[Ford Field] has got a dome…No, nothing planned. We’re indoors and we only have to be outside for 20 seconds getting off the bus, so we’ll be okay.”Too good. It always amazes me how disconnected the media can be at times. How can anyone possibly make this mistake? Unless the reporter in question was in fact asking how Baker and the boys will deal with walking from the team’s bus into Ford Field, then there’s really no time or place to be this stupid while talking to an NFL head coach. I’m not calling for the reporter’s credentials but at some point, there’s a level of preparedness that needs to be reached before you can ask questions, right? This immediately reminded me of Alshon Jeffery’s legendary media day interview ahead of Super Bowl LII when a reporter asked him basically the same question regardless of the fact that the game was being played inside at Minnesota Vikings’ U.S. Bank Stadium.

At this point, I’m hoping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers keep rolling and beat Detroit on Sunday, assuming they can deal with the temperature inside Ford Field.Jalen Hurts soft defense of Nick Sirianni last night is a strong indicator that the Eagles will be in the market for a new head coach in 2024 &gt;&gt;Join The Chase</div></body>
