Re: NFL 2023 Week 8 - Oilers

Why is Belichek wearing a Croatian flag? I assume from the name he’s Croatian, but is there a reason he’s showing the flag today? Is there yet another war I missed? Seen it on other coaches too this season for other countries. Certain you are right on Belichek’s ancestry. Think it’s a league effort...

So, we met with the oncologist and dropped Tank off for amputation yesterday. Leg and shoulder will be removed sometime this afternoon.
