WILD: When the #Patriots lost to the #Raiders in the worst possible way we have ever seen.
Jakobi Meyers threw a lateral, picked off by Chandler Jones who returned it for a 48-yard TD while stiff-arming Mac Jones for the win.
😭😭😭
I've been out of the loop this week. Struggling. But I wanted to make a few notes on the Russini-Vrabel story I gathered this morning:
-- Russini has a lot of friends in the industry. And yet, not a single one is defending her publicly or privately.
-- Vrabel looks just as bad. However, he's arguably the best coach in the NFL. Any potential repercussions he faces will likely be personal, not professional.
-- The number of people enjoying this story underscores how out for blood this industry is. People rejoice in the downfall of their contemporaries.
-- Russini looks terrible, but the other insiders aren't much better. The majority of them blur the lines with sources as well. Insiders are not journalists. I'm not sure if anyone is a sports journalist anymore.
-- I don't think The Athletic will fire her, but she could have a hard time re-signing or finding a new job.
-- Granted, IF she lied in her statement that The Athletic shared, she should be fired. And probably would be, if proven.
Fernando Mendoza at Indiana’s Pro Day 🎯
• Completed 53 of 56 passes with two drops
• Threw 56 passes in 20 minutes with two very short breaks
• Showed off arm strength with passes that traveled 50-60 yards
• Displayed pinpoint accuracy
• 10 #Raiders staffers there to watch
I wish I could say more but unfortunately everything I know about the alien hybrid program is classified.
Let’s just say some of you would be very surprised who’s not entirely human.
That’s all I’m authorised to disclose at this time.
Report from @MoveTheSticks Fernando Mendoza has been training with Brian Griese installing the Raiders offense already
“This is like what happened with Joe Burrow, the pick is solidified and he’s getting a head start on learning Kubiak’s offense”
Meanwhile on McAfee: “This is one of if not the greatest offseason for a single team in NFL history.”
“Good for the #Raiders, man, honestly. Your team is all of a sudden seemingly stacked. And your best player is back with a bigger chip on his shoulder.”
You have to be pretty stupid and ignorant to think that Eric DeCosta thought he could sign BOTH Maxx Crosby and
Trey Hendrickson in free agency.
What a terrible fabrication.
