    BB's next job (a.k.a. Steve Belichick's next next job)

    One only needs to look at the assistants potentially following him to UNC - son Steve, other son Matt Patricia, Josh mcdaniels’ brother - to see why he doesn’t have opportunities available to him in the NFL. Whatever staffing magic he had 15-20 years ago has completely dried up.

    2024 Jets: Out of the Darkness - Take 2

    I don't know? It seems like Dan Campbell is pretty good at managing up - I could see him getting Woody to buy in to the vision and not being so meddlesome. It's not like ownership in Detroit is easy.

    2024 Jets: Out of the Darkness - Take 2

    Not sure what you're looking for in the next coach, then. Plenty of Ben Johnson's (hot young O coordinators) have been hired as HC's and then turned out to suck - look at Adam Gase with the Jets, or Josh McDaniels... anywhere. Any archetype of coach is going to look stupid on the downside. Even...

    2024 Jets: Out of the Darkness - Take 2

    I think you're overlooking the fact that Dan Campbell is a guy who coaches want to work for and players want to play for. He got Ben Johnson to stay when we can confidently say he got interest from a lot of other teams this past offseason. Also, it seems like Campbell has some influence in the...

    Goats vs Colts

    Not even half the board wanted them to pick Maye there: https://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/what-do-you-want-pats-to-do-with-3.41894/ Go into the thread, read all of the reporting at the time about the alternatives. They could've traded with the Giants, they could've traded with the...

    Goats vs Colts

    I can't believe his interview process was impressive enough to hire him. These quotes are so galactically stupid. "...You're coaching to have a chance to win at the end of the game..." but then his own stupid coaching decisions cause them to lose the games they actually have a chance to win...

    NBA Cup 2024 discussion & gamethread: It's On. We'll Watch.

    There are tens of thousands of posts in this forum disagreeing on NBA team decisions like trades and draft picks, calling GMs morons and coaches idiots etc. But if you disagree about the decisions of the league itself, you must be an unhappy person? Okay, that’s a reasonable take. I love the...

    NBA Cup 2024 discussion & gamethread: It's On. We'll Watch.

    Man, I like you as a poster, but this is so condescending. My mistake for having a contrary opinion on the Emirates Cup. God forbid I disagree with the business and marketing decisions of a sports league.

    NBA Cup 2024 discussion & gamethread: It's On. We'll Watch.

    The NBA cup itself doesn’t make me mad, what makes me annoyed are the people who act like you’re out of your mind if you view it with a critical eye…

    NBA Cup 2024 discussion & gamethread: It's On. We'll Watch.

    “costing the league nothing” is taking on a lot of assumptions. I listen to basketball podcasts. I read this forum. I watch a good amount of games when I can. I am, conservatively, in the top 5-10% of NBA fans when it comes to love of the game, maybe even higher, and even I find this annoying...

    NBA Cup 2024 discussion & gamethread: It's On. We'll Watch.

    Do you ever talk to normal people who aren’t super into basketball? Do you ever interact with someone who’s just casually watching? Have you ever tried to explain to your wife why the court looks stupid, what the Cup is, and why the Celtics, who are winning over 80% of their games, might not...

    Patriots WRs

    These are almost identical to Justin Jefferson’s numbers save for the 40 time (though he beats JJ on the 10 yard split)

    NBA Cup 2024 discussion & gamethread: It's On. We'll Watch.

    It’s easy to follow for people who are already really invested in the sport. It’s not easy to follow for average fans who are not day to day with this stuff. Like, you’re spelling out a scenario where potentially the two best teams thus far this season won’t even make the “quarterfinals” of this...

    Miami GOAT thread

    Yes. I’m trying hard to find many posters who wanted the current regime. What I’m pushing back against is pining for more seasons of post-Brady belichick. We’d probably be watching a team go 7-11 with Kirk Cousins right now.

    Miami GOAT thread

    This is a great summation about why they had to get rid of Belichick. He had munchausen by proxy with this roster - the only person who could cure the averageness of the players was him (just forget that he was the guy who couldn’t hit more than a single in the draft for nearly a decade). He was...

    2024-2025 Sixers: Maxey-mizing or Minimizing?

    But just think - if they didn’t sign him to this extension, he might threaten to not play.

    General NBA season thread: 24-25 edition

    Giddey falls into the Ben Simmons bucket for me (though obviously less athletically gifted). All the playmaking is not very helpful to teams who want to win if it doesn’t come with shotmaking. It’s just hard to fit that kind of a weakness on a true contender. Since he can’t shoot, he has to be a...

    Patriots WRs

    I don’t think Thornton will help them, but JJSS and Nuke Hopkins are not speed guys. I also don’t think Rice fits this mold, either. I think their “healthy” WR room makes a lot more sense because Hollywood would get most of these worthy snaps, and XW could have a year to become that guy.

    Patriots WRs

    You're conveniently leaving out that they have Patrick Mahomes as well.
