Yeah, she looked like peak Naomi. I'm rooting for her, in no small part bc she had her first kid a few months before I did and I love that her daughter is now old enough to see her crushing it out there 🥹

Last season, Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley was a pleasant surprise. The Packers were spinning safeties and dropping defensive linemen and pulling pressure out of thin air. Now, he has Micah Parsons. I wrote about how he’s gonna use him. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Late last night, I wrote about the stunning Micah Parsons trade, why Jerry Jones's logic doesn't hold up under scrutiny, how Parsons just became the (implied) highest-paid player at any position in football, and how the trade will change both teams www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Mina Kimes (@minakimes.bsky.social)
Quick thought on the Parsons trade: This upgrades a defense that was already quietly very good last year. Packers are now in the top tier of the NFL.
Mina Kimes (@minakimes.bsky.social)
Micah Parsons to the Packers instantly makes them Super Bowl contenders. I don't care what they gave up: It was worth it.
Mina Kimes (@minakimes.bsky.social)
Micah Parsons trade story feels like the penultimate episode of a TV show where the writers put the main characters in peril before ultimately saving them in the finale, right?

The Cowboys defense wasn't just bad in the red zone last year...it was HISTORICALLY bad. On the pod, @billbarnwell.com and I discussed why that's actually a good thing for the 2025 team, given how unlikely it is to repeat. 🎧: apple.co/3JshlBh 📺: youtu.be/JC9Bfeb-GZA?...

(On the flip side it’s a slight overpay but I also see why Minnesota did it, given Addison’s absence and the importance of McCarthy’s development)
Mina Kimes (@minakimes.bsky.social)
This is a decent return but I’m a little surprised Carolina did this, given how much they’ve got riding on Bryce’s development this year

Pacheco getting some of his burst back this year would be a big deal for a Chiefs offense that ranked dead last in 10 yd+ runs last season
