I've been wondering that also. Scott knows more about Pittsburgh's cap space and based on his post about Big Ben, I suspect that negotiation may play a factor in whether they can acquire Watt. Of course the other component is what sort of contract is Watt willing to accept. Based on his...

Saw on the local media that JJ Watt asked the Texans to release him and they have agreed. I admit I am a little bit surprised at this turn of events. I expect fan interest in the team to continue to plummet as the team implodes. Curious to see if /where Watt ends up. - Walter.

Heard about Schottenheimer's passing a little while ago on ESPN. One of those coaches I always had a lot of respect for, despite him always being on the other sideline from the teams I followed. He was the 7th winningest football coach in NFL history which is no small thing. (Of course we...

It was a team effort. I would argue that the defense was probably the single biggest component in the Bucs' win, with strong contributions from Fournette, Gronk, and Brady. But the MVP Award goes to an individual and Brady deserved the award on that basis. He didn't light up the yardage...

I've been following the Texans since their entry into the NFL and the past few years have been really troubling. How do you not build a team around DeShaun Watson? Well, for starters you don't trade away DeAndre Hopkins who is arguably one of the top ten receivers currently in the NFL...

Seeing Craig Morton's name mentioned reminds me of one of the crueler comments I ever recall in Sports Illustrated. After Dallas defeated Denver in Super Bowl XII, a game in which Morton three 4 interceptions; the SI author's writeup of the game included this comment "Craig Morton has finally...

Yeah, those kind of losses really leave a mark. As a life long Dallas Cowboys fan seeing 'The Catch' played over and over during various ads was kind of painful. Of course the Jackie Smith drop was a another moment that featured a lot of airplay over the years. (To be fair to Smith, Staubach...

Yep, Super Bowl 36 in which the Patriots defeated the St. Louis Rams 20-17 with Adam Vinatieri hitting a 48 yard field goal as time expired. The Patriots took possession of the ball with 1:30 remaining and no timeouts and drove to the Ram's 30 yard line via a series of passes by Brady. (A...

I would agree with the sentiment that it was tough to see Brees exit football with that performance, but it was one game vs. a career of excellence; so in the larger scheme of things it isn't that big of a deal. I have a lot of respect for Brees and I am fairly confident that he will manage his...

Don't really have a dog in the fight, but I am sort of pulling for the Bills. Recently revisited the ESPN 30 for 30 episode Four Falls of Buffalo and I kind of hope that the Bills can put those four trips behind them this year. All of the other remaining clubs have won the big prize, so I...

In agreement with Robert and Scott regarding Harbaugh. I would add that considering his net worth, that makes it easier to take a pay cut to stay in the game and stay relevant. Larger pay days may materialize in the future, and I believe those offers are more likely if one is an active coach...

Eric Bieniemy would be a much better choice for the Jaguars. Especially paired with Trevor Lawrence. (I've heard that he is planning to speak with the Falcons and the Lions (God help him. :)) so I guess we will see how it goes.) Pete Carroll is another coach who comes to mind in terms of...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/21/us/kevin-greene-nfl-player-death-spt-trnd/index.html I guess nothing should surprise me about 2020, but damn. - Walter.

Watching a recap of yesterday's games earlier this morning. What a fantastic play at the end of the game yesterday between Murray and Hopkins. Just another stinging reminder of the damage that moron O'Brien did to the Houston Texans with that ill-advised trade. How he could trade away Hopkins...

I never was a big Bill O'Brien fan, and when he traded away DeAndre Hopkins it was time for him to go. Some horrible decisions involving the draft and Texans' roster. Maybe O'Brien can land a spot with the Lions? :) - Walter.
