NFL coaches who sing along with the national anthem are cursed to lose their games.
Both of the coaches who sang along with the national anthem lost today... Patriotism on the hot seat. It was Peyton and Andy Reid. Why did we not have a microphone satellite dish right in Andy Reid's face while he was singing along?

View episodeRob Gronkowski was sandbagging all season and is actually the best tight end in the NFL again
I'm going to eat a bird, a big black bird with feathers, and say that Rob Gronkowski was sandbagging the entire season. He's totally healthy. He's actually the best tight end in the NFL right now. I'm sure he'll show up for the Super Bowl.
Andy Reid's clock management in overtime was baffling and classic Andy Reid
I still don't understand Andy Reid, and I don't want to blame, you know, do the timeout thing, but you have three timeouts in overtime that can't end in a tie... And he let his defense just die out there without calling one timeout, whether it be at a third and ten, whether it be when the Patriots get to the goal line. It was baffling to see... That happened. I guess it wasn't really baffling because that's Andy Reid.
Tony Romo is receiving the coordinators' play-call audio in his earpiece during broadcasts
I know someone who works for the CBS football production team, and CBS is pulling play-call audio and hot routes from the same radio channel that the coordinators send to play into the QB's helmet. They direct the audio into Romo's earpiece, and he appears to know all the calls beforehand.

View profileThe Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier
Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.
Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland
This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.
The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games
I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.
