I so wanted the Panthers to pull that game out, and they damn near did.
I really like the ball that Bryce Young throws, the way it comes out and the trajectory. Him and Stroud and Maye. Watching those guys spin it doesn't get old.
John Harbaugh was very smart not to rush into a new job, especially after what happened to the Packers last night. Now we'll see about the Bills.

Bob Weir shuffled off to deadhead heaven. I bet Howard was a huge deadhead and spent the entirety of the 1960s following them on the road, selling homemade bean burritos to pay for it all. All of the spammers on this site were all deadheads in the 1990s and depending on trust funds to pay for their life on the road.

Last night's Peach Bowl reminded me a bit of the Broncos-Seahawks Super Bowl.
One team shows up in bright colors and is effed from the first snap. Blowout ensues.

As a former Florida boy, I wanted Ole Miss to win.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Golding's staff looks like in the fall.
Cristobal is now well ahead of UF and FSU with recruiting the state given the Canes performance.
I'm fiendishly amused by stories hinting that Kiffin could be fired for cause in the Demond Williams saga.
If Ole Miss had won the title and Kiffin suddenly found himself gone from his dream job, I would consider the world to be not such a bad place after all.
(Except the only dream job that Kiffin has is being Kiffin).

Dolphins are in sort of the same situation Denver was in.
They fired Hackett and cut Russ Wilson. They ate a ton of dead cap.
The difference being that the Broncos' new ownership group had a GM that turned out to be worth hanging onto (Paton) when the villagers were out with the pitchforks. It was courageous of them to ignore the yelling and move forward with Paton.
Those owners learned well and learned fast. Look how quickly they got to the top of the conference after that body blow.
Stephen Ross is a Geppetto puppet compared to the Denver ownership. He doesn't have a GM and if he eats Tua's salary, he doesn't have the acumen to figure out how to recover from a setback like that.
Sometimes I wish the NFL had relegation. But more often, I wish it had owner banishment.

/Looks at Tua's salary.
Oof, there's not much to do there with that situation? The Dolphins can't just say 'screw it, cut him anway!'?

John Harbaugh is gone.
It's not a huge surprise, but I think enough of him to hope that he doesn't go from one of the better owners in Bisciotti to someone like Mark Davis, Strunk, or Mara.
In a sane world, he would surely attract more interest as a HC than the likes of Joe Brady or Kliff Kingsbury.
If I were Harbaugh, I would take a big deep breath and let out a sigh of relief with the realization that I no longer had to try to figure out how to win deep into the postseason with Lamar Jackson.

Do owners of dysfunctional teams care if they win or not?
They don't have to.
When the Giants ownership began packing the front office with family members 12 years ago, the franchise was worth $2.1 billion.
Today, it is worth over $7.3 billion despite all the misery the Giants have inflicted on their fans.
Winning and losing doesn't matter. Net worth skyrockets no matter what.
No one has been better at making money while disregarding the realities of the struggle for competitiveness than Jerry Jones.

I think the economics of being a HC or coordinator have risen to the point where guys out of a job can afford to pick their spots, be selective, and not rush headlong to the next gig no matter how flawed.
I feel bad for minority coaches who may feel an obligation to take a job to continue the push for greater opportunity around the league even though they know it's not a good situation. How many guys wanted to work for Dan Snyder when Ron Rivera took the Washington job? Or Stephen Ross when Flores took the Dolphins job? Or Woody Johnson when the Jets hired Aaron Glenn? Etc., etc.
What I'm hoping to see is more Liam Coen action. "I've never been a HC and I want to be one real bad, but I'm sure as hell not working for Trent Baalke. You get him gone, then we can talk". Some owners (like Khan) have to be led to the water.
When two or three good HC candidates tell John Mara they can't work with Joe Schoen under any circumstances, maybe he'll get his head out of the cotton candy machine and get a decent GM.
The Titans are going to end up with a string of more Mularkeys the way they're going. Who would want to work for that organization at this point?
All told, there are around 9 teams in the league that should consider themselves lucky if someone like Mike McCarthy even took their phone call.

Now that Eli Manning is under consideration for the HOF, I wish the folks making the decision would go way back into the SpoFi archives, where we discussed in depth and ad nauseum whether or not Eli was elite.
All the points of argument are there, pro and con. Hall voters don't have to do any soul searching; they can just read what we opinionated blowhards said on the subject back when Eli was still in the league and hadn't started getting comfortable with tacos and Toyotas.

I have two questions: 1. Does this begin a collapse of LIV, if the other pros convince Rahm et al. to come back, and rob the LIV circuit of much of its star power? 2. Does Koepka keep his $100 million sign-on fee? At the time, it was mentioned that those huge initial payments were lump-sum....
