The Biggest Conspiracy Theory in NFL History 😱
This is wild: Ex-#Falcons starting RB Devonta Freeman "Liked" a tweet which said then Falcons OC Kyle Shanahan tanked the #Patriots Super Bowl 51 and lost on purpose in order to get Jimmy Garoppolo via trade to San Francisco once he took over as head coach.
It seems very… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The fact that the Falcons-Patriots Super Bowl, arguably one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time, was almost seven years ago, makes me feel like projectile vomiting right into my laptop as I write this.
Maybe Falcons fans should try to move on, but it's probably extremely hard when '28-3' is constantly shoved in your face.
this is an all-timer

In the first tweet I provided above, it showed that Devonta Freeman liked a post which alleged that Kyle Shanahan intentionally allowed the New England Patriots to come back and win the legendary Super Bowl LI Game. This alleged move was aimed at facilitating the trade of Jimmy Garoppolo from the New England Patriots to the San Francisco 49ers, where Shanahan would be coaching the following year.
The essence of this theory is that the Patriots' historic comeback in that Super Bowl game allowed Tom Brady to retain his position as the starting quarterback, consequently keeping Garoppolo in the background. This made it more likely for Garoppolo to be traded to the San Francisco 49ers, where he ended up the next year under the coaching of Kyle Shanahan. 😱
ARE THERE ANY LEGS TO THIS THEORY? |
NFL Players on The Trade Block 😬
As October arrives, so does the looming trade deadline. Teams have until 4 p.m. ET on October 31 to make player trades, and in the weeks ahead, a few inevitably will.
Although no teams have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, it's becoming increasingly evident that some are not likely to compete this season. These teams are likely to focus on the prospects of 2024 and beyond and might make veteran players available ahead of the trade deadline. Here's a look at who I think makes the most sense to be on the trade block:
Las Vegas Raiders WR, Davante Adams
Atlanta Falcons TE, Kyle Pitts
Carolina Panthers EDGE, Brian Burns
Minnesota Vikings QB, Kirk Cousins
Denver Broncos CB, Patrick Surtain II
We thought Jonathan Taylor would be on the trade block when he came back from the PUP list, but it seems like he is ready to go for the Colts.
In his first public comments since June, Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor told reporters: “It feels really good to be healthy. The main goal was to be healthy and play football.” Taylor is physically ready to play.

Evan Neal Called Fans “Sheep” 🐑
OT Evan Neal responded to fans' criticism by saying, "Why would a lion concern himself with the opinion of a sheep?" He also added, "The person that’s commenting on my performance, what does he do? Flip hot dogs and hamburgers somewhere?"
Neal, who was the 7th overall pick in the 2022 Draft, faced challenges during the game against the Seahawks on Monday Night. At one point, he was even seen blocking his own teammate instead of a defender. 😂

Twins Fans Just Cursed Their Team
"We want Houston!"
Surely this will age well for Twins fans 😬

This scenario is all too familiar in baseball, and history has shown it rarely ends well. Could it be that videos and chants like this invoke a curse from fans? 100000%. That’s why we are fading the Twins HARD against their upcoming series against the Astros.
This series will be intense. Having just clinched their first postseason series victory since 2002, the Twins will likely bring a wave of pent-up energy and brutal chants against an organization that actually deserves it.
Although I want the Twins to win, it's hard to ignore that the Astros have the stronger team and more experience in the postseason. I anticipate that this video will come back to haunt them. The Twins will either get swept or win one game of the series.

Never Bet Against Spencer Strider 😤
Strider's gonna DOMINATE Game 1 of the NLDS 💪

Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider aims to continue his dominant performance against the Philadelphia Phillies when the two NL East rivals face off in the NLDS on Saturday at 6:07 p.m. ET in Atlanta.
Although some may recall the last playoff series where Strider struggled against the Phillies, allowing five earned runs over 2.1 innings, it's important to note that he was a different pitcher at that time. He was recovering from an oblique injury and was not in his usual form.
The healthy Strider we've witnessed throughout this entire will be a nightmare for Philadelphia.
I SMELL A UK vs UGA UPSET! 👃
#20 Undefeated (5-0) Kentucky Wildcats face #1 Undefeated (5-0) Georgia Bulldogs in a crucial game. The Bulldogs seem vulnerable, and this isn't the same dominant Georgia team we're used to. 👀
Kentucky, showing prowess by defeating ranked Florida Gators 33-14 with 300+ rushing yards, looks strong. 😤 Meanwhile, Georgia's defense showed vulnerability, allowing over 200 rushing yards for the first time in six years against LSU.
Georgia's impressive night game record in Athens could be challenged, especially considering Kentucky beat them last in a night game in 2009. 😳 This one-sided series (Georgia leads 62-12-2) might see a shift.
Betting Trends 📊🚀
In the previous season, Georgia won 16-6, yet Kentucky covered as a 22.5-point home underdog and the Under hit.
Each of Kentucky’s last nine October games against AP-ranked teams has gone UNDER the total points line.
Kentucky has covered the spread in nine of its last 10 October games against AP-ranked teams.
