BEARS FOR REAL W NAGY AND MACK
Khalil Mack, game wrecker, Chicago. I’ve lost count how many times we’ve lauded Mack in this space this season. The ex-Raider was at it again Sunday night against Minnesota, registering a sack, a tackle for loss, a fumble recovery and just being a flat-out difference maker every time the Bears defense was on the field
-Riders traded LT
reen Bay’s regular-season record since Christmas Day 2015: 21-22-1.
Aaron Rodgers has started 35 of the 44 games. The Packers are 18-16-1 in the games he’s started in that period.
I think Adam Schefter is eminently trustworthy, which is why I am fairly sure there was something to his report Sunday that the Browns may be interested in interviewing former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice for their head-coaching job. Notice the wording there: interested in interviewing. Schefter wrote the Browns “would like to interview” Rice. He did not write, the Browns “would like to hire” Rice. Why would Cleveland want to do this—if indeed the Browns ever did? I am reminded of an old Al Davis story. When I asked someone in the Raider organization once about Davis’ tendency to talk to six or eight people every time he had a coaching opening (and to do long, painstaking interviews), he told me Davis loved milking information and ideas from smart people in football, sometimes in the guise of being interested in hiring them. My biggest problem with the concept is, as Rice admitted in a statement Sunday, she is “not ready to coach.” Right. The idea of her being anything other than a consultant-type interview is asinine. Let’s let a cadre of women who love football make their way in it.
GLEASON VS CLARK
I think you’ll see me on TV Thursday night, if you wish, at halftime of Falcons-Saints doing a story on former Saints special-teamer Steve Gleason, who has ALS. My story is about his drive to raise money for the Answer ALS cause, which seeks to pool all ALS research information and raise money, while being a dad and husband. Eight years after he was diagnosed, Gleason and wife Michel had their second child, Gray, to go with seven-year-old son Rivers, with the help of a frozen embryo and … well, let Michel tell it: “We had this one embryo left and I knew I was about to turn 40, and so we talked about it, and I wanted to be able to look Rivers in the eye when he got older and say, ‘I did everything I could to be able to give you a sibling.’ That’s how important I think siblings are.” You’ll see the story of a determined man and his family Thursday evening. A quick video teaser:

STEVE KERR 530
-I LOVE WHEN THEY DOUBT YOU GUYS
-CURRY GROIN: SAW HIM GETTIN UP SHOTS
-DRAY' S TOE
THE REAL NBA:
"We've had such a charmed existence the last four seasons. So, of course, this is the toughest stretch we've been in,'' Kerr said after Sunday's loss to San Antonio. ''This is the real NBA. We haven't been in the real NBA the last few years. We've been in this dream. So, now we're faced with real adversity. We've got to get out of it ourselves.''
PLAY WITH JOY - HARD WHEN YOUR ELOSING:
Just play with joy. It's always been about just our emotion," Durant said, describing how Kerr has encouraged his club. "He's always been big about that. He's just trying to get that joy back."
There wasn't much joy to be found in San Antonio.
DeMar DeRozan had 20 points and nine assists and Rudy Gay added 19 points to help the Spurs snap a three-game slide.
Golden State was without Curry and Green again, and their absence led to a cold start. Three nights after being held to a season-low output in a 107-86 loss at Houston, the Warriors nearly matched that dubious mark.
They missed all six 3-point attempts in the first quarter as San Antonio jumped out to a 33-27 lead. The Spurs' Rudy Gay scored 12 points in the opening period. San Antonio also frustrated the Warriors on offense for much of the game. After quickly regaining an errant pass on their end of the court in the third quarter, Durant passed up a 3-pointer to fire a pass in the lane to Damian Jones only to have Gay stuff him at the rim.
It’s been a rocky couple of weeks for Green. He hurt the toe against Memphis on Nov. 5, missed Golden State’s next two games, returned for the game against the Clippers -- the one where he had the dustup with Durant -- and was suspended by the Warriors for their next game, against Atlanta on Wednesday. Green then played in Houston the next night, on a minutes restriction because of the toe, and went scoreless.
“We decided to give him some time off,” Kerr said Saturday. “We don’t know how long it will be, but the toe has been lingering, the injury has been lingering. He felt and we felt and our training staff felt that we’re spinning our wheels a little bit if we keep playing him. We’ve got to get him better.”
-HOW S CHEMISTRY?
CURRY UPDATE:
Curry missed his sixth straight game on Sunday with a strained left groin, and is likely to miss at least another week before he’s cleared to return. He wasn’t in Los Angeles for the Clippers game.
“It’s been different. It’s been tough,” Curry said Saturday. “Obviously it sucks not being able to play, sucks when you’re not with the team and something like that happens.”
Curry was asked why he thinks Durant and Green will reconcile.
“They have a lot of equity built in their relationship,” Curry said. “They’ve won championships together. They’ve brought out the best in each other. Obviously, I don’t think they’ve had an incident to this level, but you don’t have the experiences that you’ve had and go through the journey that we’ve been on and let it be derailed by something like that.”

I’m reluctant to treat last night’s game as new normal. I’ve covered both of those teams a lot this year — and it was clear last night’s game had monster potential.
Other teams will try to follow suit. New rules help. Points will be higher. But last night was still an outlier. | |

Monday night’s game was the first in NFL history where both teams scored 50 points. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, no team in NFL history has scored 50 points in a loss. Entering the game, NFL teams scoring 50+ points were 216-0 all-time. So much for that....

Jalen Ramsey just turned 24, is due $3.6M in 2019 with the 2020 fifth-year option available too. If the Jaguars do actively shop him, the list of suitors that would ponder a deal will likely include: the 31 other NFL teams.
