In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Jason Garrett is Fisher 2.0, the offensive version.
Fisher's pure ineptness is on a whole different level. I'll never forget what he did to Gurley. Don't think I've ever seen a player as obviously talented as Gurley underperform so much, simply because the coach had no idea what to do with him. That Rams offense was just absurd. Watching them was like watching a Mr. Bean movie.
I actually think that MrMarcello is right. If you look beyond the hype around the Cowboys, they have had a bad offense and defense that relied on a couple of very good players to not be totally useless. At least the Rams were very good defensively, they virtually had no offense but at least half of the team was good.
The worst thing about having the draft at the end if April is we still have like 4 months until the season starts.
That‘s true. But I still think Fisher is worse. At least Zeke was productive. Fisher made Gurley look like some dude from the stands who just happened to wear the right jersey.
For what it's worth, my buddy who's a Cowboys fan blames the OC Scott Linehan for their poor offense. He says Garrett is mediocre, but that the offensive playbook was downright terrible. If they underperform again this year, I could certainly see a coaching shakeup of some sort in Dallas.
That's why Baseball was invented.
I just can't get the hype on baseball. Went to see few of NY Mets games and was bored. Was a great outdoor events with friends, beer etc, but paid scant little attention to events on field. There were just 2 scores and I missed both as I was busy chatting! A different version of Cricket, but equally boring.
I kind of understand that, I have been to local games in France and it's not great to watch. But with time I started to appreciate the MLB on TV, it's just hypnotizing. Also I have been told what you said, basically most people go for the social side of it more than Baseball, the only exceptions are the people that still scores games by hand, those are hardcore.
Earlier this month I went to baseball games in Dallas, Houston, Tampa, and Miami. Takes me up to 23 ballparks. Hoping to finish the last 7 in the next couple years. Just have 3 trips to go.
- Seattle
- Los Angeles / Anaheim / Phoenix
- Mets / Phillies / Gnats
That's actually great, do you have new pictures? And do you focus a lot on what happens on the field or are you casual?
Edit: And which stadium is the worst, I have been reading a bit about it and some stadiums are destroyed by people?

Yeah, there was a dad with his two kids right next to us all with books and pencils carefully making notes. That's really something!
I have some but not of every place. Usually I pick cheap seats and watch a couple innings from them (unless there is a cool section to sit in like the rail in San Diego). Then I walk around the stadium and watch an inning from a different spot and so on all around the stadium to see the whole ballpark.
Worst is Tampa. Best are San Francisco, San Diego and Pittsburgh. What do you mean destroyed by people?
Half a dozens of stadiums are basically called shit holes, like Tampa, the White Sox stadium, Arizona, Oakland and there is a couple of other stadiums. So I have been wondering if people were exaggerating, for example the White Sox stadium allegedly smells like piss and Tampa's stadium is full of cockroaches.
I didn't find either of those things to be true. Comiskey Park is not good by means but considering what I had heard before I went it's really not that bad, just a bit cookie cutter. Tampa did a little bit to make Tropicana okay but it's just a warehouse. It reminded me of the college hockey games I've been to more than anything.

Thanks, I was surprised by how harshly those stadiums were described.
Jason Garrett seems like an irritating asshole on All Or Nothing.
Browns VP of Player Personnel Alonzo Highsmith on why they took Baker Mayfield. He says Darnold was going to go number 1 until they met Mayfield.
Anyone manage to get some tickets for the Wembley games? Got some for the Titans v Chargers but couldn't get any for the Eagles game.

some people are just in charge of things because they are

Have the season ticket so got mine for both back in Jan
Been to all the ones left on your list. I’ve got 10 left on mine. The two in Texas and two in FL will prolly be the toughest to scratch off.
If you ever find your way out to southern CA, you’ve got a place to stay.
What were you favorites / least favorites? I flew to Dallas and rented a car. Then did an afternoon game in Houston and drove to New Orleans. 2 full days in New Orleans then a drive to Miami. Did a game and 3 days split between Miami and Key West, then drove to Tampa for a game, dropped off the car and flew out of Tampa.
I’m liking your itinerary especially since I’m a big fan of the Big Easy. Might copy that.
Least favorites - Angel Stadium (soulless piece of shit that is unfortunately the closest stadium to me), Oakland Coliseum was old, concrete, and empty and also a pile of shit but there’s something to be said for having an entire section to yourself, new Yankee Stadium (ridiculously overpriced), never been to Tropicana Field but I’d imagine it’s as shitty as it looks on tv. Chase Field was nothing to write home about.
Favorites - AT&T Park (beautiful stadium), PNC ballpark (beautiful park, walked across the bridge pre-game and for $4 got a free t-shirt and sat in field level seats (this was in 2008 when they sucked, prolly had 5,000 people there tops), Camden Yards (the first of the newer stadiums built in the mid-90s and still holding up well), Wrigley (sitting in the bleachers on a sunny day with a beer might be closest thing to baseball nirvana), and Dodger stadium (partial to it cos that’s my team). Also liked Petco, Citizens Bank Park, new Busch stadium, and Coors Field.
Looking forward to Miller Park and Target Field, which along with Comerica and US Cellular are 4 in the Midwest that I’ve yet to visit.
If you have the money and don't mind flying, I would recommend flying New Orleans > Miami. I've done longer drives before (Detroit > Rapid City straight through) so I didn't mind it but I-10 is pretty dull.
Had to google “Rapid City”. Geez man, South Dakota is a long ways from Detroit. I don’t mind long drives, but I’d prolly go with a buddy and split the driving to make it easier.
Oh yeah I did do that but 18 hours is still a very long time in a car
Anyone managed to get Eagles-Jags tickets? I was so excited to have Eagles come to London but couldn't get a ticket and I do not want to pay a crazy price
Patriots were apparently prepared to trade up to the #2 position to get Mayfield if the Browns took Darnold at 1.
He must have really impressed in personal interviews. Would love to know how.
What a shitty franchise the Redskins are.
He must’ve been rated higher all along amongst the NFL than generally thought, at least until right before the draft when the rumors of what would happen started gaining traction.
Otherwise, the Browns should’ve been able to take one of the highest graded overall prospects (Barkley or Chubb) at #1 and still be confident of getting Baker at 4.
According to Highsmith he exuded a certain "efficacy" that won him over (which is another way of saying he had Swag).
That's what sounds like may have happened.
Jimmy G made the NFL Top 100 list lol
Its the exact reason I wanted Browns to take him , he has the personality to turn this franchise around
Hope Baker Mayfield smashes it. Don’t like any of the other top QBs this year. Josh Allen is OK I guess.
Ever watched how Garrett coaches the final two minutes of game, with or without the lead? He's got limited-to-zero awareness and no clock or game management skills. He lacks vocal qualities and seemingly is just a typical Jerry coaching puppet. In fact, he would never have coached in Dallas if not for his 90s third-string darling QB connection to the club. He's just a more likeable Chan Gailey and is basically an adopted son to the owner. No other coached would have remained this long under Jerry with such average results.
A lot people do not believe this is true, especially giving up numerous draft assets current and future would be the complete opposite of a BB move. Sounds like fiction drummed up by whomever to create a story, perhaps push a narrative.
Yeah there’s quite a few reports which say that it was never actually that likely to happen.
