Archie talks about how he was on a terrible team. Peyton talks about Omaha and Papa John's. Eli talks about his multiple Super Bowl rings. And Cooper just feels left out.
I totally forgot about Chan Gailey. Took me at second to put the name to where he coached.

He's been out of football for 2 years and was not overly successful while he was in it. I'm a bit concerned to say the least.

This story is just awesome on so many levels. I love JJ Watt.

Few inspire fear quite like J.J. Watt, but the intimidating Houston Texans defensive end found his match.
Of course, nobody in the NFL has approached Watt's dominance for three years running, so it took a 7-year-old peewee football player from Oklahoma to earn the three-time All-Pro's respect. In response to a package from young Anthony Tarantelli in which the boy included his own autographed jersey and a letter declaring himself "the most feared rusher in my league." Watt sent along some of his most prized possessions.
A month ago, Watt posted a picture of both the jersey and letter on Twitter with the caption, "This kid has some guts ... I like it." If you're having trouble reading the letter, here's a spell-checked version:
Dear J.J.: I am 7 years old. My name is Anthony Tarantalli, and I am your biggest fan. People call me J.J. because I also play defensive end and tight end lik you. I wear No. 99 like you, too. I was the most feared rusher in my league this year. I am sending you my autographed game jersey so you will know me when I am a famous NFL player. Ninety-nine rocks! Your friend, Anthony
According to TMZ Sports, Watt came through on a promise to return the favor, sending his own letter with an autographed hat and jersey as well as the game-worn cleats from this three-sack performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars. As Tarantelli told the local media, "They still have dirt on them from the game."
Ina video obtained by Houston's WITI-TV that Watt sent to the family, the Texans star explained, "I want to show you that your jersey is here, and it's safe in my office with Andrew Luck and Cameron Wake and Drew Brees and Peyton Manning and some awards, so you're in good company, buddy."
If Tarantelli's fellow 7-year-olds already feared him, imagine how shellshocked they must be now.

Being a coordinator and head coach are two different jobs. Head coaches don't teach the players, they lead them. It's the assistant coaches' jobs to teach.

But he was last a coordinator in KC in 2008 and didn't even make it through the preseason before being stripped of play calling duties. Before that he was a coordinator with the Dolphins in 2001. And he's 63. I'm just not sure with the Jets awful offense that this is going to work. Or maybe as a Jets fan I'm just used to things not working out and have grown to expect it.
They should have asked Rex to come back as defensive coordinator.

I always thought Rex would probably excel in an environment where he was a co-headcoach although that would never happen. I'm not happy about going against his defense twice a year but I am confident the Jets defense will be able to stop whatever offense the Bills throws their way.

I hear there gets to be a lot of kicking & screaming involved when too much vegetable turkey makes Eli have to go potty.

Those Papa John pizzas with the Fritos on them can be deadly if thrown... or eaten.
I believe those are the only two.
I've heard Adam Gase and Gary Kubiak are top candidates for Denver, because of their connections with the franchise and John Elway.
Don't know what's up with Atlanta. Seems like they've interviewed every coach in the league, but have let them all walk.

I wonder if they're putting all their eggs in the Dan Quinn basket (and waiting...)?
