I don't really care about this kind of thing anymore these days. My 2 teams
have a long way to go before I even consider about such NFL rankings.
Cowboys & Titans want be going anywhere soon as far as winning any SB Title.
As for the Lions they deserve to win it all. Lord, they've been big losers for so long.

If I were the commissioner, I'd work hard at getting London or Northern Europe some quality games played there. Maybe have two qualities teams once a month in a game that actually matters and eventually develop a desire for a European city to buy a current team that's not so great, but not terrible.

I had to go back & add that one word (big) at the end.
You keep coming around lording this crap over us so expect a little disagreement.
You knew I was going to be sarcastic w/my answer w/you telling us almost daily.
Lions haven't done anything for most of us to rally around them to be our team now.
I'd rather root for the 49ers before I'd be pulling for the Lions.But keep pounding us w/this garbage about how great the lions are though. Love ya for it. ;)

I figured you didn't know or you did know and were knowingly trying to sell a misleading comparison. You sound like the people who used to be booted when they ragged the baseVols.

We won, btw. You're ruining a great play in Vols history by twisting it against our team. Just relax and root our guys on.

Sorry but we have a young QB that is having his development stunted because of horrible playcalling and horrible OL protection. If they don’t know how to work around that then the OC and OL need to go. Miami and A&M wiped the floor with that Florida team in the Swamp and we continue to struggle to even reach the 20 point threshold on offense, even at Neyland. If Nico had just been handed the team last season then he would have had all these road experiences and growing pains out of the way. Our program would be in a much better place had Milton never come to Tennessee. Not a knock on anybody’s character or anything like that but I call it how I see it. Nobody said fans have to be sunshine pumpers 24/7. These “kids” are making so much money now and about to be getting revenue sharing so this is considered a job. If you aren’t good at your job then you either find a way to get better or they find someone who can do the job expectations. The hand holding and conservative playcalling needs to come to stop. Not today, not tomorrow, but yesterday.

And my wife had it put in the fanciest frame she could find 😜🤣🙄 i’ll try to remember to post a photo of it.

You may not realize it, but you’re talking to a guy who has a roadside stand purchased velvet Elvis hanging in a half bath.

(thankfully my wife gets me 🙂)

Last time I was in NOLA, I tried a new menu item, the pelican burger. It was delicious, but the bill was enormous.

Who call Syracuse a big deal in ACC? Dabo

Last time we played them iirc they had a QB named... Donovan McNabb. That was 1998. 😀

I hope we get to keep our home and away with Washington.

(Wait we beat Syracuse in 2001, too.)

The coaches should not be fired. If the best Jimmy and Joe at each position ain’t living up to expectations, firing the coaches solves nothing.

So Florida should keep Billy Napier? And we should have never fired Dooley, Jones, and Pruitt? I guess if you want a mediocre program then you should never get rid of poor coaching.

“I don’t think I’ve ever called for his job. I do think he should let the OC and OL coaches go though. It’s pretty evident all they are coaching is the run game since nobody knows how to pass protect.”

I provided evidence that it’s not coaching, it’s essentially one O-lineman that isn’t performing. That lack of performance is also impacting a young, QBs performance. But okay fire all the coaches.

This has nothing to do with Napier, Dooley, Jones, or Pruitt.

I’m not calling for sweeping changes, just the two weak links. OL has been an ongoing issue, not just this year but last year too, and the playcalling has been trash ever since Golesh left. Halzle has zero creativity and doesn’t know how to mask the team’s weaknesses.

Florida should definitely keep Napier! Do it.

As for all the rest of it, I have no idea what things are being claimed.

FAFO .... don't give Marshall Dillon any lip. When he tells you to pay up for
the damages you caused in a bar fight last night you better pay up or get
the dog 💩 beat out of you & then told to get the hell out of Dodge & don't
come back. It's best just to comply w/his instructions on point #1 he issued.
