Good news!

 

Watch the new one be worse, though.

I hope they go with solid black and not solid mustard.

That's what I've read, solid matte black.

Four weeks after he retired, the Tennessee Titans are hiring former Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees as their defensive coordinator, sources confirmed to ESPN.

[gunnar hendershow]

Probably spent a week around the house and realized he needed to get out of there.

Everybody pees. What makes Dean Pees so special?

[Lineker]

He's the principal.

The Chiefs are apparently trading Alex Smith to the Redskins for picks and a player.

Alex Smith is one of the few players that I will root for no matter what tram he plays for. I'm guessing this means that Kirk Cousins is out in Washington?

The player is Kendall Fuller, and the pick is a 3rd rounder this year.

Apparently the Browns wanted to trade for Smith but he nixed the idea. Can't say as I blame him.

Good. Cousins to Denver puh-lease

[Lineker]

Dominoes are starting to fall!

[jrhodes]

I don't understand why the Redskins wouldn't give Cousins a deal but are happy to pay Alex Smith £23.5 million a season with a ton of guaranteed money.

Unless Cousins was really adamant about not signing with the Redskins after the first franchise tag.

This just seems like a horribly mismanaged situation by Washington.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the league seriously needs to consider just retracting the Browns.  Or, since they probably would get sued by the city, at least force Haslam out and overhaul the organization from the top down.

Other than Joe Thomas, nobody wants to play there.  Every first round pick they take immediately is flagged as a likely bust simply because the organization is so bad, the player busting is more like a self-fulfilling prophecy.  They rarely give coaches any significant time to sort things out and when they finally do, it's someone who's 1-31.

I really can't see the end of this vicious cycle in sight, and it all starts with ownership.
