Mr. Scot

They made it clear to every candidate they interviewed that the plan was to stick with Carson Wentz.

Pretty much. I normally wouldn't be in favor of something like that, but given that they stupidly promised him to be part of the process and then didn't follow through with it, they need to do something.

Sure. Just stop making new screen names and that problem solves itself.

Spielman used to have a daily radio show on a sports station in Columbus. Heard him plenty while I was living in Ohio. Even got to meet him a couple of times. Rosenthal's comment about Spielman hiring Spielman is absolutely spot on.

For the record, I've never been bitten on the kneecap. (not by a human, anyway)

The presser ran for something like an hour and a half. Reports said at one point he spoke for 19 minutes straight without stopping.

Might be the most colorful coach we've seen since Jerry Glanville. Reactions have run the gamut from "hell yeah, this is what the Lions need" to "OMG this clown will be fired in three years". The most balanced take I've seen is that his success or failure is going to depend heavily on who he picks as coordinators. In the meantime, maybe the Lions should invest in a WWE style music and video intro package to be played when he comes out to his press conferences.

Raheem Morris to the Rams...

That's a not so great moment in draft history for about 20 NFL GMs.

General belief is that Moton will be getting the franchise tag. Fitterer is said to be a good people person. Maybe he can talk him into re-signing.

I probably wouldn't either, but how often do you get an opportunity to be an NFL head coach? Watson wants him and Mahomes recommended him, so I definitely understand if the Texans hire him. What I guess they have to hope at this point is that Nick Caserio can turn things around. And I'm pretty sure Caserio didn't want his first newsworthy action as GM to be losing DeShaun Watson.

Being reported now that they've officially signed him.

A little later in the presser, he explained how he was going to kick Triple H's ass at WrestleMania. Also, per the Lions Twitter, this is the nameplate outside his office.

FYI: Aaron Wilson seems to be hinting that the Texans are going to choose between Eric Bieniemy and Leslie Frazier.

Gotta believe that decision has a lot to do with Carson Wentz. Kinda makes sense. If you can't get Frank Reich back, take one of his people.

Earlier today it was reported that the Steelers are talking to Hue Jackson about their OC job. Things could get really entertaining in Pittsburgh next year.

Aaron Wilson indicated there's progress toward that happening.

Just saw that the Eagles named Colts OC Nick Sirianni head coach.

We're gonna get three quarterbacks? I'm pretty sure there's time between now and the start of free agency to take a picture or two.

Between saying things like "enough of that sh-t" in his introductory presser and this, I definitely get the feeling Dan Campbell is gonna be entertaining

Speaking of pressers, here's a quote from Dan Campbell today... "I can give you coachspeak all day long, ‘Hey, we’re gonna win this many games.’ None of that matters and you don’t want to hear it anyway. You’ve had enough of that s–t." I get the feeling Fitterer won't be quite so...animated

In his first draft as a GM, he picked a guy named Aaron Rodgers.

is that something you want to count on, though? I just can't get behind this kind of move given where we are as a team right now. If we were further along maybe, but I just don't see this as the right time.

This could be interesting... Jackson is actually a really good OC and playcaller, but good grief is he an a--hole to deal with. If you watched any of Hard Knocks episodes with the Bengals, you probably know what I mean (he used to drive Mike Zimmer up a wall).

Like say, behind the lousy offensive line that you're stuck with because you gave away some of your top picks?
