That is a woman who voted for Donald Trump. Just saying, that's their thought process.

On the front of the shirt - an elegant solution to the Riemann hypothesis.

Another reminder of why I have no interest in going to an NFL game:

I'm honestly torn between watching the Eagles' impending collapse or the Nationals' continuing collapse.

Watching Cam Newton redefine manhood, athleticism and quarterbacking should be enough.

Doesn't look good for Keachly. Missed nine games in past two years because of concussions.

Panthers' Luke Kuechly in concussion protocol for third time in three years

Reminds me that the story pinned at the top of Jourdan Rodrigue's Twitter feed is about the new neck device he's wearing to prevent this. I know science can come up with anything, but I'm doubtful this can ever be prevented.

Missing letter? Check. Inexplicable capitalization of common nouns? Check. Exclamation point? Check. Loses points for no misspellings in best approximation of a Trump tweet in t-shirt form.

Another reminder of why I have no interest in going to an NFL game:

Accounts vary, some people say the older gentleman called the guy in the Panthers shirt a "spic" while one witness claims the guy was a punk who had been unruly. Nonetheless, a brutal assault is utterly unacceptable. This guy is about to be internet famous, but it'll be interesting to see how the alleged slur plays into it.

How do you misspell "the"?

49ers announce release of veteran LB Bowman

Kyle Shanahan has inherited Pops' way with the truth. Monday he was asked why Bowman spent so much time on the bench Sunday. “This is not about phasing anyone out. We think keeping him fresher will help our team.”

Four-time first-team All-Pro, including once after his whole knee was torn apart on that fumble recovery in Seattle in the 2013/14 NFC championship game. For my money there were a couple of years he was better than Patrick Willis.

I don't know if he'll try to hook on with another team. But he's cooked.

One of the big Wall Street firms (CreditSuisse, maybe) lowered future guidance on Twenty-First Century Fox earnings because of low ratings with the NFL. At least, that's what they're pointing to.

You mean the NFL may end up netting a tad less than $14 billion this year?! ZOMG!

I'm looking at the TV ratings from the past week. NFL has the 1, 2,5, 6,and 7 rated shows in primetime last week. All the angry facebookers who gave up the NFL are really making a difference.
The do or die MLB wild card game between the Yankees and Twins, where everybody stood up for the Star Spangled banner, finished 28th. They only went to 43, so I couldn't find the NL wild card.

These dumb ****s don't understand SNF has fallen from no. 1 to no. 1.

I thought it would have been Peter King.

Roger Goodell Has a Secret Defender on Twitter: His Wife

My favorite part of MMQB is when PK has licked his pointer finger and held it to the wind enough to know that it's safe to do an NFL flag story in which the writer takes on the establishment in the most milquetoast of milquetoasty ways possible.

The secret to the NFL's wealth isn't that every game gets great ratings, although many do, it's that the ratings are dependable. The broadcasters know they can plug in a game and get a number they can predict with one hell of a lot more confidence than any other form of programming they have on tap. The league is really the last of the old-fashioned network TV hit shows. In a business full of very expensive bad bets, it's a percentage play.

I would like to add that his wife's secret twitter presence is the first remotely interesting thing about Roger Goodell I've ever learned.

No, you can plug in the Gary Burghoff Good Time Smilin' Variety Hour and you know you can get consistently bad ratings.

The NFL's wealth is keyed to ****ing GREAT ratings.

J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!

Early in the second quarter, it's Jets 14-Patriots 0. On merit, too.
