@ScootersBaba @CourtneyRCronin The rule literally says General Manager, his title is General Manager, and he will be doing exactly the same job as every other General Manager across the league. The Falcons even said so themselves.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@CourtneyRCronin Then sue them. They’re the charter franchise of the league. Goodell doesn’t want that smoke.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@CourtneyRCronin Clarifying what Primary Football Executive means by specifying GENERAL MANAGER and then arguing, “woah woah woah, we didn’t actually mean THAT kind of General Manager” is some Grade A bullshit. Words mean something.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@CourtneyRCronin The rule *explicitly* states the title General Manager. Matt Ryan has literally zero experience as a football executive in any capacity. Ian does. Ian will be making the football decisions. The Bears should appeal, and they should win.

@NondescriptCube @AllGrit313 @2KEVlN Even if they wanted to- he doesn’t have to accept that if he doesn’t want to stay in Detroit. He can leave and take that same promotion elsewhere.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@AllGrit313 @2KEVlN That’s simply not how it works. You can’t force a promotion on him to keep him in Detroit. He’s a position coach there. That’s it. He is free to take a coordinator job elsewhere, and there’s nothing Detroit can do to stop him.

@jacobinfante24 @c_f_89 We have a sample size of exactly zero for Johnson, Coen, etc.

@adamjahns Cruel & unusual punishment.

@gridironborn Fair. And he's a legit woodworker IRL, too. I might need to go to a stache.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@JNicholsonInDC The confirmation hearings oughta be good. He has no shortage of enemies in both parties.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@GBraggsJr23 I wouldn't be shocked to hear that some of the titles these guys had/have were name only. Suspect it's one of those "sign here instead of team X, and we will call you something better than just a position coach" things. My guess is this will be a bigger change than many expect.

@AGoldmund I'm finally committed to making the switch. There seems to be new energy around the migration- enough of the accounts that I actually care about following are moving.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@AdamHoge I'm seeing a renewed push to leave here and get on the other platforms, and I'm a billion percent here for it. Get the other Adam and Fishman over onto Bsky!

@BillTZimmerman @GBraggsJr23 I have a few of these kids on the 4th grade girls softball team I coach. They like picking up handfuls of the infield dirt and making big dust clouds.

@frankmforrest @NicholasMoreano Justin Jones also produced far more than his 2 year, $12m contract. He played well enough here to earn a 3 year, $31m deal from Arizona.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@frankmforrest @NicholasMoreano TJ Edwards and Andrew Billings are home runs.
Swift, Demarcus Walker, Edmunds have been fine. Byard has been good. Bagent, Sanborn were UDFAs.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@JohnnyGarciaSTL @HerbHoward411 Yes. Claypool hurt because you gave up a draft pick, but Davis ate a decent chunk of salary cap, took up a roster spot for 1.5 years, and prevented them from seeking a real solution at a position of weakness. And I have to imagine was a bum in the locker room- when he was there.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@NicholasMoreano I think Nate misunderstood the whole “if you don’t hear an offensive lineman’s name, he’s doing a good job” concept.

[Kurt @kurttalert]

@MisterCiv He’s got Vice President written all over him.
