Per @SethWickersham: When Bill Belichick and the Patriots divorced in 2024, Sean Payton considered presenting Broncos owner Greg Penner a proposal for the ages: Hire Belichick as head coach until he reached 15 wins, enough to break Don Shula's career record of 347. Payton would temporarily step down to assistant head coach and run the offense, then move back after Belichick became the all-time leader. In the end, it was too complicated -- and maybe too fanciful.
@McShay13 In a vacuum that may be true, but in KC’s situation it’s more about opportunity cost. To add an Edge, T, or WR in FA is more expensive. There also aren’t high end players at those pos. that hit FA. Walker gives them that at RB and allows them to take a premium pos. in top 10
Baker didn't forget how it ended in Cleveland for him 👀
Mayfield will now face his former head coach Kevin Stefanski twice a year after he was hired by Atlanta 🍿
@MikeBellATL@AtlantaFalcons I always thought being a sports radio host was the dream job for me growing up. I grew up and became disgusted with the job that y’all do.
ESPN sources: the Atlanta Falcons are finalizing a deal to hire Kevin Stefanski as their new head coach. The two-time NFL Coach of the Year flew to Atlanta on Saturday, and now will stay on to take over the Falcons’ head coaching job.
Twitter algorithm is trying to get me into talking about how Raheem Morris & Terry Fontenot were DEI (Blank Foundation) hires, but I’m not gonna take the bait.
Keep seeing everyone praising her. I guarantee you Stiechen & Ballard hate this. No GM or HC wants to have an owner micromanaging them. If they weren’t winning this would be a totally different narrative.
NEW #COLTS OWNER CARLIE IRSAY-GORDON HAS BECOME THE BEST OWNER IN THE LEAGUE.
Indianapolis has the best record in the league at 7 and 1.
Irsay-Gordon has completely changed the culture, involved at every level of the organization, active with the players
Everything Blank has done has been backwards. From football terms, to the experience fans get at the game. It gets worse every season. We don’t enjoy being apart of the culture he has created. On the field, or in the stands.
Falcons CEO Rich McKay made a surprise appearance on @CelliniNick & @chrisdimino — and trust me, you don’t want to miss this one if you’re a Falcons fan.
“Arthur’s very smart, very caring, and he listens. Be assured — he hears the fans. He knows the angst."
“I know the role I’m supposed to play. I haven’t tried for years to be on the football side — that’s not my role.”
Props to yall for asking him questions most wouldn’t have in an interview, but this goes so much further than the performance on the field. I’ve been going to every game with my dad for 25 years & counting, and it leaks all the way down to the $upporting fans experience. (Cont.)

Mike Tomlin is the most overrated coach of my lifetime. Perpetually is given talent from the front office on both sides of the ball, perpetually hires mediocre to bad offensive coordinators, and perpetually finishes a game above .500. Black Jeff Fischer.
