Settle in with your morning coffee, and dig into what I’m hearing from conversations with sources around the league on the NFL’s biggest storylines. ☕️

Took the family out to grab pizza for dinner because our daughter is selling Girl Scout cookies at the restaurant, and am I insane that charging $1.25 to pay with a *debit card* is ridiculous?

Concentration Camps. Let’s call these what they’re intended to be.

Unless you have dry powder laying around you’re trying to invest, I’d suggest *not* looking at your portfolio today …

Love this. LOUDER.

This one may be … controversial. Got a bit aggressive with the #Raiders’ offseason blueprint. mattlombardonfl.substack.com/p/3-moves-th...

Mailbag is here!! 📬 This one’s loaded with insights from sources on everything from Aaron Rodgers’ future to the impact of NIL on the NFL Draft, and a whole lot more! mattlombardonfl.substack.com/p/brett-favr...

This is what American heroism looks like. Rule No. 1: Do not comply in advance.

Man. It’s so hard to even talk to family members. Mention to a two-time cancer survivor about how disappointing it is that the Trump admin is cutting cancer research and medical research “Well, Cancer is a money maker for the medical industry, they should have found a cure by now.” (1/2)

#Jaguars fans, how’d I do?! #NFL

NEW (and FREE!) at Between The Hashmarks: Trent Baalke built the #Jaguars like a legion of Sid from Toy Story’s toys. Here’s how Liam Coen and Jacksonville can change that this offseason. mattlombardonfl.substack.com/p/3-moves-th...

Oh, I get it, and understand the popularity. But, when writers create these weird scenarios where only quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, and tight ends are picked, it just feels like a colossal waste of time. This is where some site manager screenshots their pageview report and those CLICK.

Mock drafts have long outlived their usefulness. We find that out *every* NFL Draft night. But, when I see headlines like “ALL SKILL PLAYERS MOCK DRAFT” or “OFFENSE ONLY MOCK DRAFT” I want to drive to the river and frisbee my laptop and my phone into it.

Two of the most important figures in the #Eagles’ Super Bowl win wear No. 11. mattlombardonfl.substack.com/p/howie-rose...

My breakfast date brought a date. 🍩

I try not to use my platform here for politics, but if you are interested in political philosophy, I want to point out this very interesting, detailed article about how modern "conservatives" completely abandoned the classic American conservatism of folks like Russell Kirk and Goldwater.

The Eagles are promoting Kevin Patullo as offensive coordinator, which speaks volumes about Nick Sirianni. gridironheroics.com/philadelphia...

The Bengals are that coworker who makes the same amount of money as you do but complains about the price of ramen noodles. (Whatdaya got for lunch? Lipton Cup-a-Soup? Look at Mister Big Bucks!) From last week: miketanier.substack.com/p/the-2024-n...

#Patriots fans, would you sign up for this offseason?!

It’s a coup. We’re living through an actual coup, in America. Call it what it is. There’s no other explanation for this systematic destruction of the Federal government that will be felt at every level of society and the economy.
