Unless vrabel gets caught loving Jason Aldeans wife or something he isn’t getting fired this year. Some people have speculated he wants back in to college but he’s always said publicly that he hated recruiting and is glad he doesn’t have to do it any more. Idk if he’s down to stay in Tennessee if the team bottoms out into a multi year rebuild so if he leaves in the future I suspect it will be a mutual choice

Campbell and Holmes are completely safe no matter how bad the Lions are this year, short of committing actual crimes.

If the team just completely melts down and goes like 2-15 then I could see it, but obviously that feels pretty far outside of the realm of possibility.

Today I learned the Bears are trying to build a stadium out in bumfuck nowhere despite having one of the best stadium situations a team could possibly have: A stadium right in the middle of downtown.

Downtown stadiums rule. Everyone can get to them just like driving to work, there is poo poo to do outside of the stadium, public transit goes right there.

I assume this is a racism-based move? The owner hire someone to break into some cars during a game to gin up some hysterical news coverage?

Smallest stadium also lost it's historical status because the last renovation got hosed up. Can't blame anyone for giving up on it.

Let's see....

I was considering Campbell, Eberflus, Smith, and McDaniels as part of a rebuilding process and probably safe unless they look like Hackett level hopeless. Same for the first year guys. Gannon was handed a roster that's been stripped for parts, as long as he isn't tripping over his own dick (which uh seems possible based on that pew pew lasers video) he's probably got some leash. Vrabel seems entrenched.

I did flat out forget about Rivera (easy to do), who is just keeping the seat warm til the new owners figure out what they want to do.

There's often one "holy poo poo" firing too. Maybe it's Fat Mike's year! Balanced by several "are you loving kidding me they kept that idiot" outcomes. So yeah you can come to a list of 10 guys but I think at least half of them are pretty unlikely.

Oh I do only expect like 5-6 vacancies, I just figured when they rattled off like 10 guys, like yeah there's probably about 10 guys who could realistically be fired each year. Just a bunch of them don't crash and burn.

Like Dorsey... theoretically could be fired, but it's hard to imagine the Bills sucking that bad without Josh Allen getting injured, and if he gets injured, Dorsey's probably safe due to that injury. Just hard to see them failing to get to at least like 8 wins otherwise.

Sam Vecenie a guy who doesn’t even cover American football and lives in Australia at least looked up who Taylor’s agent was - the largest agent in MMA. Pretty much every NFL analyst I’ve read including Lombardi hasn’t bothered to do this and refers to him as “some guy” with a hint of racist overtones (not saying Lombardi is doing this intentionally)

NFL reporting on labour issues outside of people who work for the Athletic or Domonique Foxworth or FO alumni is universally trash and pro owner

Maybe a team like the Bears makes sense? They need to spend money to get to the floor, have a cheap QB for a couple more years, and don't have a great RB room. Fields and Taylor would be fun as hell to watch.

White flight and putting poo poo out in the suburbs to limit access by people of color and/or lower income from the city has been a thing for hundreds of years in America. When the first highway from NYC out to the Long Island beaches was built, the architect deliberately designed the bridges too low for city busses to pass so only people who owned cars could get there. Less hilariously overt versions of this happen all the time. It's not an insane take.

That said I know NOTHING about the Chicago stadium situation or whether there's anything going on with it besides "welp this is where there's space to build a big rear end stadium"

football.


"As far as the actual practice went for Richardson, I would say it was definitely the roughest day he’s had in his first week of an NFL camp. Richardson was 5-of-13 (4-of-9 with the starters). He took all 18 reps with the starters, plus a live period with the younger guys on the roster to end practice. As expected, you had some timing/accuracy issues in the team sessions from Richardson. Knowing when to use what type of speed on his passes is something Richardson will have to continue to work on in his NFL development. He does throw a really nice, on-target deep ball. Richardson did get picked off in the final starting period of the day, on a batted ball that fell into the arms of defensive end Khalid Kareem."

He hasn't even played a snap yet. Plenty of guys have tore up camp then done jack poo poo. But I guess it's better than sucking out loud in practice.

If you want to tell Mel Kiper or whoever they suck, maybe wait until the guy actually does something meaningful. Shouting out a player for having a good camp is fine but come on.

I literally just said it's fine pointing out players that seem to be doing well in camp but to bash draft pundits because a guy made a cool catch in practice without actually playing a game is a bit much.
