    Darnold on the Dole? How much Moolah Missed?

    While NFL teams can be impulsive when desperate, I believe they are smart enough to appreciate that O’Connell and the stacked Vikings skill position players can make almost any QB look pretty good. Cousins turning into a pumpkin so quickly is more evidence of that. Darnold did exceptionally well...

    Vrabel named HC of the NEP

    Would have much preferred Johnson, but I get concerns about a first-time HC after Mayo. Pats could have done a ton worse than Vrabel.

    How do you feel about the Pats today?

    Mayo had the lowest of low expectations and got fired anyways. The Pats had a ton of cap room this year and no one wanted to take their money. If the Pats lose 13 games again next season, which is a ton more likely than them winning 10, what makes Ben Johnson or Mike Vrabel or Brian Flores safer...

    How do you feel about the Pats today?

    Eh. The roster stinks and now they are just like every other reactionary team in a big market. Mayo looked like a bad head coach but why would a good candidate to replace him want this job? They have to figure out how to hold onto a job for a few years with one of the worst rosters in football...

    Draft Pick Watch

    I don't love the idea of drafting Hunter and I hate the idea of the Pats using him as a two-way player. The cool thing with him, though, is that if they decide to try him solely at WR and it doesn't work he can fall back to being a corner where he will almost certainly be useful and possibly...

    Hold the Mayo? Evaluating Patriots coaching.

    Mostly yes, they had cap space this year and no one would take their money. Point being, though, while Mayo may be a part of why this team is bad, the team has very little talent and would likely be bad with every HC in the NFL (though, some of them would themselves help lure talent to New...

    Hold the Mayo? Evaluating Patriots coaching.

    Can't be changing HCs and OCs every year with a young QB, a lot of franchises are stunting their QBs doing this and it's stupid. Maybe Mayo was the wrong hire but unless he is a bottom 5 HC in the league, which I don't think we'll really know until there is more talent on the roster, the Pats...

    It is TIME! 2025 NFL Coaching Carousel

    Giants job is pretty good if Daboll is canned. Well-respected owner that doesn’t meddle, Nabers, Tracy and a good defense and what’s likely to be a top pick. It is shaping up to be a very tough division, though and the market is obviously not kind to losing seasons.

    2024 Jets: Out of the Darkness - Take 2

    Yeah tough spot. I think he's made some really great picks but screwed up with Zach Wilson, hasn't fixed the OL and went all-in on Rodgers and his binkies. Maybe a lot of that is Woody.

    Which AFCE team would you rather be?

    Tua is pretty unique, lefty that throws to the middle of the field and likes structure, a lot of the NFL now is QBs that make a lot of plays out of structure and QBs that throw to the sidelines. I think because the Dolphins were negotiating an extension with Tua they didn't want to sign a backup...

    Which AFCE team would you rather be?

    I'd choose the Dolphins. Good HC, they draft well, pretty good roster with some really exciting young players. If they make it a priority to find a backup QB with a quick release that targets the middle of the field they will be better equipped to handle Tua injuries. I don't think Tyreek aging...

    That's one on one with Williams covered by a safety. Good call, bad throw.

    In Case You Missed It - 2004 Docuseries on Netflix

    I was at the fight game too in right field. Sox fans were getting into it with MFY fans and security was gradually weeding out all of them, so that by the end there were a lot fewer MFY fans than there were at the beginning. There was a yappy MFY fan near me that said "you're done" when Mo came...

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    Stanton is like the Porzingis of MLB. Should not be considered by teams that need him to make the playoffs or even teams that feel they need him to win playoff games, but for teams that are already excellent if he happens to be healthy during the playoffs he can go off and carry them for a...

    In Case You Missed It - 2004 Docuseries on Netflix

    Grady Little just seemed irritated to be asked questions they were obviously going to ask him. Good on him I guess for showing up but he didn't add a lot, I wonder if they asked him about some of the team composition stuff like the 1B/DH competition and the closer by committee attempt with Kim...

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    Stay out of the Soto nonsense. Odds are low the Sox actually land him and they are stacked with exciting young outfielders. Anthony may not be Soto but he may be a really terrific lefty outfielder with power. FO has a lot to do this offseason and can’t make all these contingencies based on...

    Richardson has so little experience playing football generally, that yes, it's a terrible decision, he needs reps as bad as practically any player in the NFL.
