Yeah something not right, Rodgers not playing as well as normal, even though statistically it looks good

Probably a few weeks to late for the Packers to fire him but it was inevitable.

Definitely not all his fault, I'd imagine he'll finish with the Browns as HC for next season.
Garbage roster...

Looking forward to the Boston Globe podcast series on Aaron Hernandez. Done by the Spotlight team so should be great. One of them was on Second Captains about it today and it sounds great.

It was excellent. A real insight into the development process in the sport. He was a troubled young man. It also looks a bit at the effects of CTE. Brilliant podcast.

Urban Meyer will be resigning from OSU after the Rose Bowl

Not really a surprise, given his health issues (brain cyst?) as well as that chaos at the start of the season.

He should have been fired after the scandal broke but OSU is as morally bankrupt as Meyer. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The Hernandez podcast series was good as a human interest story in that it put his whole life in context but it really didn't tell us anything we didn't already know about college or professional football. It did confirm Meyer and Belichick are tosspots, though.

I'd never heard his high school quarterback talking about them having a sexual relationship together. Had you?

That's why I said the human interest element was good. It was known before now he was gay, though.

He wasn't gay. He was bi it seems. I really don't know what you wanted OSU to do about Meyer though? There was no clear evidence.
