Can anyone explain why the Skins are only 15.5 pt underdogs in this game? They're going to get mauled.

Wasn't there a game vs the Pats a few years ago where people were claiming moral victory because the Skins didn't get blown out for the first 1 1/2 quarters or something?


Probably. The failure all bleeds together now.

That must have been when the bargaining stage was still ongoing, before everyone realized hope is dead and always will be.

It is very insightful.



Hmm...

Eventually, we found the right button to push. A former colleague of Gruden's in Oakland told me he hated confrontation. We had McCardell fly to Tampa about a week before the trading deadline for an impromptu meeting with Gruden where he was instructed to be extremely combative, which was out of character for him, because we thought that approach might help spur movement. We wanted Gruden to get a taste of what life might be like if a disgruntled McCardell came back.

Not saying he was a choirboy before, but what do you want to bet this is why AB went bonkers with all kinds of publicly bizarre behavior in Oakland? He heard the same tip about Gruden from someone, maybe his agent, and decided to just force a trade that way.

That’s a hilarious amount of manipulation....but ownership can always wait you out. Especially Team Spiteful we have at the top....crazy they’re basically acting their way out of town. I wonder what agent pioneered that move?
