No worries @Spurt, you know I don't really have serious favorites anymore or much care about the NFL, but keep in mind, this wasn't USA Today, but AI making this round of predictions, they just published them.

YES, I know its AI everyone is using it to do their work for them...its like analytics but it doesn't guarantee accuracy....its like the saying goes.....ITS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAMES! 

It's like all these AI Chatbot written novels on You Tube, that usually have some errors or something in the plot that doesn't even make sense..I was curious, listened to a couple, just waste of time--NO MORE!-Give me a good paperback or hardcover book and a real good human author! ..AI is only as good as the people that develop these technologies....

@Spurt  I'm not a big fan either, I just thought it was kind of curious. Heck, the auto-generated AI replies Google is now giving to many questions posed are as often wrong or out of date as they are current and correct. As for You Tube's chatbot component, they've gone wild with them and most are nothing if not gratuitous.

AMEN to what you said!!! Like the Texas flood disaster,  AI had all these stories out there.....kids being rescued from trees in a dramatic fashion, Eric Clapton and Tom Brady paying for children's funeral expenses, Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin singer, who once actually lived in Austin, serving food to rescue workers....ALL THESE STORIES WERE FALSE!!! SMH!!!

Washington signed former Chiefs OL Lucas Niang. Depth replacement for the retired Nate Herbig. Played 33 games over the last three years. Nine starts but none since 2022.

Ms. Kay Adams will be visiting Washington's Training Camp today, July 31. She always has good interviews.

If the Giants win that many games, I'd be shocked. Their schedule is brutal, and their roster isn't the greatest. They could pretty easily be at risk of losing every game this year. 

We have a game tonight! Football is back! Well, sort of. Still, even bad football is better than no football. 

The Cowboys are bumping rookie RB Jaydon Blue up to some first-team reps. That's probably less of a sign of how good he is and more of a sign of how bad their other backs are. Blue is a bit on the smaller side to be an every-down back. They've whiffed on getting a good back for some time now. I don't think Blue will be the answer. We'll find out in a few more weeks.
