A good front office makes the most effective use of its assets to put a competitive team on the field. The Rams somehow figured out how to gank the salary cap to get a team full of all-stars without taking chances through the draft. They're the only team to use that strategy and they got a championship out of it. The Niners clearly emulated them when they traded their draft future away for Trey Lance and Christian McCaffrey.Quote:

Chase Claypool to the Bears for a 2nd round pic next year?
I understand the strategy and I guess it makes sense but unfortunately the verdict is still out on Lance. Although, so far they are getting their money's worth with McCaffrey.Quote:

I think the Steelers have a great front office because the owners don't seem to interfere too much and are quite loyal to their people. I like that!
It was time for Big Ben to go. shrugs
Wow! Didn't think they would pull the trigger on Claypool. I bet Fields is happy. LOLQuote:

This might get really good really soon.
The Falcons traded Calvin Ridley to the Jaguars. I really wanted him back, but I can understand he needed a change of scenery. God bless him in his future endeavors.
Chase Claypool is now a Chicago Bear. Just in time to play the Dolphins. Pittsburgh gets a 2nd round pick. This trade alone doesn't indicate they're rebuilding, but the fact that they're selling instead of buying might indicate they're looking more to the future than toward success in 2022.
EDIT: Scratch that notion. Steelers traded with WFT for cornerback William Jackson, so suggestions of throwing in the towel should be disabused.
Well, we're half way through the season so I'm guessing Tomlin thinks he can make some noise. As the saying goes, It ain't over til the fat lady sings.
But check this out....
This is the most succinct and hilarious recap of a game I’ve read in awhile...and accurate too:D

The Falcons beat the Panthers in a crazy game. If you're wondering just how crazy it got, by my count, it was the only game from Week 8 that had:
• A 62-yard Hail Mary touchdown
• Someone getting flagged for taking their helmet off while celebrating the Hail Mary
• A missed game-winning extra point that was attempted from 48 yards due to the flag on the Hail Mary
• The ugliest overtime interception you'll ever see
• A missed game-wining field goal attempt in overtime from 32 yards away that was missed by the same guy who missed the extra point after the Hail Mary
• A kicker showing mercy to everyone by ending the game with a field goal in overtime, but not the same kicker who missed the extra point and the 32-yard field goal
Big Ben should have gone earlier than he did IMHOQuote:

Good. The police and prosecutor were trying not to charge him until the case went viral. Sounds like he still got off easy, though. If I recall correctly, he previously spent time in prison for a DUI and when he got out, his father gave him a job with the Eagles. Looks like privilege has its limits.
Yeah, I guess my point was that they should have had his replacement on roster two years ago in anticipation of his leaving. They always manage to do that with their receivers, running backs, and defensive players. Ben said that there were some in the organization that wanted him to quit sooner and were unhappy that he came back for his last two seasons. Not having his replacement on roster was a mistake unless they honestly believed Haskins and/or Rudolph was capable of being an effective starter.Quote:

The prosecution of Britt Reid's case wanted another year in prison for him. Plus, a plea from the dead person's family. But to no avail. With his alcohol history I'd say not enough.
So, Dan Snyder has started the process of selling his Football Team.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...ommanders-sale
Yes...you beat me to it:cool::cool:
But I'm asking: why now? Is the evidence against Snyder damning that much?
I think he said something like a complete sale or some minority stake?
Both of your thoughts?
I think he underestimated how most of the owners made their money. He thought he could scare some of the scariest men in America and somebody probably let him know that attempting to extort them was likely to work out badly for him. Financially and personally. In the end, they're more than willing to make sure nobody ever again thinks poking around for dirt is a good idea.
Ha! How in the world do you scare a Jerry Jones or a Robert Kraft? Really? These guys [along with Eddie DiBartolo whose daughter took over at first] have been around a long time & Snyder hasn't.
Good answer, Jerry.
My wild guess is, he skated on the leagues initial independent investigation but has been advised he may not get passed the other two investigations.Quote:
Snyder and the franchise he's owned since 1999 are currently the subject of separate ongoing investigations by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform and former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White, who is conducting a new review on behalf of the NFL, concerning allegations of workplace misconduct and potential unlawful financial conduct.
The separate investigations come on the heels of the league's initial independent investigation by attorney Beth Wilkinson's firm, which found Washington's workplace culture to be toxic. Snyder and the team were fined $10 million, and the league said he turned day-to-day operations over to wife Tanya, but no written report of Wilkinson's findings was released.
Only time will tell how it finally plays out.
I was only mildly interested in the TNF game until I realized the historical significance of two teams from the same city playing in a baseball game [World series] and NFL game. So I think I'll take a nap so I can root for the Astros and Texans. LOL
:cool:
I would only want to see if Philly can hold being undefeated, Ms M.
The way the Texans look it's entirely possible.
Oops. I forgot about the game. I have Dallas Goedert and Mark Andrews as my tight ends on my fantasy football team. Andrews had one target two weeks ago and then got hurt last week. I'm sure he'll be a "gametime decision" for Monday night's game. The way my luck runs, he'll play if I bench him and sit if I start him, so I have to start Goedert, who's projected for 10 points while Andrews is projected to make almost 15.
One day, I'll learn.
Thoughts so far...
Texans look better than I expected. I love their candy apple red helmets and random thought, sorry PC police but I thought JJ's Halloween costume was hilarious and I'm not a JJ fan!
More thoughts to come....LOL
Well, I'm very happy with my decision to start Dallas Goedert tonight. Very happy, indeed.
The Astros won, there's that!:rolleyes:
I lost all interest in baseball when my Mets were eliminated. But from afar, it looks like the World Series is very competitive this year. Maybe I'll get back into MLB next season. I'm eagerly looking forward to Monday, when college hoops returns.
The BIG GAME in these parts is Tennessee vs. Georgia tomorrow. I past one of UT's stores & they were selling everything football fast! I would like to see them do it. :cool:
I haven't been into baseball since Deion Sanders was playing for the Braves. LOLQuote:

Go Vols!! Beat Georgia!!!!!!!
Sorry Moe, it's going to take a miracle for Tenn to win this one.
No miracle today at all, Ms M. They just didn't come to play.
That's the way the season is going for me.......:p
Hasn't been a lot of good games today. Rooting for Notre Dame to beat Clemson and I almost always want the Irish to lose.
Dusty Baker has a world championship. Good for him.
Just walked in. Shout out to Dusty Baker and the Astros. YEAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!
Miami vs. Bears. THIS looks like it's going to be a really good game.
Oh dear. Blocked kick, I see ya Miami. :cool:
Someone riddle me this. James Brown, 71 years old and hair as black as coal????:eek:
OH MY....Justin Fields, 61 yard run for the TD!
Ugghhh… Miami gives up those plays in every game. Gave up three against the Ravens. This is why we can’t have good things.
Calm down, it's not over yet but it's a damn good game!!
