The highest, after adjusting for how often the home team gets injured in general, is Baltimore (who have switched field types since the study)This is the NicholasJOlson Twitter thread I mentioned about George IlokaSubscribe to the Athletic at this link, where you can get 30% off until August 27thSpecial thanks to Rhymesayers Entertainment and Atmosphere for the new theme song!Arif - @ArifHasanNFLJames - @bigmonoTo listen to more, this is the link to that iTunes feed.

I’m not panicking after the rough start. Am I concerned? Sure, especially about the defense, the entire unit is off their game. Does that mean I think the team is suddenly a bottom-third defense? No, that’s absurd. They’ve played poorly, but we’ve seen what they’re capable of doing http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/harrison-smith-jersey , and they’ve steadily gotten better for the past four years, so I’m not going to go jump into a volcano because of a few bad games. They’ll right the ship, and they’ll win the NFC North, book it. After they do that, then we’ll look beyond. It’s gonna be a fun year.Around the DN since our last open thread:Arif posted Norse Code Podcast Episode 248: Breaking Down the Breakdown.

We come to today’s media selection:After reading the Latavius Murray piece Authentic Ben Gedeon Jersey , I remembered how much I dislike Philly, and I remembered this rant by Bill Burr while he performed in Philadelphia one night.
