Jason Kelce has retired. Sorry this is the way it ended but he had one heck of a career!! I was so torn with last night's game. My DH is a Tampan and has always rooted for the Bucs. So by marriage osmosis, I do too. Closest team to us is Dallas and I refuse to yell for them. So we are Bucs fans. I really wanted them to win but I really wanted to see Jason go one more time. I wish him the best!

I thought you might be interested in this bit of sports news breaking here in the UK. A young Welsh international rugby player called Louis Rees-Zammit is joining the IPP. He is only 22 and has already gained 32 caps playing for his country. He will miss the big rugby tournament called the Six Nations due to start in Feb and will most certainly be missed by Wales. It will be interesting to see how he gets on. I've included a YouTube video of some of his tries for club and country. If you don't know rugby, players must play the ball backwards but can kick forward and chase which he is good at. BBC Wales and Gloucester winger Louis Rees-Zammit is to leave rugby union with immediate effect to join the NFL international player pathway (IPP). The 22-year-old, who has been capped by Wales 32 times, described the decision as "painstaking". He is aiming to earn a spot on an American football team for 2024. "I am extremely excited to take up a once in a lifetime opportunity to pursue a new challenge," Rees-Zammit said. Rees-Zammit said the move did not necessarily mean he was retiring from rugby. "Rather at this age and stage of my life I am excited to explore a unique challenge that has the potential to diversify my skillset," he said. The IPP, which runs for 10 weeks, gives athletes from around the world the chance to earn a spot on an NFL roster and Rees-Zammit will travel to Florida this week to start on the programme.

LIONS! LIONS! LIONS LIONS LIONS!
Sooooo happy in my house this weekend - between CJ Stroud (Buckeye!!) and the Lions win - we keep pinching ourselves. That stadium went CRAAAAZY Sunday night! I KNOW we can beat the bucs - if we can score in the second half! Also, I can't stand Baker Mayfield. I still hold a grudge from when he played at Ohio Stadium.
What a weekend!

So happy that my Bills sent the Steelers packing! Now we have to do the same with Mahomes...I can't stand that guy.
Sorry to hear about Jason Kelce retiring. I watched his documentary on Amazon Prime and it was definitely time. He probably should have gone last year, IMHO.

I am so very glad I am a regular person and not a well known person.
I'm going to give hate on men who abuse and sexually harass. But the hate others get sucks.

He played well this year as far as I know

29 days until pitchers and catchers report. So, DH was looking at the end of year metrics for our mlb app. I know I watch a lot of baseball, I try to watch most Braves games and since I’m out of region I can watch most of them on the app. Well, turns out it’s more than a lot. I was top 9% in all app users and top 1% in Braves users I realize the biggest Braves fans are likely in region and can’t watch the games using the app, but that’s still a lot. I probably should be embarrassed, but as that’s almost all I watch all year long, and I read about 275 books too, I’m okay with it and am really looking forward to Spring Training!

Yep, it's the countdown till preseason for me again. I love everything about football season including my fantasy football league (which I won this year!), my Seahawks and even the Cowboys. I'm out of market for the Seahawks but splurge on Sunday Ticket to see my games. Can it be September again?!

He played well this year as far as I know Just from listening to what he was saying about the state of his body. How he wants to be able to get down on the floor and play with his grandkids. He said he was 35 but has the body of someone twice his age, with all of his aches, pains and the various broken bones throughout the years. He sounded so sad talking about it.

linkI heard there was trash talk coming out of Green Bay before the game on Saturday with the 49ers. This Chmura guy is a former Packers player. Not nice… Here is an example from the 49webzone…. ”You guys are going to think I'm crazy, a 15-yard penalty—and I don't condone this, but I kind of do in the playoffs—a 15-yard penalty for a late hit on Brock Purdy is not a bad thing, as long as it's worth it," Chmura said during an ESPN Milwaukee broadcast. He added, "Sometimes a 15-yard penalty early in the game is worth it if you knock the living crap out of the guy." These comments have not been well-received by NFL fans, including former 49ers defensive lineman Bryant Young. When asked about Chmura's remarks in an interview on Bay Area radio station KNBR, Young was clearly disturbed. "That's the stuff we don't need to hear or say, whether you want to accomplish that or not," Young declared during the "Murph and Markus" show. "But it don't need to be put out there. And the game is violent and physical as it is without the guys taking cheap shots. But to put that out there, I mean, come on.”

49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy just can’t seem to get a tiny amount of respect. Look at the company he’s with.
David Lombardi…
“Best adjusted net yards/attempt+ single full seasons in NFL history:
1. 2004 Peyton Manning 2. 1984 Dan Marino 3. 2011 Aaron Rodgers 4. 2023 Brock Purdy 5. 2007 Tom Brady”
Some replies…
“Manning, Rodgers, and Brady were surrounded with weapons galore but got all the credit. Purdy breaks the media narrative of what a QB is supposed to look and play like, so he'll get no credit at all, even if he wins it all.”
Amy Trask is a former Raiders executive who is not a fan of Purdy.
”Some day he may be as exceptional as Baker Mayfield according to Amy Trask! People that discredit Brock really don’t look at or care about these stats. Everything is a hot take!”
“Purdy gets so much disrespect. Apparently everyone gets credit for his numbers but HIM. 😂😫”
“i think he is having such an insane start to his career that people just simply cannot get their heads around it and need to make a shitload of excuses as to why he could possibly end up on a list like this (and every other)”
