Yup. It was according to the rule, and I completely agree that Brady was simply speaking common sensically, not saying that it should have been called a fumble despite the rule.

I know someone who went to high school with Vrabel in Ohio, and this guy was very academic, probably a bit nerdy. He has told me he observed vrabel quite a bit and he was someone with razor sharp humor, but not known for being a bully at all. This guy said he actually seemed like a decent...

Yeah, that would make sense, but I'd still like to see it specifically addressed. There might be something buried in the rules that defines "possession" wherever it appears in other rules. That would be wild to see a game decided like this. :)

Hi. I have read some sites but do not see this specific question addressed. Suppose a team gets the ball first, and commits a fumble or interception, BUT on the return, the defense-turned-offense ALSO fumbles and the original offense recovers. Would this count as a possession for the second...

I think the defense needed the rest. Shanahan didnt give that reason, but he might have thought it. But it's a good reason all the same, IMO.

That might start to change with Harbaugh now coaching Herbert. Its probably asking a lot for a 6-11 team to jump to a division champion in one year, but it's not that big of a leap to say it could happen.

I think this raises a good point about the prudence of requiring any kind of statement on apparel. I know people who are pro Palestinian that might not be keen on wearing an antisemitism pin (and yes, I know one can be against antisemitism and pro Palestinian, but someone might suspect that an...

Right--in logic, Of p, then q (if minority coach, then happy) does not mean if non p, then non q. That is known as a denying the antecedent formal fallacy. My sense is that having a black coach, is a plus for most black players, and a fair number of non black players (white or otherwiuse)...

Many are seen as having that potential, but not that many are assumed to become such until the inclinations are verified by actual coordinator experience or whatever (e.g., Kellen Moore). At least in football.

The point about interest from other teams is a good one. I read that Mayo was seriously considered by the Eagles, and mainly was second because they wanted an offensive focus. It would be better if 2019 was an inclination but not a conviction until the contract last year.

Doing some "math," I noticed: Kraft said beginning in 2019 trip to the Holy Land, he thought of Mayo as the next coach. Mayo returned to the team in 2019 after working at Optimum. I wonder if in fact Kraft invited him to the Holy Land, and/or if Mayo decided to come back into the league, in...

I am uncomfortable with Williams. I would prefer they dont draft him.

I dont want Williams. I am worried we will feel forced to take him if he's there.

Right about upstate New York--remember Jim Brown at Syracuse! :)

It actually has grown in popularity, and Kraft and BB do care. :)
