Tepper fined $350K for being a child.

Is he the new "worst owner in the league"?

Got to be him or Spanos, right?

Ravens benching Lamar.

Obviously the right move. He's your whole offense and Steelers-Ravens games get nasty. Protect him for the playoffs.

Kelce will deserve the HOF.

Will his brother? I'm thinking yes. TEs have shorter careers, so they have to dominate when they're at they're peak. I think it's safe to say he has.

Him, Gronk, A Gonzalez...I don't think there's another TE anytime recently that would deserve it?

"Best coordinators" named.

As voted on by players, so LARGE grain of salt...

What makes the list credible:
No Steelers' coordinators.

What makes the list uncredible:
No Jim Schwartz

Absolutely.

If he gives us another 2-3 years, yes. He's had pretty big stretches of disappearing. The others have been far more dominant.

Would Gronk have been as good as he was without the GOAT?

Yes. Brady had nothing to do with Gronk's physical skills.

Now would he have the stats without Belichick and the coaching staff? Maybe not. Yes, he'd be as physically good, but perhaps he wouldn't have been as featured in the offense. Ask Kyle Pitts' fantasy owners about that.

Ultimately, it's all about getting the right players in the right systems. I have zero doubt that great players have been lost to time thanks to them being stuck on terrible teams or just in the wrong eras.

On this topic, if Drew Bledsoe doesn't get hurt do we ever find out about Brady?

Barry Sanders :(

Not that he's lost to time, etc. But what a different career he could have had.

Bleck. And that's why they'll never win a Super Bowl.

Go Pats, Cards, and Cowboys.

Go Titans because I guess if we're going to have a winning season and get a crap draft pick, we might as well make the playoffs for once.

Toughest division in all of football, scrub QBs all year, and still a playoff spot! #GOAT

Love that he didn't put Watson on there.

Other news:

Tomlin backdoors into the playoffs.

Jags were 8-3 and finished at 9-8. Trevor Lawrence is getting dragged on X right now, rightfully so.
