    Utah Jazz.   They stole NO team.  New Orleans Jazz perfect name.  NO birthplace of jazz, and lively jazz scene.  Utah is pretty white.  Not only is Utah thieves for stealing NO team, they are lazy thieves.  They didn't even bother to change name

    Takes a lot of 'jazz' to have 5 wives...what, that's not the word I am looking for? 🤔

    As for the lawsuit, after attorney fees are deducted, enough for 4 beers and a soft pretzel.

    Wonderlic Test Eliminated from Pre-Draft Process

    Yep.  Although I personally believe Lamar and his mother were “crazy like a fox” with the whole draft process.  

     

    I think they wanted Lamar to be drafted in the first round for the contract guarantees, but they actually did not want him to be drafted very high.  Why?  Because typically, being drafted high means you are gonna go to a bad team and there will be struggles.  Lamar worked on stuff that mattered to them, like improving his footwork and passing and his ability to assess a defense and call appropriate plays.  Lamar didn’t work on stuff that didn’t matter to them.

     

    There were a whole pile of things at the time - the lack of prep for the Wonderlic and the low score, also Lamar’s instagram account had some eyebrow-raising stuff - nothing explicit but quoting dope-related lyrics and stuff like that ( @BadLandsMeanie drew this to my attention, I wasn’t following Lamar).  Nothing that would knock him out of the first round, but just enough to lower his stock a bit.

     

    At the time there was various tsk-tsk-ing about how Jackson was costing himself draft slots and corresponding $$ that an agent could have helped them bring in, but I personally think Mama Jackson and Lamar felt he would get enough money on his first contract and have a better chance at a more lucrative 2nd contract if he went to a team with a proven coach, good players, and a winning culture in place.  The Ravens checked all the boxes.

    So, by 'sandbagging' the Wonderlic, and projecting a bit of 'bad boy', he accomplished exactly what he was looking for.

    Meanwhile, Josh Rosen's off season tennis lessons aren't the draw he thought they might be.

    This puzzles me.  Since the players as I understand it are allowed to eat what they want on site for breakfast and lunch, and to take meals of whatever size they want home (the Bills had a piece on this a couple years back detailing how many to-go dinners they had) as well as for the guys who are trying to keep weight on, smoothies and midnight snacks and such - what does “stole cafeteria food” mean exactly?

    It might well mean all us fishes were trawled up in that big net of the parody Twitter account.

    Nagy OUT in Chicago. 

    PERFECT  opportunity for a Chicago radio station to hold a 'YOU coach da Bears' contest.  I think the only one left from those skits is George Wendt.

    Rashaad Penny would fit nicely with the Bills’ offense.

    The Bills could bring in Penny as a Beasley replacement and call the package Penny Slots.

     

    The Bills could put Penny in to defend late game Hail Mary attempts and hope for a Penny Pinch.

     

    The Bills could pair Penny with a bruising fullback and call that package In for a Penny in for a Pound.

     

    Maybe bring in James Conner as well and we can call the backfield JC Penny.

     

    Ultimately I'm just not sure bringing in Penny makes much Cents.

    Hollywood is on line 2.  They want to talk to you about developing a script for 'Airplane 3'.

    Remember when marrone purposely stopped throwing to Watkins his rookie year so he didn’t get to 1000 yards because he wanted to make the pick look bad to reflect poorly on Whaley?

    There's a number of ex Bills execs and coaches that if I heard they fell into the cardboard compactor, I would be tempted to hit the 'ON' switch.
