    Didn't help him throw out Sid.

    It's a shame it took this long. Congrats to the greatest defensive center fielder ever.

    A defensive genius. Just what they need to develop their young QB.

    Anytime I have a player suffer a significant injury outside of baseball activities, I'm investigating. First, I don't think it would offend anyone to look into what happened. Kim knows he's getting paid $20 million and the Braves shouldn't just trust him. It's a business. If your work requires...

    Yep. If Kim was out there doing something dangerous we could likely void his contract. As you noted it's not uncommon to see players lie about how they got hurt off the field. If it comes out he was playing hockey or rock climbing or something, void the deal.

    If I'm the Braves I hire someone to look into the circumstances of the injury. If he was doing something stupid I'd void the contract.

    Stafanski is kind of a meh hire. A couple years ago he looked like the next great coach but more recently he's looked like the league caught up with him and he can't adjust. How often do guys who go sub-.500 in their first HC stint end up being successful elsewhere? It doesn't seem to happen a...

    I wonder if the Dodgers know MLB is going to crush their tactics in the next CBA so they're going all in while they can. The system is ridiculously broken. If it even marginally improves then the Dodgers will be screwed.

    I wouldn't even interview him because if you interview him and don't hire him there's a fair chance he'll sue you.

    I'd be surprised if Flores gets a job considering his current lawsuit against the NFL and multiple teams. I'm actually surprised the Ravens are risking interviewing him.

    There's talk of Matt Ryan taking a big role in football ops. Might even be the guy the GM and HC report to. Definitely would have a huge voice in the hires.

    I'm shocked. I was convinced Blank would bring everyone back. This is exactly what needed to happen and I'm shocked the Falcons actually did it.

    I expect if they fire TF and keep Raheem that they'll give Raheem a huge voice in naming the new GM. The execs can't admit Morris was a bad hire because that would mean admitting they were wrong. So I fully expect they'll blame TF for everything and say Morris needs to pick a GM he can work...

    There are reports that the Falcons are leaning towards firing Fontenot and keeping Morris. Only the Falcons could be that stupid. I have no problem if Fontenot gets fired but at least he has some good draft picks to hang his hat on. Morris has been a complete trainwreck. Firing TF and keeping...

    I've come to terms with Morris being back. Blank is a great businessman but an absolute idiot where football is concerned. He loves Morris like a son and Morris can throw all the buzzwords out that makes Blanks little businessman heart flutter. Blank will look for any reason to retain Morris...

    Falcons win Monday was classic Falcons. Lose when it matters then win enough when it doesn't to convince the execs that no change needs to be made. It was one ugly win. Got gifted a 21 point lead on the back of one of Stafford's worst throws of the year and a defensive breakdown on Bijan's...

    McKay is safe as an infant in its mother's arms. Worst that happens is football decision making is taken away from him. There's so much going on with AMB Sports and Entertainment that Blank relies on McKay for. He won't be fired.

    The 49ers are why I reject the excuse some try to give for the Falcons failure this year. Some want to let Morris off the hook because the team has dealt with injuries, including an injury to the QB. We'll look at San Francisco, a competently coached team. They were able to adapt and overcome...

    I'd be surprised if something happened before New Years. The week between Christmas and New Years is traditional pretty slow.
