Shedeur Sanders is probably too busy wondering if one of the worst rookie seasons in NFL history will cost him a roster spot in 2026.

Amazon’s ROI on Melania looking like my 2025 best ball ROI is not a great look for Beez and company.

Jon Gruden is maybe the most overrated coach in NFL history. He was mostly a meme.
Six winning seasons in a 15 year head coaching career and people act like Gruden is some guy teams would obviously benefit from having. Amazing.

One thing I can’t stop wondering is which team massively overpays for Alec Pierce?

Candidates who withdrew from the Browns’ head coaching job reportedly did so because they had to go to the bathroom.

Trump isn’t getting bad advice. He intentionally hired bad people to give him advice. Which should be the way it is be spun whenever there’s a chance. This is easy stuff, folks.
Firing Greg bovine is good, but can we stop with the “Trump is getting bad advice” crap? This is all on him. Stop making excuses

Briefly stepped to shovel the snow, I didn't have a chance to get to yesterday afternoon/evening due to life. I'm not sure I've ever encountered such thick, rock-solid snow in my life. I was using my neighbor's concrete shovel to pummel through about 5 inches.

There's just no way Rivers was actually a "serious" contender for the job. This is a guy who wanted to see what the process was like, and the Bills and Josh Allen obliged.

Kyren Williams is not good. Rhamondre Stevenson is not good. But man, coaches love the guys who do their job come hell or high water.
Kyren just isn’t good. I know McVay loves him though.

If the Patriots get playmakers at receiver, running back, and tight end, they might have a perennial contender for years to come.

You don't have to look too far to find a Commanders fan pointing out that Drake Maye "only had 86 passing yards." As if QBs just go out there and air it out in a blizzard vs. the no. 1 pass defense in the league.

Both teams were understandably going to be conservative here. The Broncos have some excuse, but the Patriots not letting Maye cook a little more, particularly in the first half, has been brutal. The 3rd and 6 run for a missed FG was brutal.
This has been a lowkey horribly coached game on the offensive side. Both teams have nothing, are making really questionable decisions. It's rough out there.
(Third straight NE game that's been one of the worst games of the playoffs.)

Per TruMedia, Drake Maye attempted just five passes of 10+ air yards. He completed one for 20 yards.

Outside of his 52-yard throw, Stidham is 8-of-14 passing for 42 yards with a compADOT of 2.0. The Patriots can't let this be what sends them home.
