"And my mission is clear: to create the absolutely worst, most eye-soring uniforms for each team."

Not much to worry about. That has been floating around these interwebz for quite a while. Not sure what asylum it was originally posted from. You know it's bad when it makes Nike or Under Armour's uniform designs look not quite so bad.

That's where I am with him. Assuming we draft Young or Stroud, if Corral looks decent and the coaches think he has potential, keep him. Dalton won't be around forever. The Process screwed both Corral and the Panthers with the way he was handled last year. It was incompetence (or stupidity, or both) at its finest. The result is his value in a trade is minimal. There may be a few teams that would show an interest, but with what we invested in him, the fact he costs little, and the fact he wouldn't garner much in a trade, I think it is better to give him a shot and see if he is worth a roster spot later. If he looks decent, one of those offers may get better as teams try to solidify their rosters for the regular season.

Ah, yes. The Dallas Convicts.

And our HC was at the helm of a Buffalo Bills team that came back from a 35-3 3rd quarter deficit in the playoffs to knock off the Houston Oilers. Coincidence? Hardly. I'm sure somebody can tell me which QB we will draft because of that omen.

Ah, but he'll be easy to spot. Of the people you will be arguing with, he'll be one of the ones making the most sense and committing the fewest fallacies.

We need the next month to pass quickly. Reporters are now opining who our pick is likely to be because somebody did not deny it vehemently enough. And of course, had they denied it, then they would be reporting that. Next it will be somebody asking about Max Duggan.

Seems like an appropriate number for one Chosen Anderson.

You can join us at the Grumpy Old Men's Table, @TheBigKat. Don't be surprised when he puts you on his ignore list in a couple of years, though.

"With the first pick in the NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers select Jake Haener, QB, Fresno State."

This dovetails into the old words about an attorney representing himself and having a fool for a client. That also goes to most people trying to sell their own house. In general, people need to have somebody in their corner serving as the voice of reason and can take the emotion out of the equation. Without that, most people will screw themselves.

Rhule is unproven at a prestigious program like Nebraska once was and wants to be again. I'm not saying he can't do it, but before he started the "it was not my fault, I wasn't given a chance" BS, I was hoping for his sake he would go to Colorado or Arizona State because the expectations will not be as high. A year ago he would have been a pretty go fit for Notre Dame. Once he started his PR tour, my interest in him not falling flat on his face again went to nil. It's not personal, but I don't suffer BS artists well. I expect he will have some initial success at Nebraska. The Cornhuskers were 4-8 last year and have not had a winning season or bowl appearance since 2016, so the bar is low. They have always recruited well "at home." But, after a few years of 8-4 or similar, mid-tier bowl appearances, and an inability to get past the big dogs in the Big10, the luster will wear off. We saw a similar scenario start to play out with Harbaugh at Michigan before they delivered wins against Ohio State. Eating at the same table as Ohio State, Michigan, and often Penn State in the conference, and the likes of Bama, Georgia, and Clemson is something he is yet to prove he is capable of. That level of success takes more than just getting players to buy into the process. It requires the ability to outcoach the opponents Then there is the ability to maintain success. He has never stayed anywhere more than four years to know whether he can maintain success over time. His limited tenures are not a knock, since he was "working his way up," but it does leave another big question mark. So, the leap from Baylor to the NFL was huge and out of his reach. It is rare that that particular leap is not more than even an established top-tier college coach can handle. Problem is, the leap from Baylor to where Nebraska wants to be is pretty big, too.

Quotes don't seem to be loading right now, but @Eazy-E, I'll go one step further (than 1995). I've been watching the NFL since 1969, and with the exception of about a decade starting in about '84 and then the two years that culminated with their Owl loss to the Colts, they have been generally awful.

I actually don't mind the blue, either. But, you are right about the whiskers disappearing, as does most of the outline on the logo. Probably have to change the whiskers to white and use a thin white outline on the entire logo to make it work. Good color, just a lot disappears into it. Better than wearing black on hot, sunny days the first half of the season.

Given our reputation with them, I hope they don't go somewhere that has meat balls. Granted, the main culprit of that is gone, but we've made worse decisions after meat balls than most people do after tequila.

Remember, these are the Texans. "With the #2 pick, the Houston Texans select Max Duggan, quarterback, TCU." I say that in jest, but they didn't get to be the Texans for nothing.

A few weeks ago I said the problem with his contract was that in order to make the numbers reasonable, he would essentially have to agree to play for a year or so for no additional money. He essentially did that. That speaks volumes for him.

I was watching a discussion today about Rodgers while I was waiting for a connection in ATL. It was probably ESPN. Specifically, they were talking about expectations for the Jets if/when they sign Rodgers. It sets up an awkward situation that would be the same for us. For the Jets, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game would be huge. That would make signing Rodgers worthwhile. But for Rodgers, not so much. It is pretty much Owl or bust for him. Of course, even that would leave the question for the Jets "what happens after Rodgers?" San Francisco would have been the best situation for chasing an Owl before he turns into a pumpkin. The Jets have a good defense, but I don't see Rodgers pushing them over the top. Us, either, for that matter.

Short answer is no, I think. The paperwork probably hasn't been filled out because it is not a high priority for him. Sort of like me filing our taxes.

It was a coaching staff and GM problem. Truth is, if Cam wanted to change the offensive style/philosophy and his own role, the onus was on him to push it......because nobody else was going to do it. Especially those paid to do it. Rivera was perfectly happy letting Cam shoulder the lion's share of the burden. It was a little surprising Rivera didn't raise more of a stink about some OL brawn, since the theme was to line our 11 up against their 11 and hope we win enough battles enough times to win the game. Rivera's main fault was not getting Cam the hell out of there when it was obvious he was hurt. Actually acquiring the surrounding pieces was not his job. But I doubt if he ever went into Hurney's office and impressed the need for WRs, or apparently OL either. That leads us to the other end of that problem. A good Hurney draft was getting two decent-good players by the time the dust settled, and not necessarily in the most needed positions. His average was probably just a fraction either side of one. Changing an offensive scheme, or even a defensive one for that matter, would have involved putting the meat balls down long enough to try and find enough players to pull it off. Let's see, meat balls or digging deep into WR and OL talent? Easy decision for him. So, the result was doing the same things and mumbling "it gives us the best chance to win." And they were correct in that, because they were unable to figure out how to do anything else, or even identify the need to do something else. There was no three year plan, or one year plan, or even a plan for this week's opponent that was different from the one for last week's opponent. It was the path of least resistance, which was especially important to Hurney.

I saw that. The report I saw said they actually cleaned out at the end of last year. I'm suspect there will be a parade in the DC area when they are officially out. Foreskin fans can generally be an insufferable bunch (like most fanbases, their long-time loyalists are saddled with the usual hangers on that can't keep their yaps contained), but they have had over 20 years of misery. Meanwhile, I wonder what island without an extradition treaty with the U.S. their stuff was shipped to.

It is certainly possible. I have not jumped on the small "Fitt must go" bandwagon because we have no idea how little or how much he had to say about things when The Process was here. In other words, I don't think I have any measurement that can be used to reliably assess him prior to October 10th. That problem is on Tepper. It has been hashed, rehashed, and rerehashed to death, but giving any HC that type of control is beyond stupid, but especially one whose previous experience with the NFL amounted to a cup of coffee. Between Hurney and The Process, what we learned is Tepper was vulnerable to BS artists. He may have figured that out now.

They can't be excised, they must be exorcised. At this point, I can't say Tepper has redeemed the franchise. We have not seen anything on a football field yet to make that call, unless you consider the team rolling 6-6 under Wilks, when they probably would have been 3-9 in that same stretch under The Process. What Tepper has done is redeemed hop in the franchise. Twelve months ago we had no hope because it was obvious The Process was not being exiled. A year later, we have a coaching staff that is getting accolades across the NFL, made a few smart FA signings, and traded up for the #1 draft pick to (finally) address the QB issue. The devil on one shoulder points out that we have made what look like good FA signings before and tried to address the QB position previously, and almost all those efforts failed. The angel on the other should points out that our past FA signings have usually been guys that "were good two or three years ago," our efforts to address the QB position were half-arsed, and all of these swings were made by one moron or another in our past. This time feels different. Hence there is hope.

We signed Vonn Bell, half the Huddle applauded, half complained, of the half that complained, about 20% said it was the worst signing ever, about 25% of those said they were strapping explosives onto themselves and blowing themselves up. We signed Shy Tuttle, half the Huddle applauded, half complained, of the half that complained, about 20% said it was the worst signing ever, about 25% of those said they were strapping explosives onto themselves and blowing themselves up. We resigned Brad Bozeman, half the Huddle applauded, half complained, of the half that complained, about 20% said it was the worst signing ever, about 25% of those said they were strapping explosives onto themselves and blowing themselves up. We signed Andy Dalton, half the Huddle applauded, half complained, of the half that complained, about 40% said it was the worst signing ever, about of those 40% said they were strapping explosives onto themselves and blowing themselves up. We signed Hayden Hurst, half the Huddle applauded, half complained, of the half that complained, about 20% said it was the worst signing ever, about of those 25% said they were strapping explosives onto themselves and blowing themselves up. It was reported that four Huddlers strapped explosvies onto themselves and blew themselves up. Three-fourths of the Huddle applauded, one-fourth complained, of the fourth that complained, about 25% said they were strapping explosives onto themselves and blowing themselves up. That's it, in a nutshell.

What is in the air in the Packers locker room at Lambeau that causes this to happen? Is the place built on some ancient burial grounds or something? All they need is Brady to start talking about returning, but only if he can play for the Packers and then debate retirement, or not, every single year until he is 65. Maybe they ought to put up a sign on the way from the locker room to the field "Retire Like a Champion." They can demand the QBs all jump up and touch it on their way to the field.
