Ya that's for sure.  We don't need him here.  Chargers are a top spot for him too.  Commanders and another one too. 

[Bobberineyes]

Was it official then,  I didn't hear??

[LPS]

Not a done deal with Belicheck yet but he talks about it in public so of course he is in the loop. 

[glenn57]

 

[LPS]

Exactly.  What is up with all of this Dallas hype.  They always blow it.  Dak is good but that's it.  Now let's see if I know xhit.  LOL I did pick them in this first one. 

[dutchboy]

CeeDee Lamb is a game breaker if Dak has the time to throw to him.

[Gunner55]

They're favored by 7.5 & it is in Dallas, they haven't been nearly as good on the road. GB has won 6 out their last 7 games too. 

[LPS]

Gonna be some good games.

[LPS]

Belicheck is gone from the Patriots.

[Gunner55]

I wouldn't mind it if that game ended in a tie!!

[KEN W]

Pete Carroll out in Seattle.

[Steve-o]

I hope they get Harbaugh.  That team and that guy deserve each other.

[Gunner55]

Belicheck is gone from the Patriots.

It looks like 2 of our coaches could be talking with the Patriots about a job. https://vikingsterritory.com/2024/news/analysis/not-brian-flores

[dutchboy]

Flores isn't getting that job.

Mayo is the frontrunner and most likely to get it.

On a related note on Mad Dog Radio theres speculation Belichicks best spot would be Atlanta with the Falcons emptying the bank for Cousins. 

[Gunner55]

  It looks like they've been talking to Mayo for a while but McCardell might still get a shot at the OC job. Vrabel & Flores were still mentioned in the pc I read. They passed a new rule that says no interviews until after the divisional round of the playoffs but that wouldn't matter if they want Mayo. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/01/11/jerod-mayo-patriots-head-coach-succession/

The only Mad Dog I know says some pretty  stuff, so that's probably just some poo he threw against the wall to see if it would stick.  Besides, I thought he was going to retire? https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-news-fans-hilariously-troll-chris-mad-dog-russo-retirement-bet-phillies

[KEN W]

Jerod Mayo hired to replace Bill Belichick as Patriots coach

[KEN W]

Total BS.......Tomorrow night's game between between Chiefs and Miami have to pay extra for on Peacock Network. I would be really PO'd if I was a big fan of one those two.

[Gunner55]

  A lot of fans over that. Only in KC & Miami areas will NBC have it, they're sayin it's gonna be -30 in KC tomorrow night too.

[dutchboy]

Until people quit watching they will keep taking it to pay venues.

[Jerkbiat]

Yup. It pizzes me off they keep doing more of that. I'm not paying for extra service just to watch. Not that important to me. The more they keep doing that the less I will watch.

[Gunner55]

  “Considering cord-cutting and the soft TV ad-sales market, I think they have no choice but to pursue streaming because that’s where the growth is gonna be," John Kosner, the president of digital media and sports consultancy Kosner Media, told USA TODAY Sports. "That’s where media companies are investing.”

NBC Sports president Rick Cordella said the window was presented as a streaming-only game as part of the new media rights deal that went into effect prior to this season. NBCUniversal put together a pitch for the Saturday night game to air on Peacock. That, plus a reported $110 million, was all it took for Peacock to score rights to a matchup that resulted in the No. 3 Kansas City Chiefs — "Swifties," meet "The Office" — and No. 6 Dolphins.   

[glenn57]

nuttin more then a  money grab!!!!!!

[LPS]

Pisses me off too.

[KEN W]

I'm not paying Xtra just to get that 1 game. Just like I won't pay for ESPN+ just to watch Xtra college games.

[LPS]

I hope it is a record low watching number for it.  Too bad I wanted to watch it. 

[glenn57]

I hope it is a record low watching number for it.  Too bad I wanted to watch it.

yea it woulda been fun to watch with the weather there expecting. that and the buffalo game.

think its kinda  the NFL didnt

 move those games.  like even have the Chiefs game earlier in the day when its the warmest. humans shouldnt have to deal with those extreme weather conditions.....like bud grant did!!!!!

[dutchboy]

Much like dumping Biden / Walz with our votes the only way to protest these types of games is to avoid getting extorted to watch them.

Much like the war on drugs....just say NO!! However the results of saying no will be similar.  The NFL cartel will win like the drug cartels won.

[Jerkbiat]

Well I'm just saying no. 

[fishingstar]

this hole streaming thing is going to hit the older crowd hard. The twins might be going to amazon and for example my parents are in a nursing home you go visit in the evening almost tv is tuned into the twins. How are they going to watch? I'm 60 we do some streaming with sharing subscriptions with our kids. but there is no way I would do it full time. To big of a pain in the ass.
