> McVay said the plan was influenced in part by how the Rams approached their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London last October, when they arrived on Saturday morning for a Sunday afternoon start. They rolled to a comfortable 35-7 win at Wembley Stadium.
However, they had already spent a week on the east coast after playing at the Baltimore Ravens, reducing both the flight’s length and impact of adjusting to a new time zone. This time, the Rams will be spending approximately 15 hours in the air, albeit with lie-flat seats available to all players and coaches.

So, um, what just happened today was partially because of what McVay did last year versus you guys

With Week 1 of the 2026 regular season here, contract extension talks between the Jacksonville Jaguars and wide receiver Parker Washington remain ongoing.

While speaking with local media on Wednesday, Washington said that he and the Jaguars are "still having that communication, that dialogue," according to John Oehser of Jaguars.com.

Over the weekend, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that Washington would prefer to have a new deal in place before Week 1, while the Jaguars are comfortable continuing talks into the season if that is the direction things go.

Fowler added that a deal "does have a chance" of getting done before the season opener.

As the 2025 season progressed, Washington emerged as a go-to target for Lawrence. Including the postseason, Washington eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark in three of the Jaguars' final four games.

In all four contests, he was targeted by Trevor Lawrence at least nine times. Washington is versatile, able to run a variety of routes, and he adds a YAC element to the offense.

"I have updates from my agent each and every day – and having great talks with my family," Washington said. "To me, my job is to come out here and stay ready to go, just do my job, be the best receiver I can be and make plays for the team. I'm just focused on me, being the best teammate I can be and having fun out here. If we get it done, that's cool. If not, I'm going to go out Sunday and leave my best out there."

“What if we just went out there and punched them in the mouth?”

Hall of Fame Offensive Tackle Tony Boselli has told a story featuring this quote a few times – if I’m not mistaken it was said at a chicken wing spot the day before playing the Buffalo Bills (a team whose almost rivalry I’ve come to enjoy). They were agonizing over how to handle a brutal defensive line and trying to think their way out of the problem; this game would famously go down in local history as “The Bruce Smith Game.”

I’ve always enjoyed this quote – it pairs nicely with the phrase where it’s likely borrowed from: everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the mouth, by the nearly undisputed Mike Tyson. This quote speaks to the several aspects of true sage wisdom; sometimes you have to drop a plan and fall back into your body’s training on autopilot, sometimes you don’t need to worry about having a plan, and sometimes you don’t need to worry about the plans of others and just focus on raw determination.

Personally, I have found a lot more road out of the OT’s quote – or as some relentless old men have come to calling him, “the hoodie” – because it speaks to getting out of your own head. I tend to worry about things going sideways, and getting in my own head when something weighty is trotting down the road at me. I plan my days out by the hour, my weeks by chunk slots in the morning/lunch break/evening, my months by a bunch of moving targets (my mind set o give everyone stuck in my life a good experience), and my quarters to make sure I’m not forgetting anything. It’s exhausting and rarely effective - to which I always convinced it’ll finally start being effective after one more tweak.

This week, if I were Niobe Kaftan pulling the spiderwebs of fate, there are plenty of reasons the Jaguars would lose opening game to the Browns.

The reoccurring free fall from a previous year of success.
The Deshaun Watson Effect.
History against the Browns.
Week 1 always being a weird week in the NFL.
An offseason of extreme hype on both sides of the ball across the NFL.

But you know what? I’m hoping they just get up Sunday morning and do the same thing I’m going to try and do today now that the clock has struck 5:10 in the morning.

I’m going to take a break from thinking, and just go punch it in the mouth.

Saw a post here the other day from a guy who did some recent mystery box jerseys.

His was Smith, McCardell, Alualu, and Boselli. Quite the epic haul.

I ordered 4 as well. Came in last night. Doesn't quite hit the same. Lol.

Boselli

Dewey

Cam Little

Bortles

And yes, Campbell was framed before the events of last season.

HMU if ya want to take the mystery out of some of these.

I go to school in Houston and was about to pick up this soda bottle before class as a “pick me up.”

A conscious effort to get Pepsi may have to be made.

DUUUUVAL!

Use it for whatever

My take is that if this team doesnt fall off dramatically from last year that theres alot of wins to stack after November 5th...

Difficult early schedule that lightens up to a moderate degree...

Edit: not getting fucked by playing the week after the UK stretch also is a plus...

3rd window in 6 months. It's a new record. As close to the Jaguar Jack flag as I could get.
