It also gives Ainge an out if he were looking for one. He could encourage Stevens to go for it.

McKay was the Frank Layden of football. Here’s another great McKay line: After receiving harsh criticism from the media about McKay's coaching skills in the NFL, McKay replies "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a bunch of bananas." In the next interview, members of the media left bananas for McKay. He then replied, "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a Mercedes Benz."

Grantland Rice’s story about that Army game included maybe the most famous lead in the history of sportswriting: Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army football team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down on the bewildering panorama spread on the green plain below.

Yep. If an IU basketball coach can't get into the NCAA tournament, and just as importantly can't beat Purdue, then he isn't welcome in Bloomington for that long.

Not American football but English soccer. Long before concussion protocol rules a player got knocked out. While getting treatment on the sideline the coach approached the trainer and asked about the player. He said how is he and the trainer said the player doesn't know who he is. The coach replied "tell him he's Pele and get back in there."

Yep. And the sad thing is I think the Bears current ownership is ok with that, like the Ford family is with the Detroit Lions. Be just mediocre enough to put fans in the seats (covid excepted of course) and sell enough merchandise to turn a small profit on the franchise. If once every 20 years or so you have a 'miracle season' and get to the SB then that is just icing on the cake.

Even worse is it's possible this move shows Nagy/Pace have job security. Bring in a veteran bridge gap to play and/or mentor the QB you're going to pick. Matt could be getting a chance to pick his guy at QB and be given a few years go work with him. Even more worse than that the Bears have $17M in cap space invested in Foles/Dalton.

Not only are you not presenting a viable alternative, you are outright derailing the topic. You must not like to see black and brown people vote.

you hear what you want to hear but that sounds like a guy that is seriously considering something. I'm not saying its going to happen there seems to be more to this.

I don’t see that there’s a problem. The rules already prohibit any player from striking an opponent “with his fist, locked hands, forearm or elbow, nor kick or knee him.” An open-handed strike to the facemask — a “stiff arm” — does not present a serious risk of head injury unless the runner is some sort of Kung Fu master. It’s not at all analogous to a defender grabbing and twisting the runner’s facemask. I can honestly say in all the football I’ve seen, I’ve never seen a tackler suffer a head injury as a result of a stiff arm.

Raiders got our guy!

I'm a fan of the HS OT model. If people believe there should be discussion about whether the OT should start on the 10 yl or 15 or 20, maybe that is worth discussion. But if the goal is short and simple, having OT start at the 10yl with line to gain being the GL...it can't get much simpler and quicker. I don't think the vast majority of HS kickers are good enough to warrant moving back further to start an OT possession.

Eddie LeBaron, at 5’7”, was the shortest NFL QB I ever saw. He was a good player for Washington, and then the expansion Dallas Cowboys. DLs were not quite so big in those days, but among the biggest was 6’6” 284# Eugene “Big Daddy” Lipscomb. One day, after being frustrated by chasing LeBaron around all afternoon, Big Daddy yelled at him, “when I catch you, I’m going to bite your head off and swallow it.” LeBaron replied, “If you do, you’ll have a lot more brains in your stomach then you ever had in your head!”

I believe this was Tom Coughlin in a post game press conference after Boston College beat Notre Dame. Reporter: Coach in your wildest dreams did you think you would beat this Notre Dame team? Coughlin: My wildest dreams have nothing to do with football.

Sorry, I don't watch insipid You Tube videos with those incessant and annoying jump cuts. Do you have a written transcript of this missive or perhaps it given in a speech format?

How is presenting a viable alternative viewpoint derailing the topic? If anything it is you are doing the railroading, not I.
