Aaron Rodgers will sign with the New York Giants next season

I think, I think he might walk across to the other locker room. The Giants. He loves New York. They improve their old line. They have some receivers. Their defensive line is good. He doesn't have to move.

Rodgers' future for the 2025 season is currently unknown.

Nick Nurse leaked the 76ers team meeting details because of his obsession with the phrase 'elephant in the room'

Tyrese loves the big fella, but this is the elephant in the room. A person involved in the meeting told ESPN... Nick Nurse is very fond of using the phrase elephant in the room. And he's done it at least three times. Nick Nurse loves the phrase elephant in the room. He had a fucking elephant on his desk.

There is no official confirmation of who the leak was; this is a humorous theory based on verbal tics.

There's something wrong with Justin Tucker and we've been calling him washed I think ever since it might've been 2017 when he missed that extra point against the Saints... now I think he legitimately might be washed. He's 30th in the NFL in terms of accuracy this year.

Matt Eberflus is a stupid head coach who coaches scared

Matt Eberflus is now 14 and 30 as a head coach. He's five and 17 in one score games... He's coaching like a guy who has like a 10 year contract. He's coaching like he shouldn't push the buttons to be like, 'Hey, you're a four and six team now.' ... Not only do you not run an extra play when you have a timeout in your back pocket to try to get closer, but in the drive before that it's fourth and three on the 50 yard line. Try to win the game right there.

Matt Eberflus was indeed fired shortly after this game (following the Thanksgiving Day loss), validating the take that he was unfit for the role.

You got these three Corvettes [Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, Rome Odunze]... Now let him run some routes and tell the quarterback to throw him the ball or get rid of the ball, but quit taking sacks.
