I do recall everyone in the national media talking about the cabin thing like he'd gone to the Yukon to train. Everyone around here recognized where he was and laughted at the fact that he was like 30 mins from downtown Milwaukee.

Yeah, I guess I get that the JJW brand is insufferable, but at this point in his career (and for like the last 3 years or so), he's been irrelevant on the field. People ought to pay him a commensurate amount of attention.

When my football playing kid was younger. I tried talking him into buying the Watt reebok shoes, solely b/c they were cheaper.  He didn't go for it.

Here's a fun little nugget from The Athletic:

At 44, Tom Brady is older than all his opposing coaches left in the NFC playoff bracket: Packers coach Matt LaFleur (42), 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan (42) and Rams coach Sean McVay (35) are all younger. Absurd.

He also has as many wins against NFC teams in the playoffs as Aaron Rodgers.  That said, I think that changes this weekend

I hope you're right. It would be hard to stomach another Brady Super Bowl.

Its interesting, I'm finding myself less resistent to the idea of another Brady Super Bowl than I have been in the past.  Personal feeling only, of course, and I'm not sure why, but at this point I'm certainly no more interested in seeing the Niners or Rams than the Bucs.

No way, IMO.  Niners, I'm still oddly interested in the continued Shanahan redemption.  He's been super up and down, mad baffling choices and decisions as a HC beyond just his Falcons folly, but he's still only 42.  I think he's got some success in his future and what he's been doing with Deebo is incredibly fun to watch.

And the Rams, chance to see if McVay learned anything from his previous SB shellacking and if Stafford can truly get it done.

Both of those are far more interesting than douchey Brady and a Bucs team I don't particularly care for outside of Mike Evans

#Colts assistant GM Ed Dodds informed the #Bears he’s withdrawing his name from their GM search, per source.

I wonder if that has anything to do with a report by Michael Lombardi this morning who said he talked to several candidates who told him the Bears weren't asking the right questions in the interviews.

I know, it Lombardi, but....

Dodds has been connected to the Raiders job. However, he seems to be connected to pretty much any GM opening these days. Also, he has pulled out of and/or declined interviews in previous off-seasons with both the Panthers and the Browns.

Could the Bears screw this up? Of course. Would I trust Mike Lombardi on this, no.

and yet at the time he was an 8 year vet of CBS Sports and a graduate of Miami (OH). Journalism sure has gone downhill and it's only getting worse.

Bucs have too many injuries on offensive line . Brady will be under fierce pressure from The Rams and will not get much done offensively. I think Stafford and Rams will put you out of your Bucs misery.

Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

It would be fun to watch Aaron Donald & Co. sitting on Brady's chest all game long.

Maybe when he tries to choke Brady he’ll finally get penalized for it.

Brady is never under "fierce pressure."  The ball comes out way too quick.

Usually.  The Eagles were able to apply pressure and so was Carolina in Week 18.

That’s always been the way to beat him.  That’s how the Giants did it in both Super Bowls and how the Ravens and Broncos beat him in AFC title games.  The Rams can get to the QB.

Most quarterbacks can be rattled by pressure up the middle, particularly if generated with a 4 man rush.

I think the Bucs will employ a lot of 3 tight end sets to try and set up their run game. Hopefully that will keep the Rams from teeing off on the weakened Bucs offensive line.

Did you watch the saints game? He gets the ball out quick, but he can be rattled with pressure. He doesnt like to be hit so he will throw up some picks if he gets pressure. That's usually the formula to beat him.

You are correct though he has a quick release and knows how to get it out quick.

Packers injury report will be interesting for Saturday.

Cobb activated off the IL
MVS doubtful
Bak questionable
Billy Turner will be back
Jaire, Z and Mericilus could all be back too.

Lots of rust in some of these guys but that's a lot of impact players who have not been in the grind for quite some time and could be fresh.
