They have been impressive

odds that Saturday is named the head coach?

I agree.......the portal, as someone stated before allows a coach to see a player compete on the collegiate level. Not sure what the future looks like for this....maybe more like a minor league system. Some schools are already head and shoulders above others as far as talent and depth go; this will make it more difficult to catch them.....add to it that coaches are actively recruiting kids who are not in the portal. on another note, the kid that Kelly danced with went to Alabama; not sure of his name at them moment, but I know it was not Howard. That was what made the whole thing an even bigger joke with Kelly dancing. Makes ya wonder what the hell Saban had to do to land the kid. lol That said, I am willing to bet he knew he was picking Alabama and just made Kelly do that to embarrass him.

Cowboys fans are given false hope. The clearest example of why you just cannot expand the playoffs like other sports do. They beat a bad 8-9 team. The Niners boat race them Sunday. I think the Eagles win easily too. in the AFC, The favorites win as well, although the Cincy vs. Buffalo matchup is intriguing though.

He does start with "Trust your brothers"....so there is that. 😁

To the game....I get the impression Kirby was QUITE confident what the end result was going to be. lol This is quite an impressive string of expletives lol Oh, I guess I should mention language is NSFW.

Hearsay is not acceptable on this forum. It never has been since day 1. The rumors topic is pinned. It appears some need to read it again.

I will take bad takes for 1,000 Alex lol

And tackling techniques have changed significantly; players use their chest more than their shoulders now. Throw in that athlets now are so much bigger, stronger, faster, and even more explosive than ever, it is bound to happen more frequently.

Keep in mind too the coaching fraternity is a tight knit group. Irsay has shown he is a big part of the problem with the team. Coaches see that. While Reich was not successful, he is still well respected in coaching circles. He will never say anything publicly, but coaches know. Sure, someone will be eager enough to take the job, but it will likely be someone with little to no experience as a head coach.

More than likely, I believe he will be told by doctors to not keep playing. Not sure what league protocol would be either. I also do not believe that one incident makes you more susceptible to it happening again compared to someone who has never had it happen. I will be curious to see how this plays out for him. I am just glad he is still here and on the road to recovery. I did see he had a provision in his contract that he would only be paid a percentage of his contract if he ended up on the IR. The Bills front office, with the agreement of the NFL and the NFLPA, are going to pay him his full salary through this. Very classy move on the part of the Bills owner and front office.

Matt LaFleur building a reputation for choking in so many critical games. This was ugly....one drive the entire game to retake the lead was the only time the offense showed any rhythm. Two HUGE and extremely stupid penalties keep drives alive. Have to say at the end, if body language says anything, this was the last game for 12 and 18 to play in their careers.

Interesting comments from Sean Peyton when asked about coaching next season. Asked for the latest, Denver is the only team to seek permission to talk to him. He added that the roster he has right now on Fox is better than any roster out there, and that his current position is better than any position that is currently available. So, he is not coming to Indy. When Jimmy Johnson asked what he was looking for, solid QB? Roster? Chance to win? he said no; for him it is more about the front office and ownership. He was asked 1-10, what are your chances of you returning to this set (Fox). His answer....7.

Each reply that Harvey adds gets better and better. damn onions again

My dad managed the St. Joe K of C team back in the 70's. I am not sure at what point he started that, but he was when they won the ASA State title in Peru.....I forget the year though. Spent many night in the dirt at old Metro stadium.

So, Colts fans may THINK Irsay is the worst owner.....Dolphins owner seem to be saying hold my beer. This is nuts if it happens. https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3451017/the-dolphins-reportedly-may-fire-mike-mcdaniel-which-would-be-such-an-egregious-idiotic-overreaction

Sure enough I see that as someone is cutting onions close by......damn eyes.

According to the pdf on the IHSAA site, the bottom 3 schools in 3A elected to play up a class.

Ok…..so this is my only dive down this rabbit hole. Exactly how would it be determined that the vaccine or even covid was a factor in what happened? What tests exist to make that determination? Don’t misinterpret my post though. I am NOT dismissing anything. The fact is people from every angle have very strong opinions. This topic has given a glimpse of what has happened to every other topic where the vaccine or the virus are mentioned. Want to start a topic exploring the impact of covid and/or the vaccine on athletes? No problem with that. My concern is that either of the two became the focal point of so many topics since it started. And as I said, it was getting uglier with each post. I am just not a fan of seeing it happen here.

I guess it was inevitable that the conversation would go down this path. The fact is there will be no way to tell if being vaccinated (if he was) had any impact on his current condition. What we do know is he was hit in the chest and within seconds, his heart stopped. Anything beyond that point is pure conjecture. My issue is this, regardless of what angle you take with vaccine conversations, they spiral out of control quickly and turn ugly. And once that conversation turns ugly, it seems others do as well, and people start making more and more ugly comments about each other. That is what got the original OOB shut down. My request is we stay focused on the fact that a young man is clinging to life and that alone in this topic. I REALLY hope this does not continue down that path. Those conversations occur in far too many other places in life as it is. As far as Damar goes, a standard protocol for cardiac arrest patients is to put them on oxygen/breathing tubes. He had been at 100% oxygen intake, and the family reports he is down the 50%. Hoping and praying that trend continues.

He is the only one I have heard of doing it.
