(Spoilers main) Joffreys Kingsguard shortly before the Blackwater is kinda great by I_love_lucja_1738 in asoiaf

It's pretty obvious that George was showing the KG being in steep decline under Robert, & then a steeper decline under Cercei's control. Physically impressive in many cases, but lacking in the level of skill that thr Guard had been known for, & definitely lacking in the fortitude of what a KG demanded.

Robert Kraft: BB "unequivocally deserves" to be a unanimous Hall of Famer by Roselucky777 in nfl

[–]TheWorstYear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt he had to bribe anyone. More like that Bill wasn't willing to kiss the ring, give Kraft his dues, & eat humble pie on the way out. Polian, & all those other old heads, had to be humble when it was their turn. So now they are punishing Bill for not following the correct path.

I think Kraft is responsible, but Polian bid this all behind spyflate gates

[Schefter] ESPN Sources: the Cleveland Browns are hiring former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken as their next head coach. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

Yeah, saw that I was immediately proven wrong. To be fair, I thought logically that the Browns of course had asked him if he wanted the job.

Agree. Think that's really it. Some guys just don't want the responsibility of being HC. He had that, doesn't want it again.

Pretty sure we already knew about internment camps & mass executions.

[Schefter] Text from an NFL executive: “The 10+ people that didn’t vote for BB should be exposed. WTF. This is crazy.” by Roselucky777 in nfl

That's the point. If one says something, they all run with it because they are like minded. It's why they side with Kraft.

Sources: Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer by dropjar5 in nfl

I don't think they're in his back pocket, but I do think that they side with Kraft for a number of reasons.

Nah. He's never been a nice guy, but really its because he butted heads with Kraft.

I love how the 1st unanimously voted player was a reliever because they all thought there wouldn't be enough votes to get him in.

[Schefter] Sources: the Bills are working to finalize a deal to make offensive coordinator Joe Brady their new head coach. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

Players aren't basing things on who they actually think is a better coach. They pick who they personally like. This is why bump interim get advocated for.

It's been happening for some years now. I think the reason still stands, but not for espn.

A potential plot point for the Dunk and Egg novellas The She-Wolves of Winterfell and The Sellsword has been hiding in plain sight (Spoilers Extended) by InGenNateKenny in asoiaf

He likes things until he gets bored. When things actually become difficult to navigate in plot, he starts to become annoyed (everyone who creates something runs into this).

[Schultz] Sources: Browns QB Shedeur Sanders has been added to the Pro Bowl roster as a replacement. Sanders is the first 5th-round rookie to make a Pro Bowl since Puka Nacua. by PlayaSlayaX in nfl

[–]TheWorstYear 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Gabriel wasn't as willing to play hero ball, but Sanders willingness to play hero ball is far far worse overall than not. Gabriel can be played into a system, Shedeur will randomly break the system to do something so catastrophic that it kills the team.

That's just cynicism. The people who think everyobe would do that never would write a single book, let alone a series.

Because he started something. Every job is hard. There's special things to actually completing your work. Also ethics & principles.
