If they select a WR in the first two rounds, I expect Jamo to be traded next year, after they pickup his 5th year option. Give the rookie a year to develop as the WR3 or WR4while riding out Jamo’s rookie deal. Jamo should net a 2nd round pick. Maybe even a late 1.

Embarrassing 40 minutes from an embarrassing team to cap an embarrassing season.

We may suck, but at least we don’t have CTE.

Tomorrow may be a game where you do whatever necessary for a regulation win. The path to the playoffs where you surrender a point to Montreal is relying on a ton of help. If Thursday night, you're sitting at 83 points and the Habs are sitting at 85, with a game in hand you have a shot, however slim. If you're at 82 (or less) and they're at 86 (or more), the fat lady will be singing, if she's not already. To be abundantly clear, the path to the playoffs right now isn't pretty at all, and they have no one but themselves to blame for it. SO many games this year they should have won and shot themselves in the foot, or gave up a goal with 60 seconds or less remaining in a period. It feels like even if they stumbled into the playoffs, they would be lucky to steal one against the Caps, which is not how I felt last year with the Rangers. Such a frustrating team.

Hard to see it any other way. He’s got at least one more season to figure it out. But there’s no excuse anymore, and I’m not even sure what’s good enough. Backing into an eight-seed next year and getting swept wouldn’t inspire a vote of confidence either. In a league where half the teams make the postseason, a decade long drought is inexcusable.

Such a fitting way to blow it too with a mind-blowing turnover in 3-on-3.

Leave it to the Wings to pitch 59:32 of shoutout hockey and then head to OT.

I don't think he's likely to trade down. Not that he won't, but looking at the current 53-man projected roster, there aren't seven obvious holes. Let alone 8, 9, or 10 with added capital. Rather than draft nine guys and have to release both of our 7th rounders, hoping they make it to the practice squad, just because of space, I'd prefer to draft five, have them all make the roster, and have the best player on Brad's board (when he moves up) make a significant impact on day one.

The penalty kill is incompetent.

This is where their crappy draw could bite them. Chalk would have them playing Auburn in the Sweet 16 and the ultimate thorn Sparty in the Elite 8. Auburn is losing at half though, so who knows, maybe they’ll play Creighton and New Mexico. It’s March after all.

I wonder what Juwan is up to right now. Anger management classes?

It's counterintuitive, but I've found I can still have some fast food (Wendy's and Taco Bell in particular), as long as I'm still tracking. Those are actually easier than the mom and pop places that don't tell you calories because then I'm just guessing (and probably poorly). I do Home Chef for most dinners though, which in the same way tells me how many calories I'm taking in.

Three reviews in like 30 seconds. All confirmed obviously. All still taking like two or three minutes of real time. These last few minutes take long enough as is, they need to find a way to make these reviews go faster.

Reed wanted a winner and signs with the Lions. Davis wanted a bag and signs with the Patriots. I am happy with that trade.

Vildor to the Bucs. Fair or not, he'll be remembered for one play.

It was. I hadn’t seen that. If we can handled Kelly Stafford though we can probably handle Whitney Risner.

I expect Manu to make the roster. They can’t justify not dressing a player for two consecutive years. But I believe he is more of a tackle project than a guard project. I imagine he will be the second reserve tackle behind Skipper. At guard, it may well be Mahagony. I would like to see them pickup a serviceable 6th lineman though. That’s what they did in 2023, when they didn’t trust Vaitai to stay healthy, and it’s how Glasgow first came here. Dalton Risner and Will Hernandez are both older guys who had bad injuries in 2024 and are a little older, probably attractive candidates for a one-year deal.

The Texans signed Laken Tomlinson to a one-year deal. I was floored to learn he was still in the league.

I’m not as convinced. I think the Lions are the clear top dog right now. The Vikings were exposed to end the season, and will be starting an effectively rookie QB. KOC is undeniably a good coach, but top to bottom the Lions have a better roster. Jordan Love looked like a pumpkin to end the season, but the Packers will be dangerous. Chicago is Chicago, and they won’t worry me until they can demonstrate an ounce of reality to their yearly hype train. The Lions have won the division twice in a row now, went 6-0 in the division last year, and it feels like their crown to lose going into 2025.

Quickly turning into one of the most overrated players in the league. Never in a million years would I give him that kind of money.

The style of play demanded by the Lions defense (and thus the corners they covet) is naturally going to demand more sticky coverage, which is naturally going to bring more penalties for DPI and Defensive Holding. It doesn’t really concern me. And no, y’all can’t quote me on this the first time I’m pissed at one of them for getting called for DPI.

Over how many free oil changes he can get!

I think most of the guys who are signed today go for close to their asking price. Later on is where negotiations really come into play, and that's where Holmes seems to excel.

I'm guessing they tried to re-work the deal before releasing him. He was the best of a lot of bad options at the trade deadline, and brought a great personality to the team, but he was conspicuously absent when it mattered most, both against Buffalo and Washington. I do expect them to address the position twice more this offseason, once with a free agent and once in the first two rounds of the draft. They need to lock up Hutchinson first though. Crosby and Garrett are just driving his price up right now.

8th time’s the charm. This is a Moseley type deal. Unlikely to mean anything.
