I have it on really good authority that Jimmy G was tired of being a backup and while the Pats actually offered him a nice contract, his agent basically told him Brady wasn't going to hang them up in the next couple of years so he turned down the contract offer at which point the Pats basically knew they had to move him.
Yeah, Brady has been pretty clear about wanting to play until he is 45. So, I could totally see Jimmy G getting frustrated.
Rodgers had a similar situation in Green Bay, but Favre was talking about retiring almost every offseason, so I bet Rodgers was willing to be more patient.
-
I mean they won 6 championships, they are probably looking at having a drop off at some point.
Keeping Jimmy G would have been tough for them, they would have had to let Brady go two years ago. I doubt they could have kept both of them and I doubt Jimmy G was going to be excited about sitting on the bench for another year. He is already 28.
Patriots also have a real problem with offensive talent right now in general.

Elway would probably jump at that opportunity
I think they run with Drew Lock, who played pretty well at the end of the season.
Although Elway likes his older qb's.

I find it wild that Tom Brady could play next year for a team other than the Patriots.
Is he going to play for the Bucs? Colts? Is he gonna spend his last couple years playing for like 7-9 team.

Mike Pettine would be an upgrade over Pagano and if GB fired him I'd launch Chuck in about 2 seconds to bring him in. Arkush glows about him, and says he's a better DC than Fangio.
He's staying in Green Bay, so you won't have to launch Chuck.
Pagano seemed to do a fine job last year, not sure why you would want to get rid of him anyways.
Around the time that Brett Favre first retired, Hub Arkush said the Packers were crazy for letting him retire and Aaron Rodgers wouldn't be any good. So I'm not sure he is the best judge of things.

Pettine might be on the way out of Green Bay. Strange move as their D was seen as much improved
He wasn't Lafleur's guy and they had some lapses at times this year. Especially against the run and that came to a head in the NFC Championship.
I'm fine either way. I just wonder if Lafleur has someone in mind and the 49ers game was enough for him to move on.

You forgot about the 13-3 Bears team in 2001 that got dismantled by the Eagles at Soldier Field. Injured Bears littered the field throughout that game.
I like all the stupid "Packers were the worst 13-3 team ever" stuff. The Saints this year were the first 13-3 team to lose in the wild card round. Literally the worst 13-3 team ever.

Tyreek Hill is the most dangerous player in the NFL and went in the fifth. I guess you can argue he would have gone late first or second had he not played for West Alabama (as opposed to ‘Bama) and the DV charges from OklaState.
On the field, Hill was utilized very evenly as a running back (25 carries for 237 yards and one touchdown), wide receiver (27 receptions for 444 yards and a touchdown), punt returner (20 returns averaging 10.7 yards with two touchdowns), and kick returner (also 20 returns averaging 23.0 yards with two touchdowns). In his 11 games for the team, he never exceeded 100 yards rushing or receiving, and averaged 135 all-purpose-yards until a 307-all-purpose-yard burst against Delta State in Game 8. After this, his production tapered off quickly to a season-ending -3 all-purpose-yards against the North Alabama Lions.[19]
The 49ers might want to talk to that N.Alabama defensive coordinator.
Yeah, Hill was probably going to be a early first round guy if wasn't a garbage human. I think he ran like a 4.26 40 yard dash or something like that.
I'm curious to what Henry Ruggs runs, he could put up numbers like that. He is my dream player for the Packers, but I think he goes top 15-20 this year.

Well, there are probably some exceptions, like Derrick Henry (2nd round).
Chubb, 2nd round
McCaffrey, 8th overall
Elliott, 4th overall
C.Carson, 7th round
Fournette, 4th overall
J. Jacobs, 24th overall
Mixon, 2nd
D.Cook, 2nd
Yeah, there is usually one or two a year maybe worth taking early and by early I mean top 20 or so.
For all those guys, there is also a Aaron Jones (5th round), Phillip Lindsay (undrafted), Alvin Kamara (3rd round) and so on.
Although, I do see the running game in the NFL kind of making a comeback. So maybe teams will start to value that position more.

Haven't seen it yet, but my assumption is that every big-budget british film needs to invite every british actor or they get upset.
Kind of what I figured. I like all three of the actors, was hoping they would be in it more.

Let go by six teams, that ought to get a week’s human interest story on him alone.
Yeah, I saw that. I didn't even remember him being with the Bears, must have been in preseason.
It also goes to show that you should never draft running back early in the draft or pay them big money.

1917 was really intense.
There was three bigger named actors in the beginning, middle and end of the movie. All had very short appearances, I wonder if that had any meaning behind it or was just to have some bigger names in the movie.

Who the hell is Raheem Mostert!?! Good lord.

Finally got around to seeing Joker, it was solid. Joaquin Phoenix was really good and I thought the score was really good.
Dolemite Is My Name is still the best movie of the year for me so far. I'm gonna watch Parasite this week.

People like sports teams not from the city they live in for different reasons. It might be their parents or a team was really fun to watch growing up and it just stuck with them. My best friend is a 49ers fan because he grew up watching Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and stuck with it. I get it, those teams were fun as hell to watch.
It doesn't make you any less part of that city.

I am from Chicago, live in Chicago and am a lifelong Packers fan. My grandparents were big Chicago Cardinals fans. They hated the Bears/Cubs and were all about the Sox and Cardinals. When the Cardinals left for St. Louis in 1960, my grandparents couldn't stomach rooting for them in another city but also still hated the Bears and couldn't root for them. My grandfather swore off pro-football but my grandma ended up a Packers fan out of her hate for the Bears. There was a hardcore subset of Cardinals fans that eventually just picked another team to follow. So maybe the reasons are petty or stupid why she chose that team but growing up, I was close with my grandma and start watching games with her as a kid in the Don Majkowski days. Been my team ever since. If I am not a true Chicagoan because of that, then so be it.
I have a similar story. My grandfather was a Cardinals fan, so my dad never had any ties to the Bears and starting liking the Packers in the 60's.
I could care less if it makes me less of a "Chicagoan".

I still can't wrap my head around that Texans vs Chiefs game.
I had a feeling the Chiefs would come back a little bit, but not by halftime. Then to not only win that game, but to win it by 3 TD is wild.

Pretty much, but it is what it is.
I mean I would do the same, so I can't knock it too much.

I hope the 49ers beat the crap out of GB next week.
The Bears fan yearly tradition. Sounds like fun!

I doubt the Titans would let Tannehill go. If he hit free agency for some reason, I bet he makes around 20 million a year.
Why would the Dolphins just release Rosen? He is young, cheap and still has potential. I would bet they could still get a draft pick for him.

Teams are also interviewing McDaniels.
Yeah, I think some of the damage from the Colts situation might be wearing off.
-
It was two years ago. Should he not be able to be a head coach ever again?
He hasn't had a an offense rank outside the top ten in points scored in almost 10 years.
Teams are interviewing Jason Garrett, Jim Schwartz. I mean take a chance for once. Teams that haven't won a championship or made the playoffs in ten years, better not take a risk on that guy, we might be bad like always.
-
Josh McDaniels is the only Patriots coach worth hiring and no one is going to hire him.
-
He won't last past the first ten picks or so.

Parasite was great. There was so much going on and it incorporated to many different themes.
