I've read the piece in The Athletic.

As a Bears fan, I know there are worse situations. This is one of them.
Also read this morning that as a part of the Wilson trade, they actually chose to keep a worse draft pick, if you could even believe it. Denver requested 257, but the Jets decided they wanted to keep that, so they sent them 256 (I guess they had both). Reasoning? They wanted the publicity of drafting "Mr. Irrelevant."

Guess what happened? Denver still has the guard they drafted at 256, NYJ 257 safety out of Bama didn't even make their practice squad.

Reading it reminded me of the Rosenthal piece on Jerry Reinsdorf.

Asshole billionaires thinking they know everything. It's absolutely comical.

Surprised that they’re playing this Saturday with the CFP on. 🤷‍♂️

I doubt The Shield really cares.

They're putting Steelers-Ravens and Texans vs Mahomes/Kelce/Swift up against SMU-PSU and Texas-Clemson. I'll be curious to see what the ratings look like. Not to mention where the gambling money will go.

John Brice on the II podcast has been saying for over a month that the Playoff committee wanted ND Friday or Saturday night and that the midday Saturday games would be the smaller draw teams. Everyone knows not to compete with the NFL

Watching the Colts today, Q was an absolute beast. Taylor ran for over 200 and the team went for around 320 a new team record. They mentioned that Q is the highest graded interior lineman in the league.

Good to hear. He was injured a bit a year or two ago, people were trying to say he was no longer elite. Fuck those people.

I remember when his wife passed away in 2009. It was sudden.

The fiancée is younger than his kids.

Mayo out in New England

Pederson out on Jacksonville.
Mayo was a scapegoat all season. That team is BAD! This is the type of firing that happens in professional sports all the time that infuriates me. When a roster looks like THAT, and they perform to… well as good (bad)as the roster is, why is it the coach’s fault? Super annoying to me.

Jax keeping their GM which probably hurts their chances of getting a top tier coach

The New York Giants will retain coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, team co-owner John Mara announced Monday.

I look at Trent Baalke and I'm trying to figure out what he's done without Jim Harbaugh.

Nothing.

He really should not have a job in the NFL any longer.

Crazy these NFL games are all blowouts so far. Usually a CFB only thing

Anyone watching the Packers - Eagles game? I haven't watched a single NFL game but we're all sick and I put it on.

How was that kickoff not helmet to helmet contact? And how was it not overturned the Packers had possession on the ground before the scrum?

I'm not a fan of either team I just thought it was clear he got both hands on the ball, in his possession before it kept getting ripped on.

I’m right there with you! Was gonna post the same, thanks for beating me to it😉! Plus, the broadcast only looked at that good angle once.

I didn’t get to see that but Love for Green Bay has not had a very good game.
