The NFL’s Coaching Rehire Machine: Why the Same 10 Coaches Keep Getting Jobs
If you’ve ever looked at an NFL coaching hire and thought, Haven’t I seen this disaster before?, you’re not alone. The NFL has a bizarre obsession with recycling the same 10-15 head coaches, even when they’ve already proven they’re about as effective as a broken headset on the sideline. The Science of Mediocrity: A Look at the Stats To understand just how ridiculous this cycle is, let’s break…

Will Anyone Admit Robert Kraft Screwed Up By Firing Bill Belichick?
As we’ve reached the Patriots’ bye week, Robert Kraft’s decision to part ways with Bill Belichick is increasingly looking like a terrible move. (Some of us knew that from the start.) As the season progresses, the consequences of this choice are becoming more apparent, suggesting that the Krafts definitely acted too soon in dismissing their long-time coach. Now, if you know me at all, you know…
Celtics Raise Banner 18, Patriots Drama Continues
After an ignominious end to the season for the Red Sox, and a historically bad start to the season for the Patriots, Tuesday night’s Celtics season opener with the ring ceremony and banner raising couldn’t have come at a better time. It didn’t disappoint. From seeing the journey from the start with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, to seeing Al Horford get his ring, and seeing Bob Cousy, at 96,…
Mazz: Whoops, I did it again
For someone who insists he is a firm believer in “racial and social equality”, Tony Massarotti is building quite a history of saying racist things while on the air. Massarotti has already been suspended once, back in February of 2023: Felger was broadcasting from New Orleans, when Massarotti said on-air that Felger should watch two Black people behind him. He told his co-host that they might…
Does Bill Belichick Need To Be Accountable For How Things Ended in New England?
It was an odd segment. Mike Reiss saying that Bill Belichick needed to be accountable for his last two years in New England before he could take him seriously as an analyst. I wanted to make sure I had the context, so I went back and listened to the segment. It was even worse than I thought. It came out of a discussion from Bertrand and Zolak who were saying that because Belichick had said…
“I kind of spoke too soon” - the Jerod Mayo Story
Earlier this month, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo made the following statement to reporters. This was not the first time something like this had happening with Mayo, and it certainly wasn’t the last. It’s become a pattern. While the first year coach definitely should be allowed a learning curve, you would think observing Bill Belichick over the last 16 years would have given Mayo some insight…
Matthew Judon Contract Situation and Performance Analysis
Matthew Judon dominated Patriots camp this week, just not with his play on the field. For the second summer in a row, the Patriots linebacker is seeking a new/reworked contract. After stating repeatedly during the offseason that he would play on his current contract, Judon changed tack, with a hold-in once the pads came on in training camp. For that first practice Judon showed up without pads…
