Hi Folks,
We do a ton of insightful, thoughtful, and serious features here at Footballguys with smart people thinking deeply for you.
This is not one of those features.
This is Random Shots, and it's a few pages of me sharing all the random goofiness from this week. With maybe a music note and sometimes a "soap box" wrap at the end.
Here's to Football.

They were correct. Honestly good call from the haters
On a serious note, it's one game and lots of football to be played.
I love these guys.

My takeaway from the Dallas-Philadelphia game.
The Cowboys looking like a buttoned-up, well-coached team last night was my takeaway.
— Joe Bryant (@Football_Guys) September 5, 2025
I know it was just one game. And Schottenheimer may well be the idiot everyone says, and Jones the senile bafoon people think he is for picking him.
But one team last night looked well-coached… https://t.co/p8YYhrK1DS

Some things change fast.
Other things stay mostly the same.
Just a vintage George Pickens game…

1. 15 yard penalty - unsportsmanlike conduct
2. Try to make a circus catch harder than it needs to be
3. End with an underwhelming 3-30
And I’ll probably still start him next weekπ€¦βοΈ
Ok then.

I love uniforms and I love jerseys and numbers. It's always interesting when a player changes teams and how things shake out. Malachi Corley asking Davante Adams to pony up a million dollars for number 17 was wild.

This salary cap thing is hard.
As a reminder of where the Chiefs are at with wide receivers right now, 2/3 of their wide receivers are guys the Patriots decided early last season that they didn't want anymore.

As much hype as he gets, I think we might be taking Josh Allen for granted. Not only is he arguably the best player on the planet. He does a ton of super rad stuff like this.
Ahead of his Sunday night game vs. Baltimore, NFL MVP Josh Allen will wear the first of nine custom @NewEraCap hats designed by patients at Buffalo’s Oishei Children’s Hospital.

Thanks to Sigmund Bloom for that one.
The Steelers - Jets game was fun for everyone who's ever been told they weren't good enough or didn't matter. Or were rejected or passed over.
Both Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields played well against the teams that told them "Nah, we're good" last year and sent them packing. And that had to be sweet for those QBs.
