HEADLINES
18 min Cam Newton is back and gets 1st team reps
- It's insulting
For there to be an ounce of repercussions on the field for this guy is gross.
Make him back up for at least the day.
- Is Belichick worried about Cam's ego? Because Mac basically took his job yesterday if we were playing by the rules.
Mac Jones lights up the Giants.
- 18 consecutive passes
- 2 TDs
- Beauty to Jackobi Myers
Trash Talking Matt Judon
Running laps with the O Line after a fight with the Giants
* This is my QB
- Do we have to just stop asking why Belichick is doing?
- Is he just old? Losing touch with reality.
* The speculation is Belichick doesnt think Mac can last a full season physically and needs Cam to Start to limit the hits to Mac.
Fine. At what point does the team stop responding?
- If Cam has to miss another week because he refuses to get vaccinated?
- After another 69 yard 2 INT game?
- The team has now seen what Mac can do as a starter, albeit in practice.
* added covid note. Cole Beasly and 5 other non vaccinated morons Covid protocol for Bills
- This will happen all year. It's going to cost games and money
- Even Jerry Jones thinks players should be vaccinated. $$$$$$$$$$
5 min Sony Michel traded to the Rams for 5th and 6th round conditional pick
- Does this make the Patriots better this year?
* Can't keep 6 RBs
Would you rather have Sony Michel over any of the backs they are going to keep?
- It's slightly risky
* I think Harris is an injury concern
* Stevenson is an unknown rookie
- Those are your only ball carriers. White and JJ are pass catchers. Bolden special teams
* I am no sony michel fan, but the strength in numbers was the strength of the Pats RBs
Is 5th and 6th good value?
Was Sony Michel a bust as a 1st round draft pick?
Career stats
* Longest TD was 34 yards
1 31 yard TD. Nothing else over 14 yards.
Nick Chubb 5 of 41 yards or more. 92, 88, 63, 47, 41
*2018 playoffs
336 yards 6 Tds 4.7 ave
Super bowl - 94 yards 1 Td game winner. 5.2 ave

5 min Hansel and Gretel blows it again
Hansel Robles gives up 4 runs in the 10th. Red Sox lose to the Twins 9 - 6
Chaim Bloom's deadline moves will not stop burying the Red Sox
* Schwarber expected to play 1st base this week. Cool.
- Travis Shaw has actually not been terrible
- What a disastrous look for Bloom and ownership
* They sell us on Schwarber at 1st. He re injures himself. Doesnt play for 3 weeks after the deadline. Meanwhile your team blows a 10 game lead and your forced to pick up a guy off the street to play 1B because Dalbec literally cant catch.
* JD is forced in the field
* Jarret Duran sent to the minors
* You don't really have a 2B now?
* If Boegarts and JD were not struggling so bad. Especially with runners on base the team would look differently. Where's Schwarber?
*Matt Barnes has turned into a pumpkin
More deadline bashing: Barnes openly welcomed an actual closer to come to the Red Sox. Think we could use that right now?
Chris sale 2 - 0 1.80 ERA
* Does anyone want to chime in on Chris Sale being the saviour for this team as their "deadline" move?
5 min Celtics rumors shift to Damian Lillard
https://hardwoodhoudini.com/2021/08/26/boston-celtics-steal-damian-lillard/
Am I the only one worried about Dame, Brown, and Tatum working
* I feel similar about Beal
- Id push Beal to keep Tatum happy and I think he is a better distributor than Lillard.
* Dame at crunch time over Tatum 1000% at this point in their careers.
- I don't see Brown handling it well
After show
2 min Nirvana baby suing for sexual misconduct
- Fuck the world
