We haven't gotten a break since the merger. We were awful in the 70s on top of being stuck with the Shula Dolphins and the late 70s Patriots. Our best shot was 82 but we bottled it. Then Marino came in and we've had at least one HoFer in the division ever since.
Jets haven’t played in a bad division in my lifetime. Dolphins were great in the 80s, Bills dominant in the 90s, Patriots dominated the first 20 years of the 21st century, and then the Bills became dominant. I’d kill for an NFC South situation just once lol #jetup

AFC East had Marino from 83 to 99 (and Kelly from 86 to 96), Manning from 98 to 01, Brady from 01 to 19, and Josh Allen from 18 to 26 (and counting).

It’s almost as if the Pac-10/12 was an elite conference and people who trashed it didn’t know what they were talking about…
Who saw this coming when the Big Ten expanded? UCLA, USC, Oregon: 22-5, 14-4 in conference Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State: 16-11, 8-10 in conference

It’s hilarious hearing Jim Nantz and JJ Watt sound completely BAFFLED by how poorly coached the Jets are. They keep praising the talent while ripping the lack of execution. Jets fans have watched 9 games of this garbage. THIS IS NOT A TALENT PROBLEM. THIS IS A COACHING PROBLEM.

👀 WSU is having its worst season in more than 15 years and still leads the entire Group of 6 in total TV viewership. It’s also better than a lot of Power 4 schools, particularly in the Big 12 and ACC. #GoCougs

Same guy.
Worth two minutes of your time to hear Jimmy Rogers lay bare one of the main ills facing big-time college sports and the athletes themselves. Iowa State Daily's @henry_annen asked Rogers what he needs from new AD Jared Benko to elevate Iowa State football. Good stuff.

The interview of the century
It was a normal Tuesday presser until CMU head coach Matt Drinkall was asked about the 24-team College Football Playoff. After that followed 11 minutes of raw, unfiltered opinions which featured references to boxing, the Lorax and prostitution: bythebelt.com/p/e2354b93-ba6…

Here is (part) of Central Michigan head coach Matt Drinkall's quote in opposition to the proposed 24-team College Football Playoff:
Just got off the weekly press conference with Central Michigan head coach Matt Drinkall. We asked him about the proposed 24-team Playoff, and now we have about 10 minutes of quotes to transcribe. Hope to be able to share that soon.

This problem starts way upstream. College players aren't really being developed under a specific system anymore. They just go where there's any semblance of playing time, especially with quarterbacks. Everything's so watered-down since high school recruiting is an afterthought these days. It's not about pro-readiness. It's every man for himself. You make the same argument for some high school programs as well.
I have a theory that the NFL is in trouble in about 10 years the talent is getting worse and worse I think it’s obvious

The first time in almost a decade we're finishing higher than 4th place
How it started vs. How it's going Last year, the Elks were at the bottom of the West and this year they're closing out the regular season ON TOP! 😤

Not sure you are going to convince anyone now that the QB situation wasn't determined because of the $$$
