NFL head coach hot seat rankings: Mike McCarthy, Matt Rhule on notice ahead of Week 1 (msn.com)
The author is speculating outside the top two.
Though this is clickbait material, it’s still worth reading.
The Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers head coaches, McCarthy and Rhule, have a lot on the line. That’s undeniable.
Giants Hired Brian Daboll For Offensive Prowess, But He Won’t Call Plays (outkick.com)
A head coach needs to be a head coach. Head coaches call plays because of their egos.
The majority fail, and even those who do succeed fail through burnout.
Sportswriters seeing this as shocking shows their ignorance of the game and history. Daboll should be the coach and report on real issues.
Albert Pujols, Aaron Judge, playoff races among top MLB stories (Sports Illustrated)
Even though baseball is winding down and football is starting, there are still races to watch.
MLB’s ratings and attention once September hits are shockingly low compared to the past.
It is, however, a slow, boring sport for most these days.
Browns coach gets blunt about Baker Mayfield (thecomeback.com)
A former player facing his old team can be both good and bad. Positively, if Baker can read defensive players’ “tells,” the moves that reveal what he’s going to do, like blitz, man-to-man, drop back, etc. That’s a difference maker.
Until we see them face off, we won’t know. That match-up will be intense, considering Mayfield’s hatred for his former team.

20-Year-Old Hockey Captain Drops Dead During Game (The Daily Caller)
Those stories make us think. A COVID-19 shot isn’t the cause of every death.
There is a growing number of young people dying. It’s more than we’ve seen before.
Investigations are needed especially, since doctors who predicted this were censored.
Exclusive: Nicolas Cage In Talks to Return as Ghost Rider in Secret Wars (giantfreakinrobot.com)
As the Ghost Rider, Cage was solid, but the storyline could’ve been better. Most Marvel movies are cartoony and non-realistic, but he brought realism to the role.
Ghost Rider’s darker, somber look brought a human element missing from Marvel movies. It would be awesome to see him back.
Duke Volleyball Player’s Godmother Shows Troubling Past with Racist Remarks (OutKick)
Racist volleyball player seeking fame or grandmothers using their family for political gain?
Both are likely, but odds are it’s a grandmother convincing her granddaughter. The granddaughter is looking to impress her because she’s running for office.
The truth will come out soon enough, but there are too many racial hoaxes and no accountability when prosecuting them under hate laws. It generates and creates emotional hatred among black Americans.
Democrats and race-hustlers want it.
Yet Howard Stern’s wife left him. Irony overload.
Stern is an old, scared, white elitist hiding in a basement. Basically, a caricature of himself.
He genuinely wishes death on anyone he disagrees with on COVID-19.
It shows the power of creating a false narrative by the mainstream media, tech giants, politicians, and entertainment.
Mad Max: Fury Road Sequel With Tom Hardy And Charlize Theron In Development (giantfreakinrobot.com)
Charlize Theron tried to destroy Tom Hardy’s career with some serious allegations. Don’t assume this flick is a go yet, as that bridge has to be crossed.
Hardy is still receiving leading roles, whereas Theron’s leading lady days are winding down, so she might want to do this versus Hardy. We’ll see.
Nevertheless, Mel Gibson’s Mad Max would outperform anything else.
