Pretty sure Brady left due to the lack of weapons in New England. There were some saying he left because of general disagreements with BB and the way he ran the team. But I think he realized that he couldn't be successful with the team of receivers around him - other than Gronk. BB wanted to give short contracts to everyone not named Edelman.

NHL teams that have achieved the feat of scoring three or more goals in the final two minutes of a regulation game to win include the Carolina Hurricanes (Jan 29, 2026 vs. Utah), Dallas Stars (Oct 14, 1995 vs. Bruins), and Montreal Maroons (March 15, 1932 vs. Rangers). More recently, the Vancouver Canucks (April 2025) achieved this feat within the final minute. Key Historical & Recent Examples Carolina Hurricanes (Jan 29, 2026): Rallied from 2 goals down in the final two minutes to beat the Utah Mammoth 5-4. Vancouver Canucks (April 8, 2025): Scored three times in the final minute of regulation to defeat the Dallas Stars 6-5. Edmonton Oilers (Dec 2025): Forced OT with three goals in the third period (including two late) against the Sabres. Dallas Stars (Oct 14, 1995): Scored three goals in the final two minutes to beat the Bruins. Montreal Maroons (March 15, 1932): Scored three goals in the final two minutes to beat the Rangers.

Yeah I'm not sure he'd come back even for HC. Also not sure I want him.

Canales ranked below four guys who got fired.

Again? We had yet another losing season and fortunately backed into the playoffs because the whole division was bad.

No he was not. He was mediocre at best. He is the reason we lost the Super Bowl because he refused to adjust. Ron should have been fired in 2013. Maybe we could have got a coach that didn't waste one of the best teams we ever had.

Didn’t they do this three years ago vs the sharks and two years ago vs the leafs?

The thing is, outside of Horn, you don’t want our players playing man right now. We just don’t have the roster for it yet.

It would have to be a pretty rough season for Dave Canales to get dismissed and have Sean McDermott come in. Not out of the realm of possibility, but obviously I'd prefer doing well again next season.

Say what you want about Fiz, but he has a way with words. Blimp commander. lol

And the Bucs were pretty damn good when Brady got there. Their biggest problem was Jameis Winston and Brady provided a big improvement over him. Jameis threw 30 int's the year before Brady got there. Tampa Bay was ready to win big with even a mediocre qb when Brady arrived. That team had studs all over the place. Read that article i linked. Belichick was a great coach and should easily have made the first ballot HOF.

We have a lot of 1st round picks these next two years. Might be nice to trade some for a nice vet player.

Mad respect for the firefly (actually Serenity) gif!

so...he's essentially already on a 2 year $8M (ish) contract with only $1.1M guaranteed?? $1.1 URFA in 2026 and $7M in 2027 RFA with a 1st round tender, if I'm understanding things correctly. We have more leverage than I thought.

It wore off very quickly for most of us. We loved how well his bargain basement free agents worked to plug holes to get us to a 15-1 Super Bowl run but as soon as he pulled that bullshit with Norman the honeymoon ended quite abruptly.

Yeah... no way. Now maybe 1200 and 800? Honestly I could see that being achievable.

You sir are making a lot of sense to me! People acting like turning down $15 - $20M is easy. Best case for him would be a 2 year deal for $12M-$15M. If I'm the Panthers, I'm pushing for a 3-4 year deal at those rates. Interesting to see how it plays out.

We also had a GM who was the right hand of the former GM (Hurney 2.0 was the same) that was allergic to drafting IOL and OL in general. Brooks was a stupid pick for a couple of reasons. Better players at more needed positions and his injury putting him at barely contributing in 2024 when the 2025 RB class was stacked. Having a stud C for Bryce’s career was far more important than reaching for a RB who probably was a 3rd/4th rounder in 2025 due to the injury risk.

That contract is so brutal. $81M cap hit this year and he'll still hit them for $26M, $17M, and $8M over the next three years when he won't even be on the roster unless he makes a miraculous rebound and gets extended which seems exceedingly unlikely and this dude is setup as a fall guy if that's what he's being hired to try to accomplish. Which given his age seems likely. I mean, I don't think you're hiring a coach on the wrong side of 60 to draft and develop another QB in next year's draft but it's the Browns so who knows.

An interesting critique. Meyer is ranked dead last. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47756010/nfl-head-coach-ranking-hires-five-years-offseason-campbell-sirianni-macdonald-vrabel

Agree 100%.

During the Olympics, there are restrictions on teams making player transactions. The Olympic Roster freeze goes from February 4 at 3pm ET to February 22 at 11:59 ET. During the freeze: No Trades are permitted Players can be sent down if they are waiver exempt, except for players that played in 16 of the team's 20 NHL games prior to the freeze, or have been on the NHL roster for 80 league days prior to Jan 21 Players can be placed on waivers during the freeze, but if the player was waived after their NHL team's final game before the freeze, they do not have to report to their new team until February 17. There are no restrictions on sending players down prior to the freeze. https://puckpedia.com/news/olympic-roster-freeze

"fug pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps."

Canes are only the 5th team in history to come from 2 goals down in the last 2 minutes of the game.
