Bill Belichick has a hilarious reaction to the rookie trying to give him the playing ball

1. Bill Belichick is giving us another vintage training performance this season, making the Patriots 3-3 despite playing little-known Billy Zappy for the quarterback the past few weeks. But we are not here to focus on training Belichick. He’s the greatest NFL coach of all time and there’s no need to say anything else about that. We’re here to focus on another hilarious, unintended moment the 70-year-old made. Here’s the scene: Sunday, the Patriots lead 24-15 with less than five minutes to go and meet the Browns. Cleveland ignores the…

Al Michel has become the main focus of ‘Thursday Night Football’ once again

1. The Leaders and Bears somehow managed to score fewer points (19) on Thursday night than the Colts and Broncos did a week ago (21). We told you last week that one thing that made Indianapolis’ 12-9 win over Denver somewhat impressive was the man-of-the-play performance by Al Michaels, who didn’t shy away from letting viewers know the game was a hog. Unfortunately for Michaels, his partner Kirk Herbstreet, Amazon Prime Video, NFL fans, the league and anyone else connected to football, Washington and Chicago gave us another hog last…

Dan Le Batard talks about why he had to leave ESPN, the ups and downs with the company

1. When it was announced in late 2020 that popular radio host Dan Le Batard and ESPN were parting ways, it wasn’t a complete shocker, but it still is. There were feuds along the way, with ESPN angered by Le Batard for speaking out about politics, and Le Batard angered by ESPN for releasing show producer Chris Cote (whom Le Batard returned and paid out of his own pocket). But the Le Batard show was so popular and in a day and age when the sports media was all about…

Showing ‘House of Dragon’ during the Guardians-Yankees match was very embarrassing

1. One of the big reasons networks broadcast live sports is that they can use the platform to push their other shows that no one cares about. Who can forget all the years Fox used to stuff their little-watched superstars on the ball courts and then show them on camera during the game and have Joe Buck all act excited that a D-list celebrity actually attended an MLB playoff. Over the years, promotions for other shows have become more complex and high-tech. The networks have done their best to blur…

A rough call of passers-by against the leaders of the multinational force leads to a lot of repercussions

1. So far, I watched the silly by-pass call on Chiefs boss Chris Jones late in the second quarter of Kansas City’s 30-29 win over Las Vegas on Monday night. There is a lot more here, so let me go to the points. • The people who associate what happened to Tua Tagovailoa with the rulers being more sensitive about making rough calls by passersby are ignorant. One has nothing to do with the other. Tua could not stand alone. Then play again. a period. end of story. What happened…

Justin Tucker presents Ravens Kicker’s must-have post-match interview

1. It’s fun when a post-game interview isn’t the typical cookie-cutter, “we believed in ourselves and we did” bullshit. The sport is supposed to be fun, so more players should try to have more fun with post-game encounters, just as kicking Ravens player Justin Tucker did on Sunday night. Before we get to the interview, we need to point out that Tucker gave us a great moment during the game when he reacted to scoring a field goal from 58 yards in the third quarter. Tucker gave Baltimore a 19-17…

1. When several prominent NFL broadcasters acquired monster contracts last season (Tony Romo fired her for an additional monster contract in 2020), a debate began about the importance and value of the game’s broadcasters. CBS’ Greg Gumble made headlines in March when he appeared on SI Media Podcast He said, “What tickles my thought process is, I’ve never in my entire life felt like there was an announcer who could bring someone into the television set to watch a game that viewer wouldn’t actually be watching. And I think the…
