Re: Nit laden Loins vs. Bucky - Big Ten Championship GDT
This game is as good as over with no pass rush. PSU is basically playing a video game right now. Gus Johnson is incredibly annoying.

Re: Game Thread Chumps
Jimmy Johnson needs to be educated. He says "Dom Capers has the GB defense playing like a playoff defense". Sounds like we should give DC a raise.

Re: Why We Won/Why the Vikings can still go ****.q themselves
While I mostly agree, this is what the Houston Texans have done and they'll be shelling out $27 million over two seasons to Brock Osweiler after failing with Brian Hoyer, et. al. prior to this year with Arian Foster in the backfield and guys like Andre Johnson and Hopkins at WR.

Re: Why We Won/Why the Vikings can still go ****.q themselves
You do make a point. But the Texans have seen more success by not chasing a QB and instead drafting guys like Watt, Mercilus, Hopkins and Clowney. That said, they did chase a QB with Brock and we're all seeing how that played out. They would have been better off saving that money and playing Tom Savage. Not saying you ignore QB high in the draft, you just have to be careful not to overrate a QB just because you need a QB. You see it every draft season, where guys like Kizer, Watson and...

Re: Why We Won/Why the Vikings can still go ****.q themselves
GMs chase what they wish they had. They see superstar QBs, an excited fan base, and through that, job security. But superstar QBs are very, very few and very far, far between. But they buy into the myth that you need one to win the SB. Superstar QBs win because of their OL and having a good D. If you took that Dallas OL away from Dak and Elliott, they would be average at best (for prime example, see AP). If you took away GB's OL, our offense would be a lot more limited. Brady, for all his...

That news story is tragic but it ended strangely- Just a mention that his estranged daughter had a child. Turns out Randy Johnson lived another 10 years in ever worsening straits, dying alone in a shack in North Carolina.

Howard "Smiley" Johnson Only Packer WWII casualty of war. From Packers.com: The roll call needs to start with Howard "Smiley" Johnson, the Packers' only war casualty. Recipient of two Silver Stars, Johnson was killed in action at Iwo Jima. He played guard for the Packers in 1940 and '41, and was a second lieutenant with the 23rd Marines when he died at age 28. Johnson grew up in an orphanage near Clarksville, Tenn., and played college football at the University of Georgia. With the Packers,...

Re: 2019 Free Agency Moves/Trades/Releases
Twitter is great because you can follow random shit like former Bengals WR Chad Johnson telling Devante Adams today he could cover Adams 1 on 1 because he’s studied DBs and then Adams clowning Chad that young men in the league can’t cover him but his tired old ass thinks he can stay with him because he has vet smarts. My goodness. Adams against Chad Johnson is nothing Chad Johnson ever wants to ever actually happen.

I thought that was Tampa Bay with Brad Johnson at QB -- even worse than them?? Ravens with Dilfer or Flacco?

Re: All-Pro Teams Named. Bakh (2nd team) is the only Packer to make it.
Flacco had a QB rating of 100+ in all 4 of the Ravens' postseason games that year. He isn't a great QB, but he had a phenomenal postseason run that year. He was the biggest factor in their SB win.

Re: Kobe Bryant (RIP)
Kobe was one of the most complicated professional athletes in my lifetime. Probably the only guy at this level of complication is Tiger Woods. Kobe had great academic test scores coming out of high school. With his drive and intelligence, he could have gone to law school or been the CEO of a big company. Maybe a surgeon. He would have been good at whatever profession he decided to pursue. He was intelligent, articulate, and driven. He was thoughtful in the manner of Kareem or Bill Russell.

Re: Kobe Bryant (RIP)
I also don't put much stock in this narrative that the Lakers are "going to win one for Kobe." You know how many of the current Laker players actually played with Kobe? ZERO. He was a guy that occasionally went to games and hung around the Staples Center. Most of these Laker players are just basketball mercenaries. LeBron and AD aren't playing for the Lakers as much as they are for a grown-up AAU team they put together that allows LeBron to do Hollywood stuff. The "real" Lakers are Kobe,...

Re: Amazing Article on Ted Thompson's Success
Here's another example of the Packers front office prowess: Kevin Seifert talks about the Packers strategy of having many very good WRs instead of 1 Dez Bryant or 1 Calvin Johnson. This fits perfectly with coach MM's tactic of finding and winning match-ups. MM paints a target on the back of the weakest link and then Rodgers pummels that poor bastard into submission. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnat...he-aaron-rodgers-era It also makes it easier for Russ Ball to pay the WRs; no egos, nobody...

Re: Buffalo vs. Jacksonville in London
I'm not sure even the Jags (or Vikings) could blow this. With Taylor hurt, the Bills have almost no other choice than the stick with Manuel. Otherwise, it's Josh Johnson with about two practices with the team.
