@MikeReiss the refs are ruining the NFL…watching the Chargers get screwed by the refs in the last few minutes of their game. Seems like there are way too many flags in all NFL games. College too for that matter.
Tedy Bruschi on ESPN NFL Countdown (on Mike Vrabel, his former teammate): "He's the right man for the job ... it's been bad for the last two years with the New England Patriots organization.
"When they hired Jerod [Mayo], at the press conference, a big word that was used was 'collaboration.' Everybody's input and all that stuff; well, I don't know how much it is that any more. And I think that's a good thing.
"Because Vrabel isn't going to joke around, Vrabel is going to tighten the screws. In my opinion, there are some people in the front office that need to be told, 'You don't know what you're doing and you need to take a step back.'
"...I love the hire. Of course, this guy is a friend of mine. But there is going to be a change. I'm a little bit surprised that this happened because there are some people upstairs in the organization that want to be heard. And sometimes they're going to have to take a bite of 'Humble Pie' and understand 'your opinion doesn't matter on this one' because there are people in the building that know more.
"I hope that is what happens this time around because the collaboration project did not work. I'm glad it's going to change a little bit to a coach that has more experience and they know what they're getting exactly with Mike Vrabel."
As many as 125 Atlantic white-sided dolphins became stranded Friday on Cape Cod and at least 10 died, prompting an intensive rescue effort, according to an animal rescue organization. https://t.co/O35SVeYbxR
Hard not to root for the Oilers tonight. Not only coming back from 0-3, but putting all of Canada on its back to end the 31-year drought. A poetic parallel to the 2004 Red Sox
