Luke-warm take: It’s ok to be annoyed if a guy refuses to shake your hand before the game.

On the Dunc’d on podcast preview of the Knicks, Duncan speculated that the Knicks, with their 9000+ power forwards, were setting Fizdale to fail. He then recommended that Fizdale, at whatever point he knows his firing is imminent, that he go down firing by starting an all-big lineup:

C - Mitchell Robinson

He’s going to get plunked in batting practice tomorrow.

“This is exactly how you win a game, just run every play. Keep ‘em guessing because they’re gonna expect you to throw it eventually, but they’ll be wrong.”

Given the DC area traffic, JG probably went straight from the stadium to Ashburn

to be fair, 5am is when you have to leave to get to Ashburn by start of business

Sounds like a pretty good way to start the week.

Gruden: Why so early, boss?

tell you what, dabo swinney’s gonna have one hell of a time turning this franchise around

Plus now he has the whole day to himself!

Shocking that the owner of a sports team in 2019 with a racial slur for a nickname would do something shitty. To a white guy, I mean.

I watched the game last week and can tell you why. 

$5M to go away (assuming he gets paid out for his 2020 deal) AND he doesn’t have to continue with that dumpster fire of an organization?

Sounds like a pretty good way to start the week.

5am? My Lord that’s early. I can just picture Snyder there in his office, across from a barely awake Gruden, stirring his coffee with a sleeve of gatorade cups.

Snyder had to get it done before the sun came up and he was back in his coffin. 

Kind of unprofessional not to do it first thing in the morning, and instead wait until he was two hours into eating tape.

This is also what the Raiders did last year - and they got their ass beat to a pulp by the Seahawks. Gruden flew earlier this year specifically to avoid the same thing happening

The Raiders went to London right after their game on Sunday, and had all week to acclimate to the time zone change. The Bears didn’t arrive until Friday night. The Bears looked exhausted during that game, and I have to think that jet lag had a lot to do with it. It’s like none of the Bears coaching staff has ever…

So you’re saying football, like all organized religion, should be wiped off from the face of the planet to make the world a better place?

I love Football. I believe Football ranks up there with Religion as a way for people to find meaning in their meaningless lives. But seeing him drop limp shook me to the core. It is supposed to be a game.
