@realjohnboy,
Not sure if it was yesterday or today but coach Jackson of Raiders went bu-bye. Raiders appointed as GM Reggie McKenzie.
A bunch of asst coaches were hired.
Ryan Grigson (formerly with Iggles) was hired for Indy Colts GM. Jim Caldwell is still coach, so far. By March 8th, Colts have to decide on whether or not to give Peyton $28 M bonus and/or draft QB Luck. Talk about needing to hit the ground running
Funny. No one has called.
@George,
is it possibly your smile?
@Ragman,
What's wrong with my smile?
@Ragman,
also... former miama HC tony sparano is the new OC of the NYJ, replacing brian schottenheimer...
@Ragman,
I'm considering Chapstick as an alternative.
@realjohnboy,
I'm mixed about Hue Jackson. He was intemperate, in contrast to the guy across the bridge, but I'm not clear he's not a good future coach. May not be, expresses frustrations to press, against both the players and the organization. I can see his point, but he's missing a synapse on personnel acumen.
@ossobuco,

Starting to stretch my nag muscles with 48 hours until the 1st game kicks off on Saturday afternoon. I am looking for Mysteryman, Tico, Rockhead, Ehbeth, Mis Cowdoc, Fbaezer, Tsarstephan, Thack and Soupkitchen.
I checked the weather forecast for Green Bay. Some snow, as I recall, today and tomorrow. If someone has the time, please report on the weather this weekend in Baltimore, San Francisco, Green Bay and Boston.
Foxboro MA
Saturday: partly cloudy, windy; high 32F, low 17F
Gonna be a frosty night at Gillette.
Got a good supply of beer and snacks laid in.
All home projects are officially on hold.
My Patriots hoodie is near at hand.
I am ready for some football.
The Ravens/Texans game will face the likelihood of flurries. I picked the Texans to win out of sentiment, but I do wish/hope they can pull it off.
Johnboy had to be nagged, also:
NO (30-19)
NE (32-13)
Balt (25-20)

What about me? Why am I not getting nagged after playing for the entire season? And I am not doing half bad, don't you know (as they might say in Minnesota).
Did you know (I bet you didn't) that the U.S. Treasury says that many more of my fellow coins came out of the closet this past holiday season; out of the piggy banks and into the economy. Banks returned excess coins at a much higher rate then usual.
Where was I? Oh, yes. Football games. What is going on there with me?
@Coin-Toss,
Some gave me a 2 Euro coin as change the other day. It's close to the size and weight of a toonie, but not quite.
If no one else has a good coin to use, I can loan out, heck, I can donate, my 2 Euro coin to the tossing cause.
