• Do you think you'll make the opening day roster for Oakland?

• Did your public political stuff affect your FA status and/or contract negotiations?

• Has the League ever spoken with you about any of your public comments, writing for Deadspin, etc.?

• Thoughts on Aaron Hernandez?

1) How do you respond to the frequent criticism that you're an apologist for the league & football "establishment," even with its controversial and/or unpopular policies?

2) What sets themmqb apart from... well, just all those writers' columns on SI.com like they were before?

2a) I'm sure many people will hear about your site and think that SI was just trying to copy Grantland. Thoughts?

3) Lots of your coffee reviews are from chain places which is understandable, especially with the amount of travel you do. Do you ever seek out "third-wave" coffee shops? Any favorites?

4) How many games will Gronk actually play this year?

5) Who's your favorite NFL writer who's not you, and not on themmqb?

Thanks!

Does the title of Iron Chef actually carry any respect/gravitas within the restaurant industry, or is it generally seen to be mostly a TV thing?
