2022-2023 NFL Season

Shoulda been Nashville.  Roughly equidistant, outside but moderately temperate, give the folks a party.

That's not a bad call. I thought Pittsburgh would have been cool.

I knew they weren't going to put it outside. I kinda thought they would select Indianapolis cause its about halfway between. But my guess is that one of the reasons they chose Atlanta was because it's pretty easy to get to.

I think Indy didn't want it.

Well, yeah, I guess that is an assumption I shouldn't have made.

Am I being overly cynical if I view the Broncos interviewing David Shaw at the same time they received permission to interview Sean Payton as pretty regressive?

Regressive in what way?

That being said, I don't know how anyone in the NFL who watched how Stanford played the last decade would be interesting in one of the most conservative gunshy coaches of the 21st century.

It just seems like a brazen Rooney Rule interview.  There are a bunch of good minority candidates this cycle but most have teams still playing and may be tough to interview right now - Eric Bieniemy, Demeco Ryans, Leslie Frazier.  Calling David Shaw in quick before bringing in Sean Payton feels like something you do if you know you want to have an agreement with Payton before the end of his interview. 

As an aside - I don't even mean this entirely as a criticism of just the Broncos, it also speaks to the worst consequences of the Rooney Rule.  But for some reason David Shaw seems like a "oh come on" interview.

Fair play, that I can agree with.  Except for Bieniemy being a good candidate.

I'm hoping that if the Panthers don't keep Steve Wilks they hire Demeco Ryans. He seems like a real player's coach and a dynamic leader, and he sure has done a wonderful job with the Niners' D. Hard to believe he won't have a head-coaching gig somewhere next season.

It's not that hard to believe

NFL selecting Atlanta as the neutral site AFC championship site is lame (if the game needs to be played at a neutral site).

It'll be nice for fans to finally see what the inside of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium looks like

The more I think about it, they should have picked Lambeau, that would have been pretty awesome.

Ha. I get what you're saying, but he's a very hot name. I think he'll be an NFL head coach within a couple months.

Only if they bring back the guy who played the national anthem last week.  As Duval as Duval can be.

Happy Perfect Season Day, everybody.

50 years ago today, the Miami Dolphins beat Washington in SB7 to complete the only undefeated, untied, championship season in the history of North American professional sports.

And they've been insufferable ever since.

True. But don't worry ... they'll all be gone in the not-too-distant future.

I agree with this analysis

There is something to be said about not having to watch the 49ers do this to the Packers again

Sounds healthy.   Go decompress for a while.
