Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are likely to break up after this season

My Hot Seat is Mike Tomlin and the Steelers. Because I actually think that he might, this might be it... they don't change anything. And it's, I mean, TJ Watt said it. I think the bills ran the same play 27 times on Sunday. Yeah. That's insane. It feels like this is finally [the end].

Ryan Polls deserves an apology for building a Bears offensive line with a true identity

Georgia is in the best possible position because they can get a playoff bye without playing the SEC championship game
