It would be hard to make up a story that more efficiently cements a person as a douchebag.

Sorry to break it to you - he was a Pats assistant for about a decade total.
Do former Belichick assistants have a good track record as offensive/defensive coordinators in other places?
That’s a good question. I don’t know that I’m a good judge but it seems mixed:
Offensive:
McDaniels didn’t do well with the Rams, lasted one year.
Daboll - Great in Buffalo, he actually had 3 OC jobs in the NFL prior to this and didn’t last long in any of the others. Guys can obviously improve over time.
Chad O’Shea - he was brought in by Flores in Miami and fired after a season (maybe less). He had a great rep in New England, he was supposedly the guy that schemed up a lot of the red zone stuff.
Charlie Weis - did only a year in KC but they were decent that year it looks like.
George Godsey / Bill O’Brien - both ran the offense in Houston and I don’t think even with Deshaun Watson / Hopkins they ever had a top 10 offense.
Defensive:
Rob Ryan - He was a DC for a long time, but had one top 10 defense by points, it appears. Great GIFs, though.
Romeo Crennel - Seems so-so with both Chiefs and Houston.
Dean Pees - Has had the most success - was the Ravens DC for a long time, then with the Titans and Falcons this year. Falcons had a weird stat - only team in league history to never give up a 40+ yard touchdown. Bad overall defensive year this year, but might just be a complete lack of talent + playing in a dome.
Patrick Graham - I’ve read awesome stuff about this guy - his players love him and call him a genius - but he did one year bad year under Flores and then two under Judge for the Giants (one good one last year, bad one this year). Could again be a complete lack of talent.
Josh Boyer - Dolphins DC under Flores replacing Graham, had a couple decent defenses.
Eric Mangini - I think he did one year as a coordinator elsewhere and it went poorly.
Judging coordinators seems tough since so much of it is having good players. Like the OCs - Daboll’s got Allen now, and Bill O’Brien had Watson. The guys who stunk had awful QBs.
Has anyone ever done a study on coaches being hired and the average result? (DC vs OC vs returning coach vs college coach etc…)
we should’ve known the bookshelf wasn’t real cause I didn’t catch fake medical books by fake doctors somewhere
but like “I haven’t read the book” is a strange argument when you got the book somewhere and intentionally put it on the shelf and intentionally setup the camera to intentionally get asked the question to trigger the libs
My main issue here is Reid’s refusal to talk about it, which is his status quo.
If I were the coach, I might let him play given that there was no physical harm done or attempted to be done to anyone, but I’d at least publicly condemn his behavior, announce that he’s been warned this is his one re-do, and that he’ll be fined by the team with the fine donated to an appropriate charity and do some community service - but also the team is helping him get some anger management or whatever.
If the average person did this, there’s a pretty good chance their employer wouldn’t even find out about it. So the main issue is that we should hold athletes who are public figures, allegedly supposed to be role models, and represent a franchise and a league, to a higher standard.
I suppose there’s a chance that some of that stuff is happening behind the scenes and Reid is choosing not to publicly drag him for it, but that’s kind of the whole point, right? Like, the NFL’s tendency to refuse to publicly point out that this is not acceptable IS the point.
Lower bowl tickets between the 20s for $300!? What??? Why!
Aka “the Rodgers rule”

I’m seeing $500 with fees on stubhub. KC isn’t that baller, used to playoffs by now. Guessing Bills fans must not be traveling that well to drive up prices.
I got good lower level World Series tickets for $750/apiece in 2014.
I really hope somebody can kick his ass out of the playoffs. Go 49ers.

The wife wants to GO to the Super Bowl if the Bengals make it. Considering our two teams are the Lions and the Bengals it might be our only chance.
Going to the SB is a bucket list item.

I polled people in my poker room yesterday. The consensus predictions were Packers and Bills. Strong lean Bucs, but several people cited fear of picking against Brady as their reason, and Bengals-Titans was a tossup.
Which game where Madbum smoked the Royals did you get to see?
I like the Bengals as much as everyone else here, but the Titans might win by 30
It at least seems like the Titans are all but certainly going to put up 30+ on the back of a strong run game vs. banged up DL. It’s just a question of how many times “Fuck it, Chase is down there somewhere” cashes in.
Yeah I thought about it with the Chiefs. I’d probably go if any of my buddies from KC wanted to. But spending $8k or whatever (after flight, hotel, strip club) to watch the Superbowl by myself doesn’t seem fun.
Maybe if KC is in it at Sofi this year and I can get a cheap ticket. But when the Raiders were in it in San Diego tickets were like double the usual price.
