They loved Theo's though. Theo said stuff and articulated pretty clearly what the plan would be to make this team better. He left any listener with a sense of hope for the team. Emery said nothing and left people with nothing but the need to hope he won't be a complete bust.

I figured they would be all over this guy. He's an easy target. He just kept saying bland nonsense about processes and leadership and holding accountable and blahblahblah. He didn't say a damn thing about the team, and I think that will continue as he most closely associated himself with Pioli, who comes from the Belichik school of don't say anything but BS. If it works, great, but get ready for a hell of a lot of non-answer answers.

that's not weird, that's worrisome. despite all evidence to the contrary, he's still paying lip service towards balance. the most successful teams, including the 2 in the super bowl, have consistently used the run to catch teams off guard, to the tune of around 60/40. we need to pass to keep up, and we have the guy to do it. I meant how he phrased it. This guy is all about the blowhard coach speak nonsense that is typical in football. He's a total Jim Hendry in that regard but with more discipline. Thankfully that sort of thing can work in the NFL. This guy doesn't give me any faith though.

Emery is putting his faith in Lovie's decision making with regard to coaching staff, at least for now.
-
weird response to the "what's your offensive philosophy" question. His philosophy is to score points. He also said he sees the league trend as toward balance. That's nonsense, of course, as the trend for winning teams is all about the passing game. The teams that gain yards, score points and win, do it through the air.

I don't see how they can get one of their GM candidates that got eliminated in the 1st round of interviews to make a lateral move from the Giants to Bears. wouldn't director of player personnel be a promotion from director of college scouting? Emery is going to hire a director of college scouting and a director of pro scouting.

Phil speaking highly of the team's core of playmaking players, as well as the scouts already on staff. Says they will add to that staff.

phil's gawky boy scoutness shining through early on
-
ted speaking highly of Phil's leadership ability, decision making prowess and wealth of experience

press conference about to begin, many fat men milling about in front of podium at the moment

I remain highly skeptical of the intense boy scout story all of the writers are praising today, but I do find the Ruskell firing interesting. Given their history, I would have thought at the bare minimum he'd let him work out the rest of the contract. Emery strikes me as the type of guy many of his peers might be annoyed at behind his back. I wonder how many will want to come work for him. He's got two directors to hire and I assume he does it soon.

I really like Kane and have no interest in pushing him out the door, but if his marketability increases his trade value it is absolutely a move I'd be interested in. The Blackhawks will take a hit if he leaves, but it doesn't have to be fatal. He's not the best player on the team, at best he's 3rd. And kids/ladies probably love him. But winning is what is bringing the fans back out to the arena. If they can make a smart hockey move that allows them to keep winning without Kane, the team won't miss him from a business standpoint. But I don't think it can be something that drags on. You need to pull the trigger on a move or don't even talk about it.

Yeah, it's not glorious, but fabulous is the word everybody is searching for.

i just don't think johnson is much better, if at all. He's nothing special but he's better than Knox.
-
They've got a long way to go before you can have a lot of faith in their rankings. Football just doesn't lend itself to that sort of analysis nearly as easily as baseball does.
-
The Cleveland Browns have hired former Vikings head coach Brad Childress as their offensive coordinator, a league source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen on Friday.

Johnny just isn't a receiver, he's a runner who needs a great QB to make him look decent.
-
Forget the people, what were the rest of the words in those sentences? The Chicago Bears (probably won't have a chance to sign) Steve Johnson. he's not really the big receiver that we need. he's more of a johnny knox-type. He's as close to being a "big receiver" as he is to being a Knox type. At least he's a real receiver and not just a guy who goes out for passes.

But who really cares about hiding that? It's already out there in the public domain, he's already going to get heckled. -
All joking aside, Jay still has some developing to do and needs a capable advocate on the sideline.

Other than create slight nausea, no.

Astros moving to American League

You mean stickball? You can't find a NYer over 60 who doesn't wax poetically about playing stickball.
