You didn't berate any female Panthers fans, did ya?

Just took the first out to do their business and it's currently 10°F out. Looking forward to wind and snow this afternoon before wrapping the tyke up in three pounds of wool to take him to his brother's wrasslin meet. Pitchers and catchers report in a month.

Lateral move for a defensive coordinator that had NFL talent in every position but regressed from last year. Tells me CJF wasn't all that interested in keeping him. Dan Connor has that job coming to him anyway. Connor is Franklin's successor.

Oh thank the god.

Allar is coming back to the surprise of nobody. Half the line are coming back. States offense *should* under year 2 of Kotelnicki cook. The defense is going to need some work but the talent is there. If DDS sticks around (he had a monster playoff, he may get some draft grades that send him packing) he will be DPOY next year.

Makes sense. The Euro had Singleton out, which was substantiated by his absence from enrollment documentation, but der Ikon came through in the clutch when both Singleton and Allen... excuse me, "Fatman" tweeted similarly-worded releases indicating they're coming for everyone's ass.

Singleton is coming back. Allen is coming back.

I mean. That's not the end result I want lol. I just want the Secret Service running snow plows.

I'll sacrifice a total fringing if DC got a 02/05/2010 storm on Inauguration Day.

The wind blew down my entire neighborhood's trash toters (96 gallon cans) this morning after the trash collection. It's like @canderson's 9/11.

Very light snow currently falling and 31°F. Feels very warm after the last week-plus.

What genius decided to schedule the Buccaneers vs Commanders game for SNF?

I honestly forgot the Jaguars existed. Oddly enough their owner owns Fulham Football Club, which is relatively successful in the Premier League for a club with lesser means. So the owner is better at spending money than hiring personnel. Maybe they should hire James Franklin as GM of Football Operations. That dude is elite at hiring personnel.

Here's my take on NFL: It's great. Once you get past the television crap and having sports betting shoved down your throats. The NFL is the absolute best sports league on the planet when it comes to equality among its franchises. With exception to true poverty franchise like the Browns and Raiders, it is almost impossible to suck year in and year out with how the league is structured. When was the last time the Colorado Rockies were good? Their one fluke season where Rocktober happened and they got their stool pushed in in the World Series? Compare NFL to World Futbol. Today my beloved Tottenham Hotspur Football Club played a bunch of part time soccer players in the English FA cup, a team that was 96 places beneath them in the football pyramid, and Spurs almost lost, but they didn't and they move on. Meanwhile in league play they're closer to relegation than promotion and they're one of the largest clubs on the planet. The top four or five clubs on earth (Football Club Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, to name a few) have hundreds of millions of dollars more to spend than teams in their own domestic leagues such as Crystal Palace Football Club or Ipswich Town Football Club. Why? Because there's only Financial Fair Plan rules in world football that require the clubs to spend less than they make. Which is something baseball won't even require outside of a bullshit luxury tax structure. For all that alone, NFL is incredible. And it's generally a great product.

I hate you lol

I just don't think I'd be able to go back. Fire scares me more than almost anything. I'd be afraid of it coming back as I slept.

Mine do not but they both got super fat this winter and have grown full, thick coats. Haven't done that the last few winters.

I'm telling you people. My cats knew something when they started eating bags of food in a day back in October.

Sounds about right. I have a hard time believing the machine can really crank with the last ten miles before coastline being frozen

Currently the Lakes are 11% frozen.

I have to believe Erie is almost frozen.

Stop the steal...ing of all the warm blankets.

James Franklin is a shitty used car salesman who is surprisingly good at recruiting coaches. Unfortunately he's a NFL WR coach who can't convince a single decent wide receiver to enter the portal or enroll at Penn State. Julian Fleming being a five-star recruit is a joke and is an indictment on the recruiting process. I don't care how good you are, Carawissa, Pennsylvania produces five star at nothing. At all. Ever. He sucks. If he went to any other AA school not called Southern Columbia, he's probably hopefully using a degree to earn a good, honest living. But our beloved former Packers WR coach convinced the King of Catawissa who flamed out in Columbus to come to State College and do piss all. Great recruiting, league WR coach. Last night is on Franklin. The defense shit all over itself the second Leonard went into the tent and Angeli came out looking like Unitas. Because Angeli also looked like Mark Sanchez dropping the ball and falling down, he had to settle for a FG so Tom Allen did absolutely nothing at halftime. Why didn't he have a strategy? Why didn't the shitty used car salesman enforce some defensive changes? Who made Allar look like a monkey fucking a football out there? Drew Allar. But who was calling for throwing plays when there are no wide receivers and Tyler Warren was being covered by the entire greater Chicago metroplex? Andy Kotelnicki. But you know who could have told him to run the ball? That's right, the shitty used car salesman. The shitty used car salesman sucks. But here's the question: Who among us is better right now? I don't see that person out there and I'll end with this. The shitty used car salesman sucks, but the wrong replacement can turn Penn State into... Nebraska. And nobody wants that.

I feel like post-heart attack Lou Brown in Major League II right now.
