What it do Rod, Karen and the Green Jay Packers,
I hope all is well.
That young man Caleb Williams was in the air looking like the Jumpman logo *and* completed that pass *on 4th down*! In a game where the Bears were down 21-3, they went into the 4th quarter like parent that got a call from school you were acting up: belt to ass was a-coming! Bears receiving corps are awesome; Caleb Williams maturation and improvement to now from last season has been delightful to see; the offensive line is way better and clearly have better synergy with Caleb; Big Brain Ben was out here wylin with the 4th down attempts but I fucks with it cuz we been known he’s crazy? Next up are the Rams. No idea how it will go but I hope it’s as fun as the wild card game! Blowing a 21-3 lead in the playoffs is some nasty work, by the way. Jordan Love didn’t even throw a pick and the Packers still lost!
Speaking of going out sad…the Texans defense was on Throw Rogan’s bumper the *entire* game and it cinematic watching that coward get fried over and over again! The broadcast showing an image of DeMeco Collins sacking Aaron Rodgers back when *he* played for the Texans and that he’s a year younger than Rodgers? Hoping for your opps downfall and then watching it in 4K is enriching for the soul.
Despite cackling like an anime antagonist as the Steelers were getting banished to the shadow realm, it’ll be weird not seeing Mike Tomlin on that sideline anymore. Tomlin definitely never got enough credit for managing that roster of head cases (Big Bad Built Ben, Antonio Brown, James Harrison, etc). I know them ungrateful fucking Yinzers wanted to fire Tomlin for * years*, acting they couldn’t look 3 hours west to see what real struggle was. I’m glad Tomlin got to resign (of course the Rooney’s would be classy about this) and I hope he enjoys whatever he does next.
I hope y’all have a wonderful weekend and thanks as always for dope shows!
Peace,
Dough
Y’all boy Eric Collins was going through it last week, wasn’t he? On the call for those back-to-back buzzer-beating losses, then he had to go call the game on Amazon Prime, so he missed when the Hornets put BTA on the Jazz, and then he came back in time to watch the Hornets get stomped out by the Clippers… That’s rough, buddy.
Hi Rod, Karen, and Jephen. A. Smith,
Charlie Kirk?!? WTF. This guy is out of control. And they gonna come after Lynn Jones for cap-J Journalism?
Congrats to your Panthers on a great season and much to look forward to. It took a 70-yard MVP performance at the end from that old gunslinger Stafford to beat you all. And omg…. Caleb Williams is That Guy! That Mahomesian throw across his body while falling…damn! He is must-watch TV. And good for Caleb for checking Lil Wayne – hope he typed that tweet out with his purple fingernails.
The end of an Era — Mike Tomlin steps down. I am glad he was able to do it on his own terms, got to say goodbye to the players, and will still get paid. I think more than the Super Bowl win and never having a losing season, his lasting legacy is the Rooney Rule. Whether it actually works or not, it makes organizations have to address it. Anyway, hope Tomlin takes a year off and ends up at Fox Sports which is down the street – I would die if I ran into coach at the mall.
Sorry for the sports-heavy comment, but I didn’t see much crime or mess happening this week. Thanks for the great shows!

Hey Rod, Karen & Justin Herbert.
Can I call him one? Is it all right if I call him one?
Ok, I ain’t calling that man a bitch, but man, if these egg head mofos stop coddling Herbert like he’s inoffensive Calvin Candy.
Yes, his OLs been bad all year (they were surprisingly fine against NE on Sunday) & he’s playing with a bad hand. Ok, fair. Here’s the damn problem? You’re defense gave you the ball in the end zone to potentially control the tempo against the Patriots & you sail a pass away & go 4 & out in the red zone on your second possession. Pats’s had a C-grade performance on offense & you had chance after chance after & there was no attempt at a comeback.
I was told by every single Herbert defender from Twitter, Blue Sky, podcasts, ESPN, that he’s that dude & was going to give KC some competition & in fairness, 2021 was looking a bit suspect for the Chiefs, especially after they had that uneven performance in a WK 2 loss to Herbert’s Chargers but Pats been to five SBs (won three), Josh Allen’s one of the best QBs in the playoffs, Lamar has his accolades (though does underwhelm under the bright lights) & Jalen Hurts is a champion. What’s Herbert’s excuse? This man has Jim Harbaugh as his head coach (he deserves some blame for that loss, too) & you can’t engineer a single PO drive? Man, fry this clown.
Carolina Panthers? So, so proud of y’all. Didn’t see that one coming, especially having lost 3 of the last five (wins came to the LA Rams & TB Bucs, both at home) & to nearly eliminate these Rams from playoff contention. Bryce after a bad pick got the ship righted but Coker & Tetratoira were showing out. We lost, but if this the Bryce we’re getting going forward, I love it. Panthers do need to work on some things going forward, but that was an encouraging result, all things considered.
Big Dick Josh Allen was cookin’! Played great. Got a tough one against Denver, but that was a fun game (JAC-BUF).
All the games, with the exception of the last two Sunday games (thanks for nothing, Philly & Chargers) were thrillers.
And again with feeling (and the voice of Clarence Williams III): Damn you, Justin Herbert. Damn you to hell!
Also forgot, damn you to hell, Packers. God damn, what a choke job! Whew, now I’m done.
That was an amazing game for the Panther, meanwhile my Bucs heard about your coaching segment and decided to give you all the content you could handle…
On the Browns thing – empirically, Gabriel is the better QB. He performed better against better teams than Sanders… that being said, Football is about selling tickets. And Sanders is going to sell you more tickets. Personally, I’m a fan of competence and skill, so I would prefer to watch Gabriel play, but Sanders is a fan favorite. Hopefully they’re willing to trade Gabriel to the Bucs because we have a QB who holds on to the ball too long and doesn’t slide when he runs, suggesting that we are going to need a decent backup QB…
Salutations to the BEST Sports trio, I got an “oh they fighting ” report but enemies conspired to stop the Paravai-Kaaran. Can you imagine watching a world title boxing fight, feeling like a knockout is about to happen in the main card and the crowd is getting louder, and louder then next thing a section of the crowd a little closer to the ring than my time-traveling crew starts getting louder than the arena? Goddaaaaaaaaam, about 40 seconds after the ruckus, a TKO. I had my phone in my hand and was swinging between the crowd and the ring. They set me up, I could have been Balls Deep Famous smh. I was right there ahhhhhh
