Quote HistoryQuoted: I see three defining moments: The receiving corps completely drying up. Brady leaving in FA. Coach Scar retiring. I think Brady would have stayed if he had people to throw the damn ball to, and I think Scarnecchia would have stayed if Brady stayed. I think you are correct on all counts. Scar was a master O-line coach, which is probably the reason why they never took stud O-linemen in the draft and instead went for 2nd tier guys with the thinking that Scar would coach the entire line into a unit that was greater than the sum of its parts. Belichick may go down in history as the head coach with the greatest resume...but his record without Brady is starting to really pump the brakes on anything much beyond that. |

Texans GM Nick Caserio has been promoted to Executive Vice President. He will continue with his GM duties. Jack Easterby was the previous EVP and left last October. Caserio took over full control of football operations at that time, now he has the official title to go with it.
Climbing quick. He came over from New England just 2 seasons ago. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: ESPN is doing another talent purge. Layoffs include on-air talent for NFL, NBA and ESPN Radio coverage. Jeff Van GUndy and Jalen Rose are included in the first round. The morning radio show featuring Max Kellerman, Keyshawn Johnson and Jay Williams is being scrapped. Kellerman and Johnson are considered in jeopardy of being terminated and Williams' contract expires at the end of this summer. "Monday Night Football" pregame analyst Steve Young and host Suzy Kolber are also among those also considered to be in trouble. Meanwhile Pat signed his 5 year $85M deal with ESPN and his show will begin broadcasting on ESPN this fall. I bet Stephen A Smiff is still there…. |

Via Sports Illustrated: Kaepernick says he is still training 5-6 days a week. Says he can still easily throw over 60 yards. Still wants to play in the NFL.
"I'm going to keep pushing. I'm going to keep fighting for it because I know I can step on the field and play. Every workout, every opportunity I've had to show that, the feedback has always been positive. Everything from, 'He's still an elite player,' to 'The workout was great; it was better than expected.'" "When I had my workout with the Raiders last year, even training with guys, there's a decent amount of people who may have forgotten what I was capable of doing on the field, so any chance to be able to remind people of what I can do out there, I look forward to and embrace, and I look forward to the day that I get to step on the field and show people what I can do." "I've heard a lot of excuses over the years, but most of the time it ends up, 'Oh, we're going to see how the guys that we have do.' With the Raiders' situation last year, that was Stidham and Nick Mullens, which to me, you just compare r sum s and capabilities, on top of the workout and the feedback, it's like, 'O.K., cool.'" "Obviously, there's something else within this decision. To me, that's typically what it ends up being, or has been for the last seven years. So, I just want the opportunity to come in, show what I can do on the field. Judge me based upon that, not the political bias that you have." Dude is 36 this year. He hasn't played a snap of football in over 6 years. The last time he played he went 1-10. Yet he is still saying there are "obviously" other issues that are keeping him from an NFL job in 2023.  Dude will do and say anything to stay relevant. The victim card will continue to be bigger/better than anything he could do as a football player. |

Edit: They were both arrested and have both been charged with felony aggravated assault and strangulation. Haskins for the first incident on the 22nd and Makiah Green for the 2nd incident on the 29th. Both released on bond. They sound like a lovely couple. Story via Scoop Nashville: According to police records, Hassan Haskins observed his girlfriend 'like' an Instagram photo of another man at around Noon on June 22. The two argued, and she began to throw his shoes onto the floor, causing him to be angered and demand she stops touching his things. When she didn't stop, he reportedly pushed her to the ground, causing an injury to the back of her head. She says he then pulled her from the closet as she fought back and tossed her onto the bed, where he strangled her with both hands for approximately 10-15 seconds. Once he released her, the two exchanged slaps and continued fighting. He eventually threw her to the ground, where she fell atop a dog crate and was strangled a second time. He fled the home shortly after, and she took photos of bruises to her face, neck, and shoulder which she provided to police. Fast Forward to June 29, and Hassan and Makiah are at Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, eating dinner while discussing ending their relationship. He abruptly left the restaurant, leaving her to wait for an Uber to return home. She returned home to find Haskins already inside. She threw a glass at him, shattering it, and then locked herself inside their bedroom. She says Haskins kicked and punched through the door, breaking it in half, so he could enter. During the subsequent argument, she ripped a $5,000 chain from his neck, breaking it. Haskins then shattered her phone, which was on the nightstand. She then retrieved Haskins' old iPhone so she could call her mother. When she turned on the phone, she says the screen filled with notifications and messages from his Snapchat, and it was a barrage of naked women and chats with them. She then shattered that phone and then assaulted him physically, which she says was from being extremely upset. Makiah then retrieved a knife from the kitchen and moved toward the garage to slash the tires of his vehicle. Haskins reportedly cocked a gun and said, "I hope you would!" During an interview with police about the second incident, Haskins stated that she attacked him with a broom and strangled him from behind, threw his PS5 from upstairs, and put a hole in the wall. He provided a video of her with the broom during the second incident that showed her strangling and hitting him with the broom and throwing a bottle of water at him. He showed police a red bump on his back that he believed was caused by her assaulting him. |

Sources say that the Harris Commanders ownership group intend to keep Commanders President Jason Wright in place and allow him the opportunity to earn a continued role with the Commanders once the sale is finalized.
Not that surprising considering we're headed into the 2023 season anyways. Would be better to make a change at that position after the season. Similar to how the Broncos didn't completely part ways with Elway until after the season. |

Too many absolutely gorgeous women out there waiting to have his babies for him to stay with someone who makes him that angry… And she can easily find someone who won’t strangle her (un requested) or otherwise threaten to kill her |

I was in a crowded wait room today, I pulled up the ESPN app, and I was immediately greeted with an autoplayed video that had the title "Is Russell Wilson's career already Hall of Fame-worthy?"
I literally burst out laughing in the wait room. |

Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Vince Tobin, who in 1998 led the Cardinals to their first playoff win in 51 years, passed away this morning at the age of 79.
"Our deepest condolences go out to everyone who knew and loved Vince Tobin, and in particular his wife Kathy and their family," Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said in a statement. "As head coach of the Cardinals, his steady leadership was a constant and a big part of the success the team enjoyed during his tenure. "His football legacy with us is highlighted by the thrilling 1998 season, return to the postseason, and upset playoff win at Dallas. He will also be remembered for his instrumental role in key decisions like drafting Jake Plummer and Pat Tillman. More than that, he was a consummate family man and always a class act who positively impacted everyone he encountered." Tobin was DC for the Chicago Bears under Mike Ditka from 86-92. DC for the Indianapolis Colts from 94-95. HC for the Arizona Cardinals from 96-00. DC for the Detroit Lions in 01. Assistant for the Green Bay Packers in 04. He also spent a number of years coaching at Missouri and about a decade in the CFL and USFL. |

Via NFL.com:
Stefon Diggs' absence from the first day of mandatory minicamp last month caused a ruckus in Buffalo, a disturbance Bills star quarterback Josh Allen insists isn't a big deal. "The media has blown this so far out of proportion. We are in rookie or minicamp. We're not playing a game for four months. He doesn't show up for one day. He's still there. Coach asked him to go home. They're in talks. They're trying to resolve some things. It wasn't anything major. And (the) media blew it up. They're still talking about it. Let it go. There's no reason to continue talking about it." Mmm... To be fair, the head coach said he was "very concerned" about his absence to kick it all off and everyone interviewed about it made it sound like Diggs had an issue with his role on the team. That will get some media attention. But yes, it is only July. |

Ex-RB Corey Dillon rips Bengals' ring of honor selection process Story ESPN The Bengals' all-time leading rusher -- who once famously said he'd "flip burgers" during a contract dispute with the club -- took shots at how the team honors its former players. In an interview with The Athletic published Thursday, Dillon didn't hold back as he took umbrage with the process that features votes from season-ticket holders and suite holders. He said it was "garbage" and the selection should be done directly by the front office or a special committee. "This ain't a popularity contest," Dillon told the outlet. "This is football. You are going to put in somebody who is more popular than somebody who got stats? "Bengals are smart. I give it to them. We will put it in the hands of the season-ticket holders, so they don't have to take that backlash over who the voters are picking. That's bulls---. The s--- should come straight from the team. Half these season-ticket holder people never seen half of us play." I believe he's 100% right on this. |

He was NOT intelligent/resourceful enough to do something obvious like leave the country and flee to Mexico or something. Probably the costume gave him away, if he had been a Miami fan he would have never been recognized

This season is going to be kind of weird with no Tom Brady. The last time Brady did not play a snap in an NFL season, Bill Clinton still had two years left of his presidency.

Via the NFLPA: The Rooney Suggestion: How the "Rule" Has Failed to Defeat Systemic and Institutional Barriers to Fair and Equitable Hiring Practices in the NFL and Recommendations for Meaningful Reform
By DeMaurice Smith (Executive Director of the NFLPA) 104 pages long... https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/website/Departments/Executive/The-Rooney-Suggestion.pdf Introduction: The National Football League (NFL) and its member teams have failed to implement any policies, including the Rooney Rule, that are capable of effectuating sustainable racial and gender diversity in their coaching and executive ranks. This article presents a list of reforms the NFL should and must make to rectify years of deliberate inaction and argues that - given the lack of internally driven effective change - federal, state and local governments should exercise their lawful oversight capacity to ensure reform. It also analyzes and addresses the NFL and its teams' unfair hiring practices and presents a stark record of these practices, untethered from the myths and untruths perpetuated by the League and its defenders. It reviews the construct of the NFL's operations; assesses the NFL's failure to diversify; evaluates the history and failure of the Rooney Rule; presents results from a confidential survey of current and former coaches of color; reviews hiring decisions and rationales presented by NFL owners; examines strategies the NFL uses to insulate team owners from accountability; and identifies potential legal and oversight-based claims that could be pursued by various stakeholders, including current, former, and prospective coaches, government entities, former and current players, and the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) against the League and its teams. As demonstrated below, we believe that the evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that the lack of diversity in the NFL coaching and executive ranks is not an accident but rather the result of a deliberate - or deliberately indifferent - policy of control exerted by the NFL owners.  |

Lombardi dropping more headlines on Pat's show (from Friday). This time claiming that the Rams tried, "with a lot of effort" to trade Stafford this off-season.
"When his option bonus was getting ready to kick in, they attempted, with a lot of effort, to trade him - any team could have had him. The problem was, you had to absorb the $59 million, and the Rams knew there was no way around the $59 million. They couldn't get around it unless they traded him and somebody else took it," Lombardi stated. Edit: On March 17th Stafford's option bonus ($26M) and 2024 salary ($31M) became guaranteed. Combined with his minimum salary this season, you hit $58.5M, which is the $59M Lombardi is talking about. Which covers 2023 and 2024. With all that going guaranteed, the Rams are sitting on a $111.5M deadcap on Stafford this season. |

Coaching staffs are chock full of black guys, HC & assistants alike. Co-ordinators as well. WTF do they want, a NBA-like league where it's 95% black, players & coaches? NBA ratings are not far from the pre-Bird/Magic rookie season from what I've read. In short, it's in the shitter. Is that what these NFLPA idiots want? |
