OK, it’s time somebody said something, and since no one else has, here we go. Shannon Sharpe, the Hall of Fame tight end has made quite a mark on the sports media landscape over the past several years. But lately, he’s been wilding out to the point where it seems either Unc Shay Shay or Shannon may need some anger management therapy. Maybe it’s that Cognac he’s always sipping like it’s 1973, or maybe it’s that Shannon’s gone so deep into his character work that he forgets where Shannon ends, and Shay Shay begins. – Criss Partee Read More
There are two ways for a head coach to navigate a crushing Super Bowl loss: Take accountability for what went wrong, galvanize the unit and return with vengeance, or engage in friendly fire and burn the walls down. The San Francisco 49ers have opted for finger-pointing and scapegoating each other. Instead of heading into an offseason where much of their roster is still under contract and their quarterback is still playing on a rookie deal for two more seasons, Captain Shanahan has them on a collision course with the Titanic wreckage. – DJ Dunson Read More
Once again, the San Francisco 49ers have to be kicking themselves after controlling much of Super Bowl LVIII, only to surrender a 10-point lead while falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime, 25-22. For the players who experienced this same feeling four years ago, it must be like Déjà vu. To have Patrick Mahomes and KC seemingly where you want them then suddenly get caught up in a back-and-forth battle must be agonizing. – Criss Partee Read More
It’s the day after the Super Bowl and time for a million overreactions to what we witnessed Sunday night. One piece of information that popped up following the 49ers Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs, is that some of San Francisco’s players were not aware of the different playoff overtime rules. While players should do their part in knowing rules and regulations, Kyle Shanahan and his coaching staff should be certain everyone is clear on overtime procedures. – Criss Partee Read More
Allow me to address your concerns right off the bat. Yes, saying that Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is the worst Senator in America feels subjective at best, and like hyperbole for the sake of clicks at worst. But hear me out. I am confident you’ll come to share my opinion, even in the day of other strong contenders for “worst” senator, like Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, and Marsha Blackburn. Give me a chance to make my case. – Julie DiCaro Read More
Sports evict emotions, it’s why we love them. And if you’ve ever been on a team, like a real team that was actually good and won something of importance, you understand that things can get heated in the huddle, in the locker room, or at practice. Competition and the will to win aren’t passive traits. But for many, Travis Kelce’s behavior toward Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reird during Super Bowl LVIII crossed a line. And while we may never know what Kelce said to his coach, we do know that there are a ton of athletes who could never get away with that. – Carron J. Phillips Read More
One person was killed, and 21 others were injured after a shooting took place near Union Station towards the end of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII victory parade, according to reports. – Cale Clinton Read More
A tweet by San Francisco 49ers lineman Jon Feliciano about his Super Bowl LVIII injury replacement led to accusations of death threats between himself and Philadelphia Eagles rookie DL Jalen Carter. – Mackenzie Meaney Read More
Andy Reid should’ve won Super Bowl MVP for his overtime management
Patrick Mahomes won his third super bowl MVP, but if coaches were eligible for MVP it should’ve gone to Reid for his game management in the final stretch
If yesterday’s Super Bowl LVIII extravaganza — from the pregame to the broadcast to the game itself — left you a little cold, you were definitely watching the wrong broadcast. Sure, nothing changes the fact that the entire game consisted largely of trading field goals and then ended exactly how we knew it would all along, but I’m here to tell you that the right team in the booth can make all the difference. And I’m not talking about Jim Nantz and Tony Romo. – Julie DiCaro Read More
