Mr. Scot

Missed this from earlier...

For what it's worth...

Pretty much

What'd I miss?

I don't buy into the refs being corrupt so much as I do them just sucking at their job. The quality of officiating has definitely gone down. (though granted, people have always complained about the refs)

I've never bought into it. Back when they had their 100th season, they could've had a historic Super Bowl between the Steelers and 49ers (both of whom were undefeated in Super Bowls at the time) but the Steelers lost to the Chargers in the AFC Championship. I remember thinking, "if you were gonna rig something..."

I've noticed the Bobby Slowik head coaching train seems to have derailed this year.

Not a conspiracy theorist, but I do think the NFL would "prefer" to see the Lions, Eagles and Bills win the remaining games. Another Mahomes-Allen championship game would certainly be a ratings bonanza.

He's technically talking about Stroud vs Bryce with us, so the Texans aren't necessarily relevant. Valid to say Bryce would have gotten his ass kicked down there, though.

If he takes the Raiders job under Davis after snubbing the Panthers under Tepper...Le Ouch That said, it's not farfetched to believe he was self aware enough in the past to believe he wasn't ready. And frankly, kinda hard to deny that his past decisions have put him in a pretty good spot.

I was gonna ask how Stroud looked in the game but it sounds like it wasn't a great showing. I did see that Mongolian cluster $#@& of the last red zone appearance and field goal attempt.

Depends on your mindset. Most guys taking head coaching jobs look at sh-t situations but say to themselves "I can fix it". Is that Johnson? No idea

Seen? No. Haven't been able to watch much where I'm at. Have read plenty of talk about it, though.

Out for sister-in-law's birthday so only half able to watch, but I see the "NFL favoring the Chiefs" discussion is kicking into high gear online again

Arguments I've heard, validity unknown... It's been said he doesn't like the idea of being in direct competition with his old team. How much of a factor that is? Don't know, but it would favor the Raiders and the Jags if true. Have also seen it suggested that he wants to be able to pick his own quarterback rather than having to work with someone picked prior to his arrival. That doesn't seem farfetched. Word also that the Raiders are prepared to pay him a contract that'll piss off other owners. Definitely something I could picture Davis doing but can the Raiders actually do it? We'll see. And yeah, there's the Brady factor (for whatever that's really worth). Brady has reportedly been going "full court press" on Johnson. Doubt Johnson is starstruck or anything like that but Brady might have a convincing argument. Bottom Line: There's certainly loads of chatter, but there usually is

Side Note: The Lions are continuing to try and bolster their offensive line, this time with the unusual move turning in a "draft card" 21 years early Can't say I blame 'em though

From the second episode...

Can't verify the source, but...

Sounds like the Titans picked their GM...

Sounds like they want to avoid the "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation the prior staff had. Kinda wonder if Bryce gave any input on that decision

Clip... Newton swings a bit wild, honestly.

Might not be a package deal, though. There are rumors that Giants GM Joe Schoen covers Shedeur in Round 1 (#3 overall)

Meanwhile, bad news for Lady Cowboy Fan... Starting to think the circus just might be coming to town

Side Note: Sad news for both sports and comedy fans
