    Side note, Matt Taibbi sucks and should shut the fuck up forever after caping for Putin all these years.

    We should definitely allow more unsubstantiated kompromat in elections because apparently that’s freedom. This guy must be an insufferable bastard in his personal life.

    Matt Patricia is now the OC and the offense (and Mac Jones) hasn't looked very good so far, from what I've read.

    here's what's in it

    here's an example of a team's preview:

    continuing the example. there's actually another five pages: Strength of Schedule analysis, two pages of summary/text, offensive trends charts/dashboard, passing tendencies heat maps, and then quarterback metrics.

    it seems comprehensive but also overdone. maybe you'd be interested in this if you are a big fantasy player (mainly for knowing who is on a new team and if they fit that offense) and maybe you'd be interested in this if you are a big pre-season nfl better for team results. tough to think most of this stuff matters after a few games into the new season and all of the tendencies may change.

    i don't see how it could be. i think he sells some sort of ongoing package that probably has similar info + his tips but i don't think he's successful at gambling, right? here's what he touts but there's no way these hit:

    ya, I am not paying for his weekly content. I just like getting little tidbits regarding potential trends before they become super obvious to everyone and the books.

    appreciate the posting

    Took me a minute to realize it was legit. Nephew Kyle played it off well but had to be fuming on the inside. That and the Blake Bortles part were great.

    Big Cat says he has a life advice of his own. Goes on about a friend that wants him to help him hang out with a mutual friend of theirs next time he’s in town. Russillo’s like “why do i feel like this is about me”.

    Turns out Nephew Kyle had texted Big Cat about going out with him and RR next time he’s in town to help him out with being buddies with RR. Apparently they’ve hung out like twice.

    It’s a bit awkward and RR plays it off that he’s a loner and doesn’t really get out. Kyle actually played it off well. Worth the listen that bro linked above. Big Cat threw in a couple of barbs to poke at RR that were pretty funny.

    I’m sure Bill (someone who only watches RedZone) can pick out the elite linemen in the league
