That story about the Browns coach having to report to the owner and analytic team on Friday is weird. I feel like something is missing or DePodesta doesn’t understand football. Having the coaching staff meet with the analytic team on Monday would make sense. Give suggestions on how to attack and defend the upcoming opponent. Install game plan d…[Read more]

People screaming about the worst home loss ever or whatnot from Sunday must have forgotten that Eagles game 4 years ago that cost them the 1 seed. ’02 they had those losses to Green Bay and maybe Denver that one could say cost them the playoffs. ’08 had a tough loss to the Jets in OT that would have won them the division had the…

That’s the problem with having Herbstreit calling this game. That was as clear of a targeting call you’ll ever see – yet nothing from OSU grad Herbstreit. Good riddance to that player.

I thought that Young’s play was the really dirty one. He’s always looking for the camera. Easier than most on OSU to dislike.

I wonder if the kicker from Memphis will come out early. 6-6 on field goals today. 48, 37, 44, 51, 41, 42

Or you know since Coughlin is 73, he could just go away. I certainly won’t miss him. Have to believe the only ones that will are sportswriters who he talked to regularly.

I didn’t watch any games on Sunday so I’m just getting caught up and can’t believe the league intervened on the coin flip in Dallas. Prescott said “we’ll play defense and kick that way,” he only said ‘defer’ until afterward. No way they intervene if that game isn’t the prime Fox game or if the Patriots are involved. The fir…

As we move into the 20s soon, I don’t know what’s worse: People still value Bill Simmons opinion on sports or that people still find him funny. I stopped thinking that in the 00s.  Everybody forgets this.

Guy spends 16 years as a local ambassador for Best Buddies, moves to a new role while allowing new people to become involved in the program. He should be lauded for his work. Instead it’s more evidence he’s leaving, not a good look, etc. what a cesspool.

The Lions are going to be in a tough spot with Patrica. The record isn’t there but each loss has been by one score, so they are competitive. I would bring him back for another year and see if things turn around record wise. I think they will.  He’ll likely get fired, though and the Lions will continue to spin their wheels.

I’m at least enjoying Son of Bum’s defense get picked apart while McVay’s star fades as his face is jammed in the play sheet.

If you’re the Bengals do you take a guy like Joe Burrow from LSU at #1? Justin Herbert? You’d be smarter to take a guy like Chase Young or that tackle from Georgia – Thomas I think – because you colossally blow everywhere but I’d shocked if they didn’t go QB. I can’t see Tua going #1 but will have to see what it looks like with his…

I was looking at the Pats schedule. Browns, Ravens and Eagles all get byes before playing New England. Houston gets some extra rest with a Thursday game. I’m too lazy to look up other teams but that wrinkle seems high compared what would be seen across the league.

Count me as surprised that Brian is familiar with White Rabbit.

On a different topic than the Patriots Monday night win and Sanu, I came across an interview yesterday with former defensive back Donte Whitner on a NBC Sports affiliate in DC. The main topic of the clip was Whitner criticizing former Redskins coach Jay Gruden and his staff. What stood out to me, though, was one host was wearing a…

Even that had a tinge of exigency over erudition.

how did an editor allow that sentence.

Reading those clips take about having it both ways. The Pats only bring in retreads (which is something they’ve always done). Oh they spent a high pick, well, that really doesn’t count.

Just awful. I wonder if BHolmes left the name of the person tha…[Read more]

Second bullet

The Cowboys and Rams are both 3-3, and I’ll tell you which one to worry about.

“I’ll tell you…”

No instant knee jerk call here. Years of professional bullshitting has set me up perfectly for this moment.

Wasn’t that the second time Roethlisberger got in trouble for an illegal thing on the sidelines. He misses so many games, you’d think he’d know the rules.

Glanced over that Reilly schtick, I suppose every generation rants about how great things used to be but christ these people can’t ever get better at anything. Not that Reilly was ever any good mind you, but Pete and others still talk about how important newspapers are and no, they aren’t. There’s better technology and mediums to ge…

How’s the kickball team doing? Will they be cutting costs as well?

Just got fined £200,000 for fielding an illegal player in a cup match. Raise ticket prices.
