Very in depth piece by @kalynkahler.bsky.social, Kris Rhim and Jason Reid on how the Rooney Rule is failing black coaches in the NFL www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
The Rooney Rule is at a crossroads. We spoke to 13 Black NFL coaches about their experiences with it. "If you don't play the [Rooney] Rule game, they're going to say this person doesn't play. He doesn't abide by the rules,' So it's darned if you do, darned if you don't." www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

is soccer the only sport where an empate is an upset?!?
I’m totally amazed by USA soccer rn but my main question is- what is the coach wearing?? He looks like a rando on a fishing trip??
If you’re in Chicago and you aren’t watching WGN right now- what are you doing?? Tom skilling the legend came out of a two year retirement for one night only to cover these storms and tornados!
Paris Schutz of NBC Chicago: From a key IL lawmaker after receiving the call from Kevin Warren this morning: "he also says he looks forward to continuing discussions with me.."
one of those classic non-required mandates, got it
Kalyn Kahler@kalynkahler.bsky.social · 3mo agoBut coaches who got hired bc of it, like Rams OC Nate Scheelhaase, told me and Kris Rhim and Jason Reid that it "accelerated his development." The league says they didn't end the minority OA mandate- they just aren't funding it or requiring it anymore...
Watching Eurovision … wish I could text @dhm.bsky.social Dan McQuade about how weird it is that Romania woman is singing “I want you to choke me” in operatic tones but also extremely goth heavy metal
Ahead of the '25 szn, the NFL quietly ended the requirement that each club hire a minority coach as an offensive assistant. It lasted 3 seasons. The league couldn't ensure that the minority coaches were being used in game-planning roles/in QB room. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
NFL ended minority offensive assistant mandate before '25 season
The NFL ended a mandate that all 32 teams hire a minority coach as an offensive assistant ahead of the 2025 season and not because of recent pressure from Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier.

The ceili last night at the world championships in Schaumburg, IL was so lit (Music by Steam Irish quartet and ceili calling by Eamon de Cógáin)
Rams HC Sean McVay said that as he was trying to explain LA's proposal that addressed the 2-pt conversion backwards pass to the competition committee, he realized he couldn't. "If I am feeling like I am putting a rubix cube together, this is probably too complex."

One sticking point in CBA negotiations between NFL and NFLRA is the probationary period. It currently covers officials in their first three years as NFL officials, where they can be fired without cause. NFL wants that probationary period longer, NFLRA wants it shorter.
In a Jan. 8 letter sent to officials from the NFL Referees Association's office, (source sent to me), NFLRA said "despite mult. meetings" there had been "little meaningful progress" made towards a new CBA. "League negotiators have been communicating misleading & incomplete info to owners & media."
