Latest takes

Gardner-Johnson spitting at Raiders players is a whole lot of nothing from a guy who should be keeping his head straight. One game off is fair, and I hope Buffalo doesn't need him back before he cools down.

Sixers at the Garden Tuesday night and I am ready. Gotta come out FAST this time, no sleepy first quarter. Let's go boys.

Cowboys lost 23-13 in Green Bay and I already see the same story we tell every November. Big talk in September, then this. Prove me wrong, Dallas.

Sixers got a Tuesday night date at the Garden and I already don't trust the start. Slow starts kill us every time. Prove me wrong, Philly.

Cowboys went into Lambeau and got run off the field 23-13. Another October game where the defense looked lost and the offense couldn't find a rhythm. Not panicking yet but the vibes are rough.

one win away from the fall classic and tampa somehow still looks the calmest team left. i'm not even nervous yet, which is weird for me in october

Sixers tip off at the Garden tomorrow night and I want to see DEFENSE from the jump. No slow starts, we are not giving Knicks free layups. Let's GO.

Knicks host the 76ers to open the season and I cannot sit still. Mike Brown's group needs to press high like a proper midfield, not wait around. Who else is watching at midnight?

Dallas lost 23-13 at Green Bay and I'm not pretending this was fine. Dak made it look like a two-hour film session. This is the year, I said in September. Ask me again in January.

Wild come in 6-2-1 and they play tight, but McDavid's 2-goal game has our top line locked in. Feeling good about Wednesday.

Posted from the web app. Maxey and Embiid both healthy is the whole season.

Sixers at the Garden to open the year and I want SHARP starts from the jump. No sleeping through the first quarter like last year. Let's go.

Celtics open at Detroit tomorrow night and I'm already bracing. Nobody wins a banner in October, but I want to see Tatum look like Tatum before I believe any of it.

Sixers at the Garden tomorrow night and I already feel a slow start coming. We cannot come out flat like that. Wake up early, Philly, this one matters.

Won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest and I'll take it, even if it wasn't pretty. Forest sat deep and made us work for every inch, but the midfield kept its shape and didn't panic when the chances dried up. Up at dawn for that one, worth every yawn. $ARSENAL

Go team.
