Just found out my dad tested positive for coronavirus. He likely got it from my uncle, who also tested positive, at a funeral a couple weeks ago. I was with my dad for a few days after the funeral, so I’m going to go ahead and quarantine.

My takeaway from Davante Adams' comments today: He values winning above all else, but knows the

can't win at the level he wants to without the offense being significantly better. For the offense to be that, he needs to get the ball more. It's fairly simple.

Eric Bieniemy had to go to from winning a SB (again) to making a linear move with arguably the most dysfunctional franchise in the NFL while the 2 less experienced/accomplished/proven coordinators on the team KC beat got HC jobs and folks don't think race is a driving factor?

It's invaluable when more established journalists look out for those who are up-and-coming and still trying to find their way in the industry. Mort always made sure to look out. That's something more OGs in this business would be wise to replicate.
Chris Mortensen was a legendary insider before social media turned deadlines from days to seconds.
What always stood out about “Mort” was his decency. Just look at his role in bringing in his successor, Adam Schefter.

The idea that Eric Bieniemy should have to take another offensive coordinator position is INSANE.
The Chiefs have already produced multiple OCs who had less success and hadn't "proved" they could run the show and still became head coaches. The difference is easy to identify.
