Saints ask permission to interview Glenn, as expected. Also asked to interview Bucs OC Byron Leftwich.

ESPN was talking about possible replacements for the Bucs if Brady retires and Goff was brought up. In fact they said he may be one of the more realistic options for them that won't break the bank. I don't really know what the Bucs free agency or cap situation looks like, but assuming they bring back most of the players they have I don't think Goff would be the worst option for them. As he has shown in the past he can win if he has the talent around him.

TIgers organization to Lloyd.

Bears are hiring Colts DC as their new head coach so no Caldwell there. Unfortunately for him it appears options are running out, atleast this year anyway.

Im sure it's the Kool aid but if Rodgers leaves GB I think there is a chance the Lions could steal the division next year. Of course it would be one of those 8-9 or 9-8 type division champs but the Packers without Rodgers and perhaps Adams are going to be mediocre, same with the Vikings and Bears. If we nail this draft and finally get lucky in close games and/or turnover differential I think we could win it.

Speaking of the Steelers, Big Ben just announced his retirement. He definitely had a good run, but this retirement was long overdue. He hasn't looked good in many years.

Like I said before I was in High School during the chase and I remember creatine and androstenedione became really popular among all the athletes in my school during that time. I don't remember if Mcgwire came out and credited those supplements but I do know that was the narrative going around my school. One of my classmates had an older brother who worked at GNC so he would always get the stuff for everybody.

I'd imagine those top 4 probably have a higher WAR than the vast majority of top 4s in history as well. I don't know for sure but it seems like it would be pretty rare to have two guys with 55+ WAR and another with 34 in the top 4. There's no doubt though that the roughly 340 combined WAR of the top 6 has to be not only the best top 6 but probably better than any one 1st round if not entire draft of all time.

I really like that Denver roster, the fact that they were .500 and actually outscored their opponents despite lack luster QB play, some crucial injuries and playing in one of the toughest divisions in football is a good indicator just how well rounded it is. If they were to get Rodgers I think they would be a team to be reckoned with.

I remember them cutting away to their at bats too. I was a huge Griffey fan and up until like the end of July or early August he was hanging pretty close with Sosa and Mcgwire so Baseball Tonight would have this slot machine graphic where each row was one of the players. Anyway anytime one of them would hit a HR the graphic would spit out 3 rows of said player before cutting to the HR. I was always on the edge of my seat when the graphic came on hoping that it would land on 3 Griffeys.lol

I was a junior in High School when McGwire broke the record and I remember it being the top story that was read over the PA on the daily announcements the next morning. I couldn't fathom something like that happening today, maybe if the Tigers did something major it would happen locally but that's about it.

John Givony of ESPN and Draft Express put out his latest mock where the picks were just based off current record. He has us taking Paulo at 2 with Chet going 1st to Orlando. Also read an article by Sam Vecenie of The Athletic where he compares the guys in this class to last years. He said according to every evaluator he talked to the top 3 of this past draft of Cade, Green and Mobley are seen as better than any of the prospects in this upcoming draft and that all 3 were worthy number 1 picks. Where as evaluators feel the top guys in this draft are more like your average 3 to 5 pick.

I must be Daniel Jones good luck charm cause Ive probably watched maybe 5 of his games and in all those games he looked pretty good to me and I could see the potential. Then I see his overall stats and the views from football people way more knowledgeable than me and I realize that those are just outlying performances.

Freaking John Harbaugh stealing from his brother! Seriously though could that be a sign that Jim is indeed gone or is football just that ruthless? I imagine it may be both.

Collins would be a God send here and if you do decide to go with Ivey and not one of the bigs in the draft I would totally go after Ayton if we could. I guess the problem comes though is that I prefer Bey at the 4 vs. The 3 but that would be a small concession to have that much athletic talent in the front court.

His Kids are likely to grow up without a Father cause he refuses to give up his stance and get the vaccine.

Not that this means anything or is a free pass for those that didn't vote for them but I'm just curious I wonder if guys like Bonds or Clemens really care if they are in the Hall of Fame? Like in some borderline guys cases they probably love the feeling of being recognized, their legacy getting immortalized and for some perhaps bigger pay days at autograph signings but I'm not sure any of that really applies to Clemens or Bonds.

Minnesota writer just through out this proposal. Malik Beasley, Jaden McDaniels and an unprotected 2022 1st for Grant. Who says no? I like Beasley as a bench piece and somebody who can provide a bit of instant offense there but he is who he is and McDaniels while young probably isn't likely to be anything special so it really comes down to what you think of the TWolves and in turn that pick. It would be nice to get that pick right away and currently the Twolves are in the 7th spot, with teams like the Lakers, Clippers and Blazers also in the play in portion if that holds true they easily could be dumped out of it and that pick becomes a lottery pick. On the flip side though they are close to the 6th spot and if you feel they are only getting better and the addition of Grant will make them better then the trade doesn't make as much sense since then the pick could be around 20 instead. I'm on the fence about it, I mean I would certainly take it over keeping Grant if that is what it came down to but I personally would like for a better young lottery ticket than a McDaniels but I do think Beasley could be helpful to the team and the 1st could end up being the best that we could end up with.

Crazy comeback for the Clippers tonight, they were down by 35 heading into the half and came back to win. Our old friend Luke Kennard scored 7 points in the last 9 seconds including a 4 point play with a second left to give the Clips the 1 point win.

Once Cade cuts down on the TOs and silly fouls like I expect him to with experience and having more talent around him he is really gonna be a star. He has all the tools and tricks to get any shot he wants and the ability to knock them down. His ability to finish with both hands and his touch near the hoop helps mitigate any lack of explosion that many people feared. Wish he could get to the line more though but that too may come with experience.

Arbitrary cutoff numbers aside that is still impressive, not just rookie but player in general to reach those figures.

Kelly Stafford is so annoying, between putting up with her and the Lions for over a decade Stafford deserves a Super Bowl and then some.

I definitely think he is worthy but I felt there have been way more worthy guys than him in the past not get in on their first ballot, not to mention the guys on this ballot I felt were more worthy. Like look how long Edgar Martinez had to wait cause the voters thought it would be blasphemy to vote in a dh but Ortiz gets to waltz in on his first try.

Does this mean he's going to get the ceremony all to himself or can there still be Veteran's committee inductees get in? If he is the lone inductee it makes me even more nauseous.
