- Home run derby announcers in 2025: "With a launch angle to 46 degrees and a bat speed of 103, he hit that ball 476 feet." Home run derby of my youth: "BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK"
- DK gets his wish to play somewhere warm with a stable QB situation.
- Bengals long snapper Cal Adomitis, who played with Damar Hamlin at Central Catholic and Pitt, said that when Cincy was updated on Hamlin's status, Joe Burrow was the first one to speak up and ask if the team could visit the Bills locker room to express their support/ concern.
- Jaylen Warren said he might keep the jersey to remember his first career 100-yard performance, but it’s kinda expensive lol
00:00 - I’m not joking when I say a 43-year-old Big Ben might be one of the Steelers’ best remaining options at QB
- The Steelers ran the ball fourth-most last year, while Aaron Rodgers attempted the second-most passes. Arthur Smith on marrying together a run-heavy OC with pass-happy QB: “We didn’t bring Aaron in here and sign DK for all that money to go run the wishbone.”
00:00 - Whoever decided to have James Harrison give the fan code of conduct speech deserves a raise
00:00 - Sidney Crosby scores goal No. 500. The Penguins bench clears in celebration.
00:00 - Darnell Washington said the salute was to honor his brother, Ezekiel, who is in the Marines.
00:00Darnell Washington's brother, Ezekiel, is a Marine who had a huge impact on his life. The TE promised to do the salute to honor him after his first TD. It took until his second season, but there it is. - Patrick Queen on the environment: “It was incredible. I might get a little heat, but it’s kind of different than being at home. They were into it the WHOLE game. Every single third down, we could hear them.”
00:00 - George Pickens: “You can’t play the Bills and the refs… “… just politically, when you guys go back and watch the game, watch the refs.”
00:00 - Payton Wilson on the defense and his INT: “If their offense doesn’t score, they don’t win games. That’s our mentality.”
