Also, continuing the stuff from the last thread, the best TE games of the last decade: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2020/quick-reads-decade-review-te-games

Which starts off: Kelce, Gates, Gronk, Gronk, Vernon, Gronk, Gates for the top 7 games.

Antonio Gates ruled

Yeah, they also do a full decade list, which is just so many words about Gronk: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2020/quick-reads-decade-review-te-totals

But Gates is 5th, despite the 2010's starting in year 8 of his career, and with this note:

Gronkowski's 461 DYAR in 2011 was the best in this or any other decade. The second-best mark of the 2010s was Antonio Gates' 361 in 2010.


Yeah, it's funny just how slow Gates and Witten were in their last years... but still catching stuff, just doing these old man shuffles to pick up 8 yards then going down immediately as someone 12 years younger then them comes screaming at them.

That 2014 game vs the Seahawks that the list mentioned was just stupid. He completely clowned Kam Chancellor the entire game and looked like he was 25 again.

Over the last decade I think it's been pretty comparable, especially on offense

That was with the Yankees right? If so , that was at least in the zeitgeist of when the Yankees were just buying all the best players so everyone hated them for that.

Universally loved should imply that division opponents (can) still hate the player.

Hence, gently caress Mike Trout. But also lol that the best player in baseball can't be capitalized on to the point that all he does is talk about the weather on his twitter feed, and we get stories about how his wife wishes he'd stop sending her links about bomb cyclones.

The naming scheme is kind of set in stone. One word, something bland. Even the 49ers had the good sense to contract their name into two numbers instead of a hyphenated word. They have to be something lame like the Washington Foxes or the Washington Hawks. Also ESPN fading out Washington owns.

It took the entire offseason for ESPN to rename San Diego Chargers to Los Angeles Chargers.

They did Washington and Vegas immediately
