everything should be on the table

2025 draft could be solid 2024 is just really bad: traded up for Arnold, when early 2nd round guys are now better, healthier; drafted yet another injured player (Rakestraw) who (shocker!) has been injured for 2 years; traded up for Manu, LOL!; traded up for Vaki, LOL! which is indefensible when you already had Monty, Gibbs, Reynolds; Wingo is too small to do anything in their system; Mahogany, almost be default could be best pick.

most of us will be dead before the NFL sees another game like yesterday's: 3 yards passing and a double digit win The only other teams that have won games with fewer than 10 net passing yards over the past 40 years are the 1987 St. Louis Cardinals (4 yards) and the 2006 Houston Texans (minus-5 yards). It's even rarer to win by a double-digit margin, with the last victory for a team by at least 10 points with less than 5 net passing yards coming in 1974.

with the season on the line, Dan started and played Eguakun over Glasgow, who dressed for the game? 2 fumbles are the direct responsibility of Eguakun, 2 fumbles that I will say Glasgow would not have made terrifying thought: they are trying to get Eguakun (next man up!) ready for his starting 2026 role

looks like they kept the wrong coach

if a team lead by Matt Patricia played like this, people would be calling for his immediate dismissal Dan's built up a lot of goodwill and I am not calling for his head, but this was a gutless performance

hard to believe that this is all they have to offer in an elimination game

an unmanned team that Dan Campbell is pretending is not a undermanned team which is why he sticks with the same plays even though the personnel cannot competently run what he is calling he refuses to adjust because he would rather lose his way, then win another way

Dan Campbell is a huge part of the problem right now

they get to spend Christmas in Utah?

one extreme is bring back Decker and Ragnow and keep it all the same for a year - Decker-Mahogany-Ragnow-Ratledge-Sewell the other extreme is both go, Sewell slides to Goff's blind side, Ratledge moves to C, and Mahogany flips to RG, 100% turnover - Sewell-Frazier-Ratledge-Mahogany-Rookie if Brad tells us he really likes Eguakun's and Manu's progress, I'm gonna lose it

Vecenie has his top 40 trade article out for The Athletic. He has Det as good fits for AD, Dosunmu, McCollum and Schroder. I know there are a lot of opinions about him, and no idea what LAC are doing as their lottery pick goes to OKC, but John Collins could give the bench some scoring punch. could audition him as a future replacement for Tobias (5 years younger)

not sure we need or want another Skubal article, but Cody dropped another one today, basically comparing Bets, Soto, and Pedro trades to Skubal's situation this is a good quote “In some ways,” Cubs executive Carter Hawkins recently said, “if you’re always on one of the particular sides of a deal like that — like the quote-unquote ‘Tucker side’ or the ‘prospect side’ — if you do that over and over and over again, it’s probably not good for your organizational health. “If you’re never, ever taking on risk in terms of giving future talent away, you might miss the chance for some upside seasons. And vice versa — if you’re always just accumulating asset value, you never actually have that come to fruition.”

this team is really, really talented AND they have a QB, so the foundation is very strong. they just need to fix the OL, but even still they may lead the league in scoring with a crap OL! I think the D will take a while (2 seasons) to fix. Brad failed to do job #1 as GM - build strong OL and DL

I see the Red Sox continue to acquire proven major league players, even though it may block prospects. if they keep this nonsense up, they might win the brutal AL East.

best case is Ragnow and Decker come back for a year as they give replacements some snaps as well Decker/(future RT) - Mahogany/Frazier - Ragnow/(future C) - Ratledge/Frazier - Sewell if Ragnow can see what we see - the SB is still a ways away - then maybe he does not come back and if you want to see what the OL will look like without Decker, see yesterday's game when Glasgow was out the reason they wanted to move Ratledge in training camp to C is they could see what was coming, but they did not have time to prepare him; you can always find a G (see: Mahogany, Frazier) but a real C is hard to find they need to fix this and carrying Manu for 3 years of ziltch is getting annoying

they are probably correct that they will pay no price for this incredible power move by Weiss, a grifter who amassed fame, money and power by constantly saying she was cancelled (while working for the NYT, publishing books and creating her own media company) to make this hypocritical cancel culture move, and she will be rewarded for it probably. I see some other journalists (effing institutionalists) who ran cover for her when she was appointed (in part because she was a woman) are now silent. __ MAGA: yes! you have fallen in line, but tomorrow will be another test for your loyalty Dems: that's awful but we cannot do anything about it because of norms Other third of Americans: declines to look up from their phones to learn who the current VP is

when investigating the MAGA dude who shot that other MAGA dude, Patel would not leave the FBI jet until the FBI tactical jacket they found for him (size: Woman's Medium) was adorned with the super special Velcro patches that Patel saw the real agents were wearing

the injuries suck, but they are playing like crap in multiple phases - thanks 100% coaching failure Holmes failed the GM's basic job of building winning teams - strong lines they are pissing away so much talent

it is basically one 1st round pick, two 2nd round picks, one 3rd round pick, and a late round flyer for 3 years of a mid-rotation dude.

NYT has a story today about the Orange pedo turd and Epstein throwing parties for 14 year old girls told to dress sexy

Ruiz is awful on both sides of plate and the Nats would have dumped him long ago except for his horrible contract. Lux was a SS and the #1 prospect and now is a rando platoon OF. Injuries have devastated almost all the pitchers careers. the point is, the LAD don't miss any of the guys they traded and really should have traded even more of them before there value zeroed out.

Here the top Dodgers prospects from 2020 = 1 regular; 3 guys who never got a single at bat; and a whole lot of blah in between.

Hopefully, yes! But I think everyone has their favorite memory from the Scott Sizemore Era, so let's aim for some different results this time.
