When Luis Arraez was growing up on the outskirts of San Felipe, Venezuela, only one other MLB player had come from his area: Marco Scutaro. As another undervalued contact hitter who had to fight for a pro contract, Scutaro showed Arraez what was possible. Their story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Didn't know there was an electrical substation near the Broncos' practice facility
The Eagles must've despised each other to levels rarely seen in pro sports and been dysfunctional as hell to lose to this shell of a 49ers team.
Kyle looking for one last catastrophic injury to take him into the offseason (why is Purdy still playing)
Aaron Rodgers bounced off that cornerback like a toddler trying to tackle a Great Dane
Gotta love the network officiating guy saying the call is bad when there's nothing that can be done about it lol
I'm still at a loss. Everyone I know was like, "Welp, that's the season," after Kittle tore his Achilles.
When Brady essentially says it was a weak call on a QB hit, you know it's bad.
No pass interference calls, no false starts on the road, it was wild.
Juice turning into Travis Kelce for a half hour wasn't on my bingo card.
The 49ers committed one "penalty" (a very dubious personal foul for unnecessary roughness) the entire game. That's incredible.
Declining to talk is an unusual move for him.
The 2025 Philadelphia Eagles' video highlight package should be a loop of A.J. Brown arguing with Nick Sirianni.
How the hell did the 49ers win this?
Honestly the Jets should sign Jauan Jennings as a QB. It's not like anything else they've tried has worked.
Oh yeah, I've messed myself up getting the brita pitcher out of the fridge more than once lol
I've had disc issues most of my life. Makes life miserable when something flares up.
Oh 100%. Kyle will still run him into the ground if he can, but he took a beating this year.
Agreed, I was thinking more about that last play. Tough to make that kind of adjustment when your lower back is toast.
Yeah spending $30M/year on a guy who vanished wasn't optimal
Also we might be seeing the effects tonight of Christian McCaffrey having a career-high in touches during his age-29 season. Had the back injury last week.
Despite the 49ers getting fully outplayed in most areas, they still somehow could've won this (or at least been in position to) if Yetur Gross-Matos had recovered that fumble. Seattle took advantage of the tipped pass + CMC bobble, though.
Troy Aikman might love Upton Stout more than any Niner who has ever lived.
Never a good sign when you're averaging more yards per carry than yards per attempt unless you're having a rushing game for the ages.
Sounds crazy but Pearsall's absence (after practicing this week) might be as detrimental as Trent's. Seattle can focus everything on Kittle and McCaffrey, and these third downs look like a nightmare for Purdy.
The schedule has helped, but the fact that they came into this game 12-4 with their current level of defensive talent (plus no Aiyuk and no Pearsall half the time) is a miracle.
AKA Cam Ward's only game without getting sacked? Lol
Feels like we kind of knew this was a possibility when they gave up 8.1 ypc to Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears three weeks ago.
Trent always looks euphoric when he gets to do it.
