The way things are going, I'm not sure that Chucky will ever coach a Raiders game in Vegas.

His return to Oakland sort of reminds me of Earl Weaver's second tour of duty with Baltimore in 1985. Except this is much worse.

Have to give Gruden credit for hitting the mark when he was still working at his real job, though. On his QB Camp show in 2017, he reviewed that year's draft class and said that the guy he would want on his team was Mahomes.

Meanwhile, fellow 2017 QB Camper Nathan Peterman continues to waste the athletic prime of every Bills fan in their mid to late 20's.

Those jerseys are fantastic. Whoever designed them really knows his business.

I'm never the guy who complains about a new safety rule in football.

The new rules for quarterbacks are getting out of hand when a Chiefs tackler is letting go of Tom Brady because he might have thrown the ball, letting him score a rushing TD, for fear that any kind of tackle in that situation would bring a flag.

If Tim Hortons sold those and a % of the proceeds went to charity (Kenyan and Canadian), I would be hard pressed to NOT snatch up one for myself,

For the love of Pete, how does this guy still have a job? I was hoping with Karmanos no longer being around that the org would finally show Tracy the door, but nope, he's still around, giving us dime store deep thoughts like this every game. He's like a low rent Thomas Friedman (but still just as "insightful"). And now I got to hear this dude on the radio as well since they are just doing a simulcast nowadays.

So evidently I must be of good character. At least my 2013 F-150 crew cab says so.
