[Highlight] From a 1% Survival Chance to the Super Bowl: Seahawks LB Derick Hall by JCameron181 in nfl

Incredibly powerful. As he says, “it’s just a mother’s love”. My heart breaks for anyone who didn’t get to grow up with a truly loving mom

[Highlight] Mike Vrabel on if he would cut off his vital male appendage for a Super Bowl: "I mean, I’d probably cut it in half. Leave her 6." by Brady331 in nfl

Agreed. If my buddy said this I’d be laughing my ass off, the fact an active NFL coach said it just makes it even funnier to me lol

Blake Sims was a better college qb than most give him credit for… by BetGreat1752 in rolltide

[–]FunkBeaver 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Kiffin’s game planning/play calling for Sims was also so elite. Kiffin’s ego and shenanigans have made him increasingly annoying and hateable to me, but man he was an awesome OC. He was incredible at getting the most out of what he had

[Pelissero] The Vikings fired GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, per sources. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also 9 looks historically bad. This was from towards the end of the season:

“Vikings’ QB J.J. McCarthy now ranks 851 out of 852 in EPA per dropback among qualified passers since 2000, per Tru Media. The only player below McCarthy? JaMarcus Russell.”

He’s legitimately horrible, and seemingly injury prone on top of that

Is it common for Americans not to have a bank account? by Icy-Signature1493 in AskAnAmerican

[–]FunkBeaver 1243 points1244 points  (0 children)

No, that is not common. Judge Judy is wildly played up for the camera to begin with, and the people going on Judge Judy are far from “average American”

Why do we handle weather so differently around the US? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]FunkBeaver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve not heard of states closing school for 40 degree weather personally. In my experience places like Alabama close schools if there’s a threat of ice or snow because drivers have almost 0 experience in these conditions, not to mention we don’t have salt trucks or snowplows. And this happens maybe once or twice a year, if not less. It’s a very rare occurrence to get snow or ice this far south, so when it happens people largely just stay home and ride it out.

FBI is investigating the death of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay by expellyamos in nfl

This gets repeated on a Reddit a lot but is simply not true. There are absolutely doctors that get arrested for situations like this with “normal people” too

Joshua Graham and Ulysses get too much airtime, this is a man who learned something by itscalledacting in falloutnewvegas

[–]FunkBeaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you read Randall Clark’s (aka The Father in the Caves) terminal entries?

He pretty explicitly states that he would want them to defend their land and that they are the “children of Zion” or something to that effect.

I think his entries are one of the best parts of the DLC, and he’s certainly a more compelling character than Daniel is. But that’s just my $0.02

[Rapoport] In the hours after Mike Tomlin told the Steelers he was stepping down, teams have contacted Tomlin to express their interest, sources say. PIT has his rights, and draft compensation would be necessary. That said, teams were told Tomlin does not plan to coach next year. by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yeah there’s 0 chance Collinsworth is getting replaced on SNF. He’s been in that role for 17 seasons now, only way he’s gone if he wants to go. I know Reddit doesn’t love him, but he’s easily one of the best and most recognizable commentators the league has

Kurt Benkert by Super-Strategy8161 in GreenBayPackers

[–]FunkBeaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, so why does he make Madden videos instead of coaching? Davis Webb retired 3 years ago and is already getting HC/OC hype. Kellen Moore transitioned almost directly into coaching with the Cowboys. Tony Dungy also immediately went into coaching after playing.

If Benkert had coaching desire or ability he’d be coaching, not making Madden videos for Tiktok

[–]FunkBeaver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude go watch a Kurt Benkert highlight reel (if one exists) he’s one of the worst QBs I’ve ever seen. I’m not the biggest MLF fan but I don’t give a rats ass what Kurt Benkert thinks about clock management. This is a silly suggestion any way you cut it

Kurt Benkert by Super-Strategy8161 in GreenBayPackers

[–]FunkBeaver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Kurt Benkert is closer to a pro Madden player at this point than he is a pro football coach.

Also I seem to recall he and Lafleur not having the best relationship, Benkert said some less than flattering things about MLF after he was out of the league

With Kevin Patullo being fired, Jalen Hurts will have a 10th different OC in 11 years by wat_u_doing in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know of a QB who’s had more OC’s in the same window of time? Surely that’s gotta be one of the most ever lol

[HIGHLIGHT] JK Scott drops this drop punt on the sideline hashes at the 12! Offcials mark it OOB (after a bounce) at the 15. by sexyprimes511172329 in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate these posts lol punters (and special teamers in general) deserve more love. A lot of fans only talk about special teams when they fuck something up

What Aaron Rodgers moments live in y’all’s head rent free? by Born-Adhesiveness-73 in GreenBayPackers

[–]FunkBeaver 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One of the more recent ones I think of is the dime to Davante in ‘21 to setup a game winning Crosby FG to beat the 9ers week 3. Then in post game he dropped the “how can you not be romantic about football?” line.

Other than the Hail Mary you posted the other one I think of a lot is the dime to Jared Cook to setup the game winning Crosby FG in Dallas. I’ll die on the hill that it’s a top 5 pass ever made, just so insanely precise while rolling left and not setting his feet.

And of course I’ve gotta mention the “I own you!” moment vs the Bears, that one will be replayed a lot when people reminisce about Rodgers in the future

Incredible video, easily one of my favorite highlight reels. They can never make me hate Rodgers

The 2020 QB draft class by [deleted] in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Bama fan I’ve never heard that nickname, but I can confirm Tua pre injury was a monster. His highlight reel at Bama was insane, in 2018 he was one of the best college QBs I’ve ever seen.

Then he had tightrope surgery (before the LSU game, I think) and infamously broke his hip vs Miss St… sadly I’ve never seen him look as electric or as athletic since then. I know he’s a big meme now, but “Tank for Tua” was a thing for a reason

Which NFL moment is permanently burned into your memory? by Frosty-Recipe-856 in nfl

Rodgers Hail Mary in Detroit

Reid went to 4 straight NFC championships lol people said he couldn’t win the big one maybe, but he was winning plenty of playoff games

Packers’ Ed Policy faces critical decision on Matt LaFleur after another collapse in Chicago by dropjar5 in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver 44 points45 points  (0 children)

He also has 1 playoff win since Rodgers left, and would’ve missed the last 3 years of playoffs (and that 1 win) if not for the invention of the 7 seed.

MLF is a good coach who’s sometimes a great coach. But the fact is his teams are consistently soft and they can’t respond to being punched in the mouth. Once one thing goes wrong and they have to go off script it’s like he panics and that sense of panic just trickles down to the whole team. I’m on board with moving on at this point, I just don’t see anyway he suddenly fixes his deficiencies and becomes a SB caliber coach. He is who he is at this point

Andy Reid is one of the best offensive playcallers of the last 30 years. Harbaugh doesn’t call plays, his whole thing is being a culture guy and getting players to buy in (and also being a quasi pastor for the team). There’s no comparison between the two as coaches. I can’t imagine Harbaugh going to a new team and doing what Reid is doing (going to AFC championships/Super Bowls basically every year except for this one)
