    Never met anyone quite like Peter Vermes. So this is long overdue: A deep dive into the stories, upbringing and emotions that make him who he is:

    On replay, that’s clear helmet to helmet contact.

    I don’t think Knox gets a foot down. But isn’t that targeting?

    Espn has the FG target line on the field with MU down five. Maybe they’re responsible for Odom’s two-point/PAT chart.

    Even worse than kicking the PAT is calling timeout beforehand to save the five yards on the PAT.

    Oh man. This is sad. Peter Vermes always credits Schmid with helping to advance his coaching career when he added him to the US U-20s staff.

    Sad news....Former coach Sigi Schmid, the winningest manager in history, passed away on Christmas Day

    Larry Fitzgerald stays legendary. Before answering any questions, he gave a longtime media member a Christmas present he won't forget.

    Wow. Week 16. No. 1 seed on the line. Primetime TV game. In one of the two toughest venues in the NFL. Good luck, rookies.

    ICYMI: Nov. 2 Josh Hawley told a TV reporter that a KC Star story about how political operatives steered the AG's office was false, while avoiding me as I waited outside his campaign bus. But records from his office make it clear the story was all too true

    Vermes said Ike Opara situation was taken out of context. He adds "We haven't even come close to anything significant" in terms of "real offer" for him. Offseason focus on additions first, then existing players next. I've been told by team sources the plan is to have him back.

    Vermes said it would likely be a No. 9, but he's confident in Nemeth being the guy. Reading between the lines: Sounds like a potential depth move.

    Peter Vermes said there's a good chance there will be one more addition but it would come later, likely after the new year, possibly even into February.
