I love op-eds. Especially when an idiot who's never been outside of Florida is given a headline on Muck Rack.

He's been the front man in too many scrums.

You play rugby ib college and get a degree in sports management.
You then have to find a real job instead of a game.

The 101 greatest nicknames in football history

From Sweetness and Beast Mode to Too Tall Jones and Broadway Joe, Touchdown Wire reveals the ultimate hierarchy of gridiron nicknames.

touchdownwire.usatoday.com

This article implies a ranking of nickname but observation seems to dictate this is just a list and not a ranking. How could Wayne Crebet's "Green Lantern" rank ahead of Billy Johnson's "White Shoes"?

As far as being stupid, it lists several that weren't actually real nicknames such as "Bad Moon" for Andre Rison and "My Favorite" for Curtis Martin, both only used by ESPN's Chris Berman.

Apparently there are a lot of draftpicks not yet signed around the league.
Everybody waiting to see what everybody else does.

Finally an explanation....

Curran: Agholor, Dugger stand out on Day 3 of Pats camp

While our Tom E. Curran took in all of the Mac Jones and Cam Newton throws on Friday at training camp, two other players jumped out to him during New England’s third practice session.

www.nbcsports.com

In this article Nelson Agholor is described as the "Most polished downfield threat since Brandon Cooks"...

That explains most of Brandon Cooks tenure with the Pats... He was playing with polish on his hands which made it difficult for him to hold onto the ball...

I know you didn't miss me much, but I flew to S.C. (Mertyl Beach) yesterday morning, touched down at 10:15 and 11:15 was driving back to Manchester in a car I'm buying from my daughter. Got home after a 1003 mile drive about 2:30 this afternoon. I hated the monsoons in Vietnam and hate them worse in the Carolinas. Just wanted you to know I wasn't deceased.

All that rain you saw in North Carolina started out here in Georgia.
By now it is over the Cape and skirting past Boston?

It's getting close. I received a flash flood warning for from 8PM tonight to tomorrow morning. I'm between the cape and Boston.

I've been driving since 1967 and I swear, I've never seen rain like that when I've been behind the wheel. It was as if someone was pouring a giant bucket of water on the windshield and the wipers were useless. The visibility was so bad that I had to slow to about 25 mph because I could barely see the car in front of me tail lights which were on. What are normally puddles were small ponds and driving into them was like slamming on the brakes. It took me 90 minutes to go 18 miles on the way out of Mertyl Beach. The first leg to Baltimore took me from 11:15 am until 9:30 pm and that was only 550 miles. The last 453 miles were peachy until I hit Connecticut. I decided not to take the Mrrit from 95 to Hartford and then cut across to 495 N. I figured I'd take 91 to Hartford nd then get on 84 and cut across Mass. The 91 exit had a multi =car accident and the off traffic was backed up in two lanes almost a mile. No choice, had to drive to Providence, RI on 95 and then swing up to 3 to Manchester. That was an extra 50 miles out of the way.

The most painful?

New Jersey pike from entry out of Penn. to NY = $16.05
George Washington Bridge = $16.00

You damn well better have EZ Pass by September because they've built all new exits and it's EZ Pass only. The cameras will get your plate and send to the toll plus a processing fee.

I never take the Pike, I avoid it like the plague. I get on 81 N as soon as i can take that to 84 E at Scranton cruise into Hartford then Mass Pike for a bit into NH.

I thought NH and Mass had plate recognition. Where it flashes a pic of your plate then send you a bill. Thought they went to that in 19 or 20?

Driven that route sooo many times I have, literally, done it in my sleep.
Like, I woke up from the g force as I was merging onto 84.
Scared the fuck out of me.
Now, I get sleepy, I pull over for a cup of coffee and a 20 minute nap

Yeah to me it's a better more scenic route. I have to drop my mother in law at her sisters in Woodbridge VA I pop back on 95 S then grab 234 N or W can't remember to 66 W then onto 81. I like it a lot more than driving through DC. Baltimore, Philly, Jersey Pike and NYC

I would take 17 from Fredericksburg, VA to Winchester, VA. Gives me a bit of a break from staring at the interstate and gets me around DC. More smaller towns with hole in the wall local eateries and such.
