I just checked. This is the Year of the ThunderCat on the Chinese calendar. Bodes well for the Foxboro 53. Or maybe it’s just RK who’ll get lucky. Either way there’s a happy ending.
If the on-field product doesn’t improve in Foxboro this season then the ‘stadium experience’ distractions will get more desperate and tacky. Expect to see the End Zone Militia firing knock-off uni capsules into the crowd from a replica cannon at halftime.
Just once I’d like to see a team draft room where a scout turns over a table when their pick is handed in. I want to interview that guy. Not necessarily hire him, but yeah, I’ll buy his breakfast at Denny’s. The world has enough yes-men, backslappers, and sycophants.
Message to BB haters: As George Carlin used to say, “just ‘cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town”.
How far away are we from the day that a franchise will put ego aside and incorporate AI in their draft process? Or just acknowledge that the draft is a crapshoot and turn the picks over to the chimp at the zoo or Aunt Peggy who’d choose based on the tux he wore to his HS prom.
When the Oakland A’s move to Las Vegas in 3 years it will complete a stretch of 3 pro teams establishing there in 10 years (NHL, NFL, and MLB), where before the city had none. Unprecedented and unlikely to ever be matched again.
More incredible, there still is no plaque, signpost, or statue of Moe Greene in that city.
I’m all about bloodlines on draft day. Sure, I’ll look at your tape, but be sure to send me a DNA swab too. Or a 23andme report.
Your OL is your crumple zones, air bags, and anti-lock brakes;
your change of pace RB is your CVT transmission; your X, Y, and Z - we’ve covered SHO ad nauseam. Your QB is your engine. If you don’t have your QB, you may as well put the rest on cinder blocks, ‘cause you’re not going anywhere.
I’m still waiting for the draft day when a 1st-rounder is ready for the cringeworthy Goodell bear hug and doesn’t let go until he hears the crack. Metaphor becomes reality - a slithering invertebrate. Too harsh?
I’m told the holdup on the Swift-Kelce wedding is with the prenup. Kelce’s side wants more in the ‘cash due at signing’ clause.

Vinny Gambini: It's a procedure. Like rebuilding a carburetor has a procedure. You know, when you rebuild a carburetor, the first thing you do is you take the carburetor off the manifold? Supposing you skip the first step, and while you're replacing one of the jets, you accidentally drop the jet, it goes down the carburetor, rolls along the manifold, and goes into the head. You're f***ed. You just learned the hard way that you gotta remove the carburetor first, right? So that's all that happened to me today. I learned the hard way. Actually, it was a good learning experience for me. |

with upgrades thru the draft at OT and WR, as well as at OC, can Brissett be a good QB? |

Foles/Wentz, Flacco, Brad Johnson, Dilfer, Hostetler, Mark Rypien, Doug Williams, Jim McMahon, Eli Manning (twice), Jim Plunkett, Peyton Manning with a broken neck or Joe Theisman... can Brissett be as good as these guys is the question and can his team be as good as theirs was... if so, he can win a ring at QB.

They need a LT and can spend as many picks as they want on weapons, they can spend their league leading cap space and sign some more. They don’t have a lot of needs, even if you keep pretending they do. They only have the offense to fix, one phase, a few contributors. |
