(I think Minnesota was well-coached and certainly has impactful talent, but if they go with McCarthy, I don't think 14 wins is where they land. Though I do think McCarthy has talent)

In listening and reflecting on the season, it's hard to see the NFC as anything other than the Haves (PHI/DET), Needs More (WAS/GB) and the Have-Nots. If the Rams get out of the Matt Stafford business...Obviously it's only February, but still. Feels like the NFC COULD be really top-heavy

No lie: Went with my wife to a Coldstone ice cream shop. Ordered a milkshake. Used the word "milkshake," not the abbreviation. The worker tried to whip solid ice cream, couldn't figure out why it wouldn't turn into a liquid, tried to give it to me. A co-worker of theirs and I just stared at them

NGL: It's been a long wait for some with expertise AND large audiences to get here. Glad you are recruiting because holy hell, the other place

If more of the league's teams valued offensive linemen the way they should, we'd see more talented guys sticking with the position and developing at all levels. Insanity to pay a QB $50 million-plus and literally cannot keep them from taking 30-plus sacks, not run the ball effectively

The kicker is that Jones absolutely used to know that your offensive line will determine your fate against the best teams. He has lost his way in so many ways but once, he understood that having Nate Newton was better than having almost everything else

Maybe...14×7, on the open market? Team might not like the last year or two, but...

Think...Oilers, 3-2, in a good game. More than usual, Leafs will feel not having Matthews tonight

That is so cool, especially given the history of previous Union Jacks with vampires
