    Not to make any unfounded aspersions, but it reminded me of watching Ben Johnson run back in the day - never seen anything like it. Bolt has the same stride. And while I'm on the topic - do NFL teams really give a crud if a player uses a little something else to boost their performance?

    I figured I'd get slammed for my post from a few weeks ago asking if Cam would make more than Dak next year. Not confusing a passer rating of 119.5 to 74.3.

    Teams, writers and fans don't give a shit. I think Chuck Klosterman kind of got at why in an essay from 2007.

    I would have named this the NFL Week 7: Guido Merkens thread

    Someone missed the obvious - NFL Week 7 - the Kneel Down thread

    What am I missing? Guido Merkens wore 29, 12, 26, and 19 in his NFL career.

    Just as sports followers of the future will look back in the '90s (already are) and say "who the fuck ever thought black and purple was a good uniform color combination" they will look back on this era and ask "why the fuck did stadium architects design their exteriors to look like abandoned aircraft hangars?" Based on tonight's game and the World Series.

    No. Not until Week 19. Try Morten Andersen.

    FWIW, Metcalf did run track in high school for a powerhouse program. He was sub-15 seconds in the 110 meter hurdles.

    He's just a beast. What fun to watch him, like Gronk, although like Gronk I don't see a long life. Physical freakdom breeds gang tackling, which always wins in the end.
