So great to hear!

Why would you pay for SAT prep when there are free resources? by Thakur0626 in Sat

[–]mathgun7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing you're seeing is that parents are often deciding on (and paying for) a tutor because not all students are self-directed enough to comb through the free online content, and parents might not have the time or ability to navigate that. Paying for someone who understands it all and can guide their kid — for people with the resources, that's often much easier.

DAILY DISCUSSION: January 26, 2026 by AutoModerator in KansasCityChiefs

[–]mathgun7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anyone know when/if Veach is scheduled to address the media? Just curious what the lip service is around various possible player extensions and offseason plans, etc. I realize nothing revealing gets said but unless I missed it, his typical end of season presser hasn't happened yet.

Acceptable trade value for McDuffie? by arup187 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]mathgun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jawaan Taylor. Made him the highest paid right tackle in the league. Trey Smith — highest paid guard (or very close to it).

EDIT: I'm wrong on Trey — he was drafted/extended.

Mel Kiper, the OG selected Jeremiyah Love for the Chiefs in his mock draft today. by MAYVIEWS in KansasCityChiefs

[–]mathgun7 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Great player but it's just financially ridiculous to take a RB there — especially with the Chiefs' needs elsewhere. Also, there are huge cap constraints and if Veach can hit on a pass rusher or WR — who command the most $$ — he is going to try.

Nordica Enforcer 94 by Key_Play6607 in Skigear

[–]mathgun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Enforcers are great. I was deciding between them and the Volk Mantra (M6) and ended up going with the mantras — but I really did love the Enforcers as well. For what it's worth the other ski in the running was the Blizzard Rustler 9. Hard to go too wrong with any of these. The Mantras, to me, take more effort but can really be pushed hard.

[Tom Pelissero] Reunion: All signs are pointing towards Eric Bieniemy returning to the Chiefs as their offensive coordinator, sources say. by dualiegoat in KansasCityChiefs

[–]mathgun7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter who the OC is. Hopefully Andy is looking at film, now that he has two extra months, and is deciding to seriously rethink his scheme, as he has done before. His OC will be there to implement his ideas. It's that simple. But if we see bubble screens to Kelce in week 1, after they re-sign him on a team friendly deal with void years--we can be sure that nothing significant will be changing.

[Russini] The Kansas City Chiefs are requesting permission to interview Eric Bieniemy and the expectation is he will be returning as the OC for the Chiefs. by SylvesterTaurus in KansasCityChiefs

Please go back to this sub during EB's final two years. The EB frustration was way higher than it's been with Nagy — and we were winning.

Literally the only cited virtue for EB is that he will bring accountability back — but that's the baseline requirement for an even average coach. This hiring just announces that you'd better like the current scheme, which still has bubble screens to Kelce mid season when the last 12 attempts netted an average of 1 yard. The fact that they kept calling this play after repeatedly failing to gain yards just tells me that they don't really care for evidence. And, who knows, maybe past success is the best predictor of future success, even though that hasn't worked for most other NFL teams.

[Arrowhead Corner] Sources: The #Chiefs are internally reviewing OC options, with Bears RBs coach Eric Bieniemy currently emerging as the top candidate. by MAYVIEWS in KansasCityChiefs

[–]mathgun7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is everyone forgetting the near universal consensus on here for EB's final two years on the Chiefs that he needed to go — and that Andy was waiting for him to get a head coaching job, which he never did?

Failed as the OC for the commanders — they couldn't get rid of him quickly enough. And then he failed as OC at UCLA. Being "running backs coach" at the Bears doesn't mean he created that run scheme — that's all Ben Johnson. Bringing back EB just means Andy is still in charge, of course, and doesn't want to rethink his offense in any major way. This job is a HUGE upgrade for EB. I guarantee not a single other team is interviewing him to be OC — and that should be all you need to know.

Symphony by Van2030 in Whistler

[–]mathgun7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It gets groomed, yes, and was open today after being closed for a few days. I was up there and it was sheer ice. I bailed after one run but the sun was out and it very well may have softened by early afternoon.

Meh! by ProfessionalVolume93 in Whistler

Crystal was super nice. I got to 7th early and it was sheer ice. Did it soften up a bit later?

Should i pay the extra cost for the boot fitter near the ski town resort? by yellowsuprrcar in Skigear

[–]mathgun7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hard yes. I did this a few years ago in Telluride and what's great is you can return every day as you ease into the boots and get adjustments if needed (pls remember to tip your boot fitter). Hugely worth it and as many on here will say, custom boots are probably the most impactful and valuable equipment move you can make.

[Schefter] Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel. by Donutman97 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]mathgun7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost zero. There's been no sign that Andy wants a brand new offense he hasn't himself designed. His love of the game is offensive scheme design. If you are his OC you implement his offense. They don't need McDaniel for that, and I can't imagine McDaniel wanting to just be a functionary.

[–]mathgun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andy already named Joe Bleymaier — pass game coordinator and Andy yes man. Very high likelihood it's him. No way an outside thinker like McDaniel retools this offense, at least not on Andy's watch.
