This is the Nehemiah I roll with:

You know what I'm hoping plays out and I'm a bit surprised that no pundit (to by knowledge) has floated the idea, but given the relationship between Jerry Jones and Deion Sanders, given the hype and media attention it would garner, given that Dak Prescott is in his 30's and coming off of injury...

Or, with rosters pushed out to 15 players, Niko and crew are also looking for back-end of the roster types who will affect the NIL pool minimally, have a chance to develop, and can at least contribute as a body in practice.

Check it out again, my overall number went from double digits to single digits overnight. And you are correct, I was salivating when the categories came up today. It was such a bonanza that I was able to use former Twins for the Yankees category too. Nats/Expos: Chris Speier (.3%)...

I feel your pain on the slip of the finger or the last millisecond rearranging of names that thwarts my board. I'm not sure why he's stuck in my head as a Vikings/Jets alum, but Todd Scott works. He may not have been an all time great, but he gave us an all-time great memory in housing an...

My perfect April came to an end with the Negro Leagues/born overseas category. It was gnawing at me that I should be able to identify at least one player and after the fact, I see Minnie Minoso was the most popular choice. Alas, May's just around the corner.

Counterpoint: Did Kordell Stewart ever perform his own hip-hop song at Colorado’s spring football game?

To be fair to your daughter, being a young teacher is grueling and energy sapping, as they figure out classroom management, develop their toolbox of lesson plans while aligning to curriculum, being put under the microscope by students and parents, and depending upon their situation, not feeling...

Woke up early on a Saturday morning to watch the Twins on Apple TV+. Was pleasantly surprised to see the Twins up 1-0 in the fourth and after realizing Festa was pitching, settled in. The following occurred: Detroit gets a runner on 1st and a bleeder past the second baseman makes it to the...

As I’ve been seeing so many players in the portal who played a handful of games and then got injured, never to return for that season, I am wondering how many of these players are deciding to cash the season in, making sure they can retain their eligibility by not exceeding the games played...

And traded for Gary Templeton! By transitive property, he was traded for the Wizard of Ozzie Smith 😉

I went back to a couple familiar wells: Mariners-John Moses (.5%) Mets-Tim Teufel (3%) 40 WAR-Jim Perry (slides on by with 41--0.3%) I was surprised that Teufel wasn't more of a rarity--next time these two teams come up, I'll need to remember who we received in the Teufel trade--Mr. Moneyball...

I'll throw out another more obscure name from the past, Pitt's Chevy Troutman. A wide body whose interior passing was sublime. I'm going to channel him for Mr. Vaihola.

I would LOVE a Golden Gopher version of Oliver Miller.

Regarding that final scene, I was right there with you-man, did I want him to hang out with his nephew , connect with his wife, come back into the fold-where movies tend to take us, the full on redemptive arc. But the way it closed, I thought it was perfect in its ambiguity and IMO, what brought...

I can agree with you (to a degree) on the caricature of their characters, but what caught me was the vulnerability of both—Eisenberg’s successful life, but desiring what his cousin has in the ability to connect and Culkin’s charm/big feelings translating to a driftless adulthood. I felt those...

Funny you posted this, as I was also bemused by the 200 hits category--in my head, it was something that used to happen often, particularly in the more free-swinging eras of the '60s to the '80s, but as you mentioned with the Giants, when you look post-WWII, there's only been four players who...

I watched A Real Pain last night and recency bias aside, it’s feeling like the best movie I’ve watched in a long time-even surpassing Sing Sing (which I greatly enjoyed). So many layers packed into a taut 90 minutes and the final shot of Caulkin in the airport was so…evocative? Haunting...
