      'huge loss of talent in KC' is overselling it a bit with the scheme change. Biggest change this off-season is at defensive coordinator.

        I think the Browns are going to flop/not do as expected. They are the trendy pick, etc, but there is always that team that "wins the offseason" and then it doesn't work out on the field.

          Second shoulder surgery...reworking the throwing motion late in his career...which, interestingly, could go either way. He wasn't a great passer before, maybe this fixes or improves that a little? Just as likely, I think, is a sharp decline...
          Cam replied heavily on his arm strength versus timing and arch. This year will be the crossroad whether he gets a max deal.

          It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

            At this point, I wouldnt be surprised.

            Although SB will be in 2020, this past decade we've seen Blackhawks,Bruins,Kings,Capitals,Blues,Mavs,Warrio rs,Cavs,Raptors,Giants,Royals,Cubs,Astros,Saints,S eahawks,Eagles all break 30+ year old championship droughts or just win their first ever title.


            Wonder who's next in the NFL? 19 teams have either never won or have gone 25+ years without one.

              I'm cautiously optimistic about the Steelers since the draft/dust has settled. Still they have a decently tough schedule, wouldn't be surprised for an 8-8 type year.

                I think the Packers and Saints picks are tenuous. Packers for the fact that I really think there's going to be an adjustment period between Rodgers and the new coaching staff. They're already butting heads about how much freedom he has in calling plays at the LOS. As for New Orleans, the way they lost last year and the fact that Brees is older (his production started to slow down towards the end of last year) makes me think they'll probably make the playoffs but I wouldn't dismiss the idea of things going off the rails.
                Who's butting heads about his freedom at the LOS? Rodgers and the coach that is no longer there?

                  Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

                    I hadn't seen there was friction there. Interesting.

                      NFC:
                      Eagles, Saints, Falcons, Packers, Vikings, Rams

                      Discuss...
                      - Assuming the Cowboys stay healthy, I don't see how they miss the playoffs. They've got talent for once. Not saying "OMG legit Super Bowl contender!!!" or anything - I really hope Kellen Moore has a more creative offense than Scott Linehan did, because it can't possibly be less creative - but between the roster and likely at least four wins in the division, forecasting their missing the playoffs entirely feels like they are being sold short.

                      - I think only one team from the NFC North gets in, be it the Bears, Packers, or Vikings. I don't know which one of those three is better than the others. Packers by default I guess because they still have the best QB in that division by miles, though I think the Bears and Vikings both have better rosters in totality.

                      - Rams might be due for a step back? I worry about Todd Gurley and I still don't think Jared Goff is very good; I wouldn't re-sign him, anyway. I could see the Rams getting edged out in the division by Seattle (though I hate how they run their offense nowadays). San Francisco is good enough to at least be feisty, and I have no read on Arizona right now; maybe they shock everyone and are competitive. NFC West ultimately feels like a one-bid division as well.

                      - I'm in full sell mode on the Steelers because I don't believe in addition by subtraction and further I don't think present-day Ben Roethlisberger is very good. There are at least a dozen quarterbacks I'd take ahead of him right now. That probably qualifies as a hot take.

                      - I'm pumping the brakes a bit on the Browns. They have made some splashy moves but I think they might be one more year away. More importantly, I want to see Baker Mayfield take another step. I might be underselling him, but to me right now he's basically a reincarnated and more likeable version of the Denver iteration of Jay Cutler. I want to see him be better than that; if he's not, then IMO Cleveland is gonna be stuck in 8-8 territory for a while. Still an improvement over most of the past two decades, admittedly, but I don't want to crown him too soon.

                      - By default I think the two above points mean I like the Ravens more than ESPN does. This doesn't make me very comfortable, admittedly, but John Harbaugh is probably a top five head coach in the league still IMO, so I trust he and his staff can figure it out.

                        I don't get the infatuation with the Browns. Yeah, they *might*

                        Haven't people learned already that teams like the Browns, Lions, Jets, Raiders, Jaguars, Texans, Redskins, etc are "prove it and prove it for multiple years on end or we'll just keep ignoring you cuz it's the same old ****" franchises?

                        Honey traps are just that. Sports fans are the worst with recognizing patterns.

                            A KC broadcaster lumped this and his son's heroin overdose together. 'Andy Reid is not good at fixing people'

                            Wow.
