Your Hastily Conceived Wednesday Evening Open Thread

Sorry for the quality – we were short-staffed at school, and I could only put things together in chunks.

NFL News:

• Overly conceived: Sean McVay says he was “over-prepared” for the Super Bowl.
  • He claimed he spent the first week before the game watching every Patriots 2018 game, plus their Super Bowl games from previous years to try & gain insight into what they might do.
    • Failing to take into account that Bill Belichick is an evil genius who plans based on the opponent, not the scenario.

• Poorly conceived: Donovan McNabb has a “bitchy” response to people upset at his criticism of the Eagles.  
  • “If I’m an analyst and a question is presented to me, I’m supposed to answer the way I see fit,” McNabb said, via Philly.com.
  • This is all because he said the Eagles might consider cutting Carson Wentz if they don’t make it back to the NFC title game before his rookie deal runs out.

• Financially conceived: The Seahawks are indeed considered the frontrunners to sign free agent DE Ziggy Ansah.
  • He would fill the gap left by the Frank Clark trade, and his pre-existing shoulder issues means they’d be getting him at a discount.
    • Which would then allow them to extend Bobby Wagner & end all this contract bullshit that dogs them each off-season.

• Rem capto: Prosecutors in the Robert Kraft case want the court to sanction Kraft’s attorneys for allegedly lying in court.
  • They claims Kraft’s attorneys made up accusations against a testifying officer designed to impact his credibility.
  • The lawyers’ response is classic, ‘What? How DARE you impugn our credibility?!’
    • “This is all an obvious and desperate attempt to deflect attention away from the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the Jupiter Police Department and the state lawyers.”
