WTF!?!?

First I've heard of this. Oh hell no.

 

[Wamu]

I assume Stafford out a while

Should someone tell RTK?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Why in the hell didn’t the Jets go get Dobbs from the Cardinals weeks ago?

Siemian is waiting in the wings with the Jets.

 

[Wamu]

If there was a guy to replace BB it would be Vrabel

Never wanna be guy that follows a legend. Impossible to duplicate BB's success.

 

[Wamu]

Not sure on Tennehill but rumors are Vrabel is going to New England.

Didn't BB sign a multi year extension last off season? Thought I heard that.

He can’t duplicate it himself in this era

 

[Wamu]

Two huge weeks in a row for the AFCN. If BAL wins these two, they win it no doubt. Even going 1-1 makes things though

Hoping the Browns can pull off a road upset.

I think so, that won’t matter if it’s time and Kraft is ready to move on.

He maybe could if he starts illegally video taping opponents and using deflated balls.

Yeah it's not like Kraft is hurting for cash. He has a dollar or two. And at some point the Pats will have to move on BB.

If you're going to do this, do it before you have to start Brett Rypien. WTF Rams.

Plus I don’t see BB acting well if he starts getting questioned much at all.

Good point. He already is the league most unpleasant coach of all time to interview.

And when he gets into the HOF he'll have the shortest speech of all time.

He'll walk up to the mic, say thank you and then walk off stage.

The Lakers should trade Reaves to a team I like.

It's a real shame he's languishing with the purple 'n gold.

fortunately he's going out as pretty shitty so it's an easier replacement

Tatum for Reaves, done deal.

That is about as good a fillin as they could get right now.

And punted the Packers game by not doing this sooner. Should've done it as soon as Bennett hit the NFI list months ago.

True but they made a move now.

Maybe they can salvage the season. Maybe not.

Yea I don't get it. 4 and 5 and you guys aren't far off. I can't understand why a team wouldn't want Wentz as a backup.
