This was written after I went to happy hour. Proceed with caution.

​Here's what I care about today, maybe -

Andrew Luck may or may not be throwing things.

The mystery of Andrew Luck continues. After having surgery on his throwing shoulder, the Indianapolis Colts quarterback is strengthening said shoulder by throwing heavy things. Why not just throw footballs like normal people? 

Andrew Luck isn’t throwing football yet, but I’m told he’s throwing weighted balls heavier than footballs. More good news below □□ https://t.co/UvgvW46vOG

​I'm so confused. 

​

Crockett Gilmore is gonna be an offensive lineman.

Permanently injured tight end Crockett Gilmore is apparently planning to transition to offensive lineman.

Interesting news on one of the Ravens pending FAs: Crockett Gillmore is making the transition to a new position. Previously a tight end, Gillmore is moving to the offensive line. He's been training w/former NFL player LeCharles Bentley who runs a highly-respected OL Academy.

This is bananaland for two reasons. 

• After being listed at 266 by the Ravens last summer before his annual injury, he's apparently now up to 305 pounds. He's probably just getting fat after sitting around and being injured nonstop and is like 'yeah I'm gonna be an offensive lineman now.'
• Gilmore has shown he can be a great blocking tight end when he's not on IR. Offensive lineman are relied upon for their consistency and that's something he hasn't been able to stand behind. 

The Ravens' tight end situation is abysmal. And that's me saying that knowing Dennis Pitta won't break his hip this year.

incredible revelation -

Yo people without glasses really just out here seeing for free.
