In this job market?!?

The Coyotes are currently the least valuable team in the NHL, valued at $675M.

It's interesting that the entire hockey world pounced on the Connor Bedard's mom rumor and had great fun with it. When it's conventional wisdom that all hockey players are insatiable sexual degenerates, you know, maybe that's why people didn't believe Kyle Beach when he said he didn't like it when a guy sucked him off. So are we criticizing this or reveling in it?

Hockey players certainly love sleeping with each other's wives and sisters, but moms? That's a new frontier. Probably something involving someone on staff.

Why are we discussing ThE gAmE in here?

Because we're talking about Jim Harbaugh's comments on it, which came when someone suggested Harbaugh could be the new coach of the Panthers next year, where there is now an opening because they fired Frank Reich. Try to keep up.

It was supremely annoying when certain fans were adamant that the Big Ten could never have a conference championship game. The reason? The Game. If you had a conference championship game, the season wouldn't end with...The Game. Nothing can possibly hope to come after The Game. Why don't you Big Chill out, dorks.

Harbaugh is going to be the top coaching hire. He is not going to the Panthers. I don't think he's even going to the Bears or Raiders.

I was gonna say "what's Dom Capers up to these days?" as a joke and then I looked it up and he's an assistant coach on the Panthers right now! Give him his old job back. It'll be funny. 

I just checked and Jim Caldwell is already there too! Real life is stepping on my bit!

Sounds like a job for Ron Rivera.

Currently putting out feelers to Jack Del Rio, Mike McCoy, Jim Caldwell (Rooney Rule compliance), and Chiefs Blackface Kid (Rooney Rule compliance if Caldwell doesn't pick up the phone)

Tepper is an Owner to Watch. He's a meddler and meddler's can be very fun. They don't know what they're doing, but they think they can alpha boss their way into sports championships the same way they alpha bossed themselves to a fortune with their hedge fund scams and it doesn't work in sports because sports don't let you game the system in the same way. 

Remember when the Panthers were owned by a regional hamburger franchise baron who would be like "why honey I do declare you must have been poured into those jeans" and called guys the n-word? In a limited sense, they downgraded from that!

How young and hungry or old and desperate do you have to be to take the Panthers job this offseason? Your #1OA quarterback you traded up for is a boy among men, the rest of your roster around him sucks ass, and you have no first-round pick this year to show for it because you also traded that (and your #1 WR) to the Bears, who are somehow possibly an even dumber franchise than yours. This is a job for the guy who gets coffee for the guy who gets coffee for Sean McVay, or, like, Ken Whisenhunt.

Oh and the Panthers fired Frank Reich after 11 games. I guess he should have done a better job of having a 15-year-old at quarterback.

I go for the idea that Brady/Belichick was an equal partnership at first, but Brady overtook his coach in significance somewhere around 2007-10.

The first three Patriots championships were about defense, special teams, the run game, and Brady doing just enough at the right time. Brady certainly came into his own by 2007, but even then, drawing penalties was a pretty big part of his game. 

I wouldn't call Belichick a passenger, but it does seem like he finally ran out of good players and Patriot Way buy-ins. If there were, we'd have heard of them by now. His stuff doesn't work when it's just a bunch of dudes.

Getting real tired of the "rolled up waistband" look. Can the multibillion dollar sports league let these guys tailor their short length to their liking? It looks terrible

hahahahahahahahaha they're high school girls rolling their Soffe shorts!!

NBC went with an offset top view of the Browns helmet in the 90s, I guess to avoid having a plain orange rectangle to represent Cleveland?

They also used a square with the old Optima "BROWNS" set at a 45-degree angle.

I like this one because it feels the most Canada Modern, Minnesota being, of course, the most Canada-like state.

No joke, I heard multiple people who thought the patch was a Native American because the league was honoring them on Thanksgiving. If you look at it very quickly, it does kind of look like the old Washington logo.

Big chief say 90 percent of game half-mental

It's 50% of the actual Drake's.

Looking at Detroit's home slate outside the division, I see Atlanta, no, Carolina, NO, Seattle, no, Denver, rather not, Raiders, maybe. The choices were basically Packers or Raiders to pull a national fanbase and the Raiders entered the season coached by an incompetent moron. 

The Cowboys don't really have to be worked around quite the same way but I know most people love that NFC East. I think Rams-Cowboys would have been good, though. 

The Seahawks hosting a Thanksgiving game still clangs. Give the night game to an old AFL team.

Jack Harlow was the halftime show in Detroit.  So can someone explain to me his appeal?  Because I don't get it.  

Have you ever felt sad about your friends, so you put on some Drake, but you're like "whoa, hold on, I'm not that sad about my friends"? That's what Jack Harlow is for.

No they don't, and the maps are still interesting.

I remember Popovich always being kind of tedious in a basketball-Belichick way. The healthy-scratch crisis was like 2011 or 2012, but that was in service of winning a title.  He didn't join LeBron James as one of America's leading public intellectuals until the Silver era.

San Antonio fans, to their credit, stood athwart NBA gentility culture and booed more loudly. 

Greg Popovich got on the mic in the middle of the game to scold Spurs fans for booing Kawhi Leonard. Just yelled at them like they were unruly children at a homecoming rally! It's one thing to get on the mic in a last-ditch plea for sanity if, like, everyone's throwing garbage and a riot is about to break out, yeah, but just booing the road team shooting free throws? Imagine that kind of scolding for booing the guy who left town in baseball or the NHL, where it's every at-bat or every puck possession. You can't. That's King Canute commanding the sea. What a bizarre, bizarre league.
