Kick it!
The slithering sound you hear…is Colin Cowherd scooting away from Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers.
January 21, 2024 (after Packers-49ers playoff game): “Honestly, never had a higher opinion of Packers HC Matt LaFleur. To take this young roster into that environment and outplay SF for much of the game was really impressive. Niners are stacked with some veteran, HOF talent. Green Bay should be excellent for years.”—Cowherd.
If there’s ever a time during the year when the enemy of my enemy is my friend, it’s during football season.
I think I’m right about the Baltimore Ravens being fool’s gold, but to drive that point home, I need the Dallas Cowboys to beat them in Brazil.
The Ravens aren’t the Russians, so how can I root for the Cowboys against them?
It’s an interesting game. If the Cowboys lose, it means nothing — everyone thinks they suck, but if the Ravens lose—on the heels of losing to the Saints last Sunday—there will be a whirlwind.
Back to Thursday Night: What a difference a quarterback makes…and I’m the first to admit I was out on Michael Penix and the Atlanta Falcons. I’m still not convinced the team or Penix is great…but they could be good enough in the NFC South.
Are the Los Angeles Rams reliant on the big play? They ran for 163 yards on 28 carries, 5.8 per carry, against the New York Giants on Monday night.
Sometimes you have to wonder about the people who are paid to watch.
Note to Sean McVay: Pound the ball in Denver. The opportunity is there.
Fog City edge rusher Nick Bosa is hurt? In practice? Nah, I don’t believe it.
I like the Buffalo Bills, but part of me can’t help but root for Jim Harbaugh and the Bolts this Sunday.
#115—May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth…
The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers have improved to 79-80 on the season.
Nevada head basketball coach Steve Alford said he is retiring at the end of the 2026-’27 season…and everyone thought he’d one day coach the Hoosiers.
Would a Houston Texans loss in Indy this week force a conversation about turning to Davis Mills and moving away from C.J. Stroud?
Could Ole Miss be looking at a trap game against Florida tomorrow? I hope Trinidad Chambliss is lined up with his Hotty blanking Toddy…
If USC loses to Oregon at home, the Trojan fanbase will morph into #LincolnMustGo…and it will only be a matter of time.
Speaking of mismanagement, why would the WNBA open its playoff schedule on Sunday against the NFL?
Answer: Because it doesn’t matter.
The Dude abides…
