You shut your filthy mouth.

Barring a comeback of biblical proportions from Kansas City, the draft order for Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft is officially set.

Dick Jauron, who was the head coach for both the Bills and the Bears, has passed away at the age of 74. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43748672/dick-jauron-former-bears-bills-head-coach-dies-74

I was sort of the same way. I thought I was just gonna jump into Cao Cao's camp, largely because Dian Wei has always been my favorite character to play in the other DW games. But now. . .yeah, I might be leaning more toward Liu Bei's camp, too. I might still be able to be swayed, though.

Progress on Dynasty Warriors: Origins continues. I'm into Chapter 3 and it looks like I'm about two battles away from the point of no return where you have to pick which of the three dynasties you end up fighting for. I know that at some point I can go back to an old save and play as all of the dynasties, but it will still probably take me a stupid amount of time to make a decision.

Was that when Nakamura's entire gimmick was "I'm gonna punch A.J. Styles in the balls every week?"

I'm not an NBA expert or anything, but pulling off a trade so bad that 95% of social media just assumed that Shams Charania was hacked is a bad sign, isn't it?

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1885919297832169918 BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN. Three-team deal that includes Utah. So if it's not a Woj bomb, is it a Sham wow? Yes, this is real. Sources tell ESPN: Full trade: - Lakers: Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, Markieff Morris - Mavericks: Anthony Davis, Max Christie, 2029 LAL 1st - Jazz: Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2025 Clippers 2nd, 2025 Mavericks 2nd

According to Pro Football Talk, the International Series is heading to Melbourne, Australia starting in 2026. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-australia-to-host-nfl-games-starting-in-2026

https://blog.bioware.com/2025/01/29/bioware-studio-update/ Now that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been released, a core team at BioWare is developing the next Mass Effect game under the leadership of veterans from the original trilogy, including Mike Gamble, Preston Watamaniuk, Derek Watts, Parrish Ley, and others. In keeping with our fierce commitment to innovating during the development and delivery of Mass Effect, we have challenged ourselves to think deeply about delivering the best experience to our fans. We are taking this opportunity between full development cycles to reimagine how we work at BioWare. Given this stage of development, we don’t require support from the full studio. We have incredible talent here at BioWare, and so we have worked diligently over the past few months to match many of our colleagues with other teams at EA that had open roles that were a strong fit. Yeah. . .not super sure if I like the sounds of that. Just waiting for BioWare to fuck this up, too.

Draft order is updated through Championship Weekend.

The Athletic is reporting that Coen has, indeed, told the Buccaneers that he'll be taking the Jaguars job. https://twitter.com/jeffphowe/status/1882633299790811375

Draft order updated through the Divisional round.

Got Dynasty Warriors: Origins yesterday, because I do love me some Dynasty Warriors and was hoping that the garbage that was 9 could be forgotten. So far, so good. Yuan Zo (getting to name your own character is a nice touch) blew through the first battle and it seems like DW is officially back.

Draft order has been updated.

Thought we were in line for 6-8" of snow from the winter storm that went through the midwest last weekend. Stocked up on stuff, took Monday off from work, all that. Didn't even get enough snow to cover our grass. Not that I'm complaining, but it was a complete dud where we are.

Hell, he could make an AI of his dad and hire AI Al.

The Bears have also now threatened. . .er, requested. . .to interview Brian Flores and Arthur Smith.

My actual excuse has to do with basic illiteracy more than anything. Which I think is actually worse.

During the Lions' bye week, Ben Johnson will be doing virtual interviews with both the Bears and the Patriots, per reports.

The Jets have requested permission from the Vikings to interview Brian Flores for their head coaching job. Not sure how that's going to go seeing that he's still actively suing the NFL and stuff. Also he can't interview this week because the Vikings have a game. The Jets have also asked for permission to interview Vikings QB coach Josh McCown.

With the 2024 regular season over with, there are 18 teams already looking ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft. As in past years, here is the thread for this year's NFL Draft. When two or more teams have the same record, the tiebreaker is a team's Strength of Schedule, with the lower SoS receiving the higher pick. This is the first year in quite a while. . .I don't know the exact year. . .where all 32 teams currently have their first round pick before the draft. No teams have traded away their 2025 first rounder, and no teams have multiple first rounders as things stand right now. With that, here is the order that I will update as more spots get filled. Tennessee Titans (3-14, .522) - Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL) Jacksonville Jaguars from Cleveland Browns (3-14, .536) - Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado New York Giants (3-14, .554) - Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State New England Patriots (4-13, .471) - Will Campbell, OT, Louisiana State Cleveland Browns from Jacksonville Jaguars (4-13, .478) - Mason Graham, DT, Michigan Las Vegas Raiders (4-13, .540) - Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State New York Jets (5-12, .495) - Armand Membou, OT, Missouri Carolina Panthers (5-12, .498) - Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona New Orleans Saints (5-12, .505) - Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas Chicago Bears (5-12, .554) - Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan San Francisco 49ers (6-11, .564) - Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia Dallas Cowboys (7-10, .522) - Tyler Booker, iOL, Alabama Miami Dolphins (8-9, .419) - Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan Indianapolis Colts (8-9, .457) - Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State Atlanta Falcons (8-9, .519) - Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia Arizona Cardinals (8-9, .536) - Walter Nolen, DL, Mississippi Cincinnati Bengals (9-8, .478) - Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M Seattle Seahawks (10-7, .498) - Grey Zabel, iOL, North Dakota State Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-7, .502) - Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State Denver Broncos (10-7, .502) - Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7, .502) - Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon Los Angeles Chargers (11-6, .467) - Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina Green Bay Packers (11-6, .533) - Matthew Golden, WR, Texas Minnesota Vikings (14-3, .474) - Donovan Jackson, iOL, Ohio State New York Giants from Houston Texans (10-7, .481) - Jaxson Dart, QB, Mississippi Atlanta Falcons from Los Angeles Rams (10-7, .505) - James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee Baltimore Ravens (12-5, .529) - Malakai Starks, S, Georgia Detroit Lions (15-2, .516) - Tyleik Williams, DL, Ohio State Washington Commanders (12-5, .436) - Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon Buffalo Bills (13-4, .467) - Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky Philadelphia Eagles from Kansas City Chiefs (15-2, .488) - Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama Kansas City Chiefs from Philadelphia Eagles (14-3, .453) - Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Skip Bayless is a perv. Allegedly. https://awfulannouncing.com/fox/skip-bayless-joy-taylor-exec-workplace-misconduct-lawsuit.html

Via numerous reports, the Patriots have already fired Jerod Mayo. Didn't even let dude get back home to clean out his office first.

Tua Tagovailoa dropped back to pass 47 times on Sunday. The Jets' defense hit him zero times.
