I guess by now you’ve heard the news about Morris, Stefanski, Carroll, Gannon, Kafka and McCoy. I think on Thursday, after more has cleared we’ll do a rundown of how other fellas managed to keep their employment going.
For now let’s do examine the draft order (just the top 8) and the advantages and disadvantages a wet-behind-the-ears rookie faces.
1. Raiders:
Advantage: The Vegas is your oyster and because you’re a QB you’ll get at least two years to develop.
Disadvantage: Does anyone in their bologna salad-loving mind think that Tom Brady is a competent team-builder at this point?
2. Jets:
Advantage: If you can make it here, under these circumstances, you’re likely a minor deity of some sort.
Disadvantage: Like any MAGA-ite, Woody will drop you to his level and there’s no coming back.
3. Cards:
Advantage: There’s a bit of talent on the O side and Kyler will likely be in the rear view mirror. (I mean, could you imagine him as a mentor?)
Disadvantage: Every level of this organization is incompetent and that’s nearly impossible to overcome.
4. Titans:
Advantage: Bits and pieces of talent are there and a QB with a year under his belt could make a considerable leap.
Disadvantage: Leadership at the owner level leaves a lot to be desired.
5. Giants:
Advantage: Ownership, while misguided, tends to be patient unless the coach has a meltdown.
Disadvantage: The press here is harder than pretty much anywhere else.
6. Browns:
Advantage: Cheap flights elsewhere?
Disadvantage: Really tough division to get a foothold in.
7. Commies:
Advantage: 2025 seemed like a one-year blip-everything is in place for a bounceback season in a weak and weakening division.
Disadvantage: The Stink of Snyder could be a legit thing.
8. Chiefs:
Advantage: Far less pressure to succeed in a well-run organization with quality coaching-you’ll find your way.
Disadvantage: You must get to the buffet table within the first ten minutes or it’s just scraps.

Found a funny:
Thinking about how Dilbert and Dogbert are also about to die
Still wild to me that the USA is producing the most amount of crude oil by any nation in any point of history
Seems Rocking!
Another chart
That’s what happens when you suddenly “run” a member of OPEC.
Literally, thanks Obama. Fracking put us over the top. All it cost was flammable drinking water and earthquakes in red states.

That’s a funny
Lmao
I’ve just left my first ever cricket match (as a spectator). AMA.
Was it Twenty20 format?
Nope. Full test. The Ashes between England and Australia in Sydney.
Oh neat! Were you there for the tea break? Did you drink tea during it?
I left at the tea break. What an awful concept.
Do you have a commemorative “6” sign?
And if so does it have a “4” on the other side?
Yes.
I do not. Some people had fans with 6 on one side and 4 on the other. I didn’t get one.
How big were they?
What do you have if you’re holding one cricket ball in your left hand and another cricket ball in your right hand?
A huge fucking cricket.
How are you still capable of speaking coherently? That’s not how live cricket is supposed to work.
I had 4 or 5 beers, a cider, and a ginger beer. I sweated it all out.
Boots on the grounds!
I don’t know about that photo of a mountain of Skyline shredded cheddar cheese that gets posted here occasionally, but here’s a five-way Cincinnati chili from Hard Times Cafe in Old Town Alexandria VA, just outside DC. The “five-way” refers to spaghetti, chili, beans, cheese, and fine chopped white onion, and it’s pretty damn good. The chili is closer to a thick Bolognese sauce than a Texas chili (which Hard Times also serves) so it may shock chili purists, but fuck them. I hate food fascists. Put ketchup on your hot dog if you like it that way – it’s your hot dog.
I used to go to the one in College Park, I would usually get the chili bubba (the one that’s over corn bread)
In “nobody cares about your beer league hockey team” news, the first game I played in a month ended up in a 4-4 tie. I got bailed out from allowing an atrocious 4th goal by my team.
NEVER A DOUBT!
GO CATS GO!
Congrats on your team doing a good!
That was crazypants.
They’re crying in Missoula!
I’ve started reading the Chief Inspector Gamache books. There’s 20 of them and they’re decently long although I’m already almost done with the 4th one. It’s so strange to me that there are people out there that make resolutions to read more, if you enjoy it how can you not?
They just enjoy TV more.
Go Cats Go !!!
AYODOWN!!!!
That facemask is probably worth 45 yards.
Wheel of Fortune has a contestant named Tequila.
Is the last name ‘Mockingbird’?
I think she said “Sonrhyze”
Montana State with two of the dumbest back-to-back plays you’ll ever see.
Admitting then graduating Mr. Ayo?
I can only imagine the rage with which he is seething right now.
BLOCKED!!!
Okay, I finished reading Cloud Atlas. It was…
1) Started off good, but fell off after chapter 28.3?
2) Easily sunburned?
3) Soulless?
Good but still mediocre?
Giraffesque?
White?
(pretty good)
The FCS Championship is quietly heading towards plaid status.
ESPN reporting that the Titans will interview Raheem Morris, if for no other reason than to shut those Rooneys up.
Update: The Militia has not been called up, but plans are being proposed.
OMG I LOVE BENGALS FANS!!
Well at least he’s not overreacting.
To be fair, Cincinnati does have reserves of oil. Due to the skyline chili. Wait, no, that’s just poop. Probably pretty oily though.
First they mocked my love of Malort, next they will come for my Skyline Chili.
Sounds like a pairing any oenologist would be proud to rec.
No one is coming for your Skyline Chili.
And I did not say anything because my mouth was full.
Rivaled only by it’s neighboring state to the west in terms of gravy oil.
Is that what gives the Cuyahoga its blue flames?
(RIVERS CAN BE IN TWO CITIES, DAMMIT!)
1st day back at work, I want to play in traffic.
Same, brother, same.
Thirded
Aye
I had a 0830 meeting, when I normally start at 0900, and then a day full of meetings
And, like, actual, fucking, work of my own to do. Most of which is getting pushed until at least tomorrow
Oh and 300+ emails and a zillion teams messages. If there’s something in teams that needs me, they are going to have to message me again as I’m not reading all that.
It’s bad when I like emails more than teams messages
Yup, my boss and I reviewed a copy and graphic intensive document in like, 7 minutes. That’s not the way to do it, but like a good grunt I shut up and followed orders. HEY WHO CARES IF IT LOOKS LIKE A SQUAD OF RETARDED CHIMPS DID IT?
Depending on the intended audience that might be the most effective way for it to look
I’m reading an analysis of the NFL coach firings, which is six at this point. In each fired coach’s analysis, listed among his potential replacements are all the other fired coaches.
It’s a circle jerk
And here in lovely Mobtown, not a peep from the Ravens’ front office. Fuck.
They’re not going to do anything. Just like the Steelers were not going to do anything if the kick was straight.
Well, they are updating their wills and getaway bags.
Hard to make a peep while you’re sleeping with the fishes.
Still trying to come to grips with last night’s Stillers game.
Possibly the greatest regular season game in Heinz Field history.
Even if the Ratbirds’ kick had been good, it still would have be one of the best. Just bananacakes all around.
One for the books, for sure. I’m not sure I’d be calling it great if the kick had been straight.
It was completely insane. I woke up muscle sore this morning from the tension of it all!
I told my buddy my heart hadn’t beaten that hard in a long time….
Buddy Cole? What he do you?
What didn’t he do? Two consenting adults can get up to all sorts of mischief.
Show us or point at it on the doll
.
For whomsoever is considering hiring McCarthy as HC
I enjoy that he still lives here. He must listen to the talkosphere in glee
Go Cats Go!
-me, upon seeing any MAGA thrown into a lion den
If only
5 out of the top 6 picking fired their coaches.
How the hell did the Jets keep their coach?!?
Woody is trying to show he’s not Das Raycess?
Even the least functional organizations usually give a coach a second year, don’t they?
That’s high praise for the Jets…
What’s worse than least functional? It’s a superlative, by definition you can’t be less than least
What’s worse? The Jets.
The Jets < the least . It's math.
It would be kinda fun to do a dysfunction bracket for the shittiest teams in the league
Cleveland, Jets, Raiders, Cardinals.
There’s your Mount Rushless
Non-functional?
Woody can’t change the coach on his Madden ’08 game.
