Correct and Wrong of the Weekend
Wrong
I was wrong about Paddy Pimblett, yet. He is not quite ready for a professional is level and maturity such as Justin Gaethje, turning into one of the greatest lightweights in a long time.
Correct
The Seattle Seahawks would match up in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. Since 2015, these two teams have not met.
The Pats became the most all-time to ever advance to their 12th Super Bowl. The Pats could be singing a good praise but I am sticking to my original score.
SEA 28, NE 27

Bo Nixed
Bo Nix has been nixed from the NFL playoffs after undergoing ankle surgery. He will miss 12 weeks of action as this comes a critical time for the Denver Broncos.
They face the New England Patriots on Sunday at 3 ET for the AFC title and the rights to go to Super Bowl 60. Jarrett Stidham will replace him.
Stidham known for his crucial career at Auburn and extending it to New England and Denver, will have all eyes on him. Stidham must win this game to go on to the next round and face either the Seattle Seahawks or Los Angeles Rams.

The Heisman Dive that Caught it All
Fernando Mendoza has been a sensational quarterback this season for the Indiana Hoosiers and went on to win the Heisman award for best male college football athlete.
Last night against his hometown of Miami, he won again, this time diving into the end zone for a game-winning touchdown. It could be seen by a massive audience at home and the crowd waiting back at Indiana.
Mendoza lighted up the spotlight with his smile and sent one home for the Indiana Hoosiers. They became national champions for the first time ever under Curt Cignetti and what was laughable is coach‘s remarks stating he would celebrate to a beer beverage following the biggest win of the program’s history.
Mendoza did not know where he would play in his illustrious college career and it just so happened his brother, Alberto, entered the transfer portal, as of this morning. But, what shaped the foundation of Indiana, was Mendoza’s commitment to excellence after Indiana won only three games in 2023.
They ran it back and won because of Mendoza’s culpability to handle pressure and mastermind the Indiana offense. For that, Mendoza is awarded an A+.

What is Next for the Buffalo Bills?
It has been announced by Buffalo Bills brass that Sean McDermott is no longer with the team.
This comes as bit of a shock as McDermott stood up for Buffalo in his exit press conference. McDermott was a leader in Buffalo that storied the good and hard times.
One felt hard enough to swallow when the Bills lost to the Denver Broncos 30-33 this past weekend. Some non-supporters of the decision have LeSean McCoy puzzled.
McDermott led the Bills to two AFC championships and Wild Card/divisional rounds that resulted in a loss. Brandon Beane now steps in as general manager to find the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
When asked about the positivity of the move, owner Terry Pegula stood up with a yes morale saying this would take Bills Mafia to the next level.
QB Josh Allen will turn 30 in May. It leads into question whether he can sustain the hard drive of the team and carry it to its first ever Super Bowl.
The four falls of Buffalo is available on ESPN 30 for 30 as it reimagines what the Bills culture is like today without multiple Super Bowls to their prestige case. The Bills will be searching for a new head coach and it better be sensationally good, especially arriving to a different home stadium.

The New York Jets Horror Show Continues
It has been reported that Dante Moore is forgoing the 2026 NFL Draft and turns out worse there. The New York Jets are without a quarterback and the only one on the top-10 rated board is Fernando Mendoza who will likely join Las Vegas.
Just imagine if Mendoza joined the Jets. It will not happen for New York when one prospect calls to the rescue or a multitude of talent jump aboard. The Jets cannot get it right.
The Oregon Ducks share good news because of the speedy, elusive Moore returning and transfer of five star recruit Dylan Raiola.
Despite the loss of defensive coordinator, Tosh Lupoi, they stand to get better with head coach Dan Lanning still around.
The Jets will never be like the Jetsons that can tell futuristic things such as the microwave or Apple Watch. They are a horror show that cannot win after losing Quinnen Williams, Sauce Gardner, and Aaron Rodgers to the playoff Pittsburgh Steelers.

John Harbaugh is ‘Very Interested’ in Giants job
Previously yesterday, the idea was entertained here about the Eagles hiring John Harbaugh. Well it turns out Harbaugh is ‘very interested’ in the Giants job, according to the Athletic.
Harbaugh, 63, does not look his age. He won a Super Bowl in 2012 with the likes of Joe Flacco, Ray Lewis, and Ed Reed.
In this go around, Harbaugh would pair with Jaxson Dart and Cam Skatebo.
Some might say Dart has a bright future but Skatebo is arguably the team’s best player after lifting the Giants to win two games during the start of the NFL regular season. His impact was felt well known as the Giants later fired head coach Brian Daboll.

Is John Harbaugh in Play for the Philadelphia Eagles?
John Harbaugh is an astute learner of the game. He has matriculated to the game of football and for a long period of time.
This year is 2026. Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears were so 2000 and now the Philadelphia Eagles are begging the $2 million question. Is it worth bringing back AJ Brown and Nick Sirianni?
At this point, it is likely Brown will walk. What about Sirianni? What about his weak coaching and inability to play-call?
It would be interesting if the Eagles ascertained the status of former Eagles special teams coordinator, John Harbaugh. Harbaugh would instantly have the edge to call shots with Howie Roseman and emerge a juggernaut.
Eagles fans would have to keep an eye on the days to come as Harbaugh will regroup within a week according to those familiar with him.
