A striking Hollywood writer, a priest, and a rabbi walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Is this the beginning of a joke or the start of a new blockbuster movie?"
So, If I remember correctly, the running joke was that "All predictions wrong...or your money back". Since the column was free, there was no money to get back.
So now that we are all here and there is money involved... if a prediction becomes true, does the newsletter then become free? :)
So a striking Hollywood writer, a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar. After a few drinks, they ask each other what is the worst thing they have ever done, and the bartender tells them that the one that did the worst deed will drink for free. The rabbi goes first “once, when I was young, and very hungry, I ate a BLT.” The priest goes next “once, when I was young, I had intercourse with a woman.” The striking Hollywood writer goes next “once, when I was young, I wrote a season of 24, which, mind you, takes place in 24 hours, where Jack Bauer gets his daughter kidnapped, gets shot rescuing his daughter, flies across the state, gets his wife kidnapped, gets shot rescuing her, flies back across the state hanging from the helicopter by his fingertips, gets shot a third time, his daughter kidnapped again, rescues her again, gets shot a 4th time, puts a little pressure on it, winces a little, and walks off into the sunset with his family.” Bartender tells him “you are drinking for free tonight, that is the worst thing I have ever heard, and I’ve heard some bad things about the priest”
One partial solution I've heard to help RBs get improved value would be to change the franchise tag rules to use the average salaries for all offensive non-QB skill players (RB, WR and TE).
Although I suppose it's just as likely teams would simply cut the player instead.
I'm back and I'm bad! well, I'm back
YESSSSSSSS!!!! TMQ is back! It's like Christmas in August!
Now *that's* Christmas creep!
Ye Gods! Is it true?
Forty years of wilderness,
TMQ returns.

It’s great to have you back!

this is the best one so far! thanks Gregg
The next agreement between the league and players should probably increase value for young running backs which would solve the problem

I signed up initially for TMQ but promise to keep my subscription all year. The non football articles are worth the price.
Can’t think of a finish to the joke, but it would have something to do with streaming Mass leading to reduced residuals.

Watching NFL
