Super Bowl week press conferences are about the silliest you’ll ever see. First you have all the non-sports media types asking their idiotic questions, then you have the regular sports media types who can’t think of anything new to ask.

Leslie Frazier lost the Dolphins job to Tony Sparano, and his candidacy for the Indianapolis job was a non-starter (since Jim Caldwell had already been tabbed to succeed Tony Dungy). But there’s still one more team out there with a head coaching vacancy: The Atlanta Falcons. And sure enough, Chris Mortensen is reporting that Frazier [...]

Woke up this morning to see the thermometer at -17. Of course it didn’t feel nearly that warm with the wind blowing. Thankfully my car started despite not being plugged in all night.
