Ok maybe this will get deleted or locked but I was listening to Around the Horn and one of the guys used spreadattack to back up his pov on Chip Kelly in the NFL. It just sort of fun to know someone you talk to on the board and such and they get recognized. It also makes you think about all the different people we talk to on this board and not truly know how successful or unsuccessful they might be.

That's awesome
before you know it, coachhuey will be all over ESPN and the major networks... slowly money, fame, women, and drugs take over the board and members begin to experiment with post enhancing drugs

Some of us will die young, while some of us will go in and out of rehab. John Knight, BLB, OJW will become like Keith Richards, seemingly immortal.
Will Monsieur A-11 be our very own Pete Best?

It was the opening when they were talking about Chip Kelly's offense in the NFL. One of the guys sited his article on Grantland to back up his point of view.

I don't think enough can be said about Chris Brown's work. Sure, we know the guy, because his subject matter appeals to us and we've all interacted with him on the forum here. That in itself has been enlightening and helpful. So, yeah, there is an immediacy of who he is.
I don't read much sports coverage (I try, but there isn't much out there) so this may be skewed, but I have not seen ANYTHING or any author that contributes as much to the game like Chris. Sports writers get so bogged down in jerking off tributes to themselves and their bs institution. True "coaches" write with such a narrow focus (how-to) that it can be uninteresting. Chris' analytic perspective provides a complete picture to help distill strategy, logistics, history and trends. You have a guy who can translate and introduce Andrew Coverdale to the masses in an interesting and digestible format
I could be wrong, but I feel his work has single-handedly raised the bar when it comes to football discourse globally. I would also venture to guess he has played a major role in many of the new coaches getting into the profession today.
so, yeah.....tl;dr - Chris kicks {censored}

Chris is a good dude for one. Knows the football too. It's good to have him around, on here, on the web doing what he does, writing books.
