The grades are from player survey's. This is the first year that they took the survey.

I would be real interested to see how much their grade would have changed from last year to this year if they had done it. Right now all the players are all rosy with the new coach and new GM. Under Zimmer/Spielman when there was a lot of conflict in the building (as we are finding out), I wonder if some of those A's dont change to B's.
Looking at the Chiefs version. It's very interesting to me that Burkholder has essentially the polar opposite reputation amongst the actual players (very negative) as he does in the media/staff network (overwhelmingly positive) which is then relayed to fans. Makes me wonder how much the Chiefs' injury luck black magic isn't just a culture of authoritarianism and implicitly playing through injuries rather than luck amongst the trainers.

What? You have pictures, cause you didn't at the NFC Championship game and you claimed to be there too.
I do have some pictures of London. I was there in 2004 three times.

Wild guess you’ve never left the butthole that is Philly.

Jacksonville might be a nice place, for you, to visit.
I've never been to Jacksonville, but I know it's nicer than London.

I don't think that London will ever support American football more than we would ever support Premier League soccer. Sure they can go for the novelty of the 3 or 4 games a year, with most of them not knowing the rules.

Plus, what free agents will want to live in London half of the year?
Plus how the hell do the taxes work? Wasn’t the taxes the big issue that made the Expos move from Montreal with how screwy the exchanges were plus the different tax systems.

He's 100% correct. London is a shit pile nowadays

You might be right. I still think Zimmer got the shaft because he wasn't best pals with his players and he and Cousins clearly didn't get along. It was a move that ultimately had to be made.

But you're right, KOC made friends fast. He won right away, so that helps as well.
Cousins poisoned the franchise. Fuck him forever.

I can assure you that most human beings would rather be in London than Jacksonville, if they were able to experience both and choose.

London might be shit compared with Paris, San Fran or NYC, but it is paradise compared with Jacksonville!

London is not my favorite European city, but it's a damn nice city overall, especially for a young athlete with money in his pocket.

I think the fan base would come around there and in Germany if we put teams there personally. Those are sports obsessed countries and they would gradually get into it.

Grayson Allen is from Jacksonville. That’s all that needs to be said and everything you need to know about Jacksonville, FL.

Well that explains why Roy Robertson-Harris was given $10M a year.

If all the worlds great cities could only be more like Dayton.
I mean, I'm sorry if that upsets you, but its the truth. Dayton sucks, too
