Before I begin this blog recapping all of the records Caitlin Clark has broken in her mere 36 games in the WNBA, I did want to take a moment to congratulate WNBA Veteran, All-Star, and Olympic Gold Me...

Look I saw Pickem this morning and the message has been heard loud and clear from the top: stop writing mean things about Deion Sanders. He is a friend of the company, and even if he's 2-9 in his last 11 games since being named Sports Person of the Year, that is not to be mentioned. It's all daisies and roses over in Boulder right now, where the Buffaloes are led by one of the finest coaches this sport has ever seen. A team first guy that in no way only doing this to prop up his kids and leave when they do. So no, this is not a Deion Sanders hate blog. This is a Shilo Sanders laugh blog. I'm laughing because isn't it funny how karma works?

Look, everyone has their price. Even the most heinous, diabolical acts have to be considered when given a hypothetical of "how much money would it take to _____?" Or even if you don't want to get into the ridiculous examples such as killing a loved one, etc....everyone has a price for doing crazy things. For example, here are some of my prices:

Look I know this didn't happen just yesterday, but it popped up on my TikTok feed just after I watch Livvy Dunne glaze Jack Mac, and I thought it was really interesting. I went to the blog to see if our Steelers guy had touched it yet, but alas, he was out triple doinking field goals left footed. Anyways, point remains that this is an interesting topic and a quick Google search has shown me that no media source has covered it yet. Maybe Cam Heyward and his "Not Just Football" needs to get its follower count up!

So this video started making its rounds late last night, which resulted in a rare blog from Barstool in which they take the side against Colorado. But what are we supposed to do here? Boss wants us to...

Look I'm not the biggest analytics guy in the world, and the old fashioned Eye Ball Test told me that our Offensive Line played like a combination of Swiss cheese and a wet paper towel on Sunday, but PFF is a pretty recognized source of credible information in the football world. And PFF is telling me that Deshaun Watson had an average of 4.1 seconds of protection per pass play against the Cowboys. And PFF is telling me that of all six sacks Deshaun Watson took, zero of them were the Offensive Lines fault. So the takeaway from those numbers is clear: Deshaun Watson held onto the ball too long.

It sucks that the Mountain West appears to be losing its luster of what had becoming a very fun basketball conference. And I know the the Pac-12 resurgence has everything to do with football, so basketball, like all other sports these days, takes a far back seat to the money that the ol' pigskin brings in. But hear me out: should the Pac-12 make some moves and become a pretty fucking solid basketball conference?

Look I do want to be transparent that I'm blogging this during halftime of the Sunday NFL Stream from the cave in Chicago. If I would've blogged this two hours ago, I'd probably have a substantially different tone. But I think the readers of this blog should know that my brain is fresh off watching Deshaun lead the Browns right down the field on their first drive and punching it in himself.

Listen I've seen PLENTY of losses over my lifetime as a Browns fan, and from time to time, this team gets very creative in how they get there. Some of my favorites include the time when we won the game and Dwayne Rudd took off his helmet and launched it in celebration before the clock hit zero, giving the other team a penalty and a field goal to win it. Another way was back in 2015 when we lined up for a game winning field goal in a tied game against the Ravens, only to have them block it AND return it for a 33-27 victory with no time remaining. So point being, when the Browns were up 18-13 with the ball on the Jags side of the field and less than 2 minutes to play today, I was not popping bottles just yet. But how would they do it this time?

It's a damn shame that there's no Bengals blogger at this company, meaning that the onus falls upon little ol' Ohios Tate to point this fact out to the readers. But I guess, according to the map, that Cincinnati does fall within the state boundaries? Even if their airport doesn't....
