Good morning, all! I hope your Tuesday is a good one!
Do not dismiss the Kansas City Chiefs, following their convincing victory over the Detroit Lions on SNF. Here are some other topics I discuss in the above video:
-Picks for Kicks a disaster
-Belichick makes a statement about his future
-Mike Shildt is burned out
Here are some other thoughts on this sports Tuesday:
If you had the Tennessee Titans being the first NFL team to fire a head coach you win. After 23 games at the helm, where he compiled a 4-19 record, Brian Callahan was given the heave-ho on Monday. Tell the truth. How many of you knew Brian Callahan was the head coach of the Titans? By the way, his successor, of course, on an interim basis is Mike McCoy, the team’s senior offensive assistant. McCoy once was head coach of the Chargers, when they were based in San Diego.
Lions DB Brian Branch says he is sorry, after striking Chiefs wideout Juju Smith-Schuster, after the Chiefs convincing win over the Lions on SNF. He should be remorseful. There is no place for such conduct in sports and his head coach Dan Campbell was the first to call him out on it. Now the NFL has stepped in and suspended him for one game. In case you missed it, here is the postgame scuffle started by Branch:
Is it my imagination or does Josh Naylor always seem to be in the middle of something good? Last year, he was trying to elevate the Cleveland Guardians over the New York Yankees, and if it wasn’t for Juan Soto, he might have done it. This season, donning the Seattle Mariners uniform, he is reeking havoc on the Toronto Blue Jays.
Here is the statement issued by Mike Shildt as to why he is retiring as manager of the San Diego Padres at the age of 57:
Make that seven back surgeries in 11 years for Tiger Woods.
So far, college football coaches fired this year are owed $400M in payouts.
R.I.P. Sandy Alomar. I still remember the smooth-fielding second baseman of the California Angels. In 1974, after years of being in the doldrums, the legacy New York Yankees found themselves in a race for the AL East and acquired Alomar to replace the much-maligned Horace Clarke. Alomar, along with another pickup, former A.L. batting champ Alex Johnson - whose brother was NFL running back Ron Johnson - kept the Yankees in the fight until the second-to-last game of the season, when they lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, yes the same Brewers who are now in the National League, trying to win their second pennant and first in the NL. Alomar was 81. He was the father of former big leaguers Roberto and Sandy Jr.
I would say the Toronto Blue Jays are in some trouble.
