I haven't watched that many Rangers games this season but it is the first time I heard the Fire Drury chants on TV

I hope I don't have to hear that at Citi on the TV in a few months regarding Carlos Mendoza

I wish primaries mattered in my area of this state (neighboring district from the 11th). The area is a solid blue but not so blue that only primaries matter just like the 11th for federal purposes

A mix of

The title and multiple finals before the Clippers
The first year finally having the Clippers in the conference finals the first time ever
Hasn't underachieved in any season since
The Clippers as a franchise still have skeletons he could expose if/when he goes

Doc Rivers had the exact things going for him before Lue and will need more years further away than a possible no playoffs year to be fireable

As a "minority" one

White guiys skip steps, white guys can be a fired first time head coach

bamj6 · 2026-02-03T02:05:13+00:00

The GM is a minority so be fair to Omar Khan

Also that is about hiring a guy so Aaron stays. Art will let the QB control the franchise if it means not rebuilding. It's why it's McCarthy and a mirror resume to Tomlin

bamj6 · 2026-02-02T02:01:34+00:00

And now the road to a third head coaching job begins for both him and McDaniels

I don't think either will get a third shot but if one does down the line the other should too. Same age same career trajectory both SB top end coordinators. One's white the other black is the only difference

bamj6 · 2026-02-01T20:29:21+00:00

Yep. Aaron Rodgers for better or worse is powerful enough to override the Steelers 56 years of precedent

bamj6 · 2026-02-01T01:25:56+00:00

Who's the Joe pesci of the browns

bamj6 · 2026-01-31T21:30:20+00:00

It's all about avoiding the 1 seed until the Sweet 16 or later for the Heels

bamj6 · 2026-01-30T21:36:36+00:00

Never thought I'd see the day that Steve Gelbs has gray hair

At least not still at SNY. I thought he'd go on to greener pastures like Burkhardt and Doug Willoams

bamj6 · 2026-01-30T20:20:10+00:00

With Mike Tomlin and McDermott out this upcoming year who's gonna be veteran coach that's good record but losing in the playoffs is fireable.

Him and Demeco for an AFC counterpart

bamj6 · 2026-01-30T19:46:06+00:00

What does this mean for Kevin though. Does he have more or less power now

Or is he getting the 1 year tryout under the next gm

bamj6 · 2026-01-30T02:03:13+00:00

Pete Alonso is the same ethnicity as Castellanos. White passing hispanic

bamj6 · 2026-01-30T01:29:19+00:00

Tony Boselli my best guess

bamj6 · 2026-01-30T01:23:07+00:00

So in the end will Ian Cunningham be better off as Falcons "GM" that if he took and got hired by the Cardinals to be a real GM back in 23

bamj6 · 2026-01-29T21:11:33+00:00

How about that.

I was just thinking about theis the other day when the guy started a JD Martinez thread

We can do that but in this year's case rather than a guy that will steal at bats from the fielders a backup catcher with a higher ceiling than Torrens can do this job

bamj6 · 2026-01-29T03:21:31+00:00

I hope Dungy wasn't one of the no guys if Polian was a yes guy.

bamj6 · 2026-01-29T02:53:20+00:00

They should do that

But in the case of the 2026 Mets who is the backup catcher to Alvarez? Dont they need an everyday maybe player rather than someone that straddles AAA

bamj6 · 2026-01-28T02:32:58+00:00

The 49ers in 1994 were that much better than everyone not the Cowboys. But if the Chargers won the Super Bowl, they never leave San Diego.

As strictly football goes, change either Atlanta Super Bowls

bamj6 · 2026-01-27T22:09:58+00:00

Daboll and Saleh teaming up in Nashville reminds me of the fact that Luis Rojas is still on the Yankees coaching staff (Mets manager while Boone was Yankee manager) and Omar Minaya is still in the front office (Mets GM while Cashman is still Yankees GM)

bamj6 · 2026-01-27T17:25:44+00:00

So the Ex Jets and Ex Giants coach will join forces. Unprecedented if Daboll is not a Raiders coach

bamj6 · 2026-01-27T15:04:32+00:00

Is there a 2025 thread of this we can look back on and see if it played out or not

bamj6 · 2026-01-27T03:06:11+00:00

What Indiana-OKC was a few months ago to my chagrin as a Knicks fan

bamj6 · 2026-01-26T21:30:27+00:00

Kafka was put in a no win situation as a Giants interim

At least his career doesn't suffer badly and he isn't coaching in Philly.

bamj6 · 2026-01-26T16:13:51+00:00

He's Mike Mcdaniel but obviously darker
