Moving again? lol
Again? Moved to MT in Sep of 2019.

Been talking about this move to Nashville (to be closer to the wife's 2 sisters and her oldest daughter with grandkids) for the last almost 6 months since we got married in Vegas....

Basically this. Gruden's an idiot for leaving a digital trail, and he deserves the flack he's getting (I don't think he should've lost his job, especially since this happened a decade ago). Having said that, the NFL leaked Gruden's emails, while they were investigating Dan Snyder's organization for more nefarious shit. Yet, not a thing on Snyder. The NFL opened up Pandora's box.

So apparently, JR Smith was attacked by yellow jackets during his first college golf match.

Weak move by the Bucs. Especially since last week they signed Richard Sherman who's charged with felony burglary domestic violence.
Think those are all misdemeanors.

To be fair, Sherman hasn't been convicted (that I'm aware of), while we know Gruden wrote the e-mails.

Point taken though, because Sherman probably shouldn't be eligible to play until the criminal case is sorted out. Plus, it's current while Grudens stuff all looks to be 5-10 years old. That's not even adding in that Sherman has virtually admitted his guilt.

But, the NFL hasn't exactly been known for getting it right on domestic violence issues.

that still goes back to the coaching staff to have the players prepared imo. It’s more than just this year. There are only so many excuses you can make for bad coaching
Is it ever the player who screwed up when the player screws up? Never mind in Green we are talking about, what, the 5th string CB?

Did they play great against Bears and Minnesota because of Woods or nah....that was the players?

First good passing game of the year? No more like his 3rd.
Was good vs Denver and would have approached 400 vs Detroit if Brown didn't drop everything
I do think he was elite and has had other really good games, too, but so funny how the narrative changes depending on the QB for some. WR drops a Baker pass it's an excuse. Baker has an elite performance against Cinci it's "just the Bengals".

Again, though, I thought LJ was exceptional and has been in other games this year...passing the ball.

It can be both. The coaches job is to make calls to put the player in the best possible position to succeed. So the question becomes, why did the player fail? Did the coach have them in the wrong defense? If he did have them in the wrong defense, was the player close enough to being in position that he should have still been able to make the play? Or did it put the player so far out of position, that he couldn't recover?

Was it something that caught the coaching staff completely off guard and the player was completely unprepared for the play? Was it a physical breakdown by the player (slipped, tripped, etc.) or a mental one (misread the play/route, forgot his assignment)?

Or...was the other guy just better/just made a great play? I'd say that one is the one that's most likely to be true most of the time.

Not sure why it's always a ST coach who gets the interim gig though......Marinelli has experience as a coach, even if he wasn't very good, and Bradley would have been a better choice IMO.

Shocked at the selection of the interim coach.
Maybe because HC has so many responsibilities and you don't want the DC or OC as it's enough just to run that unit? all I got.

I'm actually surprised nobody has hired Toub away from KC (he's a ST guy too). He was a hot name a few years back as a leadership type. Reid must have him brainwashed, lol.

The domestic violence component of the charge Sherman faces, which is a felony, is because of his relation to the occupants of the residence. The malicious mischief charge is in relation to the damage he allegedly did to their front door, Lowe said.
