According to SI’s Don Banks, the Tennessee Titans will fire their Head Coach of 16 seasons, Jeff Fisher. The move comes as a surprise, since it appeared Fisher had won the power struggle with embattled QB Vince Young, and because the firing is taking place so late into the off-season. As for who replaces Fisher, the list of available guys has dwindled, with Josh McDaniels taking the OC job in St.Louis and Rob Ryan taking the DC job in Dallas, but barring a trip down retread(Gregg Williams) lane, a few guys to keep an eye on would be Jets DC [...]

Jay Cutler might be a pussy. He might have a torn MCL. We don’t know yet. But just by looking at him on the sideline yesterday, seeing his body language, seeing him just…sulk, it’s become pretty clear….Jay Cutler will never win a Super Bowl. He just doesn’t have it. Whatever the it is, the thing that every winning QB from Bart Starr to Terry Bradshaw to Elway to Favre to Brady to Roethlisberger….he doesn’t have it. You can talk about the arm, how pretty his passes are, but if you switched him and Roethlisberger, does Cutler make that 3rd down [...]

If Rex can have football, I guess Santonio can have dickball.

Mock Drafts are awesome, and mock drafts for football are beyond the best and least predictable. No draft will be less predictable than 2011, with the lock out looming, the presumptive #1 pick staying in school, and a influx of new coaches, shit will get crazy. So, every so often, we’re gonna mock out the 1st 32 picks. Pre- free agency, pre-trade season, pre-Super Bowl, as the title says- we ain’t gotta clue. But(!) that doesn’t mean we can’t give it the old (JR.) college try. Enjoy! 1- Carolina Panthers: DaQuan Bowers DE, Clemson 2- Denver Broncos: Nick Fairley DT, [...]

Multiple sources(here,here,and here) are reporting that Rich Rodriguez has been FIRED as Michigans Head Coach. We said our big piece on the matter early this morning, but lemme just say this: When you fuck over your entire football team, coaching staff, employer, and an entire state and fanbase by throwing a game as egregiously as he threw the Pitt game that year, you deserve what you’ve gotten. The verbal abuse from an entire state, not getting Pryor, all the beatings, the practice time scandal, the Josh Groban thing, the worst bowl beat down in Michigan history, and now-public firing. Thanks [...]

One thing that is universally enjoyable is when people get what they deserve. That’s why executions used to be public events. It’s just great to see someone get what’s coming to them. That’s why Michigan’s firing of Rich Rodriguez is going to be so enjoyable. The guy quit on WVU before the biggest game in school history, tried to screw the whole program on his way out, then played the ”oh my children were taunted at school” pity card. Of course your kids were taunted you jackass, they were the only ones left because your ass got outta town 5 [...]

Oof. That axe came down quick from team president Mike Holmgren. After being absolutely destroyed by Pittsburgh yesterday, he probably deserved it. But what did Holmgren expect when all Mangini was given for QB’s were Seneca Wallace, Jake Del-Suck, and a mildly promising but physically limited rookie? The Browns need an offensive HC, someone with the west coast background that Holmgren prefers. As for Mangini? If I’m UConn, I’m already dialing his cell.

ESPN produces a lot of shit. Some awful things are shoved down our throats by this all encompassing sports giant, be it online content, radio, or TV. Not everything the WWL spits out is bad though. Simmons is good, Chad Ford’s draft stuff is awesome, and their fantasy stuff is the best I’ve seen by far. All of that pales in comparison to the holy grail of time wasters- ESPN.com’s NBA Trade Machine. Jesus is that thing fun to mess around with, a revelation for the 12 remaining NBA obsessed fans out there. So I decided to make up a [...]
