Post AFC/NFC Reactions and Dolphins Update
Let’s all look at the positive side This is not the Monday I was expecting. If you look online or watch any sports channels, you would see many others agree. How about those AFC/NFC Championship games?! First off, both ended in overtime and both had horrific calls (and missed ones) by supposedly the top (elite) NFL refs. They were good games, but it would have been better if the outcomes were based solely on the better team winning and not questionable, reversed, and/or blatant missed penalties by the refs. With that being said, the LA Rams and the New England Patriots will meet in two...

‘Zero point zero’ percent chance Brian Flores backs out of Dolphins head coach position
During the 2018 offseason, the Indianapolis Colts announced Josh McDaniels as their next head coach. They scheduled their introductory press conference for McDaniels and everything seemed set.

The McDaniels reversal was similar to New England’s head coach Bill Belichick’s surprise resignation from the New York Jets...
