Sean Payton steps down from coaching the Saints.

With nine head coach openings, do you think there's any chance of some black guys being hired?

It's just not the same without Drew. Now they can watch games together, throw beer at the tv and and call the officials dirty names

They could televise that like Peyton and Eli Manning.

Here is a video, end zone perspective, showing Stafford's long pass from the last playoff game.

I kinda liked how Suh widened his stance to dig in for the impending smash on Stafford.  That man is a beast.

I've seen some commentary that the Bucs were blitzing, so all Stafford had to do was crank it and hope that someone found it.  If true, Cupp is the real hero on this play.

[edit] Well...shit.  Apparently we still can't embed videos?  @BartEll?

Seems like the Bears are gonna go with Jim Caldwell.

Fired before he was even hired.  MF can't catch a break.

OMG  You love football! You're as bad as me!

Past tense.  For me the top sports leagues have had the fun sucked out of them, in so many ways.  I still follow the local teams - not even sure why - but I don't watch or go anymore. 

The only thing left that I watch are the multi-stage bike races shown here, but I even skipped the Tour de France in 2019 and 2020.

I'm deeply shocked.  You are always so cheerful and optimistic, why it is that everyone is just sucking the joy out of your life? 

Ron White was doing a show, televised, and talking about a show that he did in Fort Polk, Louisiana.  At the start of the show he was making some small talk and mentioned that there were 39.000 troops stationed there.

And some woman in the front row yelled out "Yeah, an' ever one of 'ems a BAD FUCK!"

White, as he tells it, thought about it a beat and then replied, "You know, I'd think that after 39,000 times you'd think, 'Maybe it's me?'"

Just food for thought, there buddie.

Maybe it is me.  Doesn't matter, if it's not fun anymore I'd rather do something else.  So what?

You reply to practically all of my posts where I mention you or one of your body parts. 

What can we conclude from these two statements?

That you're dumb and boring?

The more I think about the almost 43 Million who watched Buffalo and Kansas City, the more I am impressed on how NFL does their business. Any other sport a match between these two cities would be ratings poison. Buffalo not big enough to have an NBA or MLB team, KC not big enough for NBA or NHL, and you know MLB would be pull their hair out if the Royals ever made the World Series because of the small market. But none of that matters to the NFL, they are so good at promoting the league, the players and the stories of every team that the market is not a big difference maker.

The chart below shows how much NFL dominates the Top 100 broadcasts in 2021 (75 out of a 100) We have Biden's inauguration (7) and Congressional adress (12) which was carried on all channels, the Macy's Day Parade (31)  The Equalizer (36) premiere TV show was on right after the Super Bowl that helped it's number. Everything else in the Top 50 (41 out of 50)  was NFL football the other in the Top 50s were NCAA 3 Bowl Games (Sugar, Rose, Championship) and two Summer Olympic broadcast

The Royals won the World Series in 2015 against the Mets

TV ratings for the World Series have dropped for years. 2015 there was actually an uptick, probably because of the fucking Mets. But nothing compared to the uptick in 2016 when the Cubs beat Cleveland (another small market AL team).

That you're dumb and boring?

So you enjoy dumb and boring almost as much as affixing your lips to the ample, sweaty posterior of Cadet Bonespurs?

Small wonder that you don't like professional sports.  Or the Libs.

I get your meaning, Petunia, but I ain't sticking my knob anywhere near that.

The truth is that the only way you can cum is if you read one of my posts about you. I swear as soon as you see the recent posts list and my username, you become diamond hard.

This is a really interesting article about Aaron Rodgers.

You hear his own words in detail.  Some surprises there.  Well worth the read.  Except PB, because it's tl;dr at more than 200 words.
