Relevant every hiring cycle: Bill Walsh on the dynamic between owners, GMs and coaches. (And even if it’s not 100% the case, definitely truth in there.)

I don’t care if you’re Dr. Faustus, winning a national title at Indiana is just unbelievable. Obviously the world has changed, but Cignetti had a top-to-bottom plan (mostly laid out in his opening press conference) and executed it. Just wild.

he ain't lie

CFB championship game is stressful… so it’s a good time to buy some Girl Scout cookies (for a good cause 😀) digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/cather...

Just like you drew it up

hmmm

Enjoyed talking to the @wsj.com about the state of strategy and tactics in college football (which are, in my view, in very different places now than what has been the case over the last 25 or so years). www.wsj.com/sports/footb...

Crowdsourcing: Who are the best coaches (or potentially GMs) at building/rebuilding teams and programs? What are the throughlines (particularly the behind the scenes stuff), and any good resources/articles/interviews? Somewhat sports agnostic but focus on long term builds

Fullback is Rick Ross on Devil in a New Dress

I’m generally blown away by what some of the AI/LLMs can do, but then I ask it to create “Robot and Dinosaur themed” pre-K worksheets, and it gleefully tells me it has completed my requested task …

Well this has been a heck of a basketball series. Knicks fans definitely like

The Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby Gala, which benefits diabetes, announced its celebrity lineup including Simone Biles, Machine Gun Kelly, Tracy Morgan, Dierks Bentley, Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, and others www.wlky.com/article/barn...

I kind of went full circle this draft cycle and I (on balance) like Shadeur more than Jaxson Dart (it’s a rough class, as we know) though I actually think Dart is a better fit for Daboll/Giants because of the athleticism.

It’s almost 11pm and there are still nine picks to go in the first round. By 2035 the first round of the NFL draft will be conducted over the course of 32 days with one pick per day

honestly we would all benefit if everyone thought a bit more about how we could be more like paddington (including about how marmalade is delicious)

I don’t think field goals are going to get it done for Georgia in this one

Well that was a new one

It’s Girl Scout cookie time! (Note - this is the last year for S’Mores.) I know someone who would really appreciate the support. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/cather...

Love this - and whew Dawson was cooking

I sneaky really like the Raiders Pete Carroll hire - especially factoring in who else the Raiders could get. Not saying it’s a fast turnaround, but but he gives them a hard reset on culture throughout the building. And I’m a sucker for his approach, enthusiasm. youtu.be/NMLa6fM10KA?...

An underrated aspect of the Commanders run has been how the offense has controlled the ball and protected the defense - eg, they really never stopped TB, or at least Mayfield/Evans. But the turnovers then exposed the defense, and that was it. Honestly Daniels played mostly solidly on initial watch?

I felt this

Gotta love Kingsbury busting out one of the most old school of old school Air Raid plays, Y-Corner (“8”), complete with the backside double slants and corner thrown off of shortened footwork. Here’s a clip of Jayden running it vs Detroit …

It’s Girl Scout cookie time! Get your cookies (I know someone who would really appreciate it)! Plus, they are apparently discontinuing the S’Mores after this year, so it’s now or never. (I also like the Adventurefuls.) digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/caroli...

Hold up… so Louisville went for it vs Stanford on 4th and 10 from with 10 seconds left from Stanford’s 45 yard line, didn’t get it, then gave up a 1 yard pass but then committed unsportsmanlike and offsides penalties, and then gave up the game winning field goal as time expired? Whew

Anyone with any good Bluesky follow recs for basketball coaching and basketball strategy? (I am a consumer, not necessarily a producer.)

ok, giving this a try. need to rebuild my feed here, so suggestions welcome.
