Well,  it looks like the Rams will be hosting the Bengals in the Super Bowl.

This will make either 3 or 4 superbowls I'll miss in a row in the NFL Woke era.

I was kind of glad the teams the sports media were rooting for didn't make it. Also, one of my favorites in the LPGA, Lydia Ko, won yesterday. It was a good sports day.

I did have to laugh at the match up.  This is almost the equivlancy of a Brewers- Royals World Series.   Keep League officals  and advertisers away from 10th story windows for awhile.

The way ratings have been falling with the same old year after year... this might actually be a relief to them. Four out of the past five years, Tom Brady was there, and now he's gone... and Patrick Mahomes was in the last two. Seeing someone new might actually be refreshing.

Dolphins' owner Stephen Ross allegedly offered Brian Flores $100k for every loss that improved the team's draft position.

Anyone else notice every single recent playoff game was a supposed possible best playoff game of all time?  And Last 6 playoff games were decided by less than a TD?  Pretty coincidental don't you think in the era of 6000+ yard a year passers?

 

Not believing or accusing that actually happened, but from a perspective fan interest standpoint, if they did want to script this woke corrupt game.......... 

Then add the timing of this accusation?  And game throwing and score fixing is a phenmemon that did happen to baseball a 100 years ago.

The Deadskins become the Commanders. 

In five years, someone will trace the word 'commander' back to the Knights Templar, and will be demanding they change it because of atrocities committed against the Turks at Malta.

Nice of them to name  their team after Joe and Dr. Jill's new dog.

Hue Jackson accuses Cleveland Browns of incentivizing losing during 2016, '17 football seasons
Jake Trotter


Former Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday on ESPN's SportsCenter that the team had a "four-year plan" that incentivized losing during the first two years which led to his 1-31 record during the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

Jackson said that bonus money was available if certain measurables were met such as aggregate rankings, being the youngest team and having so many draft picks.

"Teams that win are just not the youngest team, not that the youngest teams can't win, so I didn't understand the process," Jackson told ESPN. "I didn't understand what the plan was, I asked for clarity because it did not talk about winning and losing until Year 3 and 4. So that told you right there that something wasn't correct but I still couldn't understand it until I had the team that I had."

If anybody out there thinks this isn't done by a number of franchises in any given season...think again.

Every day the Browns kept Hue Jackson on the payroll, they demonstrated an utter lack of desire to win. I don't suppose that's what Hue is talking about, though. He went 1-31. Shut up.

Whitlock: ESPN race-baiters will not tell you that Brian Flores is actually hurting black coaches
Jason Whitlock
February 04, 2022

Let’s ask the obvious question as it relates to Brian Flores’ discrimination lawsuit against the NFL, the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, and Miami Dolphins:

Has Flores damaged the job prospects and work relationships of his black coaching peers?

No doubt, Flores is a hero to Nate Burleson, Mike Greenberg, Stephen A. Smith, Elle Duncan, Ryan Clark, Shannon Sharpe, and countless other blue-check sports media figures whose job is to goad and then celebrate emotional and non-strategic behavior from black men.

Flores is following in the footsteps of Colin Kaepernick, George Floyd, and Jacob Blake. He’s acting as an emotional trigger, a justification for chaos, animus, and protest. ...

Let me repeat: Stephen Ross ran the blackest organization in the NFL. Brian Flores is attempting to get Ross removed from the league. Stephen A. Smith, Ryan Clark, and the rest of ESPN’s BLM gang are assisting Flores in his effort to kick Ross out of the league.

Brian Flores is hurting black coaches.  ...

Well I hope you fans here enjoy it, I think the last time I watched pro football it was the Rams playing and the announcer was saying something about Gabriel to Snow.
