    Fair points. I give them a pass on Glenn because that was a good trade and provided some of the draft capital used to acquire Allen and Edmunds.

    I don't think it's "playoffs or bust" -- I think it's a better than .500 record, the elimination of "bad losses" like we've seen the past couple of years, and offensive statistics that aren't mired at the bottom of the league. Those are my criteria, anyway.

    Brady is the very definition of the guy who doesn't need to attend voluntary workouts. I have no problem with this whatsoever.

    Yup. Process or not, it's year three and the team has to start showing results on the field.

    I think this is a reasonable statement -- I'll only disagree that they "bungled" the OL. They couldn't predict Wood's injury/retirement, and I guess they didn't need to ask Richie to take a pay cut but they certainly didn't expect him to flip out the way he did. If both of those guys had returned last year we could have seen some much different results.

    The Eagles were in a bit of a pickle. They let Foles -- a bonified Philly legend now -- walk away for nothing, and they have a fan base who really likes Wentz but are also uneasy. They needed to send a message to Wentz, the fan base, and the team that Carson is "their guy." I think they needed to do this even though it is admittedly a risk.

    Has anyone brought up Retatta? Of course, you need to set aside half a day.

    Mebane is a town about 20 miles west of Chapel Hill. I have some good friends who live there...some nice areas and a country club...and also a decent number of rednecks.

    Yeah, I'm starting to fall into the trap of going from "who is this guy that was running a soccer team" to "holy crap how did we get this guy" -- he's a hell of a speaker, that's for sure.

    It's about time the Massholes had to go through what every other franchise goes through. Come on, Blues, end this thing this weekend.

    Dude sounds hungry for sure. Hope his coaching method of "tough love" gets through to these guys.

    We need to find Josh a supermodel to marry so he isn't worried about his contract. Any ideas?

    The train horn is silly. Why not the herd of buffalo rumbling? I think that particular video/soundtrack is way underutilized.

    Tre will be one of the first test cases of Beane's stated "sign your own" philosophy.

    Yeah, and if you believe that I've got some oceanfront property in Kansas to show you...

    And you need about fifteen emojis.

    What's up with the kid giving himself a wedgie?

    I’m now convinced, more than ever, that your sole purpose on this site is to see what sort of rise you can get out of people. You won’t find this fish biting again. I’m glad you’ve got some big fans in ScottLaw and Bill from NYC.

    If every other NFL GM and HC was scrutinized and nitpicked to death the way you have done to Beane and McD, I'm sure you'd find "a TON of errors" there as well. It's a business in which the GM "hopes" to be right 50% of the time. And if you're calling Josh Allen the beacon of hope, you could at least give Beane credit for maneuvering to get him.

    I guess she just wanted to get a little trim.

    He fell into the trap of thinking it was cool or funny to make fun of everything the organization did.

    For his first several years his stories provided absolutely no insight and it didn't even seem like he was watching the team personally. I think he started to "get it" more recently but still lacked any real journalistic "spark." If I read anything of his it was truly by accident.

    Ahh, some of the replies to that tweet are classic. Overboard, but classic. I think Rodak grew in his job over the years, but man, was he terrible for the first few.

    Not even close. The Bills gave up a low 3rd (#85) and 7th for a proven WR with production. Benjamin obviously didn't pan out but it wasn't a crazy trade.
