    The #Rams announced they fired OC Frank Cignetti. Assistant head coach Rob Boras, who was second choice as OC, takes over.

    Defensive background head coaches shouldn't struggle this much with offense. But some do. It should be the most attractive job to qualified OC candidates, but somehow they screw it up. Especially if they control personnel.

    See also, Chuck Pagano and Mike Pettine.
    Pettine doesn't control personnel. But that's such a mess that Shanny left town because they forced him to play Manzier and other interferences during games, etc. Worse than Al Davis because: incompetence.

      Controlling personnel just exacerbates the situation. Being HC is enough to screw up an offense as a defensive background head coach (see also Rex Ryan).
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        This has never seemed more apt.
        I can't run no more
        With that lawless crowd
        While the killers in high places
        Say their prayers out loud
        But they've summoned, they've summoned up
        A thundercloud
        They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

          #Bears have placed TE Martellus Bennett on season-ending injured reserve with a rib injury & signed TE Rob Housler.

          OUCH

          #Bears also signed QB Matt Blanchard, a familiar face, to practice squad and released QB Justin Worley from the PS.

          If you were the Cowboys, wouldn't you want to have Blanchard?

                    Today I learned there were some geniuses in New York that killed someone in 1979 with a flying model lawnmower, during a Pats-Jets game, of course!

                    Snopes recounts the tragic account of a spectator at a 1979 football game who was killed by a flying model lawnmower.


                    Relevant because today is the 36th anniversary of the death.

                      I read about that a long time ago.

                      I don't recall the original because I was 17 and had a one track mind which put football for the first time and only time in my life on the periphery.

                        You can still buy plans for that kind of thing. Take a lawnmower engine and make your own hovercraft.

                        When I was a kid it was a tossup between that and rocket boots for my meager savings.

                              Speaking of Arena League teams, there's a team there, Portland Thunder that went 5-13 and made the playoffs.

                                Since I'm bored,

                                So about six weeks ago or so, could be longer as it was right before Vick got sent back to 3rd string, I'm listening to NFL Radio and the two hosts get into a literal argument. The first host called the second host Maurice several times. I assumed it was Maurice Jones Drew.

                                Anyway, "Maurice" literally insisted he'd rather have Michael Vick as his QB than all but maybe 5 current starting QBs. He said he'd start Vick before Cam Newton or Jameis Winston. It was funny as hell as the other host was literally at a loss for words at the utter idiocy of his argumets.

                                If that was Marice Jones Drew he took too many shots to the head. He wasn;t backing down one inch.
