ain't no way the Bogeyman can get you
Week 11!
The Patriots and Colts are playing in Germany this morning, and maybe the coolest play is one that happened before the game – the Frankfurt Stadium roof folding into the scoreboard.
Its roof marked a milestone in architecture and engineering. In fact, the architects of the project were awarded with an IABSE Outstanding Structure Award.
I wonder if when the roof gets in its little scoreboard home it never wants to leave, like New York Giants starting quarterback, Tommy DeVito.
"I don't have to worry about laundry, what I'm eating for dinner, chicken cutlets and all that is waiting for me when I get there. My mom still makes my bed. Everything is handled for me. Honestly, I don't even know if I could find a place closer to here than where I live. It takes me 12 minutes to get here."
Twelve minutes, believe it or not, is about how long an NFL game is if you only count when the ball is in play. An average NFL game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes.
Speaking of 11, number 11 on the Eagles, AJ Brown, is second behind Tyreek Hill to have the most regular season receiving yards.
Tyreek Hill has 1,076 and A.J. Brown has 1,005. Considering they’re only about 70 yards apart, that feels like a lot of value at +360. Could be worth taking a flyer on.

Quotes
“[Goff] told Sean I still want to do our exit meeting…’ I was like, ‘You’re crazy. Why would you want to do an exit?’ He said, ‘I want him to tell me right to my face what I did wrong. How do I get better?’”
After the Stafford-Goff trade, Goff met with Andrew Whitworth to discuss it
“I’d never draft a QB who didn’t play another sport growing up. I’d never draft a QB without talking to his teammates first. And I’d have to sit down with him and watch film. I would make him explain where the rules stop and where the instincts kick in.”
Texans QB CJ Stroud
"I got five sacks. I need three more to hit the incentive, so that's the only thing on my mind and then after that, everything after that is just extra on top."
Bills DT Ed Oliver on his performance at midseason
"I'm a violent guy. I like to hit people."
Jabrill Peppers was asked whether he'd be interested in playing flag football in the Olympics. Unsurprisingly, he said that's probably not the sport for him. Said he'd probably get ejected if he tried to play flag.
