Beltre apparently is getting either a 6 year deal or a 5 year deal with an option from the Rangers. If this was posted elsewhere and I missed it, my apologies.
-
It's looking more like John Fox or Marty Mornhiweg, which may not be an upgrade, but their philosophies will mesh more with Holmgren's.
-
Just purely going off memory and not looking it up (so I very well may be wrong), they started red hot with Brunell, but then began to slide after the shellacking they took from the Titans in the AFC championship game in 99. Brunell started getting old after that and they began to drop off. The decline may have been later, but that's the latest I remember them being a legitimately good team.
-
Definitely an oddity. You have a connection to Jacksonville, or just fall for them when they entered the league?
-
Excellent point. I actually like Del Rio staying. With him, I think their ceiling is decent team that's no threat to crack the top two consistently (Indy/Ten).
-
They're like the team that the world forgot or something. It's like they play in the league, they actually win a fair number of games. Everyone tries their best to ignore them. They need to move to a relevant market. They don't have any tradition (other than entering the league with a bang) since they haven't been around that long and for the past decade they've been mediocre. AFC South fans definitely think about them, but they really are pretty forgotten elsewhere.

Since everybody's waiting with bated breath – this from Mortensen:

La Canfora: Press conference scheduled for 4:15 CST today.
-
I find this really funny. It's really strange that everything originates from Houston still, but it doesn't because Bud doesn't want to move to Nashville.
-
Jim Wyatt:
-
Schefter: Rooney rule or serious interviews?
-
More from La Canfora: "They're" (ouch) refers to the 49ers.
-
Holmgren might be thinking that Fox helped build the Panthers up before they fell apart, so his hope is that Fox will help turn Cleveland into a solid team and then he turns the reins over to a younger coach. Just speculation on my part, but it's the only thing that makes sense about hiring Fox, I think.
-
Schefter's saying it'll be San Fran or Michigan for Harbaugh.

They also gave up Lorenzo Cain, who looks to be an MLB ready centerfielder with a good bat. The problem for the Brewers is, all of those players, even if they aren't great individually, represent cheap, good production that is now gone. Instead of a cheap, light hitting, great defensive SS, they have an expensive, light hitting, poor fielding SS. If they don't have any other SS ready in the next couple of years, then they'll have to fill SS through free agency, which is more money taken from other areas. It's the same with all the other areas. Plus, I'm also taking into account the Marcum/Lawrie trade, which made no sense. I understand why they made the moves, I just don't see them being close enough for them to make sense. If you're right on the edge of deep playoff contention, fine. But a team that even with Greinke and Marcum is no sure thing to make the postseason and has limited financial resources (needing as much young talent as they can get), it just doesn't make sense.
-
I've been hearing that Al Davis doesn't like him for some odd reason, so that's got to be it. I think it may have something to do with Cable supposedly not liking Hue Jackson.
-
They've been playing pretty well all season, they just haven't been winning. It's evening out now a bit.
-
That's kind of surprising. And really bad. I don't know that Cable is a great coach, but they've been getting much better since he's been there. He should stay on.
-
For what it's worth (and for whoever cares), a message board guy who claims to have an "inside source" with the Titans says a press conference will be held Tuesday at which Fisher will resign. Another guy with sources backed him up. It's message board stuff so who knows, but if they're right, it wouldn't shock me.
-
I didn't really think he would, but was hoping it'd be possible if he fell in love with the idea of a big name hire like Fisher. It was mainly me coming up with ways that the Titans wouldn't have to continue to pay Fisher if he didn't resign. That'd be really interesting. Consultant for the staff, personnel or both?
-
I was really hoping Jerry Jones would fall in love with Fisher enough to enable Bud Adams to trade Fisher to the Cowboys. I think Fisher's gone after the year anyway, so it would have been nice to have another crazy owner willing to give us a pick for him so that Bud wouldn't have to absorb Fisher's 2011 salary.
-
I hope the Colts/Caldwell are smart enough to be prepared for the surfeit of trick plays and such that Fisher is likely to throw at them today. Wish I could I had faith in them being smart enough. That said, I expect the Colts to win. I'll be absolutely stunned if we don't see at least an onside kick by the Titans today and maybe a fake punt as well.
