  1. It is possible that you are overvaluing the ability of the NFL Player/Personnel Manager Development system to create strong managerial hiring practices. The NFL General Managers didn't go through GE's Manager Development School. These guys don't get their jobs because they are awesome at interviewing and evaluating coaches. They get their jobs because they are good at finding and evaluating great on-field football talent. Because, like you said, on-field football talent is more likely to make a coach, than the other way around.
  2. You can't see whaley saying, "I believe EJ has the potential, he just hasn't had the right coach yet." to a prospective hire?
  3. But they might not have a radically different scheme next year. Could that hurt them as the other OCs adjust?
  4. For a lot of writers there are separate standards for HoF and "First Ballot" HoF.
  5. even the kitten is looking at the scarf like, "dude... WTF?"
  6. Oh, I completely agree. We just got left at the alter by Drane's drunk uncle.
  7. Syracuse has been considered top 1 before.
  8. You guys aren't using nearly enough exclamation points in the spelling of the Canadian Goalie's name. Also, far too many lower case letters.
  9. Fracking-EuroRecession-EnergyEfficiency But mostly the Saudi's saying a big FU to Putin for his support of Assad allowing ISIS to exist, IMO. With King Abdullah in the hospital, the last thing the royals want is any instability in the region, and Putin's choices of friends are sowing it in droves.
  10. Naw, I can see the sabres using their size to be able to score more than 1.
  11. I don't know.
  12. Michigan State is looking for a DC.
  13. I have to be up at 5 also. Thanks for reminding me.
  14. Related question: Is he the only player on that team that has scored a playoff goal?
  15. He says that some historians claim that they helped create the modern russian state. He's referring to the breakup of the Kieven Rus. He does talk fast, and there is a lot in the first 16 episodes that leads up to this one, so there might be some loss there. But if you can get the hang of it, I think you'd like the entire Crash Course World History series. He looks at a lot of the subtleties of history, and tries to focus more on the influence of peoples rather than the influence of a single great person (the mogols are the exception, they are the exception to a lot of things).
  16. I'm honestly afraid that this might be a salient point, and it makes me sad.
  17. Same refs as the ND-FSU game?
  18. They conquered the ###### out of them, and violently so, but still were incredibly tolerant of culture and religion, even by today's standards. If you've got 10 minutes:
  19. Oh, I think they're going to buy him out in june for $7M, for sure. The deal was terrible. I'm just confused why you're using team docs and advanced stats to justify the badness of the trade.
  20. I think trading myers for scoring is a good way to get a team that can make the playoffs and not advance. I want a d-corps that is can lose the top 2 guys and still be in the top half of the league. I know it's rolling the dice, waiting for our forward prospects to develop, but between the prospects and the upcoming first rounders, I'm willing to take that chance. It seems that top talent forwards move as UFAs more often that top pairing defensemen, so maybe we can pick something up in the short term while we have half the team under RFA.
  21. this team has been rotten without myers since his rookie year. Isn't there some stat that shows the team's performance with and without certain players? I seem to remember that that stat was very favorable for Big Tyler.
  22. Aren't you like the #1 skeptic of team doctors and anti-advanced stats? This post has me in an existential crisis.
  23. The Mongolians were incredibly tolerant of other cultures. Leave the man alone. Ink's in good company, Stalin hated the Tartars too.
  24. One of the best anchors ever. ###### cancer.
