Football season is here!!!

[sensei8]

I know it’s not of any consequence nor a possibility but why don’t the Raiders entertain, even if just for a second, ask Tom Brady to return to the NFL gridiron to QB for 1 season for the Silver and Black?!? After all, Tom has an interest to see the Raiders get out of the gutter. Unless there’s some NFL rulings that would prohibit that.

I imagine there are rules against that.  Buying an interest in a team so one can play for it is an interesting way of circumventing the free-agent system, and probably the salary cap, which would be frowned upon I think.

Are you calling for Tom Brady to pull a Phillip Rivers??

Well…YEAH!! Why not!!

My bubble just got burst!!

The NFL will not allow Brady to return to the gridiron for one simple reason: his role as a minority owner of the Raiders. NFL created a rule back in 2023 that prohibits non-family employees of an owner from holding equity in a team. Brady of he QB’d for the Raiders would be an employee; a conflict of interest.

Well…darn it.

Black Monday bleeds into Tuesday as the Ravens have fired head coach John Harbaugh after 18 seasons.  That missed FG at the end of the game on Sunday cost him his job, and might have saved Mike Tomlin's, as there were chants of "fire Tomlin" from Steelers fans several weeks ago.  

While I did not expect this at the same time it is not surprising.  The Ravens have not been able to get over the hump for a while, continuing to come up short in the biggest games against the best teams. Two Sunday night losses in the last three weeks, one to the Steelers and one to the Patriots, sunk Harbaugh's future with the Ravens. 

Now seven teams are looking to hire a head coach for next season: Giants, Titans, Raiders, Browns, Cardinals, Falcons, and Ravens.

Mike McDaniel will be coming back for the Dolphins, but the team is looking for a new GM since Chris Grier was fired back in October.  Miami was 2-7 but finished strong, securing McDaniel another chance next season.  The Falcons are another team looking for a GM. 

Lions have fired OC John Morton, and Cowboys have fired DC Matt Eberflus. The Jes, Giants, and Commanders have all fired their DC as well.

Once again…NFL HC jobs are like a tight rope walker’s career…NFL/Not For Long.
