data-mm-id=”_sl0i87bmc”>Ryan Fitzpatrick lost his job as starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins to rookie Tua Tagovailoa earlier this week. Almost 38, Fitzpatrick was very disappointed as his days as a starting quarterback in the NFL may be over if everything goes well for Tagovailoa. Of course, as Josh McCown has proved, if Fitz wants to stay in the NFL, you can be a backup into your 40's. McCown, 41, is still on the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad. Still, it kind of feels like the end of a uneventful era. Fitzpatrick and his beard have been a part of the NFL for a long time now. The temptation to overstate the importance of Fitzpatrick's longevity is understandable. Take, for instance, this tweet from ESPN analyst and former NFL scout Jim Nagy.Might not have m…

data-mm-id=”_nn1lab28m”>The Jacksonville Jaguars are just over a month away from going on the clock as the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. They will choose Trevor Lawrence, and the future of the franchise begins then. In the meantime, they have a decision to make with Gardner Minshew, the sixth-round pick who garnered a cult following when he seized the starting job in 2019 following Nick Foles' broken collarbone.Minshew was a blast that first year, but struggled in his second season at the helm. At this point, the Washington State product projects as a low-end starter and a high-end backup rather than a league-average starter. The Jags could keep him on to back up Lawrence, but likely want to go with a more reliable option who could also help bring Lawrence along as a q…

data-mm-id=”_g591zifjs”>On Thursday evening, a video of Arizona Cardinals first-year head coach Jonathan Gannon attempting to fire up his squad made the rounds on the Internet.

Unfortunately, Kings head coach Mike Brown had to watch from the locker room after getting ejected for arguing with officials. In the postgame press conference, Brown explained why he got kicked out and brought a prop with him to help illustrate. Brown showed up to the postgame press conference with a laptop and pulled up several plays he had a problem with. His presentation was level-headed and, while he was angry, he wasn't flipping out like Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic.Here's what Brown getting ejected:Mike Brown ejected, Malik Monk holding him back. pic.twitter.com/t3G7srUHQH— Oh no he didn't (@ohnohedidnt24) January 15, 2024And here&…
