NFL 2021 season - Belichick Strikes Back

^^ Exactly.

Lovie will last two seasons tops and then it will be either McCown or some other white candidate. And the team won't be any better off.
 
The Washington Commanders hired an "independent" firm to investigate the accusations against Dan Snyder. Apparently the NFL didn't think this was legitimate and will be doing their own investigation.
 
I guarantee Smith is one and done. They didn't want Smith, they wanted Josh McCown (they didn't even interview Smith until the Flores lawsuit), someone with no coaching experience at the NFL level. But that hire wouldn't look remotely good with so many qualified minority candidates out there, so the NFL leaned on the Texans to take one for the team.

Pretty much. Smith isn't a young man (I think he'll be 64 this year?), and his post-Chicago run as a head coach hasn't exactly set the world on fire, nor did his defense in Houston (and even in Chicago, his failure to move on from the Tampa 2 defense that the rest of the league had figured out years before was his undoing, along with his loyalty to his assistants who had clearly shown they were unqualified, like Mel Tucker, Bob Babich, Ron Turner and Mike Martz). This was absolutely a pressure decision caused by heat from the NFL, which wants to prove to the world, "Hey, we aren't racist! Really!" So the Texans will let Lovie have a year coaching the team during what is patently obviously a rebuilding year while they try to figure out what in the world to do with Deshaun Watson. They'll hire McCown as the quarterbacks coach or an offensive assistant or something, Lovie will gracefully retire at the end of the season, thanking the Texans for giving him a chance to end his career in his home state, and then they'll promote McCown.
 
After having followed the Texans for the last 20 years, I can assure you that if it's the wrong thing to do, the Texans will end up doing it. LOL

I was about to accuse you of being a time traveler, and then I looked it up and realized the Texans have been around since 1999 and began play in 2002, which was my senior year of high school / freshman year of college. Jesus.

I was in high school in the late 60s. I've been watching the Oilers/Texans football horror show for a long time now. Not sure why though. LOL

Why would religious people show up on Super Bowl Sunday? I’m usually not rude, I’ll let them say their piece, but today told them I’m not interested and closed the door. :lol:
 
Props to whoever manages Burrow's Twitter account! I have been following it myself lately, and these themed posts are a mischievous bit of fun and quite great.

Joe's last pre-battle "letter" to his father.

Father—
‘Tis my last letter before the climactic battle they call #SuperBowl . I’m sure you’ve read the papers. It’s amazing how little they still seem to know about this unit. They’re gonna learn today. We’re coming for it all; we’re gonna #ruleitall. THIS IS OUR DEY!!!

So, it will be interesting to see if the Simpson’s prediction (Bengals over Rams 34-31) will come true. I bet the bookies out there are seeing that pattern and trashing the odds on all the sports book apps after scratching their heads and asking, “what the fuck is going on with this?”
