Aaron Rodgers casually mentioned in his acceptance speech that he was engaged three days after tabloids all put out articles that he was dating Shailene Woodley.

Amazingly, it wasn't unanimous! He secured every vote bar one, which went to Big Ben.

 

 

Whoever gave that one vote to Big Ben either really hates Washington, or needs their head examined.

WAAAAAY past time Pearson got in. His reaction to being denied last year was heartbreaking AND pissed me off. 

I agree with damshow that TJ Watt should have gotten DPOY, but everyone else who won deserved it.

Sounds like the Bears and Colts are the two frontrunners for Carson Wentz, with the Bears apparently with the best offer so far. And it also seems to be a much better trade offer than most people expected. Leave it to the Bears to overpay for a broken quarterback.  

One rumor I saw was that Foles gets sent back to Philly in the Wentz deal.

It would make sense. Wentz would be even more of a head case if he has to look over his shoulder at Foles every week.

I feel like all of these guys get in except maybe Boldin. But most will be waiting. Next year it's finally time for Torry Holt.

Hmm. Guess Brady will just have to win a seventh Super Bowl....

[The Buscher]

Of the group, I think Ware could possibly go  first ballot.  It’s a toss up with the premier pass rushers, Greene and Strahan waited, Jason Taylor went right in.

Anyway they’re up to 28 Hall of Famers between last year and this year that need to have their enshrinement.  They’re still hoping for early August and Ohio isn’t exactly the strictest with protocols, so we’ll see if it happens.  If they have to push it one more year it might be a week-long induction ceremony.

For the life of me, I cannot find our yearly predictions anywhere, to look back on how horrendously wrong we all were!

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who once again was bypassed for a head-coaching job during this hiring cycle, will become a free agent after Super Bowl LV on Sunday, sources told ESPN.

Bieniemy is coaching on an expiring contract. One reason a new deal has not gotten worked out, according to sources, is because neither the Chiefs nor Bieniemy expected to be in this position. Bieniemy had hoped he would have landed one of the seven NFL head coach openings in this cycle, and the Chiefs thought Bieniemy was a favorite to get one.

But between Bieniemy being bypassed and the Chiefs reaching the Super Bowl, there was no time nor need to address his unsettled contract situation.

Both sides believe they'll be able to work out a deal and ensure his return to Kansas City. Both want it to happen: Bieniemy wants to remain in Kansas City, and the Chiefs want him there, according to sources.

But many around the league still are hoping that Bieniemy won't be in Kansas City long and that he will, eventually, land one of these NFL head-coaching jobs that have eluded him.

Bieniemy, 51, has been a Chiefs assistant under head coach Andy Reid since 2013 and has been Kansas City's offensive coordinator for the past three seasons. The Chiefs' offense and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have thrived under Bieniemy, ranking first in the NFL twice over the past three seasons.

But despite interviewing for multiple positions and being considered a top candidate for several vacancies over the past two years, Bieniemy has not yet landed a head-coaching job.

Bieniemy said this past week that he won't "dwell in pity," explaining that "chemistry has not been a fit" in the various situations where he's been a candidate.

But NFL commissioner Roger Goodell expressed disappointment Thursday that only two minority candidates were hired for the seven head-coaching openings in this cycle, despite a growing pool of qualified candidates.

Veteran linebacker Wesley Woodyard specifically mentioned Bieniemy on Thursday when he discussed the NFL Players Association's frustration over the lack of minority head coaches.

"We see ourselves as potential leaders within the NFL community," Woodyard said. "We aspire to be head coaches. We want to be GMs. But if you have guys like Eric Bieniemy, who's been an NFL legend, who's done great things within his offense, with the team that he's on, going to back-to-back Super Bowls -- that frustrates us as players."

Well, we can do it right now!

 

Who's winning tonight?

 

I'm thinking KC edges out Tampa for the win. 

[VerbalPuke]

I just got this weird feeling the Bucs win.

Same here assuming we get another 28-3 deal.

Same.

Want to win: Bucs
Think will win: KC

[Krabby]

What's the deal with CBS streaming? How does it work?

[Lineker]

I think Tampa will edge it, just.

[The Buscher]

Yeah on paper the Chiefs should win but games aren't won on paper, seems fitting that it'd be another offseason of the media fellating Brady.
