Miyagi-Do Karate

i will say that I know a lot of really good former college players who would jump at the chance of being a QC coach in the NFL, but instead they are grinding it out and watching film for big high school programs or D3 programs. Maybe Kyle Shurmur is really good, but his dad’s connections got him this job.

A lot don’t. A lot of companies have very strict nepotism policies.

the NFL has a serious nepotism problem. Kyle Shurmur will probably be a head coach some day— just like Kyle Shanahan, Nathaniel Hackett, steve Bellichick, etc. That is the bigger underlying issue that is a root cause of all the Rooney Rule issues.

i agree with you. The number of failures in the playoffs is alarming, especially with no juggernaut teams in the way (like with the pats in the AFC). He is 1-4 in NFCCG’s.

with the fluke bounce off the backboard on the corner 3, which won the game for Butler, as I recall.

to think, we legit could have won the championship that year if he didn’t go down.

Welp, there goes the season. Edwards broke his wrist. https://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2022/02/jesse-edwards-fractures-wrist-will-be-out-for-the-rest-of-the-syracuse-basketball-season.html

Am I the only one who saw this thread title and thought of Reggie Germany?!

i follow Michigan a bit and I agree. I think Groot is probably going to end up being better honestly.

retired. But Bobby April junior is a coach!

haha— so true. I am sure Dougie now claims credit for Hackett being from “his coaching tree” too.

i actually thought he did a nice job in Jax. He came in, stabbed the HC in the back, and then took full credit for the superb defense that that guy built en route to one good season. When he couldn’t take credit for other people’s work anymore, the team went into the toilet, and he got out of dodge with millions. So, mission accomplished.

That Syracuse/BC game was frustrating to watch! The officiating just struck me as so one-sided. BC hand checking all game and no foul calls, and Edwards is breathing on guys and fouls out in 14 minutes of play? just glad they survived that one.

this thread prompted me to buy some Pops. Solid as ever!

Welcome home!

hang in there, man— that sounds traumatizing.

Webb better be getting some guaranteed money— otherwise this deal Doesn’t make a lot of sense. He has a great thing going now.

is this a rumor you are starting?! 😄

A guy I played with told me that I was the best “second ball” player he had ever seen.

Dang, you are harsh about Poyer. He was a first team all pro this year! Overall, I think the team probably loves their current safety group. I think they really like Johnson too (unsure what makes you think he has been passed over). I suspect they make Levi a solid offer, and maybe he tests the market.

Throwing, moving, and kicking the ball is generally allowed when I play.

i could be wrong, but I get the sense that he had a good relationship with McD. McD is always raving about how great he is.

I don’t think the bills would have to let him out, and he would be nuts to want to leave the current situation for that dumpster fire franchise.

I probably misspoke, so don’t blame the history channel!! I have no doubt that there were small pockets of places that knew pizza in the US. It appears that these areas sprouted around WW2. But the point I think was it wasn’t until 1960, when Pizza Hut was founded and took off, that pizza became a commodity and readily available throughout the entire country. It really caused pizza to explode in popularity and be made available for the masses. i suspect eventually this would have happened— but Pizza Hut was the first business with this idea and the idea to expand it so radically. FYI— here is the show: https://www.history.com/shows/the-food-that-built-america/season-2/episode-1

i have found Domino’s to be revolting. But then my very Italian neighbor who knows good food told me the same as you— whatever they are doing now, it is making the pizza a lot better. I still haven’t pulled the trigger on it though.
