Is it a bonus thing about games played in?

Possible. Did not consider that. 

Quote from al.com article:

“It’d mean a lot to me personally, which is why I want to play so bad,” Johnson said about the prospect of playing again in 2019. “Just ending on a good note instead of ending on another bad note like last year. Hopefully, we put together two wins here. To other people, it may not mean much, but to us, a win’s a win.”

Will Winston be a 30/30 guy this season?

Why? Even the Lions can't be dumb enough to play Kerryon In two meaningless games?

Yup! We did him wrong by taking away his opportunity to treat us like garbage on NSD. Screw that!

He will fit in perfectly with all the updykes I deal with, everyday, in West Vance. 

From moonshine runner to NASCAR legend. 

Be interesting to see the ratings when Dynamite comes back on 1/1/20. Hopefully the Dark Order beatdown angle, used to close last nights show,  does not cause people to give up on the promotion.  Add to that the awful Nightmare Collective angle and I can see AEW causing fans to change the channel to nxt or abandoning wrestling completely.

Doubt Vince Russo could come up with something that bad.

Hopefully, during the Christmas hiatus, AEW can resolve some of the issues with their booking and production of the show and come out strong in 2020. I cheering for them to succeed.

Angelo Blackson earns NFL Player of the Week recognition

Posted Dec 18, 8:32 AM

 

By Mark Inabinett | minabinett@al.com

Houston Texans defensive end Angelo Blackson has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 15 of the NFL’s 2019 season.

In Houston's 24-21 victory over Tennessee on Sunday, Blackson blocked a 45-yard field-goal attempt by Ryan Succop to end the Titans' first possession of the game. It was the first blocked field-goal attempt by the Texans since the second week of the 2015 season.

The former Auburn standout is in his fifth NFL season and his first as a full-time starter. He entered the league as a fourth-round draft choice of the Titans and has been with the Texans since 2017. Houston signed Blackson to a three-year, $12 million contract in March to keep him from entering free agency.

Auburn NFL roundup: Darius Slayton catches another TD pass from Eli Manning

Posted Dec 15, 2019

 

By Mark Inabinett | minabinett@al.com

Rookie wide receiver Darius Slayton got into the end zone again for the Giants as New York defeated the Miami Dolphins 36-20 on Sunday.

Slayton caught two passes for 31 yards, including a 5-yarder for a touchdown as New York took a 14-10 lead with 11:53 left in the third quarter. The Giants led the rest of the game. Slayton caught a 26-yard pass on the first snap of the second half to launch the touchdown drive.

With eight touchdown receptions, Slayton has more than any other NFL rookie this season. Only two rookies in franchise history have had more touchdown receptions than Slayton -- Odell Beckham Jr. with 12 in 2014 and Bill Swiacki with 10 in 1948.

Slayton caught the 366th touchdown pass of Giants quarterback Eli Manning's career -- and it might have been the final one.

In his 16th season, Manning was benched after two games in 2019 in favor of first-round draft choice Daniel Jones. Manning returned to the lineup last week with Jones sidelined by an ankle injury. New York has two games remaining on its 2019 schedule, but if Jones is ready to return next week and speculation about Manning's impending retirement turns out to be true, the QB might have bowed out with a victory at MetLife Stadium.

The Giants sent Alex Tanney into the game to replace Manning during New York's final offensive series, and he received a big ovation from the home crowd as he left the field of play.

“It’s probably something I won’t be able to appreciate until I get older and look back fully," Slayton said, "but it’s definitely a special thing for me. Just being a young guy, a rookie at that, playing with a Hall of Fame quarterback, getting to see something like that, it was a lot of fun.”

Because he missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury, Slayton was playing in his second game with Manning. In the first, he caught five passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-17 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.

Slayton was among the 11 former Auburn players who got on the field on the 15th Sunday of the NFL’s 100th season.

Two other former Auburn players were at the Dolphins-Giants game:

· Dolphins fullback Chandler Cox was designated as inactive. Cox had been listed as doubtful on the Miami injury report because of a shoulder injury.

· Giants guard Chad Slade (Moody) was designated as inactive.

New England Patriots 34, Cincinnati Bengals 13

· Carlton Davis started at cornerback for the Buccaneers. Davis made three tackles and broke up a pass.

Houston Texans 24, Tennessee Titans 21

· Titans linebacker Daren Bates was designated as inactive. A shoulder injury has kept Bates off the field for two straight games.

· Angelo Blackson started at defensive end for the Texans. Blackson made two tackles and blocked a field-goal attempt. On Tennessee's first possession of the game, Blackson got a hand on a 45-yard field goal attempt.

· Packers defensive lineman Montravius Adams played but did not record any stats.

Jacksonville Jaguars 20, Oakland Raiders 16

Arizona Cardinals 38, Cleveland Browns 24
