They're going to have to get rid of the message therapist and make room for a PR team to document how "Legendary" Sanders is going to be...
If he flames out, and I'm giving the kid credit by saying "if", it will be interesting to watch the excuse bus driven by him and Deion.

Do the Browns need a kicker? They probably could have gotten something for him.

I think the Browns might actually need a kicker, but there's no way they could touch Tucker after the whole Watson thing.

Although, it would be a hilarious troll...just as long as they don't actually pay that scumbag.

Tomlin reportedly was behind Pickens' trade.

Blow it all up. Trade TJ while he still has value.

Disappointing, but not surprising. Pretty much knew this the second they drafted an LB with pick 33.

I have never really "hated" the Browns, but this gets me closer. Add Desmond Howard and my turn to the dark side will be complete.

Colts forgot to get licensing permission before releasing their schedule video.

Lions pull their re-seeding proposal.

Tomlin's comments are probably why. He's got a point.

They need to stay true to divisions. Division winners, even sub-.500 ones, deserve a reward for winning their division. There are easily realized scenarios where better teams winning in better divisions would get punished by re-seeding, while worse teams in worse divisions who skate to an easier record are rewarded.

I'm not against re-seeding, but they really need to think it through and find a fair system. It probably won't be one based just on Ws and Ls. Perhaps they can include some division strength metric?

Divisions are the most similar schedules are going to get. Maybe the NFC East gets an easy 2 divisions, but the NFC South gets 2 hard ones. Too many discrepancies across divisions. And, if only the top, why even bother having divisions?

You need to listen to Bill Simmons. He rails against the stats people all the time.

"Why did they go for two there?"
"Because the stats say to"
"But what did the situation say to do? The feel of the game?"

Bill is right. Stats are good, but shouldn't be the end all, be all.

As for divisions, it's not hard to prove that sometimes weak divisions happen and sometimes they get scheduling help.

I'm mixed. I think stats find inefficiencies and opportunities, but understand that the moment is n=1.

BTW, the tush push rule was beaten.

There's really nothing wrong with it, but it is a no fun play that seems guaranteed every time and usually results in a pile up that makes replay impossible, so it results in lots of spotting errors.

I think I'd prefer it gone, not because it's cheating, but because if every play is the tush push, football will die.
