Have you ever read "Blood, Sweat, and Chalk" by Tim Layden? It's an origin story of the modern game's formation and play designs.

"This is one of the most important sports books of our generation-and a lot of fun too. The formations and philosophies that win Super Bowls and national titles are made crystal clear. If you live for fall weekends, this is your book." - Peter King

I'll put it on my list.

Letโ€™s hope he knows more about evaluating NFL personnel than he did about running pizza parlors 

He was 15 years ahead of the curve. That's why that place didn't work out. The food and service were great, but other than Ballantyne Village and Stonecrest, that area was a ghost town on weeknights and weekends back then. Today that place would be packed to the gills with insufferable transplants, rich, old creeps with young wives, and their cougar ex-wives on the prowl.

I know itโ€™s fun to pile on everything Rhule but his drafts have actually been above average and if you take out the Hurney year last years draft class legitimately was a really good one. Save the inexplicable Fletcher pick all of our picks contributed in spite of Rhule. I know we want to be negative all the time but nah this isnโ€™t one Iโ€™m letting slide our scouts did a heck of a job once Fitt got here.

It's not so bad. Folks tend to leave you alone.

Snow and I will save a seat for you at the table. 

Not only do people tend to leave you alone, they also tend to not put you in situations that you don't want to be in to begin with.  It has a lot of advantages.

    • I agree with this. Florida is going to be tough to beat. But they canโ€™t keep that group together much longer so the hurricanes window might open a little wider.  My problem is the series should have looked the way it did in games 4 and 5. From the second period of game 1 thru 3 were an abysmal effort and the players just looked defeated. I was very disappointed in the overall effort until games 4 and 5. I think itโ€™s very fair to ask if Rod is the right man for the job right now. If theyโ€™d gotten swept again and they lost game 4 like 5-0, id say he might need to go. But I think the team bounced back enough to give him another year with the front office going all in to bolster the roster. Failure to reach the finals with a full push to build the roster to win now, Rod goes next offseason, and the team focuses on retooling around their younger players. 
    • Look very carefully at the jersey numbers and let it sink in.
    • The team had a great season all things considered and definitely overachieved.  I don't think many of us had our expectation level set at deep playoff run after the 2nd Rantanen trade. With the current league format, someone has to come out of the Metropolitan division.  Look at the teams we have to climb over to get to the ECF.  It's not exactly a division that's full of contenders.  Smack around the Islanders and the Devils and now you're in the ECF against the survivor from the better division.
