“innovation” as far as the NFL goes is “try something new, until opposition watches film and finds a way to stop it.”

Would Faulk be that expensive? The Canes have been trying to trade him for over a year and they just signed Gardiner a few weeks ago, so their D looks pretty good. Not that Faulk, who’s not exactly great in his own end (to be fair, neither is the mercurial Buffy), will save the Jets but I’d think he could help patch…

In terms of counseling, I would suggest going to couples therapy first (“no honey, nothing is wrong but Person X told me how much of a positive it was for his marriage, so I think we should try. At least once or twice”) and if things go well, perhaps use that as an avenue for her to explore some shit on her own.

I agree but I was referencing the people who hate the idea of finding market inefficiencies who call Moneyball specifically the program that the A’s employed that was discussed in Lewis’s book. Just Google “why moneyball failed” and you’ll see all sorts of SMART MEN shitting on it because they don’t get the larger…

I hadn’t seen an update as to his availability which is why I said him or Falk.

I hear that, my friend. Perhaps an independent third party can help break through to your wife and help ease the tensions with her family. Perhaps not. But IMO it’s worth a shot. Good luck and hope everything works out for the best, or as best as possible.

I disagree. Most of those “failed” because defenses came up with their own innovations/changes to combat them. You can’t come up with some new and then say, “OK no one is going to be able to combat this, let’s rest on our laurels!” And some of them are still working (hello Lamar Jackson) but have issues that aren’t…

I hope you give therapy a shot first, dude. If things are 75% OK between you & the spouse, that’s pretty damn good IMO.

Didn’t Live have a Nazi moment?

I’m definitely not in favor of OP confronting his future MIL. I just am saying it might not get better after they are married. 

Unless the wife is one of those “sh’es my mother, so warts & all I’ll deal with it” and wouldn’t appreciate OP telling her mom to fuck off.

The anti-analytics streak in football (and previously in baseball, although that’s mostly been beaten to death in the majors) really is weird. I get coaches being conservative because it’s easier to notice someone screwing up than just going along with the groupthink, but you would think that owners, who probably all…

For sure. My wife shares a few pictures of the kid on Facebook. Everyone of them my mom shares with her friends with a caption like “my grandkids are my life!” or “I miss these boys so much!” even though she hasn’t called them in weeks (“well if the 4 year old misses me, he can always call!”) and keeps putting off her…

I do think that once you two are married and ensconced in your own domesticity that the problem will become less pronounced.

Mineshaw’s mustache is a national treasure, he should only be mentioned as elite (and not Joe Flacco elite).

I’ll grant you Brissett but Jones is a 6th overall pick in the most recent draft and Mineshew has a fabulous mustache, so neither deserve to be on the list.

We are likely going to see Kyle Allen, Mason Rudolph, Teddy Bridgewater and either Trevor Siemien or Luke Falk getting starts at QB next week.

Trump’s favorite part of Klesko has to be his disgusting baseball chin, right?

Sure, New York has always been known to be a place with measured, reasonable takes...
