  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.

  • New Orleans Saints Vs Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, Nov. 18, 2018 Mercedes-Benz Superdome Saints Postgame Notes
    NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS PHILADELPHIA EAGLES SUNDAY, NOV. 18, 2018 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME SAINTS POSTGAME NOTES With the win, New Orleans Saints start the regular season 9-1, giving them their fourth-such win streak. The club had nine game winning streaks in 1987, 1990-91 and a 13-game winning streak to start the season in 2009. The Saints return to action on Thursday in Mercedes-Benz Superdome when they face the Atlanta Falcons. The game will be nationally televised on NBC at 7:20 p.m. CT. Today’s win gave the Saints a 9-1 record through the first ten games, equaling a 9-1 start in 1991. The only better starts for the club would be their 13-0 start in 2009. With today’s win the Saints recorded their 13th winning season in franchise history with seven having taken place under Head Coach Sean Payton. With the Saints win today, Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson became the 60th head coach Payton has defeated in 13 seasons and the 50th coach he has at least a .500 record against. The Saints currently have a streak of 266 regular season games without having been shut out, dating back to a 26-20 win at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 8, 2002 at Raymond James Stadium, the longest running streak in the NFL and the fifth-longest all-time. The New Orleans defense held the Eagles offense to only 15 total net yards through their first three possessions. Today’s game marked the first time the Saints have scored at least 45 points in three consecutive games.
