Forty Niner legend John Brodie dies at age 90

He was the first Forty Niner quarterback I knew when I started following the team way back when. A legendary player and a great broadcaster. Never heard a bad word said about one of the all-time good guys of the sport.

Hopefully we've seen the last of Aaron Rogers

He’s been truly great throughout his hall of fame career, but he should have retired a year or two ago. He showed his age tonight, embarrassed by the youthful Houston Texans as what might have been the last pass of his career gets intercepted for a pick-six. He just can’t run with the big dogs no more.

I also think the Steelers need to replace Mike Tomlin if they ever hope to breakout of the mediocrity of hanging on to old players and coaches that are well past their prime. Pittsburgh was gassed in the fourth quarter as Houston made it look easy. They new blood, and that can only happen when management decides to end Mike Tomlin’s tenure. The only thing he can hang his hat on is that he’s had so many consecutive ‘winning seasons’ if you count one game above .500 so many times a winning record.

Pete Carrol should call it a career after Raiders fire him

He’s one of the great coaches of our time, winning both the Super Bowl and the NCAA national championship.
But everyone gets old, and Father Time has caught up with Pete.
Thanks for all the great teams, Pete. Now please enjoy your retirement.

Steelers vs Ravens - Mediocrity on display

Whoever wins this mediocre game doesn’t stand a chance to win the first playoff game.
Both coaches should be replaced next season or their team win be destined to another mediocre season.

Miami stuns Ohio State!

What a game! I love it when Ohio State losses a game, which isn’t often. Nothing personal against Buckeye fans, but it’s a great night for OSU haters like myself.

Here's what you missed at Turning Point's chaotic convention

When Turning Point USA's annual AmericaFest convention reached its halfway point, Erika Kirk tried to put a smiling face on things.

“Say what you want about AmFest, but it’s definitely not boring,” said Kirk, who has led the influential conservative organization since her husband Charlie was assassinated in September. “Feels like a Thanksgiving dinner where your family’s hashing out the family business.”

That's one way to put it.

Some of the biggest names in conservative media took turns torching each other on the main stage, spending more time targeting right-wing rivals than their left-wing opponents. The feuds could ultimately define the boundaries of the Republican Party and determine the future of President Donald Trump's fractious coalition, which appears primed for more schisms in the months and years ahead.

Ben Shapiro, co-founder of the conservative media outlet Daily Wire, set the tone with the first speech after Erika Kirk opened the convention. He attacked fellow commentators in deeply personal terms, saying some of the right's most popular figures are morally bankrupt.

Candace Owens “has been vomiting all sorts of hideous and conspiratorial nonsense into the public square for years,” he said.

Megyn Kelly is “guilty of cowardice" because she's refused to condemn Owens for spreading unsubstantiated theories about Kirk's death.

And Tucker Carlson's decision to host antisemite Nick Fuentes on his podcast was “an act of moral imbecility.”

Barely an hour later, Carlson took the same stage and mocked Shapiro’s attempt to “deplatform and denounce” people who disagree with him.

“I watched it,” he said. “I laughed.”

Miami vs A&M - What a game

One of the greatest playoff games I’ve ever watched. Totally exciting despite the low scoring. Following Bama’s incredible comeback win last night, this playoff line-up is so far delivering the goods.

Virginia Democrats are the next surprising entrant into the redistricting battle

Virginia Democrats are poised to enter the nationwide redistricting battle, according to three Democrats familiar with the plans, taking on an effort to redraw the state’s congressional lines just days before closely watched elections in the state.

“We are opening up the process reluctantly because of this aggressive midterm redistricting by Republicans in response to Trump across the country,” said one Virginia Democrat familiar with the plans.

Shiny. Happy. People. A Teenage Holy War.

If you want to know how Charlie Kirk’s people think, and how they got that way, this three-part series tells it all.
