“I stand back and look at it from a distance. Maybe he doesn’t want to teach a new guy, who has just a little more ability, the ins and outs of his system. It’s my job to press him on that if I think there are players who make us better in the draft or free agency.” Both of those quotes were interesting to me... I've noticed that Beane has been letting people know lately that he is the guy making personnel decisions, not the coach. I would normally have read that as referring to the offense, since the defense seems stacked but the phrase "his system" would seemingly refer to the defense. Beane must know that we need weapons for the offense and cannot hope to win games by playing ultra conservative.

Sammy is incredibly talented, and it shows when he has spurts where he makes huge plays. If he had Tom Brady's intensity and work ethic he might be one of the GOATS at WR

I think Terry was always and now is much more interested in being an NFL owner than NHL. I know I would be much more into the Bills than the Sabres, even if both teams were good. Who can blame him? Football is much more relevant, much more fun regardless of record, makes more money, and provides much greater chances for glory. A 4-12 Bills season is still more fun than watching these recent Sabres teams. There are still some ups and downs. Still some drama. The country cares on some level. It feels like it matters. The NFL product is 100X better than most NHL games, which feel like a scrimmage in a half empty arena where you could hear a pin drop. Part of it is that there are only 16 NFL games vs 82 in hockey. These Sabres seasons feel 250 games long, though. It feels like they play (and lose) every single day. They were talking about the Sabres on WGR and asked a good question recently: "What ARE they good at?" Awful at PR and fan experience (see the article above for numerous examples) which is something that should be easy to nail.

The only real audience for this is Robert Kraft. Brady wants his AB back.

Drafting a RB in the first round is completely insane. It borders on incompetence. Totally indefensible. The league is filled with very good RBs that were drafted in rounds 2,3,4. We have one on our own team in Singletary! Henry was a 2nd round pick. I could go on and on. There is no position other than punter that I would be more upset to waste a 1st round pick on.

He will be 43 next season. I'm so glad that hubris will keep him playing!

To be up 10 points late in the 4th quarter and then not only lose but lose by 11 is really remarkable.

What about 49ers vs Raiders at Penn State's field, for example? Obviously Steelers game there would essentially be a home game.

I think Jerry Hughes is held on every single play. At least it looks like that to me. Either way, the refs were consistent. I don't think a single holding call was made all game, and as a fan, I loved it. Nothing sucks more than seeing huge plays negated by stupid holding penalties. Half the time you can't celebrate right away because every time something exciting happens there is a flag to ruin it. This SB is exactly how every game should be called IMO.

If you're on a great team like NE or KC that goes deep in the playoffs every year, you eventually play entire extra seasons worth of games at 100% full speed and effort that guys on bad teams never play, just speaking in terms of wear and tear on the body A 17 week season with 1 neutral site game for every team per year could lend itself to some pretty cool venues. Not only international. Legendary college stadiums hosting a game here or there would be neat to see as well.

That is going to be amazing if it happens!

Brady said he looked forward to mentoring a young QB Isn't there a young QB in NE right now?

I counted KC out every postseason game It's amazing how they can be down and out then all if a sudden turn it on! Love to see Reid finally win one. No matter what happens now he is a SB winning coach. Takes a ton of pressure off.

If Reid coaches another 5-6 years he will be top 4 in wins all time If Cowher is there he is definitely in

Just a bad throw.... He was wide open

Kind of a sleepy super bowl so far

Thank God Jimmy G is not in NE

Poor Reid is never going to win a Super bowl

We need some elite pass rushers

KC is so soft.... They remind me so much of Manning's Colts teams

KC offense looks shaky aside from Watkins Lots of game left but SF looks like the better team

SF is about to put the clamps down

How come the kickers don't get comic book graphics?

SF is running them over Only a matter of time before they break the game open

He started to slide so he should be down
