All aTwitter: 4 February 2021

So much good stuff in this press conference. But our GM saying "I find that when you talk a lot about trades, people don't want to do business with you" might be my fav part. In my words, professionalism matters and "loose lips sink ships". I'm preaching this to my biz folks too.

This is actually a REALLY great and imp't philosophical question. I just used 10 minutes of thinking time trying to figure out how to tweet my POV and failed :). Twitter isn't exactly conducive to thoughtfulness. Maybe worth an off season President's Weekly Brief at some point?

Asked about Cam Newton in free agency, Ron Rivera says "nothing is off the table" and Washington will continue to explore all their options.

This does not mean he’s in play. Again: could have had him last year. Was no movement that way whatsoever. Sorry

If they would’ve asked Ron his opinion on bringing Brett Favre out of retirement he would’ve said “all options are on the table. We will evaluate the process” fan reaction “OMG, we are really going to start Brett Favre next year..Ron loved mediocrity!!”

When asked about Alex Smith a couple times, Ron Rivera kept saying they have a process to go through. When asked about Kyle Allen he said he's a part of what Washington's doing right now.

Different tones to his answers on those two guys.

In regards to Kyle Smith, Rivera pointed out how he had received a fresh start after his 9 years in Carolina. Felt it helped him. Says Smith in a good spot in Atlanta; can start fresh.

If Marty Hurney makes personnel decisions the way he wears a mask.... we're in big trouble .

What does this even mean “I think we make too much money to voice an opinion “? People who “make too much money” have been voicing their opinions for a long time, both now AND back in the day, as they should. This makes zero sense. https://t.co/iC8MI5bi51

Coaches are teachers. If English, Math & Science teachers don’t yell to get the best out of their students, why do coaches need to scream at or demean their players to improve performance? They don’t. The field is the classroom.. Find different ways to enlighten and inspire ❤️ https://t.co/re6sOBqyoM

There were over 20 Chiefs players and staffers, including QB Patrick Mahomes, scheduled Sunday to get a haircut with the barber who tested positive for COVID, per sources. The Chiefs acted wisely and aggressively, and pulled the barber - mid-cut - once his test results came in.

My takeaway from Antonio Brown's 25-minute media session: He seems to believe he's a victim. He mentioned haters and doubters.

Remember this when you see AB redemption arc stories this week: This was all self-inflicted.

Record for receiving yards in a postseason among players who played 3 games is 409, held by Jerry Rice.

Tyreek Hill needs 128 yards in Super Bowl to pass him. Only other players with over 400 yards in one postseason played an extra game in the wildcard round (Fitzgerald, Nicks).
