Head coaching vacancies are filling up rapidly. Here is a summary to date:

1. New England Patriots: Jerod Mayo - former Pats player and assistant coach under Bill Belichick
2, Carolina Panthers: Dave Canales - OC at Tampa Bay
3. Tennessee Titans: Brian Callahan - Bengals OC and son of Bill, former HC at Raiders
4. LA Chargers: Jim Harbaugh - Michigan HC
5. LV Raiders: Antonio Pierce - Interim HC
6. Atlanta Falcons: Raheem Morris - Rams DC and former interim HC with same Falcons

Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks are the only vacancies left. Lions OC Ben Johnson is rumoured to be going to Washington while Ravens DC Mike McDonald is said to be going to Seattle. But these two cannot make a move while their teams are still playing. Bill Belichick interviewed twice with the Falcons but he was passed over. His poor record without Brady seems to have dimmed his prospects. He should just retire.

There was a time when blacks were systematically passed over for HC jobs. But the exceptional job done by rookie HC Demeco Ryans at Houston and continued excellence of Mike Tomlin at Pittsburgh and Todd Bowles at Tampa seems to have paved the way for 3 more black head coaches in this cycle.

Conference Championship Predictions:

The 49ers were lucky to escape with a win over the GB Packers. The injury to Deebo Samuels during the course of the game seems to have deflated the team. And with Deebo still ailing, they will not be so lucky against the plucky Lions. 49ers out.

As great as the Ravens have been so far, they have not faced anyone like Patrick Mahomes, a certified big game winner. Lamar Jackson is another Josh Allen. Choker. Chiefs win with Taylor Swift continuing her charm

The problems with the Buffalo Bills is two-fold.

First, they play their home games in an un-renovated open stadium where the winds swirl where they like. Neither fans nor football teams are protected from it's cruelties. For place kickers Orchard Park is a nightmare, how many wide right kicks have we seen.

Second,, since he was drafted in 2018, JOsh Allen hasn't gotten an A-list receiver to work with. Mostly he's been doing it on his own. When Mahomes won his first Super Bowl he had Tyreek Hill, Demarcus Robinson and Travis Kelce as his receiving corp.

Josh Allen "can't find a way" with his current receiving corp.

How is this a problem? Their opponent is playing in the exact same conditions. If anything, Buffalo should have a team built or conditioned for this environment and have a distinct advantage over visiting teams.

The greatest mystery in Baltimore yesterday did not happen during the course of the match. It happened after the match. Which was how did Taylor Swift's lipstick remain intact even after she smothered Travis Kelce with kisses? Social media is frantically trying to decipher the secret. As for the match, Lamar Jackson throwing into triple coverage for an interception was true to form as a choker. Patrick Mahomes to Travis Swift Kelce for unbelievable plays was also true to form.

The 49ers was gifted a win in the bone headed form of Lions HC Dan Campbell. Goes for it 4th and 2 at 49ers 28. Goes again 4 and 3 at 49ers 30. Both failed. But even if they had converted, there was no guarantee they would have gone on to score touchdowns. The rational thing was to attempt field goals. But Dan Campbell thinks he is smarter and tougher than any coach. What a buffoon.

So now the Taylor Swift Super Bowl is upon us. The NFL is going to milk her participation for every last drop. The fist bumps she exchanged with Tony Romo on the field even after he had "mistakenly" called her wife of Travis Kelce twice during earlier broadcasts are already plastered all over social media. And those kisses and smoochies with Travis Kelce have Swifties floating in heaven. They are calling Travis Kelce THE END GAME :D

Who wins the Vince Lombardi trophy? Analysis much later.

Lamar Jackson has physical talent to spare, but when it comes to calling games he's not Joe Montana.

49ers QB Brock Purdy is one of the most amazing phenomenons in sports history. He was selected with the very last 262nd pick during the 2022 NFL draft in what is known as Mr. Irrevelant. Someone who is picked almost as a joke because he is thought would amount to nothing. Yet, here he is In the Super Bowl in just his second season as a starter. And he showed yesterday he hasnt succeeded because he plays in the so-called system of HC Kyle Shanahan. He has succeeded because he is an exceptional talent in the mold of Joe Montana and Tom Brady. Not physically and athetically gifted but blessed with smarts beyond his years. And he even made plays with his legs in the mold of Patrick Mahomes. Not enough has been written and said about this amazing talent. But that should change during the build up to the Super Bowl. Do you know his nickname now? Mr. Relevant. Brock Purdy 👏👏👏

Didn't get a chance to watch this game. Had to do physio if I want to keep walking, wont cancel it for anything. Brock Purdy has such a nerdish name you might as well call him Les Nessman. He may be as smart as Joe Montana.

This is the first time I'm seeing this.

Greg Olsen has supplanted Tony Romo as the number one NFL analyst. He is on the number one Fox team. He is constantly offering insights that used to be the forte of Tono Romo, who has been reduced lately to hyperbolics like "unbelievable." But Olsen's gig could come to an abrupt end. Reason? Fox has signed Tom Brady to a 10-year, $375 million contract to be their number one NFL analyst bumping Olsen to the number 2 spot. No one knows if Tom Brady would be as good an analyst as he was a player. But Olsen will surely be missed when he is bumped.

Brock Purdy: "I have never been the biggest, fastest, strongest. Any of that. I have always had to fight for whatever I get." Words of a hero 👏
