NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Jason Kelce, Taylor Swift's boyfriend's brother, announced he is retiring from the NFL.

 

Taylor's reaction will be the lead story on Sportscenter.

 

I am by no means a fan of Taylor Swift's music but I have to say the way she's really gotten under the skin of old white republican football fans.....I f'n love her.

Imagine calling for boycott's and saying the NFL is unwatchable because the camera pans to a blond girl having fun at her boyfriends football game for 10 seconds.

 

My wife and 2 daughters love her and her music.

I'm a melodeath metal fan, but I do like Taylor as a person. She empowers women and she's quite a philanthropist.

 

The chiefs will make the Super Bowl just so the league can get extra viewers because of her. Who could have imagined that.

 

Yeah the league is really hurting for money and viewers and needed to concoct this in order to drum up some action.

 

That's what you took out of the joke above?

 

No, that was a random thought that popped in my head after I read the joke and I felt like sharing.

First time on a message board?

 

Christian McCaffrey set for full practice Tuesday

49ers running back Christian McCaffrey’s had a lot of time off over the last couple of weeks and it seems to have served him well.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that McCaffrey is set for full participation in practice on Tuesday afternoon. McCaffrey did not play in Week 18 and he rested his calf during the team’s bye week practices, but the return on Tuesday suggests he will be good to go for Saturday night’s game in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) will not practice on Tuesday, but Shanahan told reporters that he expects he will be on the field Wednesday as the team tries to manage his workload in order to ensure he’s good for the game.

Safety Logan Ryan (groin) is also set to miss practice while defensive tackle Arik Armstead (knee, foot) and safety George Odum (biceps) are slated to work in limited fashion.

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters on Tuesday that Andrews put together a good practice.

“I think today was his best showing, so far,” Harbaugh said in his press conference. “He really took a big step — what you saw today, we saw as well. So, it’s encouraging. We’ll just have to see how it goes.”

 

Rams Star Puka Nacua Named Finalist for Offensive Rookie of the Year

It was only a matter of time, but Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has officially been listed as a finalist for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Even though the Los Angeles Rams' season didn't end how they would have wanted, they had a player who had one of the greatest rookie years in NFL history.

Wide receiver Puka Nacua finished the season with the most receptions as well as the most receiving yards ever by a rookie. It was only a matter of time before the young star was named as a finalist for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, and it happened officially on Tuesday.

The other finalists for the award are Texans QB C.J. Stroud, Lions tight end Sam LaPorta, Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, and Dolphins running back De'Von Achane.

All of these players had spectacular seasons, but perhaps the biggest obstacle in Nacua's quest to win the award is Stroud.

Sunday’s game in Detroit is the most expensive divisional round ticket ever

Detroit fans haven’t seen a divisional round playoff game in 32 years, and they’re willing to pay a pretty penny to be there on Sunday.

The average ticket price on the secondary market for Sunday’s Buccaneers-Lions game is $1,186, according to TickPick.com. That blows away any price for any divisional round playoff game, ever.

The highest-priced divisional round game previously was last year’s 49ers-Cowboys game in Dallas at $605, or about half the price of this year’s Lions game, according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com.

Currently the cheapest seat available anywhere inside Ford Field on Sunday is more than $700.

Sunday night’s Rams-Lions game was also the most expensive wild card round ticket ever. Lions fans made their voices heard in that game, and have been credited with the fact that the Rams blew two timeouts in the second half because they couldn’t get their plays called in time to avoid a delay of game penalty. Lions fans are hoping to give their team a similar home-field advantage this week.

The Kansas City Fire Department told KMBC 9 that it received 69 calls for service at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, about half of which were related to hypothermia. Officials took 15 people to the hospital, including seven for hypothermia and three for frostbite.

With a kickoff temperature of -4 degrees and wind chills that reached -30, it was one of the coldest games in NFL history. The packed Arrowhead Stadium had more than 70,000 fans braving the cold.

A lake-effect snow warning is currently in effect in Western New York, including Orchard Park. According to the National Weather Service, heavy lake-effect snows could cause accumulations of 1 to 3 feet, with storm totals potentially exceeding four feet. The warning is currently in effect until 7 p.m. on Thursday.

According to The Weather Channel, the Buffalo area could see snow through Saturday morning.

The storm might not disrupt Sunday's Divisional Round showdown between the Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, which is set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET, but it could hinder the team's ability to get their players in for meetings and practices. A travel ban hasn't been raised this week after Gov. Kathy Hochul put one in place during last week's storm, but head coach Sean McDermott noted the possibility that getting players to the facility could become difficult again.

"We've got a plan in place to make sure we're getting the players in at the right time, as well as the staff, and trying to be on top of that from a scheduling standpoint," McDermott said Tuesday via the Associated Press. "So we'll handle it. Confident in that. And the best thing we can do right now is just have great communication around it for right now."


Snow isn't the only storm the Bills are weathering. Injuries have hit Buffalo significantly. The Bills played Monday without the likes of cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee), linebacker Tyrel Dodson (shoulder), safety Taylor Rapp (calf), and receiver Gabe Davis (knee), then saw CBs Taron Johnson (concussion) and Christian Benford (knee), LBs Terrel Bernard (ankle) and Baylon Spector (back), and punter Sam Martin (hamstring) suffer injuries in the Wild Card round. McDermott said the club is still evaluating all the injuries, but neither the wounds nor the weather will be an excuse.

"There's nothing we can do about it other than getting ourselves ready to go," McDermott said. "Our team has fought all season long. We're not going to stop fighting now. Our team's been resilient, and our players have done a phenomenal job of stepping up when someone has gone down.

"...We've got to make sure that we are putting all the time that we need to put it into, whether it be, treatment opportunities right now, maximizing those opportunities to get ourselves as healthy as we possibly can for game time on Sunday."

Looks like fun, right? F that!

 

When KC goes to Buffalo which is Mahomes first road Playoff game, I think he will get his broken helmet handed to him.

 

The Chiefs/Dolphins game on Peacock was the least viewed game of the weekend. NO SHIT?? Idiots!! Now someone get me a Bud Lite.

 

But they were bragging about it being the highest streamed game ever in the NFL. Probably because that was the only way you could watch it. Makes sense that it could be the lowest rated of the weekend and still be the highest rated streamed. Most people watch the game on their television
