There has never been another player like Pete Rose in my lifetime. This is the way I will remember him, playing the game harder than anyone else ever did. Few athletes will leave behind more complicated legacies. Today isn’t the day for that. Today, let’s just say thanks to

This is the greatest run of Patrick Mahomes career. His team was the most vulnerable it’s ever been. He had to face Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson on the road. And he’s back in the Super Bowl. He’s the best quarterback ever and he’s 28 years old. #ChiefsKingdom.

If you don’t think coaching is everything in the NFL, then you aren’t watching Malik Willis or Sam Darnold or Justin Fields play. (*or a half dozen others too.).

Caleb Williams was drafted ahead of Daniels, Maye and Nix because of his talent. He is playing worse than any of them because of his coaching. The #Bears are doing it again to another young quarterback. So predictable, so frustrating.

The roughing call they just gave to Brady might be the most embarrassingly bad NFL call in five years. And there is zero chance they call it for any other quarterback. #Falcons.

In six days, the #Steelers made the two shrewdest QB moves the NFL has seen in years. Almost zero risk, enormous potential reward. Times two. Plus, willing to admit a mistake and cut losses with a first round pick. That’s elite franchise management, across the board.

So, if I am to understand this correctly, the #Jets have devoted their entire franchise to the cause of making it work around Aaron Rodgers, and he just might be running for vice president. This is going to be the greatest 30 for 30 of all time.

In a season filled with embarrassing performances, that was the worst. In a history filled with horrible seasons, this may be the worst. The #Jets of 2024 are one of the truly colossal failures in recent sports memory. And it only gets worse from here.

Josh Gordon is not a bad guy. He’s a good guy with a very bad problem. I wish him well as he continues to try to get healthy. Whether he plays football again or not really isn’t what matters here.

Respect to Baker Mayfield, who showed all year, and again today, he deserves to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. Still young enough to completely rewrite the narrative on his career, this year was a good start. #Bucs.

There are a lot of people, and I am most certainly one, who owe Brian Gutekunst an apology. This team didn’t rebuild after Aaron, it got better. Immediately. They are young, super talented, and the qb has star written all over him. The GM deserves to take a bow. #Packers.

Anyone booing the memory of Jerry Krause is not only classless, but also clueless. He built those teams: Phil, Scottie, Horace, Rodman, and kept the bench stocked with valuable role players. So, if you boo his family you are not only a jerk, you also have no clue. #Bulls

There isn’t much left to say that isn’t redundant and obvious. The #Jets are terribly coached, their talent is overrated, and they play with absolutely no fire. Nothing about them is enjoyable to watch or root for. This disaster of a season cannot possibly end fast enough.

The story of Tom Brady changing teams at 43, joining a franchise that hadn’t been to the playoffs in 13 years, and winning the whole thing in his first season, ranks up there with pretty much anything that has ever happened in the history of the sport. #Bucs #SuperBowl.
