Coaching jobs that will probably be open Chicago - Nagy will probably be out as early as next week. Jim Harbaugh will get mentioned, but he'll stay at Michigan Minnesota - Zimmer has gotten stale. Jacksonville - Already open. Byron Leftwich and Jim Caldwell are top candidates Las Vegas - If they make the playoffs and win a game, they might stick with Rich Risaccia. If they change it's impossible to predict what they'll do, they're the Raiders. It'll be a coach who will get along with Aaron Rodgers Seattle - I think they let Pete Carroll retire rather than consider it a firing. Total reset coming. Russ might replace Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. Houston - Can't blame their coach for how bad they are, but they'll make a change. Maybe former Lions preseason QB of the future Kellen Moore? Denver - Vic Fangio needed to have a better year. Elway can't seem to find a QB. Eric Bieniemy would fit here. Pittsburgh - I see the Steelers possibly doing a total reset. They should have told Ben to stay home 4 years ago, it's hurt their team. If Tomlin does get fired I think he could get hired by another team right away. Chicago and the NY Giants are a good fit. Giants say they are sticking with Joe Judge, but if someone better comes along, they'll do it. Carolina - I don't know if Matt Rhule gets fired this year. They might give him one more year, but he'd have to make the playoffs.

Went to see a movie and of course there was about 15 trailers and it seemed like more than half of them were just re-done movies like Matrix, SpiderMan, The Batman..................how many times are the same stories gonna be re-told? Can you imagine the Godfather (1972) be re-made again in 1990 and then in 2002 and then in 2020.......... How many different version of the Batman and Joker are there now?

What am I gonna do the next time I fall off something? Oh, I am way overdue.

At least Morticia has sunglasses on.

Well, here we are in the 4th quarter of the playoff game and with 7 minutes and 44 seconds left Cincinnati is leading Alabama 27 to 13 and there is a delay in the game, we are not sure why. Wait, what's this? Apparently some new testing has shown the entire Cincinnati team has COViD and will not be allowed to finish the game. Oh, wow, what a stunning development. Alabama is declared the winner by forfeit and since the Michigan-Georgia game had to be cancelled, Alabama is the National Champion. Wow, what a great job by Nick Saban.

We are not dealing with this until April 8, 2024.

I just read an article online (which means it must be true) that the reason the Omicron strain is spreading so fast is that it is spread by sight.........SIGHT...............If you lock eyes with someone with Omicron you will get it too. Boy, if I wasn't vaccinated, I'd pour a bunch of bleach in my eyes..............

I have never lived in Texas or either Dakota. Its radio...........Town-To-Town, Up and Down the Dial. I lived in Albuquerque for exactly one year. Arrived there March 26, 1996 and left March 25, 1997. I was driving in Missouri moving back here listening to the Wings-Avs game on WJR when the Bloody Revenge game happened. AM skip rules. Stopped for the night in Illinois to watch the ESPN replay of the game but fell asleep before that part of the game happened. Thought I'd never see it, but EVERYONE taped it. I once drove to Canada to drop off a tape/resume at 89X. Got stopped by the guards on the entry back to the U.S. because I had New Mexico plates (DRUG RUNNER !!!!!). Wound up talking to the customs lady for an hour about growing up in Detroit and the Boblo Boat and Edgewater Park and the Swimmobiles, she figured out I was a local. 1987-88 Athens, Georgia. School, college radio, all the bands came to the station, wearing shorts in January. walked everywhere. great shape back then. 1989-90 Naples, Florida. Worked for a small non-commercial Top 40 station. Bad fit. Not a Top 40 guy. I hated Bobby Brown music and they played a ton of Bobby Brown music. Too much Stevie B too. Just awful. Had a good tan, though, and lived near an orange juice plant, so it smelled amazing. 1990-92 Back Home. Worked a job where I listened to tapes of radio stations from all over the country, the recorders would record 8 seconds skims every 2:20 seconds and we had to identify the songs. I played Name That Tune for a living (most stations play the same shit). 1992 Minneapolis (for 9 days - owner flipped the format and fired everyone, he knew he was doing this when okay'd hiring me - dickhead.) When I first interviewed for that job it was early March and the high temp that day was going to be 11 below zero. I thought "maybe this isn't for me". They hired me May 13th. Fired me and flipped the station on the Friday before Memorial Day, the day after I signed my apartment lease, the landlord was very nice about letting me out of it, he was a nice guy. 1992 Stayed in a cheap motel for a week in Oxford, Ohio not knowing if I was going to work there for 97X (BAM!, The Future of Rock & Roll), move back home to Detroit with no prospects or follow the guy that hired me in Minneapolis (he didn't know the station was about to flip) to Augusta, Georgia. Then lived in metro Atlanta for six weeks at the house of one of my ex-Athens roommates while we waited for the Augusta station to sign on. I was like the Seattle Pilots in 1970, team trucks sitting in Provo, Utah not knowing whether to go to Seattle, Milwaukee or Devner....48 hours before Opening Day. 1993-94 Augusta, Georgia. Station owner was bi-polar, narcissist, wound up as James Brown's manager) Plus Alternative Rock in the Bible belt - not a great fit. We played Dear God by XTC once............once. 1994 Chapel Hill, North Carolina - Alternative station in a college town. Nobody tried it there. It was blowing up very quickly and it looked like finally I found my perfect spot, but.....station owner (nice guy), was way behind on his taxes. Station put into receivership and his religious nutjob son took over. He wasn't gonna go for that heathen new wave and grunge music, flipped it religious talk, it went dark in 3 months, yes an FM radio station actually went dark for almost a year). 1994-96 East Lansing (small station, alternative rock at it's peak. we just irritated all the other stations who were 10 years behind the times and got decent ratings. made no money, but had fun). 1996-97 Albuquerque, New Mexico Another alternative station was doing awesome, owner was great, but Clear Channel came in and offered him so much more than it was worth (about 5x it's value) that he had to sell it, can't blame him. They ruined the station. Every single decision they made was the opposite of what it needed to be, but that's Clear Channel for ya. 1997 - 2021 Back to Metro Detroit. Worked for 2 stations owned by ABC/DIsney. Almost fired for responding to the CEOs email about the 2002 Angels world series win (Disney owned them then). I asked if I could get a t-shirt. That's what almost got me fired. Nice company, eh? First GM was a totally nice man who prevented me from being fired over the dastardly deed of asking for a t-shirt. They replaced him in 2003 with a total dick from DC who treated everyone like garbage, so I bolted in 2004 for Ann Arbor. Still work at the Ann Arbor station. 17 years now. Longest job ever.

Dave really slapped him on one take...........LOL

I lived in New Mexico for a year. My plate was just yellow with red lettering and the red sun logo in the middle (from the state flag). Boooorrring. Still better than Michigan's boring base plate The whole year I lived there I never found myself Enchanted.

What did the five fangers say to the face?

I think he wants a yearly salary between Lindor and Max Scherzer. So somewhere between $35 mil and $40 mil. And he'll also want 10 years. I don't know who will give that to him. Astros won't commit to that time. Seems like the Yankees don't want to make that kind of commitment (they have SS in their system anyway). I guess that would put the Dodgers at the top of the list, but they may finally commit to Gavin Lux full time with Trea Turner at SS. I know the Mariners want to make a big splash, but they might still remember getting burned by the Cano deal. I'm going to stick to my original prediction that he signs with the Angels. Yeah, they need pitching, but the big pitchers aren't there and they spend foolishly. Angels. 10 years, 360 million. Maybe he signs an insane 1 year deal somewhere.

You don't always have to draft one. There are some backups that could be ready to be a starter somewhere. Huntley in Baltimore looked pretty good.......we need to see more of him.

Really enjoying Ben Rapelisberger get embarrassed almost every week now.

Goff has played really well the last few weeks (I won't count the Denver game, the whole team was a mess with flu/COVID). I think part of it is that he connects with Campbell running the offense, using play action much more and he has a familiar receiver with Josh Reynolds and completely trusts St. Brown now. Goff looks much more comfortable than he did the first 6-8 weeks.

I want Hutchinson more than Thibodeaux. Maybe that's just Michigan bias, but I watched Oregon and Michigan and Hutchinson played his best in the biggest moments. I did not see Thibodeaux doing that. They say he was hurt, but did they say that to excuse lackluster play? Without Thibodeaux Oregon has their biggest win. For Michigan if they didn't have Hutch, they probably don't win their division.

Good loss. I wish we were getting the Seattle vs. Bears game because of all the snow.

Draft Pick Protecting pass by Tim Boyle. Well done !

Atlanta gives the Lions a time out....................Wow.

Opportunity knocks.................

Go for it here. Why the hell not?

I don't know if I will ever get used to defensive players wearing single digits.

Josh Reynolds is a pimp. He could never have outfought Santino.

Lions need to re-sign Charles Harris Craig Reynolds Riley Patterson By the way. Cut the cord on Chrome. Firefox is much much faster. Not just as a browser but my whole computer is faster.

Well done Taylor Decker. Playing like a rookie for over 5 years now.
