I'm not sure what there is to say except I can't tell if it's good or bad to have the face of your organization to be a recovering narcissist.

Since nobody gives a poo poo about the Pro Bowl (RIP) do we just delve into food chat or is that reserved for the off-season? I ask mainly because I tried Blues Hog BBQ sauce on some pulled pork and it was really great and I'm wondering what other sauces I should try next.

We used to have a dedicated thread to Super Bowl food. I'd imagine we'd all post the same stuff we posted in years past but that might be a good idea to remind everyone.

Or we could just do it here because what else are we talking about this week.

there's some new lego sets dropping at the end of the week that look kinda cool (kingfisher especially). im replaying persona 5 right now with some games of against the storm inbetween. enjoyed trepang2 except that the boss battles all feel like an annoying slog.

age of empires 2 is having the hidden cup tournament start up in a couple of weeks, qualifiers are going on right now and there's some good sets.

i hope the ravens coordinators dont get poached

This is the second super-religious HC Tepper's hired now. Was Rhule one too and I never heard about it?

For that matter, does Tepper claim to be religious?

I don�t think there�s anything more to it than that football is just full of very religious people.

If you still have an Athletic sub this is a fun article on the Jets. Fun if you aren't a Jets fan that is.

https://theathletic.com/5238599/2024/01/31/jets-aaron-rodgers-robert-saleh-season-collapse/?source=pulsenewsletter&campaign=8876266

quote:

�It�s just such a f�ing mess,� one Jets coach said. �Something has to change.�

quote:

The Athletic spoke to 30 sources in and around the organization, some of whom were granted anonymity to speak freely about the inner workings of the team without reprisal. Those sources described a team riddled with excuse-making, a paranoid head coach, an ill-equipped offensive coordinator and an organizational tunnel vision on the quarterback that rubbed some teammates wrong.

quote:

It�s not uncommon for team decision-makers to consult star quarterbacks on potential roster additions, but the perception around the league was the Jets went beyond the norm. �Rodgers isn�t the assistant GM,� one AFC general manager said. �Joe Douglas is the assistant GM.�

There's more than this but there's some real good Nathaniel Hackett hating in here, more than this, that's just the best line.

quote:

�That�s what Aaron wants� was a common refrain from Hackett as he told coaches what plays he wanted to run during camp. Often, Rodgers would hear Hackett�s play call and want something else, so the entire offense would reset.

But the Saleh hating goes deeper:

quote:

Saleh has the mantra �positive vibes only� printed on T-shirts that coaches and other staffers often wear around the team facility. The Jets head coach tries to stay optimistic around players and in front of the media and has garnered respect from many in the locker room for cultivating an environment that allows players to be themselves.

But behind closed doors, the vibes weren�t always positive, especially when Saleh would see negative press reports. He would often bring up how, in his mind, the Giants don�t get as much negative coverage as the Jets, calling it unfair.

In the aftermath of Rodgers� injury, Saleh bemoaned his bad luck. Throughout his tenure, he has often wondered aloud if he was doomed to the same fate as Vic Fangio, a brilliant defensive coach cursed by misfortune at quarterback. Fangio was fired by the Broncos in 2021 after three seasons and a 19-30 record despite building an elite defense. Saleh�s Jets � and his elite defense, ranked No. 1 in 2023 by PFF� are 18-33 in his three years as coach.

Sorry for all the quotes but there's just so much in there and I've missed other things.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts: Sep 9, 2011; The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.

I'm not sure what Saleh was supposed to do other than what he did. The offense was built by management to be Aaron Rodgers flying circus and it's not like he could sign another QB. The Jets probably make the playoffs with a replacement level QB but they can't/won't.

Saleh is Management. He was fully onboard with groveling to get Aaron to come and then doing whatever he wanted once they got him. He�s the head coach and he basically just ceded half of his responsibility to a player that hadn�t even played a snap for the team.

Love the picture of Aaron just flying back and forth cross country instead of just getting someplace within a reasonable commute.
