They are going to wipe the floor with KC.

The Bills were decimated on D and the Chiefs barely squeaked out a win against basically Josh Allen by himself.

That Ravens team is the most complete team in the league.
I’ll be stunned if they don’t. I just don’t love the world where the Ravens are somehow the better option

I’m goin Jeudy, Javonte or Russ……. Not really sure about defense or OL…… I thought most of those units played above their abilities. Russ had the most fumbles by far but he also had a lot of plus plays/contributions as well (I still want him gone but I think his contributions were flat this year - lots of good but also a lot of bad).

Thinking back on 23 Javonte didn’t really offer much. I hope he spends a lot of time conditioning and continuing to recover this offseason because he’s about to lose his job.

I think Jeudy takes the cake though. I think he’a played his last year here. He’s got one more year left on his contract, and I’d dump him in the draft while he’s still got contract + an ounce of value left on him.

So who gets the Broncos Least Valuable Player Award, the Gerald Perry Trophy?
Simple. Russ. 11 wins in 30 starts, 250M. While the numbers were better this year for him, anyone who actually pays attention to football knows that those numbers are extremely misleading and inflated because Payton dumbed it down for him. And it worked for a couple weeks but crashed hard the second teams caught on to the high school playbook.

Guy was bad at best this year. Who struggles with basics like recognizing the blitz or going through progressions. And is nothing more than a C/D rate starter that if you throw him on a loaded team he might be able to game manage enough to squeak into the playoffs.

I can't recall a player I've disliked more than Russ. And that includes Melvin I can't hang onto the football Gordon. He's a con man who duped Paton into an absurd contact without playing a game, then he stopped giving a shit and it showed on the field.

what’s going on at University of Arizona is just incredible. They miscalculated their budget by $240 million dollars. U of A isn’t even that good but holy cripes is college sports just tainted with money.

Why in the world did the Bucks fire their coach!?

And no offense because I think he's a good guy and talks the game extremely well...but why do teams just keep recycling Doc Rivers? He's the Norv Turner/Peter Laviolette of the NBA.

Apparently it is because the defense has regressed to bottom-10 in the league.

Almost like adding one of the worst defenders in all of basketball in Lillard and subtracting one of the best in Jrue Holiday affected that or something.

Do whatever they can to keep their GM happy.

Was wondering where Andruw Jones was on the list of all time defensive greats and came across Mark Belanger instead……Interesting dude - not in the hall but played mostly in the 70s and is 2nd in all time defensive WAR only behind Ozzie Smith. But this guy was just downright AWFUL offensively - .228 batting average over his career. Yikes. I get that he’s not in the hall because of offense but #2 defensive all time great? Maybe he should be.

God, I hated Jones. Had the most smug smirk on his face every time he walked up to the plate.

Hated a lot of those Braves teams that destroyed everyone in the regular season only to choke in the playoffs.

I was lukewarm on the Braves. Grew up a huge Cubs fan and was destroyed when they let Maddux run off to the Braves. Stupidest move ever. Greg Maddux was a magician on the mound.

Jones always did kinda seem like an arrogant ass to me though. I never appreciated him until later in his career when he was close to retiring.

I truly miss those days of being young though and having an interest span long enough to be interested in even half of baseballs crazy ass schedule. I have no patience for the sport anymore.

I grew up on the Braves. Definitely THE most frustrating team I have ever rooted for. They needed Bobby Cox to push better buttons in the playoffs. Whatever he was doing didn’t work and he never changed. SO frustrating.

He's an elite coach but that roster is garbage outside Herbert

Harbaugh has already failed in the NFL. He'll fail again.
He’s a jerk, cheater, a-hole…..everything above. But watching Michigan play Alabama - they couldn’t have missed maybe more than 5 tackles that whole game. He’s a heck of a coach. Personality is just nails on a chalkboard tho.
