We now know who the 15-person Centennial Slate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2020 will be.
Coaches-turned-broadcasters Jimmy Johnson and Bill Cowher were notified on air during last weekend’s broadcasts that they had made the Hall.

Well, that was rough. Wild Card weekend was exciting, but the results were tough on Tony and Andy. They combined to go 1-7 on bets, wiping out much of what they had won in the regular season. The picks weren’t very good either.

Oooh, some drama.
Usually you get a pretty good sense for which one of us is going to win this thing in the first few weeks, but this year we’ve switched off winning and the overall count is within three games. You can cut the tension with a knife.

With Daniel Jones excelling last Sunday in his debut as the New York Giants starting quarterback, it likely cements – if there was any doubt – that Eli Manning’s days a the organization’s starter have ended.
And they’ve mostly been proud days. Manning has never been the best QB in the league, but he’s probably gone back-and-forth between the second- and third-tier at times, excelling, of course, twice on postseason runs that ended up with New York upsetting New England to win two of its Lombardi trophies.
The question, then, becomes does Eli follow in brother Peyton’s footsteps and try to find another team to hook up with at the end of his career for one or two more runs at postseason glory? Or does he decide that 16 seasons is enough. And, if he chooses the latter, will we be hearing from him again in five or 10 years as he prepares for a speech in Canton?
He’s a little bit of a tough one to assess. Does he have the counting stats? Perhaps. If he retired now, he’d do so as the seventh-ranked QB all-time in passing yardage, though barring injury, Philip Rivers likely will pass him up this season. (more…)
