Avalanche trades Mikko Rantanen to Carolina Hurricanes as part of blockbuster three-team deal
GM Eric Tulsky is saying how they are already in negotiations with Rantanen's agent, but will probably take a while to hammer out a deal. He's very optimistic right now. Us fans had a feeling something was going to happen because the team was making roster changes almost daily in an effort to free up what little cap space they had.
The Canes do have close to $40 million in cap space starting this summer and I don't think that's taking future cap space increases that will more than likely occur this summer into account.

I think you're right, NoMich, generally the team that gets the best player wins the trade. It's an expensive rental if that's what it turns into, but you have to roll the dice.

Us Canes fans are all pretty much pooping ourselves from excitement over this trade. Sucks to lose Necas and Drury, but we're getting the best player of the trade. Plus, the Hurricanes have about $5,000,000,000 in cap space starting this summer so I can see them re-signing Rantanen to a huge deal. Plus, we got Taylor Hall pretty much for free.

I'm not on Bluesky yet, but all Jags fans should be on Cloud 9.
After having HC candidates decline interest in the Jacksonville job due to the front office situation, Shad Khan finally woke up late and "parted ways" with Trent Baalke.
Too bad it happened after other teams made their moves and took good coaches off the board.
I'm hoping that Putin puts Baalke in charge of the invasion of Ukraine.

I was hoping that the Buffalo Bills would make the most of a snow game and come out in white helmets, jerseys and pants. Make the Ravens wear the dark colors.
But the Bills will be in their standard blue jerseys with white helmets and pants. No color camo trick plays a la Boise State.
It turns out that the Bills are 8-0 this year in the blue jerseys, but only 1-2 in their all white sets. Going with what brung 'em.

Beloved Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker has died
Bob Uecker is the broadcaster that I have spent the most time with in my life, and by a country mile. As a kid, I used to sit by the radio listening to day games because they usually weren't on TV. Later on, if I was fishing, or shooting hoops, or driving to one of my own baseball games, the radio was always on. With Uecker it was always just so conversational that it just felt like he was there with you and I have never had a remotely similar relationship with any other broadcaster. I'll miss him dearly

No Park City Michael Jordan pizza for me. I'm sticking with Detroit style pizza in honor of the playoffs and the return of the RB who can carry 5 men on his back, David Montgomery.
I got a proper Detroit pizza pan, have an old kitchen mixer with a bread hook to make the dough, but I need a 550 degree oven and mine only goes to 500.
I'll give it a try at 500. If it sucks, my Greek pals down the street said I can walk in with a pizza ready to cook in the pan and they'll bake it in their commercial pizza oven.
If that works, we'll stand there and sample it all the way down on the spot and if I want do it again, I'll have to make 2 pies, one for them, one for me.
Best scenario is: They love it, I show them how to do it, tell them where to get the pans and then just order Detroit style off their menu. It won't have the right kind of cheese on it, but it will be close.

The Darnold thing has been coming for a little while. He was barely getting the ball out before being sacked in prior weeks. Bug eyes and happy feet. His OL must be gassed.
Last night there was a swell of chatter about the Cowboys poaching Belichick from UNC but folks close to Dallas said Jerry would never pay the $10 mil. buyout.
Belichick made $20 mil. a year as HC of the Pats. He could probably cover the buyout if he wanted to go to Dallas.

Looks like it's going to be (another) Lake Effect Snow Week in Western NY this week.
Game conditions at the Bills stadium could be interesting.
Both teams are capable of putting up 200 + yards of rushing.
The template of the Pats beating the Bills in a Buffalo maelstrom while throwing only three passes hasn't left the minds of game planners.
The Ravens are a bit deeper and deadlier in the run game. Two great OC's. Should be good.

New England Patriots Hire Mike Vrabel
His firing by that franchise is widely regarded as a major blunder.
The Titans hiring the one-two combo of Whisenhunt and Mularkey prior to Vrabel is the type of decision making that would make the Khan-Baalke juggernaut as we know it deeply envious.
I doubt Vrabel would have chosen the Jags, roster regardless, because the team has gone 62-144 in the post-Del Rio ownership tenure of Shad Khan, who is the sole owner. The team's consistent ineptitude falls squarely on him. There's no doubt that Khan wants to be competitive. He just doesn't know how. When you continue to retain a GM who has been through four coach firings and was previously fired himself, you're in the John Mara - Jerry Jones Clueless Owners Club.
However, Vrabel is not all that much better off going to the Pats, as the Krafts are also sole owners and their recent history is that of varsity bumblers. But the team has a legacy of glory that they're driven to recapture, which counts for something.
For those who think that sole ownership isn't a factor, note that when the Walton ownership group bought the Broncos, they made some hellacious initial mistakes due to having far more money than experience but have quickly recovered to become competitive despite massive cap hits, having to pay most of Russel Wilson's salary, etc. Sean Payton wouldn't have signed on with that group if he thought they were going to be terminally inept.
(In all fairness, John Mara is not a sole owner, but his name is always the one attached to the fortunes of the Giants franchise. Maybe the Tisch family needs to begin weighing in more. They know what success is supposed to look like. They've built a prodigious multi-generational family empire).

If LeBron James hadn't taken his skills to South Beach, this scenario might be playing out in Cleveland, but Bronny James would be way less likely to ever see the court with this year's Cavs than this year's Lakers.

Will Howard made some throws into openings about the size of a cat door last night.

Fixed. I thought I had everybody because there were 12 quarterbacks, but Jared Goff was in there despite Detroit's bye.

I remember suggesting a looooooong time ago that Michigan should go after Jim Harbaugh and was told that there was no way that he would go back there. Well...

Marcus Freeman was Paul Rudd levels of likeable during that game. I'd say I would run through a wall for him but he'd stop me from doing that and teach me tackling technique.

I keep torturing NoMich. I may have to set him up with an emotional support biscuits and gravy voucher.
