NFL - Washington released Dwayne Haskins -- (link*) - budice Dec 28, 09:44 7
- Guess he didn’t take his latest demotion well. -- nm - spamlet Dec 28, 09:54 3
  - I think they would have cut him last week if Alex Smith had been healthy. -- nm - David Dec 28, 09:55 2
    - Typically you don’t announce a demotion 45 minutes before cutting a guy. You just cut him. - spamlet Dec 28, 09:56 1

Kevin Love of the Cavs covered ALL lost wages for workers who sweep out Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. -- (link*) - Remlik Dec 28, 08:41 4

    - I'm the opposite. I'll continue watching Disco (cuz it's ST, duh) but I have a handful of problems with it. Picard is perfection. -- nm - mud Dec 28, 09:45

      - Throw them all out and pick original! -- nm - ✨Spawn✨ Dec 28, 09:02 1
