I love my wife. I really do...

So much in fact that I got her a personalized authentic Cowboys jersey.

Told her I'd considered waiting to give it to her as a Christmas or birthday gift but I wanted her to have it now before her season was over.

She responded "Oh, my season isn't over until the Super Bowl. Your season is over" 😳

Interesting to see the influx of Practice tweets/updates the week Rhule is gone...

Coincidence? I think not. 

My wife's jokes aside I've had to kind of remind myself over the last couple of days that football season is still going on.

Head coaches getting fired make you think of the offseason, and even a lot of our discussion has centered around what would typically be offseason topics.

And then I'm reminded "Oh yeah, we're playing this Sunday."

I'm probably not alone in that.

Man, what an interesting response from Robby…. I thought he might be a little more responsive, but he looked completely disinterested.  Almost as if he realized Matt was great in college and helping him get paid, but wasn’t up to being an NFL coach.

it’s a business.  Indeed.

So there were reports that Tepper Sports told the players to ignore the media, dont tweet, and stick to the script when they fired Angel Ramirez this season. I can't say with confidence that this report was accurate. However, seeing how players have spoken about Rhule and his firing... I'd almost think they were told the same thing. Hence RA's behavior in the interview.

Now the inverse to this.... they didnt believe Rhule would take them all the way, and now they are relieved.

It's always hard to judge by players. They're way more prone to take the blame themselves than they are to throw anyone under the bus.

That said, Robbie looked like he'd been shot with a tranquilizer dart.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
