What more could you want from a Thursday night matchup - from a first half that lulled most of us to sleep, to a second half in which we saw the Lions nearly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory… This Lions team is frisky and reminds me of many teams that either make significant noise and rampage through the playoffs (Chiefs 2023, Rams 2021). Having h…

Another One Bites The Dust
What was that loud bang you just heard? It was the Super Bowl window for the 49ers and the Bengals slamming shut… The 49ers are very injured and have seemingly lost a lot of the offensive and defensive mojo they’ve had the previous three seasons. Next year will be the start of a difficult rebuild as their key offensive starters are aging out of contract…
BYU Football Just Finished Their Shakespearean Season in Football
Yes, I know, there is a Bowl game to come...
To be or not to be a good football team. That was BYU’s and Shakespeare’s question that was still left unanswered after 12 games and a 10-2 record.
NFL Picks Week 13
Needless to say… we did not end the CFB regular season with a bang. 1-4 day with bad beats all around. ULM down 7 with 40 seconds left, ULL runs a 40 yard TD instead of kneeling out the clock. Vandy starts the game up 14-0 and still doesn’t cover, just brutal. Hitting our UTSA bet gave us major Game 7 Chris Paul vibes.
Kyle Shanahan’s Football Sins
Kyle Shanahan has committed multiple football sins this season, but today I want to concentrate on one. Stubbornness.
Hi Lowell,
Saw your show with Grant and how you both elaborated on his sins since the Super Bowl loss. I agree, Kyle's stubborness is his greatest down fall. His inability to learn and insistance on relying on his 'system' to provide all the answers, yet, it does not have any this year.
Kyle is just a system coach, he builds a system and insists on it to the detriment to his whole team. He is not a leader, he makes confounding decisions that makes him look like he strives to be 'one of the boys'. This is not a coach/leader. A leader leads the team and not try to be a member of the team. Unfortunately, I dont see him changing despite all signs pointing to the necessity of evolving.
I do think that stubborness is a 'sin' - it has it's roots in pride of the seven deadly sins. He is too proud of his system and the way he approaches coaching, too proud of his 'genius' to listen to others, too proud to be open to change. This goes to show why pride has always been the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.
Much respect,
Phil
Hi Lowell,
I love your writing and your perspective. I have felt for some time that Kyle shows elements of a narcissistic personity. (not that other coaches don't also) The stubborness you write about is certainly a hallmark characteristic of that type of person. Inability to learn from mistakes, vindictiveness, blaming others when things go wrong and, perhaps worst of all, playing favorites beyond all sense of logic.
As we are all coming to understand from our current political crisis, narcissists tend to destroy the very things they covet the most. Sadly, this team is finally revealing the truth of that statement. I suppose it is probably somewhat pathological to expect a football team to provide a sense of joy in ones life, but being an ardent 49er fan going on 45 years I certainly am deriving no joy in watching this team melt down.
We need a better, emotionally more stable and generously supportive head coach. Time for a change.

College Football Playoffs Are Racist
Well not really but you were curious
Today will be a shift from the usual. A break from politics and race to discuss something also near and dear to me— sports. And as the college football season winds down, I wanted to share my thoughts on something I’ve wanted to write about for years
SMU Mustangs Football Offensive Preview
Cal nearly upset one ACC title contender. Can they nearly upset another?
SMU is heading into Saturday’s game with a 10-1 record, and a #9 ranking from the College Football Playoff committee. Cal, on the other hand, has just clinched bowl eligibility (and at least they didn’t wait until the last week of the season to do so this time) and is probably just happy to be here. These two teams are facing wildly different expectatio…
An incredible read as always, Christopher. Happy Thanksgiving to you, sir.
"For example, the following is a play that a quarterback should absolutely never do: throwing on the run, across his body, into traffic."
Kenny Stabler was never more dangerous than when he was on the run.
So, you're sayin' there's a chance!
Post-Game Thoughts: SMU Football
The Fernando-less Bears fall quietly to end the regular season
I wasn’t able to watch this game live due to family obligations, which honestly was kind of a relief BEFORE I saw the news that Fernando wasn’t going to play due to illness. I went from thinking Cal had a ~15% chance to win to thinking that Cal had a 4% chance to win, and I still haven’t rewatched the full game and probably never will.
American Football, Race and thugs.
Why Rugby keeps on being better than American Football.
First off, let me say there is no denying American Football is the more entertaining game. The concept is solid, strategy is more important, the game is way more unpredictable, and some moments are ingrained in my mind forever for the sheer awesomeness of them. That said, I just like Rugby better, and until now I couldn't put my finger as to why that wa…
