I'm happy for Andruw Jones. Loved watching him when I grew up. I was also shocked to learn just how underrepresented players who played the majority of their games at Center Field were in the hall of fame. I think 24 CFs in the hall of fame (but if you boil it down to where the majority of their games played or stats were accrued it's fewer), and only 2 debuted in the MLB after 1952... That's insane, so it's probably overdue in Jones and Beltran to make it.
Edit: worth adding that Kenny Lofton not being in the hall of fame is a tragedy.
I'll also add that I know from experience. 2010 GB Packers won the Super Bowl, the started next season 15-1 looking unstoppable. Haven't been back to the big game since, with heartbreak after heartbreak for 15 years.
Lions thought that too two years ago when they lost in the NFCCG, nothing is guaranteed in this league. Think about all the luck that went there way, just to fall short. I don't think they will "suck" but no team is the same year to year.
The only way I'd be fine retaining him is of the Packers hired an actual OC and removed play calling from MLF. He gets too in his head, calls a brilliant first half and gets conservative or too cute it's insane to watch. He also is terrible at identifying and moving on from weaknesses in his other assistants like the disaster that was Rich Bisaccia and Special Teams for YEARS... But if your Head coach sucks at clock management, sucks at building a good staff of coaches and has a undisciplined team, and no longer calls his own plays... Why are you keeping him!!!
They didn't extend his contract. They planned to discuss in the offseason. He's under contract through 2026, I think this game makes it a much more realistic possibility we either let him coach out his deal or move on. We need a culture change. Funny enough Ian Rappaport said that MLF wasn't coaching for his job tonight, can't imagine this game helped...
Matt LaFleur is not a winner either. This team was never going anywhere, but you gotta put that game away. It never should have been close yet every Packer fan who has watched MLF coached teams knew that game was far from over. Says at half he needs to keep foot on the gas and then goes conservative to start second half. Proceeds to lose. Hes just not a winner, and while I am proud to say I enjoy the unique ownership structure of the team, the lack of a singular owner means you hold onto losers longer than you otherwise would. It happened with McCarthy after he's coaching ability went in decline, we allowed Ted Thompson to be our GM with literal dementia for years draft for us, and now we are hanging on to MLF. Hes never been a good coach, just bless with Rodgers and Love.
God I fucking hate the Packers. Every playoff loss since 2010 has been absolutely gutting. Fire EVERYONE on that coaching staff. MLF is not a winner. We will never get past 7th seed with him.

Giants being Giants. In OT they needed a TD to keep the game alive, they did a delayed handoff/draw play on 3rd and 7...
The NFL surely knows how to disappoint me. Packers utterly dominate and embarrassed JJM and the Vikings... Only for the Bears to win a game they should have lost and the Lions to win a game they should have lost. The Bears are incredibly frustrating, should have multiple bad losses, weakest schedule and somehow first in division.
Come to think of it, I really didn't expect PNC to be number one. It's just not the one I think about, but the description of the bridges and the skyline, and the picture backs it up. Had family friends growing up who lived in Pittsburgh in the late 90s/early 00s, and I have some small memory of maybe going to a game there but nothing definitive and I would have been young. May need to find a reason to visit again.

Hahaha. Good luck. I'm always more entertained when McNugget is in the NFL, just happy it's not with my team anymore.
