This is a week I wish I could have multiple locks/lol. And as a Jaguar fan, I haven't stopped laughing yet at the fact that Mularkey is the coach now for Tennessee and Gabbert is starting in San Fran. Did these teams not see what happened in Jax when these two were there? Next, Gene Smith will be hired as GM by some foolish team.

And as a Jaguar fan, I haven't stopped laughing yet at the fact that Mularkey is the coach now for Tennessee and Gabbert is starting in San Fran.

Mularkey got a raw deal in Jacksonville. No new coach who inherited a bad 5-11 team could be expected to win in his first season. He just had the misfortune of getting a new AD who didn't want to inherit a coach.

But since he quit Buffalo as head coach when it hired new management, seeing him fired at Jacksonville by new management seemed like karmic justice.

Waiting for the oil burner repairman to come fix a leaking relief valve. Have about 6 other things that need to be done, but can't get to them unless I want to start swimming in my basement. Home ownership is such a wonderful thing. Time to entertain myself by making the picks.
