It's good. Barkley even mentioned he wants to follow his blueprint. He is very frugal.

[iamjs]

Maybe don't throw furniture from a 14th floor?

so he wasn't trying to hit the thief from the 14th floor?

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Oh goodie, I was worried this AB saga wouldn't get any worse. $80k and a gun stolen. Smart.

[Morkle]

Something doesn't add up with AB. Just seems fishy.

[nocera]

What? He just had 80k and a gun in a high-end Miami condo, hired cleaners who reportedly stole from him, then proceeded to throw furniture out the window. So what? Oh and then he said somebody stole his Rolls but when the cops showed up he was just like "lol jk I found it."

[Nittany Ned]

This isn't going to just die down peacefully.

I know of Ophir Sternberg.

The man has STUPID money. WAY more than Brown. And - being a former member of The Elite Israeli Defense Force unit, he could kick Brown's ***, too.

Sigh. That Illuminati lifestyle...

[NTP66]

Brown’s a broke dick no cake **** who’s now gonna get his ass kicked. Got it. Whackjob.

AB’s personal life is extremely turbulent it appears (didn’t he post a bunch of docs complaining about child support for his kid last year on Instagram) and it seems that, unfortunately, we’re eventually headed towards some sad degree of self-destruction.

From last August :

https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2017/ ... ama-drama/

Brown is in something of a love triangle with his new girlfriend and the mother of two of his kids, with a third on the way.

The mother of soon-to-be three of Brown’s children is Chelsie Kyriss. According to her, they have been together for six years, and as recently as March she and her prominent baby bump was featured on some of Brown’s Snapchats.

But then suddenly we no longer saw Kyriss on any of his social media and instead see Brown all chummy with Instagram model Jenna Frumes.

It amazes me how these guys can't stop breeding.

My balls was hot.

Most missed tackles forced as a runner and a receiver through the first 5 weeks this season:

James Conner - 32
Saquon Barkley - 27
Kareem Hunt - 26
Lynch, Gordon, McCaffrey - 23

@JamesConner_ is one hard man to bring down! #Steelers

Not bad James. Also, while I haven’t said it, but others who know about and know the Giants are saying that Barkley may be a “bust.” I will be reviewing it myself to confirm that he is a “bust”

81 percent of James Conner's rushing yards against the Falcons came with 8-men in the box. @TheAthleticPGH

I thought for sure Barkley McGahee'd his knee on Sunday. He walked off on his own, but def locked his knee when landing from a jump into the endzone.

I hear a lot of chatter on Barkley being the next "Enis" or "Ki-Jana Carter." It's unfortunate

[LITT]

i think thats a little unfair as eli manning sucks

I'm inclined to think that these numbers from Barkley are a stark contrast to whatever the Giants had last year at RB. But I'm not interested in confirming.

[Nittany Ned]

Lol, Barkley will be fine. OBJ is another loud mouth diva though.

See, the thing about Barkley is that he sucks.

[shafnutz05]

I think the fact that Barkley has put up those numbers on *that* team speaks volumes about his talent. Their leading rusher last year was Orleans freaking Darkwa, who put up 751 yards and 5 TDs (4.4 ypc).

[tifosi77]

'Forced missed tackles' is a misleading stat, because it can mean a runner if facing first contact in the backfield. But either way, that's a good problem to have.

In a way, it's similar to that Shazier stat that came out a few years ago. He was among the league leaders in missed tackles, but breaking the numbers down revealed that he was getting to runners so quickly that he was initiating contact in a low-percentage situation, but it was blowing up plays early in the down. So even though he wasn't getting tackles, he was influencing the outcome.

and yet barkley can't match "Orleans freaking Darkwa" in ypc smdh

You know who didn't put up 4.4 ypc last year?

ulf, hello. More and more people are talking about this:

https://www.theringer.com/2018/10/10/17 ... li-manning

Barkley ranks 15th in the league in rushing yards per game (61.6), just behind the undrafted Phillip Lindsay of Denver. But that figure hides how inefficient Barkley is on a per-game basis: As Vincent Verhei of Football Outsiders wrote this week, Barkley’s rushing yardage overwhelmingly comes from breakaway runs for long gains, but he barely gets any yardage on the majority of his carries. That dichotomy was exemplified Sunday, when Barkley earned 50 yards on two carries and negative-2 yards on his other 13.

Is Barkley a poor man's Willie Parker, only with a bad attitude? I do not think so, but the questions are mounting from folks. I need to look at who drew it, though.

[shafnutz05]

It sucks that Barkley didn't drop to four, because I actually think he could have found a lot of success in Cleveland's offense.

[Troy Loney]

He's probably more Reggie Bush than Willie Parker.
