Having read too many of these novels, I laughed out loud at this.

Really? What chance did Maye ever have of becoming a Viking?
January 26, 2026 at 3:04 AM
Looks definitive. Thank you.
January 25, 2026 at 9:13 PM
Yeah, but then the defender releases the left hand and completes the tackle with his right, which is clearly on Maye's back collar.
January 25, 2026 at 9:08 PM
That looked like a horse collar tackle to me. Am I wrong?

I see McCarthy as a bridge HC who's keeping the seat warm until the team lands its QBOTF. (And rebuilds its WR room?) Solid hire under that framework. I doubt the Steelers are that cynical, however.

Thanks for this. I also highly recommend your own piece in the NY Times. If you haven't bumped it lately, you should.

Is it possible that these policies are designed to push women out of the workplace? (And yes, this is a rhetorical question.)
January 23, 2026 at 5:53 PM
How: accuracy, turnovers, pocket presence.
Why: poor OL protection, no running game to speak of.

How'd I do?

13 seconds will always be #1, but I'd put that 2022 ass-kicking by the Bengals, at home no less, as #2.

Featuring 3 Hall of Famers and Julian Edelman. What a lineup!

The trailer is awesome. I'm in.

The Broncos interviewed a similar number of candidates in 2022, and they still hired the worst possible guy in Nathaniel Hackett. More info doesn't always lead to better decisions.

Which game?
January 12, 2026 at 5:27 PM
Yep. I'm all for keeping the play, but it looks like the refs aren't able/willing to officiate it properly. That's a huge argument against it.

Is there any chance Carrington takes over Carleton's starting role?

Parsons to Buffalo would make the Bills the ultimate stars and scrubs roster. They'd have to dedicate at least 35% of the cap to just 2 players.

Sounds significant, but OTOH, I'm never surprised when Roseman pulls off another trade. No one does it like him. It's his superpower.

I want to know who went to the club with him. JC Tretter?
July 18, 2025 at 10:01 PM
Thanks. I love it.
July 18, 2025 at 9:55 PM
My theory? They're putting the squeeze on him for something, and this will all go away once he capitulates.

It's always a pleasure to read your work. When does it drop?
July 15, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Nevertheless, the column has one glaring error. Here's what you wrote regarding the 16th ranked 2022 Chiefs: "Facing an excellent Eagles team that came close to qualifying for this list...." Bill, you ranked the 2022 Eagles just one spot lower than those Chiefs.
July 15, 2025 at 1:46 PM
This a much more well-reasoned list than others that I've seen. I was especially impressed with your application of the Pythagorean formula.
