Sounds like BIG things to me!

I said they were small because he was playing well earlier in the game. Maybe just fatigue from the first game of the season and he’s playing more than he has in a few years. I’ll be watching and rooting for him this season.

Hawaii with the walkoff FG to beat Stanford 23-20

Just found this

Hawai'i kicker Kansei Matsuzawa decided he wanted to play football after taking a trip to the West Coast and catching his first-ever NFL game - and the rest is history

After returning to his native Japan, Matsuzawa taught himself how to kick by watching YouTube highlights of Seahawks kicker Jason Myers. After practicing in a local park and sending highlight videos out to more than 50 colleges, he finally got an invitation to kick from public community college Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio in 2021.

Matsuzawa became a kickoff specialist initially at Hocking College and would eventually work his way up to being the main kicker before getting an offer from Hawaii in 2023. Fast forward to Week 0 of the 2025 season, and Matsuzawa found himself in a position that most kickers dream of...

Two seconds left. Tie game. One kick to win it for your team - and Kansei Matsuzawa nailed that kick, giving Hawai'i a dramatic walk-off win against Stanford to open up their college football season

What a moment

Thanks a ton! Appreciate the seeding. :)

Now they care about competition integrity?

Suet they do.

It gives them the power to levy fines.

Love the Brian Robinson addition. Presumably Shanahan trusts him enough to play him a fair amount and not have CMC lead the league in touches like he did in '23. I was nervous he wasn't going to trust any of the rookies enough to play them and wear CMC down

The dollar amount hasn’t been reported, but I’ve gotta believe it’s most of the $130M.

More complex than that….he seems like a great guy, but at time of recruitment outta HS, Bama and OSU were worried about grade issues and potential eligibility…..he bounced around HS’s a lot bc of his home life and actually experienced homelessness for stretches at a time.

Ga Tech became the best option when Tashard Choice took on a father role for him. Tashard Choice was RB coach at Ga Tech and has now been hired to be RB’s coach for the Lions, reuniting them.

After (2) seasons at Ga Tech, and not having significant issues, he proved he could handle the rigors of being a college athlete and Bama ended up landing his services.

It’s actually a great story in the end….

He never got around to making it to the TE room

Xavier Johnson: Waived/injured by Houston​

The Texans waived Johnson (hand) with an injury designation Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Johnson broke his hand at some point during training camp, and he'll be out indefinitely while recovering from the injury, per Wilson. Johnson will revert to the Texans' injured reserve if he goes unclaimed off waivers, which would cause him to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Houston. Johnson spent all of last season on the Texans' practice squad but was not promoted to the 53-man roster.

AR15 lost the starting job to *checks notes* Daniel Jones.

SHOCKED that a sub 60% college passer is struggling in the NFL.

I think Cardale Jones catches a stray in this one.

I joined about 7 weeks after BP got underway. I had a 9 year-old in primary school. She is now a doctor. My oldest kid was studying for an electrical engineering bachelors degree. He finished that, a MSc in IT and an MBA and has kids just a year younger than his sister was way back then.

Knee pain...getting bilateral knee replacements was one of the best decisions I ever made. Did a 7.5 km speed walk today.
