Todd Haley trying to get Hue to toughen the team up and get more players out there practicing. Feels like I am back in 2009 listening to Haley talking about getting guys more mentally tough. Also, feel bad for Hue though with his mom dying.

I’ve seen a lot worse live in mansions.

No doubt, she just looked a little trashy. Would probably be good for a romp though and frankly he is about as "Bro tank" as it gets so its probably a good fit.

The fish stinks from the head on down. Sobering comment for Browns and Chiefs fans. Oh I know you'll say the Chiefs aren't the Browns. Forget that. It's about results in one form or the other.

I thought an uncommented bit of the capricious nature of the game.

Mychal Kendricks committed insider trading while an Eagle, and he hid his status from both teams.

But even now, if people think 'Mychal Kendricks of the Eagles' there's a mental image of a SB champ. And if they think 'Mychal Kendricks of the Browns' there's a mental image of a felon.

Truth.

Eliot Wolfe comes across like a little twerp. Nepotism is such a joke in the NFL.

I also liked how the episodes narrowed in scope to only focusing on the fringe guys for the last two. Focusing on the space cadet Cajuste and family man Orchard were good moves.

Roback's girlfriend is kinda gross, though.

I think it's a lot more of a byproduct of the media loving to sensationalized sideline explosions. They sold the story that he and Kurt Warner were going at it. They're actually best friends. We saw him light Landry up last week. Would we have known haley apologized to Landry after if not for hard knocks? Probably not. I've always felt there was plenty of a lighter side we just never see

I think he was the fall guy. Everybody knows Tomlin needs to go. Easier to blame haley. I never sensed he rubbed off badly at all with the coaches and the Rooneys were pretty reluctant to let him go. He was an easy fall guy because fans didn't love his playcalling and because big Ben is a big baby. It at least looks like the steelers did something. Big Ben wants to freelance. We'll see if his 36 year old body will regret that when he starts getting knocked around again.

I mean for real...the guy had a 10-6 season...with Matt Cassel as his ordained QB that he couldn’t do anything about... that’s an accomplishment...

He is also the guy who turned Derrick Johnson's career around.

Speaks might be a candidate for that.

K-Pass, he is going to flash and he is going to look stupid at times learning a new position.

But he is an athletic freak.

It’d be nice if Ford became a consistent beast. It’s about freaking time.
