To me Carvey was always a bit of a one trick pony. Over the top voice, goofy facial expression, wig. Rinse and repeat. It worked sure but just never blew me away. Spade's comedic timing and even recent stand up specials are genuinely good. Just brought more to the table than he got credit for IMO, partially because he was surrounded by legends like Chris Rock, Chris Farley, Norm McDonald etc.

Over the top is a good way of putting Carvey. One of those guys who feels the need to speak louder if he doesn't get the reaction he wants. My least favorite kind of comedian. I didn't like Spade as much as a kid but the older I get the more his sarcasm just hits the right way. He's even been decent in his rolls with Sandler.

In case you guys were wondering, yes, we_gotta_believe is always like this.  But he's also only 5'4" so he has to overcompensate somewhere.  

You and hpenis should invite him over for one of your special movie nights

I think with a more competitive schedule that the passing volume will increase. I’m excited, I think Hurts can keep being pretty efficient. Not at the pace of last season and I do think he will turn the ball over more, but lots to look forward to! 

Welcome to the Blog Graham.  It is always nice to have another smiling face join us.

Neither Carvey or Spade is particularly funny.  If I had to choose it would definitely be Spade.  Carvey has little to no talent at all, and neither does Mike Meyers.  Phil Hartman, Norm MacDonald, Jon Lovitz and Chris Farley carried SNL for that era.  Sandler and Rob Schneider are only funny in very small doses.  Kevin Nealon was mildly amusing.

Norm's Weekend Update was the best

Agree with pretty much everything else you said though. Lovitz is another guy who doesn't get enough love for his time there, although he was just before the McDonald, Farley, Rock, Spade era (early 90s). 

If Isaiah Rodgers actually bet on a Colts game (supposedly O/U on rushing yards), he's getting off waaaaay easy with a season long suspension.

Miles Sanders: 'Almost every running back is underpaid right now

The devaluation of the running back position has been under the microscope this offseason, with high-profile pigskin-toters getting released and few lucrative deals handed out in free agency.

Miles Sanders' four-year, $25.4 million contract with the Carolina Panthers represents the top multi-year contract signed thus far this offseason. Sanders received $13 million guaranteed, but the $6.35 million average per year is far less than in past years.

Sanders joined the chorus of backs decrying the diminishing running back market Wednesday on The Rich Eisen Show, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

"It's nothing that we're doing wrong," Sanders said. "We're doing everything that we have to do as far as on the field and stuff like that. For people and GMs or owners to think that running backs are not as valued as much is a lie because you've got to see how everything plays out. You've got to see what guys like Christian McCaffrey, the stuff he does, things that Saquon Barkley (does), the things that Josh Jacobs (does) consistently each year. ...

"You want to franchise tag and create a certain market for running backs just because you have this way of thinking that they only last three or four years. I think it's B.S., honestly. Almost every running back is underpaid right now. I don't know what it's gonna take. That's a topic that needs to be brought up a little more because it sucks to be a running back right now, honestly."

Sanders noted that the franchise tag situation essentially capped his market.

"Just to really try to get a deal done because I know that the numbers were dropping literally daily as soon as free agency started," he said when asked about inking his deal early in the process. "Once they made the market $10 million, it was very hard to even negotiate anything even more than that or get like a deal that everybody's been dreaming of -- the Christian McCaffrey deal, the Alvin Kamara deal. It is what it is. It makes me hungrier. I'm a still go and do what I do each year and hopefully earn, force a new contract."

Sanders projects as the Panthers' top back alongside Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear in Carolina after a career year in Philadelphia, earning 1,269 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns en route to his first Pro Bowl.

The issue for Sanders and all other running backs is that the supply outweighs demand in a pass-happy NFL. That won't stop RBs from clamoring to be compensated better than the current market.

"It's definitely something that needs to be fixed," Sanders said, "because there's too much talent out there being underpaid as far as in the running back position."

Arguably RB's should be exempted from the rookie salary cap.

Don't worry, Miles.  The next CBA in 2030 will address all of your gripes.  Here are a few other options:

-- Learn how to catch and make a position switch to WR

-- Become a more interesting person and get some endorsement deals

It's technically indefinite since he has to apply for re-entry so it will be interesting to see what happens there. He also just got cut.

Running backs are so very replaceable.  Easily replaced means that you won't get paid well.  Sorry, Miles.

In the next CBA RB's should try to push the NFLPA on the issue.  Really, a 3 year limit on rookie deals would help the issue.

He's not getting a starting position when he hasn't played in years and is 35 years old. That's just not happening

Surprised he hasn't been offered a 3rd string position unless he's not accepting those. I'd doubt he'd get offered a 2nd string position
