  1. Brian Cornelius Schottenheimer Nepo baby coach for several years I maintained that the bears got a lot more national grief than Dallas despite basically being the same organization since the 2000s. The comparison was very close, but Jerry Jones doing a better job exploiting revenue streams gave him more credit as an owner. The comp basically ceased to work in 2020s but maybe the gap will narrow again over the next couple seasons
  2. From Mark Lazarus: Blackhawks sign AJ Spellacy, a third rounder in 2024, to a three-year entry-level contract ($975,000 cap hit). Spellacy had a dynamite training camp and could be a nice piece of the puzzle in the not-too-distant future.
  3. Trent Baalke has been canned after jags realized nobody wanted to work with him
  4. That wasn’t “some contact” the defender was grabbing him for ten yards. Good defenders don’t have to do that
  5. It’s not even a new world. There have always been running backs worthy of top ten picks. RB has a pecking order and top line guys do make a difference and are worth investment. The problem was people used to take the 3rd or 4th best RB in the first round as well. You can plug and play most RB but you cannot replicate excellence at the position. A weapon is a weapon
  6. What’s the deal with an nfl head coach dressing like Jerry Seinfeld 30 years ago?
  7. The thing about Daboll is Daniel Jones was never a guy they should have invested in. No idea why he got that contract.
  8. Good enough to get two different head coaching jobs, neither of which worked out it makes a ton of sense that a first time HC gets a former HC as the coordinator on other side of ball than his focus
  9. Hot dog hot dog hot diggity dog
  10. Why would Stafford retirement affect the bears decision to try and get a coach?
  11. Ben Johnson’s greatest success has been with an okay veteran. There’s been suggestions he didn’t want Washington job because he preferred using a stable veteran rather than volatile young draft pick. He may not have any interest in coaching Caleb Williams. If that were true I’m not sure I’d be bummed about missing out on him. He could also prefer a situation where he can build a roster for 2 years then figure out a way to draft his own guy after he’s established a culture. Never underestimate the ego of a nfl head coach. They generally don’t like using others peoples players
  12. He chose to overpay Davis instead of keeping daniels, so it was hardly an investment. It was a bad swap. He thought he knew what made great linemen and was wrong. He’s not good at this job
  13. Seriously Ben Johnson could be amazing with a real QB
  14. Jared Goff is not a franchise QB
  15. Cubs traded for Tucker
  16. I think being the only team reported (that I know of) to have requested an interview with McCarthy while he was still under exclusive rights with Cowboys was a big tell. Why even request that one week before he would or would not be available without asking if not to send a message?
  17. Here is an objective response to that question
  18. I was extremely excited for the first 30 seconds of that video love the powder blue look. Once they actually displayed the full thing with the egregiously large Nike logo and goofy looking cub logo, not a fan.
  19. And maybe cash and jobs while we’re at it
  20. Mr Belvedere is waiting for him in heaven, where it is virtually impossible to sit on your own balls
  21. I didn’t say they wouldn’t take the job, I was pushing back at the idea that it’s more fun.
  22. There’s no way being a head coach is more fun than being an assistant. Head coaches have so many more obligations for their time than any assistant or coordinator. I think a huge number of these guys realize they aren’t head coach material. A few eventually get the job once and fail but ultimately settle into career coordinator types. I bet Vic Fangio is having more fun as eagles DC than he did as Denver HC. You get your bag from the one HC job and take a beating in reputation and get back to what you are good at, like Steve Spagnuolo, probably making more as a coordinator than he did as HC long ago.
  23. Blackhawks made a seemingly meaningless trade, defensemen Isaak Philllips for defensemen Dmitry Kuzmin. Chicago gets the slightly younger player who was drafted two rounds earlier (3 v 4) and one year later. Kuzmin is a buddy of first round pick Levahunov, who was bench this past week for missing a team meeting.
  24. Resigning your own guy is very different than signing another teams guy
