It's pretty ridiculous given the circumstances of their move from Houston to Nashville.

It is absolutely ridiculous. They were the Oilers for two seasons, one of which was played in Memphis.

Okay, so they were the Tennessee Oilers for two years and one was played in Memphis while a stadium was built. How is that not a throwback uniform then?  ;D

Ridiculously great catch by JSN.

Matt Patricia still doing his best to keep the Lions from clinching a playoff spot.

You can have Ben Johnson.... for $15 million per.    Wow.   For someone who has never been a head coach anywhere and.nobody had heard of 3 years ago.   Who ponies up?   And what does that do to the coaching market this offseason?

Tepper literally doesn't give a sh!t about money. So if that's Ben Johnson's price and if Tepper wants him ... welcome to your new Panthers coach.

The "great man" theory of coaching rarely works.

Agreed.   But that is always the dream.

Cause hiring one guy is easier than building a competent organization from the top down.

Worst GB draft ever?

Pretty close. Only pick with remembering is Johnny Holland, who had a nice, but completely serviceable career as a player. Won a ring on the '96 staff.

So on NBC they were talking about who the Chargers should hire as their GM, and Tony Dungy mentions Bill Polian. Yeah...81 year old Bill Polian who last worked in the league in 2011 and thinks Lamar Jackson should have been a wide receiver. Great thought Tony. 🙄🙄🙄

Tony Dungy hasn't been right about just about anything in the past 15 years

Out of touch studio commentator who likely has very little correspondence with NFL front offices  anymore picks his last GM from when he was still involved in the actual day to day of an NFL team...it tracks.

Giff Smith looks like, and his name sounds like, an auto generated Madden coach.

From The Athletic:

Austin Karp, the ratings expert from Sports Business Journal, and Anthony Crupi, the viewership expert from Sportico, passed along some updated viewership numbers: NFL games are averaging 17.48 million viewers this season across TV and digital platforms excluding international games. That's about an 8 percent year-over-year increase from this time last year. "Monday Night Football" is up 24 percent over last year (a direct result of more games on ABC) and Amazon is up 23 percent. NBC is averaging 21.8 million viewers — the best "Sunday Night Football" viewership number at this point since 2015. (All sports have gotten a boost from better accounting for out-of-home viewership in places like bars and restaurants and viewing parties.) What's worth noting, as Crupi points out, is an NFL viewership increase is an impressive lift given there is an overall 8 percent decline in U.S. TV usage this fall.

As Douchey predicted, the NFL is doomed.

Heisey is the George Costanza of predictions. It's best to do the opposite.

I'm already pissed at myself for not investing in DIS on Sept. 8, when he derisively challenged people to buy it. It's up 12% since then, almost double SPY.
