JK-I’ve got this lamp, this butt keychain that Balls sent me, this really sharp carving knife, this Blackfly vodka lemonade, this eventual Doug Ford victory, this bag of limited edition Spicy Citrus Doritos…-but aside from that I got nuthin!

Some folks were chatting about this in the super secret back channel that hardly anyone knows about and I thought I might make some snarky observations. First things first though-there’s little to no criteria offered for these grades and we’ve not a clue as to how many players for each team filled out the survey. This report card is on a par with a gossip session but hey, who doesn’t like a wee bit of that here and there?
Bills: They had B’s across the board but an F- for travel. I’m guessing that returning back to Buffalo after every away game skewed this grade down quite a bit.
Raiders: Nothing but A’s across the board-Tonight’s Girlfriend must have gotten word on which players did the grading.
Cards: D- for food. How hard is it to hire a dude that runs a Mexican food truck and have it parked outside the facility?
Carolina: Of course ownership was given a D-. There was no other option.
Cincy: Surprisingly, lot’s of A’s and B’s but an F- for treatment of families and another F for food. [insert Skyline Chili joke here]
Browns: An F- for locker room-is that just considering the environment there given Watson is still around?
Dallas: Grades were good otherwise but training room and training staff were given C’s. Somebody getting fired by Jerrah.
Jets: Flipping things from the Cowboys grades, New York got horrible marks all across the board but the strength coach and the dietician were the only categories that got as much as a B. This is probably a “Good Person Hired By Accident” sorta situation.
Texans: This one struck me as odd. There’s nothing but A’s and B’s here even though Cal McNair is the owner. He’s a big game hunter and a Trumpist and a dude that said “China Virus” back when but he only took over last year from his mother. I’m willing to bet that next year these grades take a nosedive.
Chiefs: This is a puzzling one. There’s a few B’s but a lot of really bad marks in a number of categories. It’s very obvious that no money is being spent on facilities as they enjoy this ridiculous amount of success/profitability.(Losing in the Super Bowl is still an enormously successful season with respect to added revenue) So ownership gets a C- while Reid gets an A+. I’m guessing a beloved player’s coach papers over a lot of deficiencies in an organization. (would like to hear your input here)
Commies: Could ownership get anything else but an A when the bar was so low?
Have at it.
