You know things are bad when an agent whose defended you through thick and thin finally gives up. I can only imagine the kind of things AB must have said to him privately to make him quit. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

This may start the healing process. I think AB's problems are mental. I hope they're not caused by CTE. That can only be determined after his death. As I understand it they are working to find a determination while the affected are still alive. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Yes, Tomlin is bad with clock management and challenges and things like that, and, yes, there have been some locker room issues in recent years, though it's fair to point out that much of that was caused by the Le'Veon Bell drama and especially the AB volatility. And his teams were terrible with making defensive adjustments to counter what Tom Brady would do to them in the short passing game. But his teams have consistently won, and there's something to be said for that. I kind of compare it to how I view Pete Carroll. His teams have also consistently won, and they have a clear competitive structure in place. Having said that, he has an obvious blind spot for being too conservative. They run the ball far too often and put the shackles on their best player, Wilson. They only seem to be willing to open up the offense when they get down by two scores in the second half. He's also a little stubborn in making defensive adjustments, believing that his scheme will win. It's one thing to do that when they had the Legion Of Boom defense, but that D hasn't been as talented over the past couple of years, and you saw last week Davante Adams running free time after time. That's because of their scheme. Like, he dominates their targets and they don't have a true #2, so maybe send some extra attention to him. But no, that's not Carroll's philosophy. But overall? They win a lot of games, and so have Tomlin's teams. There's legitimate bad there, but you have to say that the good outweighs the bad, IMO.
Now, Bill O'Brien's teams have won division titles and have a record a little over .500, but I will never say that the good outweighs the bad with him. He's awful. |

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/01/19/philip-rivers-and-family-leave-san-diego-move-to-florida/
Quote: | Philip Rivers and family leave San Diego, move to Florida
Soon-to-be free agent quarterback Philip Rivers often talks about the importance of spending time with his wife and nine children. When the Chargers moved from San Diego to Los Angeles, Rivers and his family stayed put, and he made the long commute to the team facility each day because he thought it was important for his kids to stay in place.
Which makes his recent move eye-opening.
Rivers told ESPN that he and his wife and kids have left San Diego and moved to Florida. Rivers and his wife grew up in Decatur, Alabama, and he says they wanted to live nearer where they grew up.
“What this means football wise is to be determined but it was time for us to move back closer to home,” Rivers said.
It seems rather unlikely that Rivers would make this move if he expected to remain with the Chargers. Whether Rivers is thinking of retiring, thinks the Chargers plan to move on or has an idea of another team that wants to sign him is unknown, but this move certainly makes it less likely that Rivers will be the Chargers’ starting quarterback in 2020. |

Titans have been a surprise this playoffs....defense and a big bruising running back to counter the heavy pass reliant game of today. |
