IF YOU GUYS DON'T WANT TO START DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE SURE THIS SEASON HAPPENS, YOU CAN GET OFF THE GODDAMN FIELD RIGHT NOW.

• Addendum to the Score Report:  ESPN confirms.  It's a record scoring pace for per game for four weeks.  Record was in 2018 at 48.095 for 63 games (3030 points).  2020?  51.317 (over a field goal a game more, total of 3233 points (203 more than the previous record)).  Not only is offensive holding way down, but, over the average of the last 20 seasons before it, defensive pass interference penalties for the first four weeks are UP from an average of almost 76 to 93 this year!

• And the San Diego pitching has a no-hitter on the Dodgers through five -- except, for some odd reason, the Dodgers have a run on the board and had two on with two out in the fifth.  The game is 1-1 entering the sixth.
