Bengals won by a touchdown.
"Like Father, Like Son" Eric Metcalf's Spectacular First NFL Touchdown The Browns' stud rookie — and son of Cardinals legend Terry Metcalf — scores on an insane double ankle-breaker move on MNF. Terry's former teammate Dan Dierdorf howls in admiration. September 25, 1989

It’s insipid that some shows get to only count “Season One.” Other shows fall off for not retaining quality or got canceled.
Full list of NYT's 100 best shows of the century. Game of Thrones and Schitt's Creek are way too high, Deadwood, The Shield, and Halt and Catch Fire are too low, and Luck should have been on the list. But the Top 20 is, on the whole, good.

The Shield at #70 is an abomination.
For those looking for recommendations on TV shows, here's the NY Times top 100 list. For me, there's nothing better out there than the Wire. So good.

It’s just so dumb.

Meh--one was an 11.5 spread, one an 8.5. Falcs were 5.5 dogs and closing.
We've already had a huge road upset in each of the first three weeks of the NFL season. Cardinals won in LA. Saints in Baltimore. Falcons at Lambeau. Never a dull week.

You see this is what I have to deal with...
Big win for the Falcons last night. Maybe even bigger than you thought, according to @HometeamBleak

Bijan Robinson and Drake London are 1st teammates each with 190+ yards from scrimmage in road game since Lawrence McCutcheon and Ron Jessie did it for Rams vs Dolphins 10/3/1976 Only other time it happened since at least 1948: Rich Caster and Eddie Bell for Jets vs Colts 9/24/1972

Takes a thief to catch a thief...
Jon Runyan being in charge of player discipline is the funniest troll bit the NFL keeps up.

My enduring memory of Dome-coming night, other than Steve’s play, was the Super Bowl-worthy pregame musical performance by U2 & Green Day: “When September Ends,” “The Saints Are Coming,” & “Beautiful Day.” You don’t have to be a Rhodes Scholar to appreciate that symbolic message.

Of course he did...
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.

Classic sports radio in Atlanta today as "We are so back!" is the dominant theme, with virtually no acknowledgement that Green Bay is possibly the league's worst and most battered team right now.

This is how you undo any momentum from a good road win...
Bijan Robinson says Kevin Stefanski brought the Falcons together with a speech after the Panthers loss that reminded him of Martin Luther King Atlanta responded with a 21-point win over the Packers at Lambeau 🔥 (Via @SportsonPrime)

While the portal is still a vital part of winning in college 🏀 now, nothing jolts a program and sends out a pure vibe like landing a major recruit. Gerry landing Moussa Kamissoko just months after taking over is quite the "plant your flag" moment before we see him coach a game

Gee what a shock the Falcons are winning over the crappy Pack. Won’t @MadDogUnleashed be surprised…
