On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:
#1 The Super Bowl is here, but not without controversy in the AFC Championship game, a call that went against the Kansas City Chiefs for roughing Tom Brady, the Patriots quarterback, changed the direction of the game and the Chiefs lost by a touchdown.
#2 In the NFC Championship, the Los Angeles Rams got a no call from the officials when the Rams’ Nickeel Robey-Coleman went helmet to helmet with the New Orleans Saints’ Tommylee Lewis and there was no personal foul call against Coleman on the play. Again, a loss for the Saints 26-23 and no Super Bowl.
#3 Does Amaury believe that these non-calls or bad calls led up to New England and Los Angeles getting in the Super Bowl and the fix was in to get the larger TV market teams or was it just coincidence that it turned out this way?
#4 Who does Amaury like in Super Bowl LIII?
#5 Amaury talks about his past experiences covering Super Bowls.

Raiders name NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock new general manager

ALAMEDA, Calif — The Raiders have found their new general manager in NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock, the organization announced on Monday. Considered as a draft expert, Mayock will work hand-and-hand with head coach Jon Gruden in preparing for the upcoming draft in May.
News of Mayock’s hiring was first reported by NFL Network.
“Mike and I go back about 20 years to 1995 when I was with the Eagles,” Gruden said during a news conference Monday. “We’ve been friends and associates for a long time. … I don’t know anybody who knows and loves (football) like Mike.”
Mayock, 60, replaces former general manager Reggie McKenzie, who was fired by Oakland on Dec. 10, in what turned out to be disappointing season that saw the team trade away All-Pro linebacker Khalil Mack (to Chicago) and former fourth-overall pick in wide receiver Amari Cooper (to Dallas).
Both Mack and Cooper were instrumental in their teams winning their respective divisions and qualify for the playoffs, were drafted by McKenzie.
In his six-plus seasons as general manager of the Raiders, McKenzie compiled a 39-70 record and one playoff appearance. Whispers around the organization about McKenzie’s control as the final decision-maker began to surface once the Raiders signed Gruden to a 10-year contract for $100 million last year.
Back in September, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Gruden had his own staff of people that would help him evaluate talent and make decisions, separate from McKenzie, who had his own team of scouts and evaluators.
“I’m really happy to be here,” Mayock said. “I’ve probably had over 300 text messages [since behind hired by the Raiders]. A couple of them are like Archie Manning going, ‘you guys are a great fit.’ And the more I was just kind of scrolling through, all these football guys were reaching out and saying ‘you and Gruden are a great fit.'”
Mayock began his tenure at the NFL Network in 2004, and should bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Silver and Black. Mayock is well-known for his sharp eye in evaluating draft prospects and analytics. His extensive scouting reports and mock drafts are well respected around the NFL.
Oakland finished the 2018 season 4-12, own three first-round picks in next year’s draft.
