Rewatching Ted Lasso. Such a phenomenal show through and through. Just as good on the second watch.

High praise. Too bad they used a first round pick on an off-ball linebacker. /s

He was league average despite putting off shoulder surgery all season. The way Campbell talked about him though (before Decker announced his return), it sounds like they want to plan on load management for him with the expectation he won't make every start. I think he'll be good next year. Not great, not like his prime, but good. Where he was this year or better.

Justin Rogers is confirming Decker will be back. That's big news. One less immediate hole to fill. Still need someone to be ready to fill it next year, but you can focus on center (or guard) this year and tackle next if you need to.

Holmes is on the podium. Campbell to talk at 2.

I agree on both accounts. Chargers will be players if he hits the open market. I wouldn’t count out the Lions though.

There are also reports from Rapoport though that Linderbaum's camp isn't returning the Ravens calls. DeCosta is saying the right things and I don't doubt that the Ravens want to retain him (otherwise they are replacing their entire IOL this offseason). At this point, for whatever reason (whether money, hard feelings at the Harbaugh departure, or otherwise), I think he's going to hit the open market. Does he take $21MM to go to Browns, Jets, or Titans over $19MM to return to the Ravens? I doubt it. But if it's the Seahawks, Eagles, or Lions who are willing to pony up, it might happen. If the Lions can somehow swing it, he is the closest thing to Frank Ragnow that's not Frank Ragnow.

Fake job titles are super popular in corporate America. When someone knows where all the skeletons are buried, you can’t fire them. But if they’re terrible at their job, they can’t keep doing it. So the powers “promote” them to the newly created role of “Director of Workplace Performance” and now they get paid to do nothing. Hopefully Shaw brings more value than the people I’m currently thinking of.

A fake title given to someone they want on the staff. AFAIK, there’s no rules limiting the number of coaches a team can have. And it’s not like there is a staff salary cap. So if they want to have 100 coaches they just have to pay 100. I’m sure they have a role in mind for Shaw, and that’s just the fancy title they came up with for it.

There was probably a better way to post that, but I couldn't figure it out.

The real gold medal will be seeing the Wings return at full strength and without having suffered injury during the last two weeks.

Only thing Timmy’s got going for him are his Tim Bits. I can eat 20 of those ****ing things and still feel just as good about myself. Whereas if I eat three real donuts I’ll feel like a fat ass the rest of the day.

My phone died as the OT started but my fist pump knocked a glass of water into the guy next to me. He wasn’t even upset. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

US hasn’t played like a team deserving of gold.

Powerplay will be the US last best chance.

No doubt about it. US has no business being in a tie game.

Matter of time. Really poor period all around, that was overdue.

Feels like the US is just trying to survive the period. No way they keep this 1-0 for another 24 minutes at this pace.

I thought the same thing. Hellebuyck did what he needed to, but McDavid did not get the look he should have.

Found the degenerate bar that opens at 7am for this one. Don’t serve Irish coffee, but that’d have been a bad omen anyway. Bloody Mary is strong. I’m coming to believe a certain kind of character tends to gravitate towards a bar that opens at 7am

The Chiefs are doing something similar, moving from Kansas City, Missouri to Kansas City, Kansas. It helps them though that most Americans are stupid and couldn't have told you that there are two Kansas Cities to begin with, nor that the Missouri version has 3x the population.

I'll see you your Pontiac, and raise you an Auburn Hills.

It wouldn't even be the furthest stadium from their "city" in the NFL. The Santa Clara 49ers are like 45 miles from San Francisco. The Arlington Cowboys are about 20 miles from Dallas. The Hammond Bears would be about 20-25 miles from Chicago. It's more the ineptitude of it for me. The Bears and Illinois are a bad management match made in heaven.

I tend to agree. Strictly speaking, he's not saying "Terrion Arnold is connected with two men who were arrested for armed robbery." Instead, he's saying "A FOX station in Florida is reporting that Terrion Arnold is connected..." It's a fine line, and when you're Florio, with a large audience, there comes a responsibility to do more digging than just retweeting. Hell, I think I did a better job of posting the story here in my first word being "unverified." This isn't that far removed from if Florio had reported fake news promulgated by a Twitter Bot. Can't do that. And it will cost Florio, to the extent TA's agents (Klutch Sports Group, who represents ~200 professional athletes including LeBron and Jalen Hurts) have now likely put him squarely in the dog house. But as it stands, I can't really blame Florio too much for re-reporting what on its face appeared to be legitimate news.
