On Headline Sports with Jessica:

#1 As soon as the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC Championship over the Baltimore Ravens right wing leaders have said that liberals put Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. That liberals paid off the Chiefs opponents to make the Super Bowl and having the Chiefs in the Big Game would benefit the liberals and President Biden and that Chiefs opponents would be paid off with cabinet positions in the next Biden Administration. How far does some of the right wing go with some of these ideas?

#2 Jessica, former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick the way things are looking will not be a head coach in the NFL for the 2024 season. It’s 2025 that he could get a call from the owner of the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones if current head coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t work out. Jones said “I know him personally and I like him,” Jones said in an interview with Yahoo Sports. “There’s no doubt in my mind we could work together. None.”

#3 The Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edwards was hit with a $40,000 fine for comments made against the officiating after the Timberwolves defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Edwards said that the officials were “bad” and “terrible” for over looking fouls that should have sent him to the free throw line.

#4 The Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was accused of “poking the bear” when he left his helmet, kicking tee, footballs and equipment where Kansas City City Chiefs quarterback Pat Mahomes warms up. Kelce said if Tucker wasn’t going to move his equipment he would be happy to move it for him, with Mahomes throwing the kicking tee and Kelce kicking the footballs. Tucker was winking at Kelce and Mahomes saying it was a joke. Kelce said they weren’t in a joking mood and the Chiefs just wanted to get after it.

#5 With Jim Harbaugh coming back to California once again to be a head coach in the NFL this time with the Los Angeles Chargers scored $16 million per year for five years worth up to $80 million. The Chargers who are noted for not breaking the bank did so with hiring Harbaugh who was the former San Francisco 49ers head coach and most recently the Michigan Wolverines.

On Headline Sports with Charlie O:

#1 Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce will be staying on for the 2024 season. Pierce led the Raiders went 5-4 as interim coach taking over for Josh McDaniels who was fired as head coach.

#2 What was impressive of the job that Pierce did was some of the wins he had the most memorable was the win over the Los Angeles Chargers 63-21 on Dec 14th. The Raiders also went onto beat the Kansas City Chiefs the following week and won their last game of the season defeating the Denver Broncos. There is little doubt that the players not only like coach Pierce but requested that he come back. They’re thankful that owner Mark Davis obliged.

#3 Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is not expected to get a contract extension after the Cowboys had a huge let down in their playoff game against the Green Bay Packers on Sun Dec 14 in Dallas. Jones is still considering the extension but it’s been reported as being unlikely. The Cowboys were 67-42 in the regular season but are only 1-3 in post season under McCarthy.

#4 Bill Belichick has met with the Atlanta Falcons brass twice. The Falcons fired coach Arthur Smith after three seasons at the helm on Jan 8th. Belichick reportedly has only interviewed with the Falcons and no other NFL teams. Belichick coached the New England Patriots for 24 seasons and led them to six Super Bowl titles.

#5 The Philadelphia Eagles Jason Kelce said that when the time comes to retire he will do it formerly and not after an emotional game. Kelce 36, was one of the best NFL centers and selected to the Pro Bowl six times. How will his retirement impact the Eagles?
