Horrendous horrendous story, that repeats every week, multiple times a week in this country. But there will be no wailing from politicians and calls for new laws to address this rampant dangerous behaviour that is endangering and killing our people.

A teenage girl is in a critical condition after being struck by a car in Co Offaly. A second pedestrian, a boy in his mid-teens, was hospitalised with non-life threatening injuries. A man in his 40s has been arrested. jrnl.ie/6947491

Twenty One #NFL teams will have a new offensive co-ordinator in 2026. Going to thread 🧵out all 32 teams, who was their OC & HC in 2025, and now in 2026. As well as noting if they are play caller. This will have big impact on #fantasyfootball

Rams 25 OC Mike LaFleur / not play caller 26 HC remains Sean McVay, offensive minded 26 OC TBC / Rumour has Nate Scheelhaase, their passing game co-ordinator to get promoted Seahawks 25 OC Klint Kubiak 26 HC remains Mike Macdonald, offensive minded 26 OC TBC

That is unprecedented level of change in co-ordinators for a season, now it is a lot less on the playcalling front, as a lot of those changes are guys going to become playcallers like Mike LaFleur & Declan Doyle but it still shapes up to be a huge shake up for next season.

Panthers 26 OC remains Brad Idzik / not play caller 26 HC remains Dave Canales, offensive minded Saints 26 OC remains Doug Nussmeier / not play caller 26 HC remains Kellen Moore, offensive minded

NFC West Cardinals 2025 OC Drew Petzing 2026 HC is Mike LaFleur (LAR OC), offensive minded 2026 OC Nathaniel Hackett (24 NYJ OC) 49ers 26 OC remains Klay Kubiak / not play caller 26 HC remains Kyle Shanahan, offensive minded

Packers 26 remains OC Adam Stenavich / not play caller 26 HC remains Matt LaFleur, offensive minded Vikings 26 remains Wes Phillips / not play caller 26 HC remains Kevin O'Connell, offensive minded

NFC South Buccaneers 25 OC Josh Grizzard 26 HC remains Todd Bowles, defensive minded 26 OC Zac Robinson (25 ATL OC) Falcons 25 OC Zac Robinson 26 HC is Kevin Stefanski (25 CLE HC), offensive minded 26 OC Tommy Rees (CLE 25 OC)

Eagles 25 OC Greg Roman 26 HC remains Jim Harbaugh, offensive minded 26 OC Sean Mannion (25 GB QB coach) Giants 2025 OC Mike Kafka / not play caller 2026 HC is John Harbaugh (26 Ravens HC), defensive minded 2026 OC Matt Nagy (25 KC OC)

NFC North Bears 25 OC Declan Doyle / not play caller 26 HC remains Ben Johnson, offensive minded 26 OC TBC - rumoured to be Connor Senger, ARI pass game specialist Lions 25 OC John Morton / lost play calling during season 26 HC remains Dan Campbell, offensive minded 26 OC Drew Petzing (25 ARI OC)

Chargers 25 OC Kevin Patullo / lost play calling during season 26 HC remains Nick Sirianni, offensive minded 26 OC Mike McDaniel (25 MIA HC) Raiders 2025 OC Chip Kelly 2026 HC will be Klint Kubiak (25 SEA OC), offensive minded 2026 OC tbc

NFC East Cowboys 26 OC remains Klayton Adams / not play caller 26 HC remains Brian Schottenheimer, offensive minded Commanders 25 OC Kliff Kingsbury 26 HC remains Dan Quinn, defensive minded 26 OC David Blough (25 WAS QB coach)

Texans 25 OC Nick Caley 26 HC remains DeMeco Ryans, defensive minded Titans 25 OC Nick Holz 26 HC is Robert Saleh (26 SF DC), defensive minded 26 OC Brian Daboll (25 NYG HC)

AFC West Broncos 25 OC Joe Lombardi / not play caller 26 HC remains Sean Payton, offensive minded 26 OC Davis Webb (25 DEN QB coach) Chiefs 25 OC Matt Nagy / not play caller 26 HC remains Andy Reid, offensive minded 26 Eric Bieniemy (25 CHI RB coach)

Ravens 25 OC Todd Monken 26 HC is Jesse Minter (25 LAC DC), defensive minded 26 OC Declan Doyle (25 CHI OC) Steelers 25 OC Arthur Smith 26 HC is Mike McCarthy (24 DAL HC), offensive minded 26 OC Brian Angelichio (25 MIN TE & passing game coordinator)

AFC South Colts 25 OC Jim Bob Cooter / not play caller 26 HC remains Shane Steichen, offensive minded Jaguars 25 OC Grant Udinski / not play caller 26 HC remains Liam Coen, offensive minded

Jets 25 OC Tanner Engstrand 26 HC remains Aaron Glenn, defensive minded 26 OC Frank Reich (23 IND HC) Patriots 25 OC Josh McDaniels 26 HC remains Mike Vrabel, offensive minded

AFC North Bengals 25 OC Dan Pitcher / not play caller 26 HC remains Zac Taylor, offensive minded Browns 2025 OC Tommy Rees / not play caller 2026 Todd Monken (25 BAL OC), offensive minded 2026 OC Travis Switzer (25 BAL run game coordinator)

it could still be 22 if Seattle don't internally hire to replace Kubiak. Dan Pitcher declined to interview for Bears OC job, but Seattle would be a promotion which the Bears wasn't for him. He could be play caller in Seattle. Internal promotion very likely at this stage, but it remains an unknown.

AFC East Bills 2025 OC Joe Brady 2026 HC Joe Brady (26 BUF OC), offensive minded 2026 OC Pete Carmichael (25 DEN senior offensive assistant) Dolphins 25 OC Frank Smith / not play caller 26 HC is Jeff Hafley (25 GB DC), offensive minded 26 OC Bobby Slowik (25 MIA passing game)

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.
