The only thing he tweets are quotes from the bible, sponsor related stuff and the occasional reply to somebody wearing his jersey. Alshon seems to be the same way. Alshon almost exclusively tweets the same thing over and over. "Good morning. God bless everyone". Then he talks about South Carolina football. I never stumbled on him before but just noticed and that is hilarious.

Forgot to add that the QB's wife is already a reality TV veteran.

Trestman is a pretty interesting guy, at least unique among the coaching community. Then you have a very famous QB who is easily cast as a villain and has his every facial expression critiqued regularly. You have the super religious pro bowl RB who has probably been owned in fantasy by just about everybody who has played the game by now. You have a mentally disturbed star WR, an emerging star WR, a crazy TE, Howie Long's son and what is going to be massive turnover on defense. Emery and Trestman alone could make for all sorts of weird clips with their strange speaking styles. Trestman is not what the average viewer expects out of an NFL head coach. You're not going to get any bravado or tough guy stuff from him. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it. It's not me that needs to be convinced though. I don't think the average viewer is going to be very interested in Trestman and I think that hurts the chances of the Bears being selected. Who cares what viewers expect? If you bother watching this show with regularity, you aren't going to tune out because the coach of the team isn't brash. Trestman is interesting and unique though. And you would have to be bad at making this show if you couldn't get compelling bits out of him.

we all aren't

My answer to that question is yes, it would have been wise to try and do more to make the 2014 roster better.
-
Not to mention they were all voted in unanimously. By a completely different group of people (16 total).

I thought the issue was he wasn't playing at Roma.
-
He wasn't nearly as good as McGuire.

NFL coaching carousel/NFL Offseason thread
jersey cubs fan replied to dew1679666265's topic in Other Sports
He's probably a pretty good line coach. It was a much bigger mistake to think you can coach up second rate linemen then it was to hire him to be the coach in the first place. A position coach is going to hold sway over depth at his position, but it's not like Tice chose his guys over much better options. They were all garbage. Although it is disturbing that he had 2 first rounders completely bottom out under his watch. -

Maybe there isn't, we as fans don't have that data, if it exists reliably at all. My assumption is that fly balls with high trajectories would have the potential for fooling a raw ball speed number, but maybe the range of ball speeds is low enough that there's even more situations where it isn't great at determining how often a player truly squares up pitches. Shouldn't/couldn't that just be recorded as a fly out and come out in the numbers anyway?

I don't follow you. Insight has nothing to do with measurement. What you seem to be validating is simply part of the reification fallacy that is so common in baseball (e.g.,WAR). Batted ball speed won't be truly indicative of a well hit ball in all cases, just like subjective determinations of "well hit" will have a margin for error in determining the frequency of how well people are truly squaring the ball up. If I have to have one, I'd rather have speed off the bat, but having both is better for being confident in that information. Since as fans all we can get is what's given to us, I'll take WHAV even though it's not a perfect indicator. What kind of situation would involve a lower batted ball speed but a human being describing it as well hit and having that subjective description be more accurate?

Pretty strange to look up and see that Bo Wallace will be the most seasoned QB in the SEC next year. On a side note, Wallace broke Eli Manning's Ole Miss record this year with 3,701 yards. And yes, Franklin is a terrific hire for Penn St. I'm glad he is leaving the conference. Great coach. How could it possibly be strange to see a returning 2-year starter is going to be the most seasoned QB in his college conference?

http://deadspin.com/greg-maddux-will-not-be-a-unanimous-hall-of-famer-1496300490 I was driving on Saturday just prior to the start of the first NFL games (and coincidentally on this highway 10 minutes before this happened) http://cdnl.complex.com/m.php/CHANNEL_IMAGES/CITY_GUIDE/2014/01/majordeegan.jpg Everybody in the car was asleep and I was scanning the sports channels to listen to the start of the game when I stumbled upon this conversation: Caller - "I just wanted to discuss what you were saying about the Hall of Fame earlier." Host - "What about it?" Caller - "How can you say Maddux does not belong in the Hall.." Host- "Wait, I didn't say he isn't a Hall of Famer, what I said was he's not a first ballot Hall of Famer. There is a difference." And that is just another example why everything about all Hall of Fame discussions is stupid.

Do you have a counterargument or are you just going to say that good players play everyday or something regardless of whether there may be a better option on a given day? Mentalities like that lead to there being market inefficiencies. No, you went in a completely different direction from what I was talking about and didn't feel like going down the rabbit hole with you.

That is not a meaningful statement.
