With his latest Pro Bowl selection, Jared Goff becomes just the 10th QB to be named to a 5th Pro Bowl in the 21st century.
He's also the 4th QB taken #1 overall to make it to 5, with the other three currently in the Hall of Fame. #OnePride

Thrilled for Sam Darnold! What a journey to get this point as a starter.
Another reminder that narratives can be destroyed and that the on-field story of a player isn't finished until their career is done.

McDaniel was my top choice, and I am skeptical of the Petzing hire.
But the guy hasn't even been introduced yet. He and Campbell deserve a chance to sell the hire to us. I've seen Campbell win over skeptics and Monty Williams create them in their introductions. (1/2)

These conference championship matchups should send a big message to Brad Holmes
Defense wins championships, and so does a good OL. The four remaining playoff teams are proof of that.

If I sorted Detroit coaching hires over the years by whether they excited or underwhelmed me, you would probably be thrilled about this hire. #OnePride
The Lions are hiring Drew Petzing as their offensive coordinator, sources tell me and @rapsheet.bsky.social
Petzing, 38, kept Arizona’s offense afloat this past season despite a rash of injuries, including at QB. Now, a huge opportunity with Detroit’s high-octane offense.

With Matthew Stafford and Sam Darnold reaching the NFC Championship game, Jared Goff will get a Pro Bowl invite as the 1st Alternate, which he could decline.
Would far rather he be in the NFC title game, but I'm hungry for anything positive. #OnePride

The QB play in this NFL playoffs might be some of the worst I've ever seen in the postseason. Feels like everyone is trying to outdoo-doo each other.
But it also helps make this one of the most thrilling and entertaining playoffs I've ever seen.

It's really tough to make a Super Bowl, as we see now with Josh Allen and the Bills falling short again.
I do think the guys who made it, but lost deserve a little more respect than they get (even if they stunk it up in the game itself). They still made it.

Prediction: If Ubisoft does indeed shadow drop the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, they'll start to market it as if it has yet to come out - essentially "reverse time" in its marketing as a clever attempt to draw attention. I doubt it would work. #gamersky
