berselius,
There are rumblings that the Jets leadership are kind of weirdly racist so while the Jets aren’t good and the record didn’t help, you kind of wonder…

Rice Cube,
The Packers old DC had to go anyway, but I think Lafleur/the packers FO was seriously wishcasting that Saleh was going to be fired at the end of last season and would be available to pick up. Famously, Saleh was the best man at his wedding.

The whole Machado throwing a ball at the dugout thing is weird but I can sort of see where Dave Roberts has a legitimate complaint had that ball bounced a bit differently

Tigers just keep slowly chipping away at Cleveland. One big swing and they’re in it though.

Lindor is going a long way to erase the (undeserved) meh reputation he’s had with Mets fans (dying laughing). Good thing he had a quiet 2016 postseason.
