Mcgwire is one of the most underrated hitters of all time, of course he is the poster boy for peds so I know why he doesnt get the recognition he does but boy was he a force at the plate.

Payton says he "100% won't retire and come back in a year" so unless he goes back on his word or pulls some sorta shenanigans like coming back 13 months later(technically it wasn't just a year) then it appears Dallas or whomever may have to wait a little bit for him.

Oh I totally could see him doing that and if you believe in Payton it would be well worth it. Dallas is fortunate to be set at several key positions so they are a team that can afford to lose a top draft pick or two and to me when you're in that position that's a small price to pay to get a premium HC that can lead you to a Super Bowl.

Its a good thing we got MCDC when we did cause if he stayed there he surely would've been a prime candidate.

In an era where less and less people are watching tv the NFL shows once again that they are King and immune to that. 38 million people a game, crazy!

If I had no knowledge of that logo and somebody told me to guess what animal that was Id probably run through a dozen things before Id say Tiger. Lol

The whole thing reeks of what Urban Meyer did in both FLA and to a lesser extent OSU. Bama was kicking FLA's ass and he saw the writing on the wall so he "retired" due to health reasons only for a year later take the OSU job which was probably the best non Bama job in the country.

Speaking of that I saw this tweet and it made me laugh.

Oh not suggesting he would, just saying that IF it was something stress related and he was just burned out from the high demands and responsibility of being a HC that being a OC here wouldn't be a bad option for him in that regard. But yeah it's totally not gonna happen and Im 90%sure he's just going to head to tv.

I haven't heard why Payton might step away but if it's stress related perhaps he would rather have an OC job in an environment like here where we're seemingly on the upswing but not to the point where it's high pressure and you have to win at all costs.

I personally put any guy linked to steroids in that I believe would have been even if they were clean like Bonds and Clemens. Both were HOF guys before ever being linked to it so I think just using that resume and throwing out what they did on roids all together would be enough to get in. For instance if Miggy and Pujols decided to take steroids tomorrow and it helped them suddenly put together 5 dominant seasons and in Pujols case rewrite a bunch of career records like the HR record I wouldn't keep them out when they were eligible because I feel they were HOF to begin with. I do get though that there is a character clause and its not all about performance so I understand the voters that say no but to me I just more credit to what they did on the field and how great they were at that. Either way though the precedent has been set with arguably the greatest pitcher and hitter not getting in and that's if you are linked to steroids you can't get in. I mean if they cant get in despite both being at the very least top 10 players of all time your run of the mill HOFer has no shot going forward of getting in if linked to roids/peds.

I really would like atleast 1 more year of Glenn working with our young DBs but I would be happy for him if he got a HC job. I think he is deserving of it, there may be a few guys more deserving based on longer track records but based on what he did here with the guys he had to work with I think he proved he is a great coach. It's hard to understate just how little of talent we had out there yet on most occasions the defense atleast looked fairly respectable.

The G with the baseball wings is a horrendous logo, I thought it was just some fan made thing a HS kid made on his computer the first time I saw it. I totally get 90s Angels vibe from the logo except this one looks less professional.

One thing that stands out to me is just how consistently good the Yankees have been. We all knew how good the Dodgers have been this past decade plus and I would have presumed they were way better than the Yankees and everybody else but in reality they have only been about 2 games a season better than them. It "feels" like the Yankees have had a few bad seasons in that time frame but evidently they haven't, it's just that the bar is of course set so high for them that the "bad seasons" are still good for every other franchise.

AJ and Co. have the Tigers ready to run through walls like MCDC does with the Lions.

I'm starting to get confident that the season will start on time. I think both sides played chicken with each other but are ultimately coming to the conclusion that they can't afford for the season to be delayed or for a long term strike so they will meet in the middle and come to an agreement.

Thanks, I remember Culpepper and Stanton being here early in Staff's career that's why I wasnt sure if Dan O was a 3rd QB or already gone to Indy by then. Either I don't remember or never even realized we brought him back under Caldwell, I also completely forgot about Shaun Hill until you mentioned him.

Josh Allen's performance down the stretch of that game reminded me so much of a college performance, Vince Young's against USC in the Rose Bowl to be specific. Just the escapes he made to keep plays alive and how he just put the team on his back to win, unfortunately unlike Young he wasn't able to win the game.

Was Dan O still here when we drafted Stafford cause that might explain his love for him? Even before this year when the media finally started to recognize him Dan always stood by him and would call him a top tier guy.

Since we can't trade a first its a moot point but if we could've gotten him for that deal I don't understand why you would balk at it. Yeah Simmons can't shoot but despite that he has still been a very productive and valuable player in his career, made multiple All NBAs, All Star Games and was/is generally considered a top 20 to 25 player in the league who is entering his prime years. If you can get that for an even more flawed player in Grant who will be gone in a year, a guy like Bey who is replaceable and a pick that should be in the teens or later you should hop on it.imo Again though it seems all hypothetical at this point.

Btw I saw a tweet from Rappaport earlier that he retweeted from 2019, it said that ironically the Chiefs made a proposal to change ot rules then and either the other owners shot it down or the league did, can't remember which. Now 3 years later they are the benefactors from those people shooting it down.

There's no denying that the team that wins the coin toss has a huge advantage, sure you could say just play better defense but that's irrelevant to me, the fact is you're still at a disadvantage because of something you have no control over. That in of itself makes it a flawed system. Sure there's nothing that you can do to make it 100% equal but you can do things to try to mitigate any advantages as much as possible.

According to Philly papers it seems the proposed deal is Grant, Bey, Olynyk and a future 1st for Simmons. I would do that in a heartbeat seeing how as you mentioned it can't be this year's pick so it would have to be one down the road and hopefully by then we will be good. It would suck to lose Bey but lets face it he is replaceable and a potential big 3 of Cade, Simmons and a top 3 pick this year could carry us to the upper echelon in the East in a couple years. Of course Philly rightfully said no but who knows they may cave eventually if/when they don't get their Damian Lillard like star that they are holding out for in return.

Yeah not squibbing that kick with 13 seconds left was really stupid as was rushing 4 guys on that second to last play of regulation. Like Romo said you know Mahomes was going to immediately get rid of it so you weren't going to get to him anyway so instead of using 4 guys to rush the qb drop one back in coverage. If they did that the guy may have been there to make the tackle on Kelce before he gained 30 yards.

Turns out Josh Allen's one big mistake was calling tails on the coin toss.
