I don't hate the patriots! Tom Brady went to the university of Michigan.

I don't think a team that is just 2 seasons removed from being the worst team in the league has been cheating for decades and has an owner in the Commish pockets and destroyed important evidence to save face. Or the time with not giving opposing team fans to dry off the football or the time they deflated them. Tho I will give you this. Oh, how about in 1984 when they stopped the game to get an ex-convict to clear a space on the field with the snow plow so only the Pats kicker could make a game-winning FG. Jon Robinson, the Titans GM used to work as a scout for the Pats and so far his drafting for the Titans last 2 years has been stellar. So maybe he did use the Sports Almanac 2 from the year 2020 and used a time-traveling Delorean to get it to find the best players without risk. He's been far too accurate for him to not be able to tell the future. The only one he dropped the ball on so far is Kevin Dodd. Oilers-Titans cheating is a joke. They have had too much heartbreak and been cheated like the 1979 AFC championship game.

Most teams perform varying levels of gamesmanship.

I would say the titans drafts with robinson have been a little above average. I mean let's be honest, there's about 4 starters in all his draft classes. Good but not great.

Um, what. Byard has been very good at S. Jackson is amazing, he's shaping up to be a good CB and already a stud in the return game. Brown has been great at LB despite his smaller size. Conklin is an All-Pro Tackle. Henry is a stud at RB, he could start now but Murray is but they still alternate. Davis is super talented just hurt, but the dude is a great WR and will win contested balls most the time. Taylor has been great and he is fast. The game speed he's been rated the fasted player this season at 22MPH, he's been key. Jonnu Smith is a clone of Delanie Walker. Smith has needed no time to adjust to the NFL. He's also been great at blocking and scored 2 dynamic TDs in 3 games. Walker in 3 games this season is rated at the best TE in the NFL. Cronk at #2. We have 2 Walkers at TE. J-Rob has been excellent. We have 7 starters from his draft classes but the rest are not simply because there is a talented Vet in front of them like Walker and Murray. People shit on J-rob when he dumped DGB for Kelly and it turned out to be a great trade. In his 2 seasons as GM they went from one of the worst teams in the league to an up and coming AFC team to beat. It began with the talent from the draft and FA. Mostly he's been building in the draft. They are building the team in textbook fashion.

Could be worse. You could be a Bears fan.

Anyway, as a Falcons fan, I'm glad to see we're back to our usual terrible record. Don't want to get our hopes up again.

I think there's a lot broken in Dallas right now beyond Dak. I don't know how much to put on him, but it has been a terrible stretch of games and I'm concerned.

Losing Mullen does stink. I wish he'd have stuck around, we'd pretty much erect a shrine to him just for getting us to 8-4 with a good bowl game every year. I mean, we're Mississippi State, for crying out loud. I have a friend that is a Detroit Lions fan, and he remarked that the situations were rather similar. And it's absolutely true. :(

That being said, it looks like we bounced back pretty well, snagging Joe Moorhead from Penn State. He's apparently a very bright offensive mind, and we could use a bit of creativity on that side of the ball. For all of Mullen's developmental capability, he also tends to be pretty safe from a head coaching perspective.

Sorry you're dealing with all that stuff at Tennessee. I did see a satire article yesterday that was pretty funny, saying that Kim Jong Un had turned down the UT coaching job. :lol:

Probably the dirtiest hit I've ever seen. Gronk should be suspened for the remainder of the year. Screw him and his bullshit apology.
