Dan Campbell on Jared Goff
Dan says he is committed to making Goff the Detroit Lions long term quarterback. “There’s nothing that tells me he can’t be,” Campbell said. “When you have a quarterback you believe in, why would you ever move on? I get there are other circumstances, but it’s hard to find quarterbacks in this league. We’ve got a guy we can win with right now. We’re fortunate to have him; that’s how I see it.”
So I guess Detroit will never win a Super Bowl.

Should We Watch Safdie Doc Telemarketers?
The Safdie brothers have ramped up our heart rates with their intense films, and now they’ve produced a doc coming out about the biggest telemarketing scam in history. The directors spent 20 years putting this bad boy together from the inside. And here’s what the Daily Beast had to say about it. “A grungy first-person account of an outlaw profession, a damning exposé of a corrupt industry, and a heartening saga of friendship and redemption. Altogether, it’s a jaw-dropping ride through a Wild West of unhinged ex-cons, crooked cops, dishonest businessmen, and powerless bureaucrats—at once astonishing, infuriating, and touching.
There’s a layer of hell that is going to be packed full of two bit gifters.
