a lot of other things well. Loved having @seanrobinson1e4 as a teammate for seven years.
Personal news: Today is my last day at @thenewstribune, where I’ve worked since 2000. I love this community, but most of all I love the people I’ve worked with. I’m proud to call them friends as well as colleagues. I am not retiring, to be clear. The next chapter awaits. -30-

The Nick Bosa news hit while @SandoNFL and I were discussing the plight of the Packers. We covered a lot of ground, including how missing the playoffs in 2024 was key to the Seahawks winning it all in 2025. 🎙️ patreon.com/hawkblogger/post… 📺 piped.video/live/GJQFgzI8FaM

Add me to this 😂 Still wild that thru first five weeks of season ATL second only to LAR in prime-time games
Dear @NFL, I officially retract my complaint regarding three straight Falcons prime-time games and I replace it with a complaint regarding six more Packers standalone games.

Always a risk of lower extremity soft tissue injuries subsequent to ACL reconstruction. Calf muscles can be subject to undue strain in early return to play phase, esp if playing a compensatory role. Remember, Bosa was dealing with knee (tendon) soreness through much of camp.
Five-time Pro-Bowl DE Nick Bosa pulled his calf during Thursday’s practice and now is expected to miss “a few weeks”, including Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals, sources tell me and @RapSheet. The team is figuring out whether or not Bosa needs to be placed on injured reserve.

I was watching that Packers game thinking about the people who were making their one and only lifetime trip to Lambeau with a son or daughter. Of course there’s risk you’ll see a bad loss but would feel better if the star player showed concern for them.
I’ve read a few Packers player comments from last night. Most of them are less clueless than this, but I haven’t seen anyone noting the sacrifices some fans make to afford these tickets. I think players are so insulated from the economy now that it doesn’t even cross their minds.

Tucker Kraft on the fans booing: "That's pretty tough. Like everyone pictures Lambeau Field and not boos. I don't picture boos. I picture my home stadium. That's tough. It's pretty disappointing, especially for a home opener. It's pretty disappointing. It's not going to help us win. Like I don't know what people think that's going to rally us or something like that. But that's -- we're grown men. We're mentally strong enough, capable enough to get back on the field and play ball. But it'd probably much easier with the 70,000 people behind us rather than opposing us."

The Packers can’t block and there’s no clear way that improves. They don’t have a running game and who knows when or if their RB1 is coming back. There’s only so much Micah Parsons can fix.

Can’t believe he left that on the table
On another note I would still be running with that interception to the locker room

I remember when Dr. Jerry Buss was building the Showtime Lakers and searching for someone who could bring a unique presence to the organization as a PA announcer. He wanted a voice that was powerful, memorable, and distinct – that was Lawrence Tanter.   As someone who was both a fan and a friend of Lawrence when he was disc jockey on multiple jazz radio stations in Los Angeles, long before he stepped behind the Lakers microphone, I could not have been happier. For more than 40 years, his baritone voice was the sound of the Lakers franchise and he was an integral part of many Laker Championships, right alongside us players. He will be missed by more than just Lakers fans, Lawerence will be missed by the entire jazz community who loved his music and velvet voice. Rest in peace my friend!

Further clarification on this from the Packers: The Falcons returned some tickets. Some network tickets also were turned in along with some internal holds that were released. “Those types of tickets are not included in sellout considerations.”
Not true. Packers are sold out on a season-ticket basis. Hence the 100K+ people on the wait list. These are secondary market tix. No different than if you bought tickets and decided not to go for whatever reason. It's still considered a sell out. Not every ticket is always used.

Best grudge game in #NFL history I'd submit
NFL coaches have a long history of holding grudges. Mike Macdonald vs. Sean Payton is just the latest. There have been cheating accusations, ugly handshakes, public shots and scandals that changed the league. A look back at some of the NFL’s nastiest coaching feuds: nyti.ms/4ynzCnJ

My new book "12 As One" pulls back the curtain on the #Seahawks journey to winning Super Bowl 60. It's available now. Here is an excerpt, edited in spots for context & clarity, from a chapter called "The Day Darnold Delivered." It's free to read. nytimes.com/athletic/7563131…

The Raiders’ explosive passing beat the Chargers after Kirk Cousins couldn’t throw downfield in Week 1. Klint Kubiak’s play creation helped, but Cousins also made “big time throws” through contact, the kind that can unlock this offense’s potential. nytimes.com/athletic/7618762…
