He's a good DC, but over his head as a HC. That's a good spot for him but Saleh made that defense look way better than it was.

He's not really a good DC. Rams defensive EPA/Play 2 years before him, 0.099, the 3 years with him, -.008 2 years since he left 0.010

What NFL players think about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl 60 halftime performance | Sporting News

NFL players have started weighing in on Bad Bunny's upcoming Super Bowl 60 halftime show, and the majority say they think the league got it right by choosing him to headline.
www.sportingnews.com www.sportingnews.com

“I don’t even know who Bad Bunny is,” an NFC offensive player told the outlet. “I always think it should be an American. I think they’re trying too hard with this international stuff.”

Wonder what this offensive genius thought about non-American half time performers like Rihanna, Shakira, The Weeknd, Cold Play, The Who, The Rolling Stones, the Who, Paul McCartney, U2, or Phil Collins, since they have an issue with an American performer in Bad Bunny.

To me the halftime show is an opportunity to get a plate full of food and to refill the drink. I really don't care who's performing because I won't be watching anyway.

When the halftime show hits it hits hard. The problem is most produced ones have kind of sucked.

If you start with MJ and go from there (I'm bias MJ is the first one I remember)

MJ - Amazing
Country variety - Meh
Indiana Jones theme - lol
Diana Ross - Meh
Blues Brothers Bash - Kind of hilariously bad
Motown 40 - Maybe the best of it's era of weird disjointed collabs
Soul Salsa and Swing - I recall liking things, mainly Stevie Wonder is a legend. But I don't recall it being truly excellent
Disney again - This one sucked.
Kings of Rocka nd Pop - With Motown the best of the weird disjointed collabs. But I'm not shocked that this worked because everyone here is a polished performer.
U2- Ugh
Shania Twain No Doubt - I honestly don't remember this. and I went and quickly reviewed it, it was really disjointed. It was like 2 different shows that had little chemistry
Janet Jackson's Boob - I mean without this finale, no one would remember this, this show sucked.
Paul McCartney - Ugh
Rolling Stones - One of the better fogey shows, but Stones are great showmen
Prince - GOATed. This was perfect as he was a legend, but not so old that you felt weird watching Grandpa trying to be sexy.
Tom Petty- eh. Don't remember this one.
Springsteen - the best of the fogeys. Springsteen did a great medley of hits blended in a very springsteen way,
the Who - The worst fogey one. I love the who, but this was 1/2 the OG members and they were very old and Daltrey cannot sing anymore.
Black eyed Peas - Hilariously bad
Madonna - Again, really bad,
Beyonce - Great performance, even if you don't like her it was a great performance.
Bruno Mars - outside of the weird RHCP, this was dope. I feel like Bruno was still probably a little too new to the game to have the hits to do this. But he killed it.
Katy Perry - Really well produced, similar to Beyonce, even if you dont' like the music you have to respect the performance
Cold Play - Bleh - The best part was Bruno Mars and Beyonce's performance. But this isn't surprising, Cold Play is not a party band. No one really wants to hear fix you at half time show.
Gaga - One of the best. But again not surprising, Gaga wasn't in her peak of popularity as a performer any more but still was young, her hits were still relevant,
Justin Timberlake - Snore. This one sucked.
Maroon 5 - Another bad one.
Shakira and JLo - This is a great performance, not in the top tier but it's still an impressive performance. Again not really shocking, Shakira is an exceptional performer, I don't care for either of their music much but it was a good performance.
The Weeknd - Really weird, part of it was empty stadium, but the other part was the weird need to use the empty stadium. Like why?
Dre - Another all timer - This combines nostalgia for multiple generations, Early 90s, early 2000s, mid 2000s etc. And it was a well produced show unlike the weeknd.
Rihanna - Solid show, her being pregnant probably hurt some of the physicality of the performance.
Usher - Will probably be a pretty forgetable performance,
Kendrick - A great performance. Really well produced, also it's still funny as hell he called Drake a pedo on the most popular broadcast in the world.
 
One thing that pisses me off, is that because of Kyle Shanahan, Matthew Stafford is going to the Hall of Fame eventually but Ryan isn't. When Ryan had a much better career and Stafford's MVP season si one of the softest of all time.
 
The Falcons can't have nice things. James Pearce Jr was arrested on domestic violence charges. Reports are he rammed his girlfriend's car multiple times with his Lamborghini to keep her from going to police. He then led police on a chase and had to be wrestled to the ground to be arrested.

There were character concerns about him before the draft that took him off some teams' boards entire. Terry Fontenot thought he was smarter than everyone else. Turns out he's a moron who should have been fired when the Falcons jettisoned Arthur Smith.
 
Damn. How in the hell did he manage to stay out of trouble this long? He didn't have the first incident at Tennessee

A high ranking police officer said Pierce was lucky to be alive after driving directly into an officer while fleeing.

IF he plays football again, he should consider himself lucky.

Reports are one of his aggravated battery charges is for hitting the cop with his car. Aggravated battery against a cop in Florida is a minimum of 5 years in prison. Barring some crazy misunderstanding, Pearce has likely played his last game in the NFL.

I'm actually surprised he stayed out of trouble in Tennessee. Before the draft a high school teammate was quoted saying Pearce was crazy and had terrible anger issues. That person seems to have been proven true today.
